Cotton is a natural fibre that absorbs moisture, feels pleasant and is breathable, but it creases and dries more slowly. Polyester is synthetic, absorbs very little water, dries quickly, is strong and keeps its shape.
For this reason cotton is chosen for everyday comfort, and polyester for sportswear, uniforms and articles that must stay stable. Blends combine the advantages. Polyester can retain odours and build static electricity. Choose by end use; the right blend is established by testing a sample.
