Cotton Tape 

Cotton is one of the best fibres for apparel such as webbing tape for clothing or workwear, due to its comfort, wash-ability and ability to deal with perspiration. 

 

• Strength - cotton tape is relatively strong (3-5 grams/denier) and gets stronger when wet.
• Moisture - cotton webbing tape has the ability to absorb some moisture without feeling damp.This makes it a good choice for clothing.
• Elongation - the fibres will only extend by 5-10%, however, the take up in the yarn and webbing will take this to around 15%.
• Cotton can be dyed to virtually any shade. Colour fastness will vary according to type of dye and shade required.
• Cotton will stand elevated temperatures for many hours (up to 120 degrees C) although it will turn yellow. It will decompose at 150 degrees C).
• Flammability - cotton burns easily. We can apply finishes that will slow the burn rate down or make the cotton self-extinguish. These finishes are water-soluble and can be washed out. 
• Cotton will stand weak acids but strong acids break it down. It is very resistant to alkalis and this means that cotton will stand up to repeated washing.
