TC 50/50 Poly-Cotton Blended Yarn for Weaving

Product Overview

By integrating 50% cotton—renowned for its softness and moisture absorption—with 50% polyester—valued for its strength and resilience—this yarn creates a material that excels in diverse weaving scenarios. Crafted through advanced ring-spinning technology, it delivers consistent quality across every meter, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking reliability in fabric production. Whether for lightweight apparel or heavy-duty industrial textiles, its 50/50 blend ratio strikes the perfect equilibrium between comfort, durability, and cost-effectiveness, catering to both mass production and premium manufacturing needs.

Product Features

Enhanced Strength and Durability

The polyester component—selected for its high molecular weight—reinforces the yarn’s tensile strength, making it resistant to repeated stress and abrasion. Independent lab tests (ASTM D2256) confirm a 15% higher breaking strength compared to 100% cotton yarns, even after 50+ wash cycles. This durability ensures fabrics maintain structural integrity in high-wear applications, from industrial workwear to frequently used upholstery.

Breathability and Comfort

Cotton’s natural cellular structure enables superior moisture absorption, with the blend achieving a moisture regain rate of 8-10%—ideal for skin-contact textiles. The yarn wicks perspiration away from the body, allowing rapid evaporation to keep wearers cool in warm climates. This breathability makes it a top choice for summer clothing, bedding, and children’s apparel, where comfort is paramount.

Colorfastness

Advanced reactive dyeing technology ensures deep color penetration into both fiber types. The yarn retains 90% of its original color after 50 washes (AATCC 61-2013 test, Method 2A) and resists fading under UV exposure (AATCC 169-2013, 40 hours). This vibrancy stability is critical for branded apparel and home textiles where color consistency matters.

Eco-Friendly Production

With an optional recycled polyester variant, the yarn supports sustainable manufacturing goals. The production process reduces water usage by 20% compared to conventional blending methods, and OEKO-TEX® certification guarantees the absence of harmful substances like formaldehyde and heavy metals, aligning with global eco-conscious trends.

Applications

Apparel Industry

Casual Wear: T-shirts, button-down shirts, and dresses benefit from the yarn’s soft handfeel and wrinkle resistance, maintaining a polished look throughout the day.

Workwear: Industrial uniforms, chef coats, and medical scrubs leverage its durability and stain resistance, withstanding frequent laundering and heavy use.

Children’s Apparel: Gentle on sensitive skin, it’s ideal for baby rompers and kids’ playwear, combining comfort with easy care.

Home Textiles

Bedding: Sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers offer a silky-smooth texture and long lifespan, resisting pilling even after years of use.

Curtains: Sheer panels and blackout drapes benefit from its lightweight strength, maintaining drape while withstanding daily sunlight exposure.

Upholstery: Sofa fabrics, chair covers, and throw pillows resist fading and stretching, retaining their appearance in high-traffic living spaces.

Industrial Use

Medical Textiles: Surgical gowns, patient linens, and isolation curtains (with optional antimicrobial treatment) meet healthcare hygiene standards.

Technical Fabrics: Conveyor belt liners, automotive seat covers, and filtration fabrics rely on its tensile strength and dimensional stability.

FAQ

Q: Is TC 50/50 yarn suitable for high-end clothing?

A: Absolutely. Its combed cotton component ensures a luxuriously soft touch, while the polyester blend enhances durability—key for luxury shirts, dresses, and tailored garments. Brands often choose it for premium lines due to its ability to maintain a crisp appearance and vibrant colors through multiple wears.

Q: What is the recommended weaving tension for this yarn?

A: We recommend a tension of 8-10 cN/tex during weaving. This range balances strength and flexibility, preventing yarn breakage while ensuring uniform fabric density. For high-count yarns (e.g., 60s), slightly lower tension (7-9 cN/tex) is advised to preserve softness.

Q: Can this yarn be used for outdoor applications?

A: Yes. The polyester component provides inherent UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor textiles like patio umbrellas, awnings, and garden furniture covers. It resists mildew growth and color fading, even with prolonged exposure to rain and sunlight.
