Cotton poly is a kind of blended fiber made by combining pure cotton fiber with other synthetic fibers. Not every cotton poly yarn has the same composition, because the blend ratio of cotton and polyester differs from one manufacturer to another. The most common blend ratios today include 20% cotton/80% polyester and 25% cotton/75% polyester, among others.The higher the cotton ratio, the softer and more breathable the cotton poly fabric.
The most distinctive component of cotton poly fiber is the proportion of ethylene (derived from petroleum), which gives it superior properties compared with 100% pure cotton, such as lighter weight, higher durability, lower cost, extremely high stretch, and a lifespan that holds up especially well against the surrounding environment.

High durability: The structure of cotton poly fiber is very strong, which reduces the contact area and friction with external environmental factors, creating favorable conditions for maintaining the durability of the fiber throughout its use. With its extremely high elasticity, cotton poly fiber can withstand many different forces. This is extremely important for maintaining the durability of the product through continuous daily use.Very easy to clean: While cotton fiber causes quite a lot of trouble in the laundry, cotton poly makes this step much simpler. With extremely good resistance to wrinkles and creasing, users can wash their cotton poly shirts by hand or by machine without worrying about affecting the natural structure of the fabric fibers.
