How to Identify Cotton and Linen Fiber

Due to  some textile and clothing manufacturers sold in the market do not standardize the name and content of the fabric components, unscrupulous businessmen take the opportunity to shoddy, pass off as real, and deceive consumers.
In order to help consumers accurately identify the main real components of clothing fabrics, Suzhou Tuobu Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. now introduces a simple identification method.

The simple method to identify the components of clothing fabrics is the combustion method. The method is to draw a piece of cloth yarn containing warp yarn and weft yarn at the seam of the garment, light it with fire, observe the state of the burning flame, smell the smell of the cloth yarn after burning, and look at the residue after burning, so as to judge Whether it is consistent with the fabric composition marked on the clothing durability label to identify the authenticity of the fabric composition.
Cotton fiber and hemp fiber are both flammable when they are close to the flame, burning rapidly, the flame is yellow, and blue smoke is emitted. The difference between the smell and ashes after burning is that cotton emits paper smell when burned, and hemp burns emits plant ash; after burning, cotton has very little powder ash, which is black or gray, and hemp produces a small amount of off-white powder ash. It can be easily identified by the color of the flame produced by burning and the smell produced after burning.
