Study on Performance Comparison between Linen Fabric and Cotton Fabric
To explore the characteristics of linen fabric performance, we comparatively analysis the performance of linen fabric and cotton fabric, which are similar in specification and structure. A series of performance test are made, such as tensile, tear, wear, anti-wrinkle and drape, breathability, moisture permeability and other performance indicators. The results show that the performance of linen finished cloth, such as tear, wear, anti-wrinkle and drape performance, is worse than cotton finished fabrics. While the stretch, breathability and moisture permeability properties are superior to cotton finished fabrics. After treatment, the fracture strength, tear strength, abrasion resist- ance and wrinkle resistance of linen fabric are decrease. While the breathability, moisture permeability and drape are improved.
