Cotton Kapda Kya Hota Hai? (Hindi)
Cotton ek prakritik resh (natural fiber) se bana kapda hai jo cotton ke paudhe (Gossypium) se nikala jaata hai. Yeh duniya ka sabse zyada istemal hone wala prakritik kapda hai aur saadiyon se logon ke kapdon mein use ho raha hai.
Cotton ke paudhe par jo safed, rooi jaisi cheez hoti hai โ use cotton boll kehte hain. Isko processing karke, dhage banaye jaate hain aur phir un dhaagon se kapda buna jaata hai. Is poori prakriya ko "spinning and weaving" kehte hain.

Cotton Ke Prakar (Types of Cotton)
1. Pure Cotton (100% Cotton)
Is mein koi synthetic resh nahi milaya jaata. Yeh sabse natural form hai. Isme breathability sabse zyada hoti hai lekin wrinkle bhi jaldi aata hai aur ironing zyada karni padti hai. School uniform mein pure cotton ka use kam hota hai kyunki yeh jaldi wrinkle ho jaata hai.
2. TC Blend (Terylene-Cotton)
TC blend mein cotton aur polyester (terylene) dono milaye jaate hain โ usually 65% polyester + 35% cotton. Yeh school uniform ke liye sabse popular choice hai kyunki:
- Cotton ki breathability bhi milti hai
- Polyester ki strength aur wrinkle resistance bhi milti hai
- Jaldi dry hota hai
- Shape maintain karta hai
- Pure cotton se sasta bhi hota hai
3. CVC (Chief Value Cotton)
Isme cotton ki matra zyada hoti hai โ usually 60% cotton + 40% polyester. TC se zyada comfortable lekin thoda mehenga. Premium school shirts mein use hota hai.

What is Cotton Fabric? (English)
Cotton is a natural fiber obtained from the cotton plant (Gossypium). It is the world's most widely used natural textile fiber and has been used in clothing for thousands of years. The soft, fluffy fibers that grow around the seeds of the cotton plant are harvested, spun into yarn, and woven into fabric.
Cotton is prized for its breathability, softness, and skin-friendliness โ making it the preferred choice for clothing that is worn directly against the skin, especially for children's school uniforms in India's warm climate.
Key Properties of Cotton Fabric
- Breathable: Air passes through cotton fabric easily, keeping the wearer cool in hot weather
- Moisture Absorbent: Cotton can absorb up to 27x its weight in water โ ideal for active school children
- Hypoallergenic: Natural fiber with very low risk of skin irritation or allergic reaction
- Machine Washable: Easily laundered without special care requirements
- Biodegradable: Environmentally friendly natural material
Why TC Blend (Terylene-Cotton) is Used for School Uniforms
Pure cotton, while comfortable, has one major drawback for school uniforms โ it wrinkles very easily. A pure cotton shirt loses its crisp look within hours of wearing. This is why most school uniform manufacturers, including us, use TC blend fabric (65% Polyester + 35% Cotton).
TC blend combines the best of both worlds โ the breathability of cotton with the durability and wrinkle-resistance of polyester. For a school uniform that needs to look neat all day and survive daily washing through the school year, TC blend is the professional choice.
