This lightweight cotton twill tape is a pure cotton webbing, usually in roll form. It is available in black and white, with uniform width and thickness, and the surface presents the unique twill texture of cotton. This webbing is light, soft, comfortable to touch, delicate and natural, with good breathability and skin-friendliness. With its simple appearance and practical characteristics, it is a common basic webbing material and is widely used in many fields.

Lightweight Cotton Twill Tape Features:

High-quality cotton material

This lightweight cotton twill tape is made of 100% combed cotton fiber. The combing process removes short fibers and impurities in the cotton fiber, making the fiber length uniformity of the tape as high as 95% or more. The fiber strength test results show that its average breaking strength can reach 3200N/tex. This long and strong fiber structure gives the tape excellent durability and wear resistance. Even under repeated friction and pulling, it is not easy to break, pill or break. It provides a solid material foundation for the long-term use of the product and meets the user's demand for high-quality cotton fabrics.

Significant light and thin characteristics

After professional testing, the unit area weight of this tape is only 80g/m² and the thickness is about 0.5mm, which is much lower than the specifications of 150-200g/m² and 1-1.5mm of ordinary Cotton Tape. While ensuring sufficient strength, its light and thin characteristics make it almost not add extra weight during use. Whether it is used for clothing production or other light industrial purposes, it can provide a light wearing or use experience, especially suitable for scenes with high requirements for product portability, such as making decorative belts for children's clothing or Shoulder Straps for light backpacks.

Soft and comfortable touch

Tested by a softness tester, the softness of the ribbon reached level IV (according to the international textile softness classification standard), which is mainly due to the high-quality cotton fiber and special finishing process it uses. During the production process, after mercerization and gentle bio-polishing, the surface of the cotton fiber is smoother and the friction coefficient between the fibers is reduced to about 0.28. When the ribbon comes into contact with the skin, it can provide a delicate touch like baby skin, without causing skin discomfort or allergic reactions, bringing the user an ultimate comfortable experience, especially suitable for making clothing parts or baby products that come into direct contact with the skin.

Uniform thickness

During the production process, the thickness tolerance of the webbing is controlled within ±0.03mm through high-precision weaving equipment and a strict quality monitoring system. This extremely high thickness consistency ensures that the performance of the webbing is stable during mass production or continuous use. Whether it is cutting, folding or sewing, a uniform and smooth processing effect can be obtained, avoiding processing difficulties and finished product defects caused by thickness differences. For example, in clothing production, using this uniform thickness webbing to make collars, cuffs and other parts can effectively reduce wrinkles and uneven tightness, and improve the overall quality and aesthetics of clothing.

Rich customizable colors

This lightweight cotton twill tape provides a wealth of color customization options. In addition to standard black and white, it can also provide more than 200 colors of customization services according to the Pantone color card, and the color error is strictly controlled within the range of ΔE≤0.8. In the dyeing process, environmentally friendly reactive dyes and advanced dyeing processes are used to ensure the brightness and fastness of the color. After the color fastness test, it reached level 4-5 (up to level 8) in the sunlight fastness test and level 4-5 (up to level 5) in the washing fastness test, which means that the color of the webbing is not easy to fade or cross-color during normal use and washing, and can maintain the original bright color for a long time, meeting the user's needs for different color matching, and is widely used in various designs and application scenarios.

Excellent color fastness performance

In addition to the above color customization and color fastness test results, the webbing also performed well in the friction fastness test, with dry friction fastness reaching level 4-5 and wet friction fastness reaching level 3-4. This shows that even if it is frequently rubbed with other objects or used in a humid environment, the color of the webbing will not easily transfer or fade, ensuring the appearance integrity of the product. For example, when making backpack straps with dark webbing, there will be no color contamination even if it is rubbed with skin or clothing for a long time, providing users with reliable color guarantee and extending the service life and aesthetics of the product.

Highly durable quality

In the wear resistance test, a Martindale wear tester was used, with No. 12 sandpaper as the friction medium. After 10,000 turns under a load of 1000g, the surface wear rate of the webbing was only 3%, and there was no obvious damage or fiber breakage. At the same time, in the tensile fatigue test, after 10,000 stretch-release cycle tests (stretching length is 1.5 times the original length), the tensile strength retention rate of the webbing was still above 90%. This shows that the webbing has extremely high durability and can withstand repeated mechanical stress and friction. It is suitable for various application scenarios that require long-term use and frequent operation, reducing replacement costs and resource waste caused by product damage.

Excellent tear resistance

After tear strength testing, the tear strength of the webbing can reach 180N, thanks to its tight twill weave structure and high-strength cotton fiber combination. The interweaving method between cotton fibers enables the webbing to effectively disperse stress and resist the generation and expansion of tears when it is pulled by external forces. In actual applications, even if the webbing is accidentally caught by a sharp object, it is not easy to tear, or even if a small tear occurs, it will not expand rapidly, which provides a guarantee for the safe use of the product. For example, when making straps or fixing straps for outdoor equipment, its tear resistance can ensure the reliability of the product in complex environments and reduce the safety risks caused by webbing tearing.

Lightweight Cotton Twill Tape Maintenance:

Daily cleaning and maintenance

For daily cleaning of this lightweight cotton twill tape, it is recommended to use a mild neutral detergent for hand washing, and the water temperature should be controlled below 30℃. This is because too high water temperature may cause the cotton fibers to shrink and deform, affecting the dimensional stability and softness of the tape. During the cleaning process, avoid rubbing hard or brushing with a hard brush to avoid surface wear of the fibers and damage to the internal structure. After washing, the tape should be laid flat in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. Do not expose it to the sun or use high-temperature drying equipment, otherwise it will make the cotton fibers fragile and reduce the strength and durability of the tape. For example, after a high-temperature drying of 60℃, the tensile strength of the tape will decrease by about 25%, and the softness will also be significantly reduced. Therefore, the correct cleaning and drying method is the key to maintaining the performance of the tape.

Storage environment requirements

When storing this lightweight cotton twill tape, a dry, ventilated, and light-proof environment should be selected. The ideal storage temperature is 18℃ - 25℃, and the relative humidity is maintained at 45% - 55%. This is because an environment with too high humidity is prone to mold growth, which will decompose cotton fibers during growth, causing the ribbon to mold and deteriorate, and its strength to decrease; while too high or too low temperatures may accelerate the aging process of cotton fibers, making them brittle and easy to break. In addition, avoid mixing ribbons with polluting items (such as oils, chemicals, etc.) to prevent the ribbons from being contaminated or corroded. When storing in the warehouse, it is recommended to place the ribbons on shelves, at least 10cm away from the ground and walls to ensure air circulation and reduce the risk of moisture and contamination.

Avoid external damage

During use and storage, try to avoid contact between the ribbon and sharp objects to prevent snagging, scratching, etc. For example, in a clothing production workshop, the sewing machine's stitches are too dense or the needle tip is not sharp, which may scratch the surface fibers of the ribbon, causing partial breakage, and thus affecting the overall performance of the ribbon. At the same time, when transporting and stacking, heavy objects should be avoided from directly pressing the webbing. Excessive pressure may cause irreversible deformation of the internal fiber structure of the webbing, resulting in wrinkles, looseness and other problems in the webbing, affecting its use effect. In industrial applications, for the webbing installed on the equipment, it is necessary to regularly check whether there are parts or foreign objects around it that may cause wear, and clean and adjust it in time to reduce the risk of external force damage and extend the service life of the webbing.

Regular appearance inspection

To ensure that the webbing is always in good use, it is recommended to conduct regular appearance inspections. The inspection cycle can be determined according to the frequency of use and environment. It is generally recommended to inspect it every 1-2 weeks. The inspection content includes observing whether there are obvious wear, fading, pilling, creases and other problems on the surface of the webbing; checking whether the edges of the webbing are loose or off-line; for the webbing parts that have been made into products, it is also necessary to check whether the connection with other parts is firm. If the webbing is found to have signs of local damage or performance degradation, repair measures or replacement of the webbing should be taken in time to avoid the failure of the entire product or affect the user experience due to webbing problems. For example, in footwear manufacturing, regular inspection of the appearance and performance of shoelaces can timely detect and replace damaged shoelaces to ensure the normal use and safety of shoes.

Correct sewing and use

When sewing lightweight cotton twill tape, you should choose sewing thread and needle size that match the material of the tape. It is generally recommended to use cotton or polyester-cotton blended sewing thread No. 30 or No. 40, and needle size 9-11. This ensures that the friction coefficient between the sewing thread and the tape is moderate, and will not cause excessive wear to the tape during the sewing process, while also ensuring the firmness and beauty of the stitching. During the sewing process, control the appropriate sewing speed and tension to avoid deformation, wrinkling or skipping of the tape due to excessive speed or tension. When using tape to make products, such as packaging tape, shoelaces, etc., the stretching degree and stress of the tape should be reasonably controlled according to the design requirements and usage scenarios of the product to avoid excessive stretching or long-term excessive load, otherwise it may affect the elasticity and durability of the tape and shorten its service life.

Special stain treatment

If the lightweight cotton twill tape is accidentally stained with special stains, such as oil stains, ink, rust, etc., the corresponding treatment methods should be adopted according to the different types of stains. For oil stains, you can first wipe it gently with gasoline or alcohol, and then wash it normally; for ink stains, you can use a special ink remover for local treatment, and then wash it according to the normal washing method; for rust stains, you can use citric acid solution or oxalic acid solution to soak and remove, but the soaking time should not be too long to avoid damage to the cotton fiber. When handling special stains, you should pay attention to gentle movements to avoid excessive force that may damage the surface of the tape. The treated tape should be cleaned and dried as soon as possible to restore its original cleanliness and performance status.
