Terrycot is a fibre made from the mixture of two fibres:------

A. COTTON which is a natural plant fibre. Its scientific name is Gossypium spp. It has
soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective casing on the plant.


B. TERYLENE which is a polymer of 1. Ethylene Glycol 2. Terephthalic Acid.

Terylene is a synthetic fibre used for making clothes. It is elastic, highly durable, wrinkle-free.The acid is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (old name: terephthalic acid). The alcohol is ethane-1,2-diol (old name: ethylene glycol).

Terrycot is a Blended fabric made by combination of Terylene and Cotton.

Terrycot= Terylene + Cotton.
---->Most common ratio used is 65% cotton and 35% Terylene.
--->Even 50%_50% combination is also used.
---> Terylene is a popular polyester fibre.
---> The chemical compounds ( monomers) used in preparation of Terylene are made from petroleum products.
---> Terylene is often mixed with natural fibre like cotton to make clothes.
----> Terycot fabric are more comfortable to wear than Terylene.
