Cotton : Origine végétale. Fibre textile constituée par les filaments soyeux enveloppant les graines de coton. [...] La fibre de coton est constituée par 87 % de cellulose, de l'eau, des cendres, des protides, de la cire et des pectines. Sa densité est de 1,5. Susceptible de retenir une grande humidité (8,5 % de son poids en eau), son pouvoir calorifique est moyen. Le coton est assez bon conducteur de la chaleur. Son caractère principal est sa longueur; celle-ci, selon les espèces, va de 1 à 4 cm. Les cotons les plus longs sont les plus fins. Ils sont classés suivant les pays producteurs.  3, record 3, French, - fibre%20de%20coton
