Supima® cotton, the premium raw material for our top quality yarns

The most important quality characteristic of cotton is the fibre length (staple length). It is not only a critical parameter for the maximum spinable yarn count but it also affects several aspects of the yarn quality.

With a staple length of more than 35 mm, the extra long staple (ELS) variety Gossypium barbadense provides the best quality and represents only 3% of the worldwide production. The middle staple varieties G. hirsutum und G. arboreum are with 96% the most widespread species and produce a staple length of 24 to 34 mm. G. herbaceum has a short and coarse fibre (less than 24 mm) and represents only about 1% of the worldwide cotton production.

Bühler uses only American extra long staple Supima® cotton in both, the Swiss and in the US production. ELS cotton is ideal for premium textile products and provides a number of very important advantages:

Compared to middle staple, ELS cotton has a 45% higher breaking strength! The higher fibre strength leads to a considerably higher yarn strength which allows a smooth further processing, even in critical applications. Additionally, the high strength is an important precondition for several finishing processes.
