Polycotton (65% polyester, 35% cotton) is a material particularly suited to demanding work environments such as catering, the medical sector, construction and industry .

It offers several major advantages:

Strength and durability

More resistant than 100% cotton, polycotton withstands frequent washing, friction and intensive working conditions.

Easy care

Resistant to wrinkling and quick-drying, it is ideal for everyday use in a professional environment.

Optimal comfort

It combines the softness of cotton with the lightness and flexibility of polyester, ensuring lasting comfort during long working days.

Resistance to stains and stress

Thanks to polyester, the fabric absorbs less liquid and dries faster, making it easier to care for medical uniforms, kitchen clothes and industrial workwear .

Excellent value for money

Polycotton is more economical than 100% natural fabrics while maintaining excellent quality and long lifespan.

Polycotton is therefore a strategic choice for professionals in healthcare, catering, construction and industry looking for durable, comfortable and easy-care workwear .
