About Cotton (Pima) (Second Quality)
Pima cotton (second quality) is a premium long-staple cotton variant with fiber lengths of 1.375–1.625 inches, primarily used in high-end textiles, apparel, and industrial applications requiring superior softness and durability. Second quality denotes slight imperfections acceptable for most end-uses while maintaining performance characteristics. International trade classifies pima by staple length, micronaire, and strength grades. Peru, India, and the United States are major producers and exporters, with Peru accounting for approximately 60% of global pima supply. Buyers should verify moisture content and foreign matter levels upon shipment, as second-quality pima often exhibits higher variation in these parameters compared to premium grades, directly impacting final fabric quality and processing efficiency.
