The fibers of Asiatic cottons are used in padding because of their resiliency and in other non-woven applications requiring high absorbency such as disposable diapers and feminine products. The fiber walls are very thick and, although fiber length is usually less than an inch, the micronaire can exceed 8.0. It is the high cellulose content of the fibers that make them resilient to pressure and highly absorbent. The former trait may make them suitable for carpeting, also. Currently no Asiatic cotton is produced in the USA and all used in commercially is imported.
