Cotton linters is the last residue of the cotton industry.

Basically the cotton linters is the last fibers that involves the seed of the cotton plant. Then the only way to separate both is to cut from the seed in a similar way you cut your hair. For this operation you use special machinery (with shives, sieves, classification, etc.) for a good separation without contamination of fibers and seed, because seed is most valuable than linters.

The operation of cutting linters is called delinting.
