Characteristics, advantages, and uses of polyester fabrics

Update:Apr.21 2023
Characteristics of Polyester Fabric
1. The elasticity of polyester fabric is super good. After repeatedly rubbing the polyester fabric, it can quickly restore its original shape and is not easy to leave wrinkles. This is an advantage that other fabrics do not have. From this perspective, clothes made of polyester fabric are durable, wrinkle resistant, and iron-free, and polyester is indeed a rare outerwear material.
2. Polyester fabric has poor moisture absorption. So clothes made of polyester fabric do not absorb much sweat, and they feel a bit stuffy when worn. They are also prone to static electricity and dust. However, at this point, clothes made of polyester fabric are less prone to deformation and drying after washing.
3. The heat resistance of polyester can be said to be the best among chemical fiber fabrics, with strong plasticity. If it is made into a pleated skirt, it can maintain pleats well without excessive ironing. When wearing polyester fabric clothing, it is important to pay attention because it has poor melting resistance and is prone to burning holes when encountering sparks.
4. Polyester fabric has excellent light resistance. Generally, it is relatively sun resistant, and there is basically no problem when exposed to the sun. There is no need to worry about sun damage or other side effects. This is comparable to acrylic fiber.
5. Polyester fabric has strong chemical resistance. So clothes made of polyester fabric have strong resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. Bleach and oxidants have little effect on this type of fabric. Polyester clothes are not afraid of mold or insect damage. This is also one of its advantages. However, this feature also makes dyeing polyester fabrics very difficult, and once the dyeing is successful, it will not easily fade.
Advantages of Polyester Fabric
1. Polyester fabric has high strength. The strength of short fibers is 2.6-5.7cN/dtex, and that of high strength fibers is 5.6-8.0cN/dtex. Due to its low moisture absorption, its wet and dry strength are basically the same, with an impact strength four times higher than nylon and 20 times higher than viscose fibers.
2. The elasticity of polyester fabric is super strong. The elasticity is close to that of wool, and when stretched by 5-6%, it can almost completely recover. By repeatedly rubbing the polyester fabric, it can quickly restore its original shape without leaving wrinkles. The elasticity modulus is 22-141cN/dtex, which is 2-3 times higher than nylon, which is unmatched by other fabrics.
3. Polyester fabric has good heat resistance. It can be said that polyester has the best heat resistance and strong plasticity in chemical fiber fabrics. If made into a pleated skirt, it can maintain pleats well without excessive ironing.
4. Polyester fabric has good light resistance. Items made of polyester fabric are usually more resistant to the sun than natural fiber fabrics. It is basically no problem to expose items made of polyester fabric in the sun. There is no need to worry about any side effects. This feature makes the light resistance of polyester fabric almost comparable to that of acrylic fabric.
5. Polyester fabric has good wear resistance. The abrasion resistance is only inferior to nylon with the best abrasion resistance, which is better than other natural fiber and synthetic fibers.
6. Polyester fabric has good chemical resistance. Textiles made of polyester fabric have little damage from acids and alkalis, so some bleaches and oxidants have no effect on them. Moreover, polyester textiles are not afraid of mold or insects.
7. The fabric has high strength and is durable and durable; Colorful and long-lasting; Smooth hand feel, firm and elastic, not suitable for taking shape, anti crease and anti shrink; Easy to wash and dry, no need to iron; Acid and alkali resistant, not suitable for corrosion.
The Use of Polyester Fabric
In terms of characteristics, polyester fabric has high strength and elastic recovery, making it more suitable for making clothing products; And the light resistance of polyester is not poor, so many manufacturers have also made polyester fabrics into curtains, especially polyester fabrics have a better light resistance after glass than acrylic fibers.
Of course, polyester has more than just these characteristics. Polyester fabrics have poor moisture absorption, a stuffy feeling when worn, and are prone to static electricity and dust, which affects aesthetics and comfort. However, after washing, it is extremely easy to dry, and the wet strength hardly decreases, without deformation, with good washability and wearability. Polyester fabric has good resistance to various chemicals. Acids and alkalis do not cause significant damage to it, and they are not afraid of mold or insect infestation. Therefore, polyester can also be used as sofa fabric and is not easily deformed.
No matter what use polyester fabric is used for, there are no external characteristics of polyester fabric. Of course, manufacturers will also consider the cost of producing polyester products, whether it is reasonable for clothing or profitable for home decoration. And we live in this current society just to earn more money. Therefore, if polyester fabric is used for home decoration without a market and cannot generate profits for manufacturers, then there is no need to make polyester fabric into home decoration products.
