Advantages and Disadvantages of 100% polyester fabrics

1What's the Polyester material

1. Polyester (polyester), which is a synthetic fiber. It is a kind of polyester from organic diacid and diol polycondensation obtained by spinning synthetic fiber, referred to as PET fiber, belongs to polymer compounds. Polyester is also known as terylon, or "Dacron" to Americans. * The advantages of wrinkle resistance and shape retention is very good, with high strength and elastic recovery ability. Its fast durable, wrinkle - resistant, non - perm, non - stick hair.
2. Polyester is also an important industrial material. Factories use polyester as the raw material for production of conveyor belts and filter screens. Factories are concerned about the cost of production, and this low-cost material fits their needs. Polyester will even have applications in defense and military industries.

2Advantages and Disadvantages of Polyester fabric

1, good wear resistance
The abrasion resistance is second only to the abrasion resistance of nylon, better than other natural fibers and synthetic fibers.
2, good light resistance
Light resistance is second only to acrylic fiber.
3, corrosion resistance
Resistant to bleach, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products and inorganic acids, resistant to dilute alkali, not afraid of mildew, but hot alkali can make it decompose.
4. High strength
The strength of short fiber is 2.6 ~ 5.7CN /dtex, and that of high strength fiber is 5.6 ~ 8.0CN /dtex. Because of its low hygroscopicity, its wet strength and dry strength are basically the same. Impact strength is 4 times higher than nylon, 20 times higher than viscose fiber.
5. Good elasticity
The elasticity is close to wool, and can be almost completely recovered when the elongation is 5% ~ 6%. Crease resistance exceeds other fibers, that is, the fabric does not crease, good dimensional stability. The elastic modulus is 22 ~ 141cN/dtex, which is 2 ~ 3 times higher than nylon.
Disadvantages of polyester fabric:
1. Poor staining.
2, polyester surface is smooth, the internal molecules are closely arranged, the lack of hydrophilic structure between molecules, so the moisture return rate is very small, poor hygroscopic performance.
