There are different types of clothing fabrics used in daily life. Polyester fabrics are the most commonly used ones. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of polyester fabrics?
1. The advantages of polyester fabrics are firm and durable, wrinkle-resistant and iron-free, non-deformation, strong thermoplastic, not afraid of mold, and not afraid of insects. The disadvantage is that it has poor hygroscopicity, and it feels stuffy when wearing it in summer. At the same time, it is easy to carry static electricity in winter, which affects comfort.
2. The elasticity of polyester fabric is super strong. The elasticity is close to that of wool. When the elongation is 5% to 6%, it can be almost completely recovered. The polyester fabric can be quickly restored to its original shape by repeatedly rubbing it without leaving wrinkles. The elastic modulus is 22 to 141cN/dtex. Nylon is 2 to 3 times higher, which is unmatched by other fabrics. Polyester fabric has good heat resistance and strong plasticity.
3. The biggest advantage of polyester fabric is that it is not easy to deform and wrinkle. It is more suitable for sofas, dining chairs and other places in the home. The surface of the fabric is smooth, the luster is strong, the breaking strength is high, and the air permeability is good. It is often used as summer fabric.
4. Polyester fabric has poor hygroscopicity. Poor dyeability, because there is no specific dyeing gene on the polyester molecular chain, and the polarity is small, so dyeing is difficult, easy to dye, and the dye molecules are not easy to enter the fiber, but the color fastness after dyeing is very good, not easy to fade .
5. Polyester fabric is a kind of chemical fiber clothing fabric that is widely used in daily life. The main varieties of polyester are staple fiber, drawn yarn, textured yarn, decorative filament, industrial filament and various differentiated fibers. The development of polyester fabrics with high moisture absorption, perspiration, and quick-drying is of great significance to the improvement of clothing wearing comfort, and is very suitable for high-level sportswear, tooling under high temperature and high humidity conditions, outdoor clothing, underwear and other fields.
