Characteristics and varieties of polyester fiber fabric
(1) Characteristics of polyester fiber fabric
Polyester fabric is a chemical fiber clothing fabric that is widely used in daily life. Its biggest advantage is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, so it is suitable for outerwear. Generally, polyester fabrics have the following characteristics:
1. Polyester fabric has high strength and elastic recovery capabilities. Therefore, it is durable, wrinkle-resistant and requires no ironing.
2. Polyester fabric has poor hygroscopicity and feels stuffy when worn. It is also easily charged with static electricity and contaminated with dust, affecting its appearance and comfort. However, it dries very easily after washing, has almost no drop in wet strength, does not deform, and has good washable and wearable properties.
3. Polyester is a fabric with the best heat resistance among synthetic fabrics. It is thermoplastic and can be made into pleated skirts with long-lasting pleats. At the same time, polyester fabric has poor melt resistance and can easily form holes when exposed to soot, sparks, etc. Therefore, you should try to avoid contact with cigarette butts, sparks, etc. when wearing it.
4. Polyester fabrics have better light resistance. In addition to being worse than acrylic fibers, their light resistance is better than natural fiber fabrics. Especially the light fastness behind glass is very good, almost as good as acrylic.
5. Polyester fabrics have good resistance to various chemicals. Acids and alkali are not very damaging to it, and they are not afraid of mold or insects.
(2) Varieties of polyester fiber fabrics
There are many types of polyester fiber fabrics. In addition to pure polyester fabrics, there are also many products that are blended or interwoven with various textile fibers. It makes up for the shortcomings of pure polyester fabric and exerts better wearing performance. At present, polyester fabrics are developing in the direction of natural synthetic fibers such as wool-like, silk-like, linen-like, and deerskin-like fabrics.

In order to overcome this shortcoming, more new polyester fabrics have been introduced, such as highly hygroscopic polyester fabrics.
2. Polyester wool-like fabrics are made from polyester filaments such as polyester stretch yarn, polyester network yarn or polyester yarn with various special-shaped cross-sections, or are blended into yarn from medium-length polyester short fiber and medium-length viscose or medium-length acrylic fiber.
