1. It has high strength and elastic recovery ability. So durable, wrinkle-resistant, non-ironing.
2. Poor hygroscopicity, sultry feeling when wearing, easy to bring static electricity and dust, affecting beauty and comfort. However, it is easy to dry after washing, the wet strength hardly decreases, and it does not deform, so it has good washing resistance and wear resistance.
Polyester fabric has the best heat resistance among synthetic fabrics, is thermoplastic, and can be made into pleated skirts with durable pleats. At the same time, the polyester fabric has poor melting resistance, and it is easy to form holes when encountering soot and sparks. Therefore, contact with cigarette butts and sparks should be avoided when wearing.
4. The light fastness of polyester fabric is better than that of acrylic fiber, and its light fastness is better than that of natural fiber fabric, especially behind glass, which is almost equal to acrylic fiber.
5. Polyester fabric has good resistance to various chemicals. Acid and alkali do little harm to it, and it is not afraid of mold and moths.
Disadvantages of polyester fiber:
Compared with natural fibers, polyester fibers have some disadvantages, such as low moisture content, poor air permeability, poor dyeability, easy pilling and pilling, and easy pollution.
Scope of application of polyester fiber fabric:
Polyester fiber fabric has many excellent textile properties and wearability, and is widely used. It can be pure woven or blended with natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk and hemp and other chemical fibers. Made into various colors of wool-like, cotton-like, silk-like, hemp-like fabrics, with good fastness, scratch resistance, easy washing and drying, and good washing resistance. Polyester fabric is suitable for men's and women's shirts, coats, children's clothes, interior decoration fabrics and carpets. Because of their good elasticity and bulkiness, they can also be used as filling cotton. In industry, high-strength polyester can be used as tire cord, conveyor belt, fire hose, cable, fishing net and so on.
