Polyester and nylon are two common synthetic fibers, which are widely used in the fabric field. Although they are all synthetic fibers, there are some differences in characteristics and use. The similarities and differences between polyester and nylon fabrics are described below.
1. Definition:
Polyester is a type of polyester fiber, which is made of polypholic glycolic glycol , With excellent physical properties and chemical stability. Nylon is a type of polyamide fiber, which is made of polycinamide, which has high strength and abrasion resistance.
2. Feature comparison:
-strength and durability: nylon fabric is more powerful and durable than polyester fabric. Nylon fiber has high tear resistance and abrasion resistance, so it is more suitable for making durable fabrics, such as outdoor sports equipment, suitcases, etc.
-Elasticity and rebound elasticity: Polyester fabrics have high elasticity and rebound elasticity, which can better maintain the shape of the clothing. The nylon fabrics are relatively rarely possessed.
-humidity and breathability: The hygroscopic and breathability of polyester fabrics can help evaporate the moisture in the body. In contrast, the hygroscopic and breathability of nylon fabrics are worse, which is more likely to make people feel sultry.
-Lishness and feel: Polyester fabrics usually have good gloss and soft feel, and it is more suitable for making clothing that requires gloss or softness. Nylon fabric often has high gloss and smooth feel, which is more suitable for making shiny fabrics.
-The heat resistance: Polyester has good heat resistance, and it can still maintain better physical properties at high temperatures, suitable for making high temperature-resistant clothing and home supplies. Lylon has poor heat resistance and is easy to lose shape at high temperatures.
-dye nature: polyester fabric is relatively easier to dye, the color is more stable, and it is not easy to fade. Nylon fabrics have higher requirements for dyeing, and professional dyeing technology is required.
3. Application field:
Due to differences in performance and characteristics, polyester and nylon fabrics have different applications in different fields:
-Polyester fabrics are often used to make sportswear, casual clothes, underwear, bedding, etc., because polyester has the characteristics of soft, breathable and comfortable.
-Initition fabrics are often used in outdoor sports equipment, swimsuits, knitted products, etc. Because nylon has high strength and wear resistance, it can provide good waterproof performance and durability.
In summary, there are certain differences in strength, softness, hygroscopicness, gloss and other aspects of polyester and nylon fabrics. What kind of fabric should be determined according to the environment, comfort, aesthetics and expected use requirements.
