Polyester fiber is a synthetic fiber made of polyester. It is a fiber made by spinning polyester polymer. The following are the characteristics of polyester fiber:
1. High strength: Polyester fiber has high strength, is relatively wear-resistant and durable.
2. Good elasticity: Polyester fiber has good elasticity, is not easy to deform, and can maintain the shape of clothing.
3. Good wrinkle resistance: Polyester fiber has good wrinkle resistance, is not easy to wrinkle, and can be worn neatly.
4. Poor hygroscopicity: Since polyester fiber itself does not absorb water, its hygroscopicity is relatively poor and it is easy to generate static electricity.
5. Good quick-drying properties: Polyester fiber has good quick-drying properties and is suitable for making sportswear and other clothing that require quick moisture removal.
6. Strong light resistance: Polyester fiber can better resist sunlight exposure and ultraviolet radiation, and is not easy to fade.
7. Easy to dye: Polyester fiber is easy to dye, and the color is full and long-lasting.
8. Strong corrosion resistance: Polyester fiber has good corrosion resistance to general chemicals and corrosive substances.
9. Poor air permeability: Compared with natural fibers such as cotton and linen, polyester fiber has poor air permeability and is prone to stuffiness.
10. Easy to maintain: Polyester fiber has good wrinkle resistance and washability, and is easy to clean and maintain.
In general, polyester fiber fabrics are widely used in clothing, home furnishings and other fields because of their durability, anti-wrinkle, quick-drying and other properties. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to its poor breathability and easy generation of static electricity, which need to be considered when selecting and wearing.
