The fabric woven from ordinary polyester filament has the advantages of good strength, smoothness and stiffness, easy washing and quick-drying, etc., but it also has the advantages of hard hand, poor touch, soft luster, poor air permeability, and poor moisture absorption. shortcoming.
The performance of the polyester fabric is affected by the characteristics of polyester itself. Now let's take a look at the characteristics of polyester:
1. Detergent and washing powder with an ordinary dosage below 100 ℃ has no effect on polyester;
2. The molecular chain is easy to keep linear, so the crystallinity and orientation of polyester are high;
3. Has high strength and elastic recovery ability, firm and durable, wrinkle-resistant and iron-free;
4. High strength, impact resistance is 4 times higher than nylon, 20 times higher than viscose fiber;
5. The melting point is relatively high, while the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity are small, so the heat resistance and thermal insulation of polyester fiber are high;
6. Good abrasion resistance, second only to nylon with the best abrasion resistance, better than other natural fibers and synthetic fibers;
7. Good light fastness, second only to acrylic fiber, and its light fastness is better than that of natural fiber fabrics;
8. Corrosion resistance, resistant to bleach, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products, and inorganic acids. Dilute alkali resistance, not afraid of mildew, but hot alkali can make it decompose. It also has strong anti-acid and alkali resistance and anti-ultraviolet ability.
