Clothing made of polyester fabrics has been favored by more and more people, but is polyester fabric good or not, and what are its advantages and disadvantages? 

Such problems can still make many people confused. Today, I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of polyester fabrics for everyone, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of polyester fabrics.

Advantages of polyester fabric

1. Polyester is a high-strength fiber. The strength of short fibers is between 2.6 and 5.7cN/dtex, and the strength of high-strength fibers is between 5.6 and 8.0cN/dtex. How high is the strength? Simply put, it will be about 20 times higher than viscose fiber.
2. Super elasticity is another advantage of polyester fabrics. The elasticity is comparable to that of wool. Polyester can be restored quickly after being folded or kneaded without leaving any wrinkles. Very few fabrics have such high elasticity.
3. The heat resistance of polyester is the best among chemical fiber fabrics, and it also has good plasticity. It is suitable for the production of pleated skirts and can keep pleats well without excessive ironing.
4. The light fastness is not bad, and the light fastness exceeds that of natural fibers. The high light fastness makes polyester fabrics can be exposed to sunlight.
5. The chemical properties are stable, and it is not easy to be corroded by acid or alkali. If the clothes are dirty, they can be cleaned with bleach. Even in a humid environment, polyester fabrics are not easy to mildew.

Disadvantages of polyester fabric

1. Polyester fabrics are not easy to dye, which brings some troubles to fabric dyeing manufacturers.
2. The solvent resistance is poor, and it is easy to break holes when it is sprayed with soot, sparks and other substances, so try to avoid activities in such occasions.
3. Because of poor hygroscopicity, polyester clothes are usually stuffy to wear.
4. Polyester is a synthetic fiber, and synthetic fibers cannot avoid the problem of pilling.
