The polyester fabric is not that bad. Because polyester fabric has high strength and elasticity, is durable, wrinkle-resistant, does not require ironing, and has excellent light resistance. In addition, polyester fiber has good resistance to various chemicals, is less damaged by acids and alkalis, and is not afraid of mildew or insects. However, polyester fiber fabric has poor hygroscopicity, not strong water absorption, poor melt resistance, and easily absorbs dust; its air permeability is poor and it is not easy to breathe. In addition, polyester fiber has poor dyeing properties and needs to be dyed with disperse dyes at high temperatures, which is troublesome.
What are the advantages of polyester fiber fabric
1. Good elasticity and no deformation. This is also the biggest advantage of polyester fiber fabrics. Because the fiber materials used in polyester fabrics have very good recovery capabilities from deformations such as elongation, compression, and bending, which can be said to be very close to wool. And because the fiber macromolecular chain is relatively rigid, its elastic modulus is relatively high and will not deform. Therefore, wrinkles will not be found on polyester fabrics after washing, and they are very suitable for use on curtains.
2. It has light-shielding properties but good light transmittance. Although this is very contradictory, it also reflects the advantages of polyester fiber fabrics. For example, the curtains we use polyester fabric can indeed block the sun, but they still have a certain degree of light transmittance and have a good ventilation effect. According to reports, polyester fabrics can effectively eliminate 86% of solar radiation. If you use curtains made of polyester fiber fabric, you can also clearly see the situation outside the house through the curtains, and the field of vision is wider.
3. The thermal insulation performance of polyester fiber fabric is also very good. It can be said that the thermal insulation performance of many fiber fabrics is actually not as good as that of polyester fiber. Therefore, it is very good to use polyester fiber fabrics for some indoor rooms that require thermal insulation. For example, when using air conditioning in the summer, if you install curtains made of polyester fiber fabric at home, you can actually reduce the frequency of air conditioning use. It can also prevent heat loss in winter.
4. Polyester fiber fabric has fire-proof and moisture-proof properties. Polyester fiber fabric has a very good feature, which is flame retardant properties. For example, after burning polyester fiber fabric, it will leave an internal skeleton, that is, its internal fibers, which have a certain degree of flame retardancy. This is very advantageous when compared with materials made of cotton, linen or animal fur at home. It is a very good material to use in our homes. In addition, polyester fiber fabric has good moisture-proof properties. There will be no mold or bacteria growing on it, and it is very convenient to clean after it gets dirty.
