What are the special features of polyester fiber compared to ordinary fiber
source：www.kingcharmgroup.com | Release time：2026-06-091、 Core unique advantages
1. High strength, wear-resistant and tensile (far exceeding natural fibers)
The dry and wet strength remains almost unchanged, and it is not easy to break or break when washed or pulled; The wear resistance is twice that of cotton and three times that of adhesive.
Made into clothing, bags, carpets, and filter cloth, durable and long-lasting.
2. Almost no shrinkage and extremely strong dimensional stability
Natural cotton and washed adhesive are prone to shrinkage and deformation when exposed to water; Polyester fibers are fixed in size after heat setting, and have almost zero shrinkage after washing. Clothes do not collapse or deform after washing, and the pattern is durable.
3. Anti wrinkle and wrinkle free, with good rebound
Wrinkles can be easily restored by gentle pulling, and after washing, they can be dried and leveled without ironing; Cotton and wool are prone to wrinkling and require ironing and maintenance.
It is widely used as a non ironing fabric for workwear, shirts, suits, and curtains.
4. Quick drying hydrophobic, non absorbent
Water molecules are difficult to penetrate the structure of polyester molecules, resulting in low moisture regain; After soaking, the moisture only adheres to the surface, and the drying speed under ventilation is 2-3 times that of cotton.
The main raw material for the lining of sports speed drying clothes, rain jackets, and outdoor assault jackets.
5. Mold and insect proof, durable for storage
Not susceptible to insect infestations like wool, and not prone to long-term dampness and mold like cotton or viscose; Storage, outdoor tents, mattress filling, and curtains are not easily damaged when placed for a long time.
6. Acid and alkali resistance, chemical corrosion resistance
Not afraid of weak acid-base detergents and bleach; Cotton is easily brittle when exposed to concentrated alkali, while wool is directly damaged when exposed to acid or alkali. Industrial filter cloth and protective clothing are commonly used.
7. Heat setting and strong plasticity
Under high temperature, it can be shaped and fixed, and can be made into high elasticity silk, low elasticity silk, hollow insulation fiber, and horizontal striped fabric; It can also be coated with composite waterproof and antibacterial coatings, with a large room for modification.
8. Lightweight, fluffy and warm (hollow version)
Hollow polyester fibers contain air inside, making them much lighter than wool and cotton in terms of insulation and weight; Core, down jacket, cotton jacket filling mainstream, lightweight and not too heavy on the body.
2、 Polyester fiber short board (compared to natural ordinary fiber)
1. Poor breathability and moisture absorption
It does not absorb water itself, and pure polyester is close to the body and prone to sweating; It is usually blended with cotton and viscose to improve breathability. Cotton and adhesive have a natural advantage of being moisture absorbing and skin friendly.
2. Easy to generate static electricity and stick to hair
Friction in a dry environment generates static electricity, which adsorbs dust and hair; Cotton and wool have much weaker static electricity.
3. High temperature melting and shrinkage
Ironing at high temperatures and near open flames will soften and melt, while wool and cotton will carbonize and burn without melting.
4. Skin friendly texture is not as good as natural fibers
Pure polyester has a smooth and hard touch, while most clothing is blended with cotton/viscose to enhance softness.
3、 Visual comparison with several common ordinary fibers
1. Compare cotton fibers
Polyester: wear-resistant, non shrinking, non scalding, quick drying, and durable; Disadvantages: heavy sweating and high static electricity
Cotton: moisture absorbing, skin friendly, breathable, and anti-static; Easy to wrinkle, shrink after washing, not durable to wear, and prone to mold when damp
2. Compare adhesive (human cotton)
Polyester: high strength, stable size, quick drying without collapsing; The wet strength of the adhesive drops sharply, and it is prone to softening and deformation when washed with water
Adhesive: Soft and moisture absorbing, with a hand feel similar to cotton, low cost, but much poorer durability
3. Compare wool
Polyester hollow fiber provides warmth similar to wool, with a lower price and no insect damage, making it easy to maintain; Wool is skin friendly, breathable, moisture absorbing, and temperature regulating, with complicated maintenance and expensive prices
4、 The unique extensibility of specially modified polyester
There are also special modified versions on the industrial end that ordinary fibers cannot achieve:
Flame retardant polyester: added with flame retardant masterbatch, not easy to spread open flames, suitable for firefighting fixtures and curtains;
Antibacterial and UV resistant polyester: functional particles are implanted during the spinning stage for long-lasting antibacterial and sun protection;
High elasticity polyester: a substitute for spandex, with long-lasting stretch and rebound, serving as a base and fitness fabric;
Degradable polyester (PLA/PBAT): Biodegradable, environmentally friendly disposable non-woven fabric, packaging material.
