Polyester is a fiber-forming high polymer obtained from polyethylene terephthalate or dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol through esterification or transesterification and polycondensation reaction - polyethylene terephthalate Esters, fibers made by spinning and post-processing.
Polyester is also called Trilon, and Americans also call it "Daclon". When it appeared in the Hong Kong market, people translated it as "really cool" or "really good" according to Cantonese [cool, good Cantonese homonym], meaning "really cool", which made the name well-known.
Polyester is widely used in the manufacture of clothing and industrial products. Flame retardant polyesters have a wide range of applications due to their permanent flame retardancy. It plays an irreplaceable role in industrial textiles, upholstery and interior decoration. It also plays a role in the field of protective clothing.
As a polymer material, polyester has the characteristics of high strength, super elasticity, good heat resistance, good light resistance, and good wear resistance. But at the same time, clothes made of polyester have poor air permeability, poor moisture absorption, and are more stuffy to wear. In dry seasons, it is easy to generate static electricity and absorb dust; polyester fabrics are easy to pilling at the friction point, and once pilling, it is difficult to fall off again.
