Polyester fabrics or nylon fabrics, which is best for you?

Are polyester and nylon fabrics easy to wear? Polyester fabric is a chemical fiber garment fabric used in diurnal life. Its greatest advantage is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, making it suitable for outdoor wear. Nylon fabric is known for its excellent abrasion resistance. It isn’t only the stylish choice for down jackets and climbing apparel, but also is frequently amalgamated with other fibers to ameliorate the strength and fastness of the fabric. The editor substantially introduces the properties of polyester and nylon fabrics, so that everyone can have a full understanding of these two materials and make a better choice for your apparel.

Features of polyester fabric

1, Polyester fabric has high strength and resilience, which makes it durable, wrinkle-resistant and non-ironing.

2, Polyester fabric has low moisture absorption, it has a sense of stuffy when worn, and is easy to be charged with stationary electricity and dirt, which affects its appearance and comfort. However, it’s easy to dry after washing, and the moisture resistance hardly falls off, doesn’t distort, and has good washing and wearing properties.

3, Polyester is the best heat-resistant fabric among synthetic fabrics. It’s thermoplastic and can be used to make pleated skirts with permanent pleats. In the meantime, polyester fabrics have poor melting resistance and are easy to forming holes in the presence of soot and sparks. Thus, try to avoid contact with cigarette butts, sparks, etc. when you wear it.

4, Polyester fabric has good light fastness. In addition to being inferior than acrylic, its light fastness is better than natural fiber fabrics. In particular the light fastness behind the glass is veritably good, nearly on par with acrylic fiber.

5, Polyester fabric has good resistance to multifarious chemicals. Acids and alkalis don’t harm it to a great extent. In the meantime, it isn’t afraid of molds and insects.

Features of nylon fabric

1, The wear resistance of nylon fabric ranks first among all kinds of fabrics, numerous times advanced than other fiber fabrics of analogous products, so its continuity is extremely good.

2, The moisture absorption of nylon fabric is great among synthetic fiber fabrics, so nylon  clothes are more comfortable to wear than polyester clothes.

3, Nylon fabric is a lightweight fabric, listed only after polypropylene and acrylic fabrics in synthetic fiber fabrics. Thus, it’s suitable for the production of mountaineering and winter apparel.

4, Nylon fabric has great elastic and elastic recovery, but it’s easy to distort by a small external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing.

5, Nylon fabrics have poor heat and light resistance, so when wearing and using, you should pay attention to the washing and care conditions, so as not to damage the fabric
