Polyester fiber, commonly known as "polyester". It is a synthetic fiber obtained by spinning a polyester obtained by polycondensation of an organic dibasic acid and a glycol, and is referred to as a PET fiber, and is a polymer compound. The biggest advantage of polyester fiber is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and has high strength and elastic recovery ability.
Application:
Polyester fibers have high strength, high modulus, and low water absorption, and are widely used as both civil and industrial fabrics.
Performance:
1. Thermal performance. The softening point T is 230-240 ° C, the melting point Tm is 255-265 ° C, and the decomposition point T is about 300 ° C.
2. Lightfastness. Its light resistance is second only to acrylic. After 60 hours of sunlight exposure, the strength lost only 60%, which is close to cotton.
3. Electrical performance. Polyester is low in moisture permeability, so its conductivity is poor. The dielectric constant in the range of -100 to +160 °C is 3.0 to 3.8, which is an excellent insulator.
