Xiao Ku will take you on the road to the Great God, and today I will introduce you to the donkey - Dacron.
Polyester is also known as Terrellon, and Americans also call it "Daklun." Polyester in China in the early 1990s had a resounding name in China, called "Dacron." At the time it was all over the streets and was definitely a household name. Today, as more and more polyesters are used in various types of outdoor products, there is also a high-end atmosphere called "polyester fibers." The reason why he said his best shot is because its use is too wide.
Polyester is actually the simplest process among the three major synthetic fibers, and the price is relatively cheap. However, the low cost does not affect its excellent characteristics of durability, good elasticity, resistance to deformation, corrosion resistance, insulation, crispness, easy washing and quick drying. We briefly introduce some features that are more common in equipment
1. high strength. Due to its low hygroscopicity, its wet strength and dry strength are essentially the same. Impact strength is 4 times higher than nylon and 20 times higher than viscose. Therefore, it is used in equipment accessories that require a certain strength such as many webbings.
2. Good elasticity. When the elongation is 5% to 6%, it is almost completely recovered. The wrinkle resistance is superior to other fibers, ie, the fabric does not wrinkle and has good dimensional stability. Therefore, it is durable, anti-wrinkle and non-ironing. Due to this property, polyester is often blended with other fabrics to make many garments.
3. Good wear resistance. Abrasion resistance is second only to nylon with the best abrasion resistance, and it is better than other natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Because of the wear-resisting characteristics, it is often used with fabrics made of nylon, etc., blended into tent lights.
4. preservative. Resistant to bleaches, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products and inorganic acids. Resistant to alkali, not afraid of mildew, but hot alkali can make it decompose. There is also a strong acid and alkaline resistance, UV resistance. This is why many skin garments do not use blends but use 100% polyester fabrics.
5. Hygroscopicity is poor, but it is extremely easy to dry, and the wet strength is hardly reduced and it is not deformed. Fast dry, needless to say, all kinds of quick-drying underwear, many are 100% polyester fabrics, well, the tag is indeed written on 100% polyester fiber, they may be just rigorous.
