Polyester fibers are widely used in the textile industry, as follows:
1. Clothing field:
Daily wear clothing: Polyester fiber is often used to make various types of daily clothing, such as shirts, T-shirts, sportswear, etc. Its crisp and firm characteristics make clothing less prone to deformation and wrinkling, and it has high strength, durability, and is convenient for daily maintenance and washing. The color is firm and not easy to fade. For example, many basic clothing items from fast fashion brands use polyester fiber fabrics, meeting consumers' needs for comfortable, durable, and easy to maintain daily wear.
Functional clothing:
Sports clothing: The high strength and elastic recovery ability of polyester fibers make them suitable for use in sports clothing, which can withstand stretching and friction during exercise and is not easily damaged. And its good breathability and quick drying ability can keep athletes dry and comfortable during exercise, which helps improve their performance. Some professional sports brands use polyester fiber fabrics or their blends with other fibers for their sportswear, running clothes, etc.
Outdoor clothing: The outdoor environment is complex and varied, requiring high performance from clothing. Polyester fiber has good light resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is not afraid of mold and insect infestation and can adapt to various harsh outdoor environments. At the same time, polyester fiber fabrics that have undergone special treatment can also have functions such as waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability. For example, fabrics for outdoor clothing such as assault jackets and mountaineering jackets often contain polyester fiber components.
Cold resistant and warm clothing: Through special textile processes and post-processing techniques, polyester fiber fabrics can have good thermal insulation performance. For example, by making polyester fibers into hollow fibers, the air layer in the middle can effectively block the loss of heat and provide warmth. This type of hollow polyester fiber is commonly used to make the inner lining or filling of winter warm clothing such as cotton jackets and down jackets.
2. In the field of household goods:
Curtains: Polyester fiber curtains have good shading and breathability, which can effectively block direct sunlight and ensure indoor air circulation. And it is not easy to shrink or fade, easy to clean and maintain, and can maintain good appearance and performance even after long-term use. It is a commonly used curtain fabric in home decoration.
Bedding: Bedding such as bed sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, etc. also often use polyester fiber fabrics. Polyester fiber bedding has a soft touch, good wear resistance, is not prone to pilling, and can withstand frequent use and washing. And its price is relatively low, with high cost-effectiveness, suitable for the needs of mass consumers.
Carpet: Polyester fiber carpet has good wear resistance and stain resistance, is not easy to stain, and is easy to clean. At the same time, it has good elasticity and comfortable foot feel, which can add a warm and comfortable atmosphere to the home environment. Polyester fiber carpets occupy a significant market share in carpets used in homes, hotels, offices, and other places.
3. In the field of healthcare:
Medical textiles: can be used to make clothing for medical staff and patients, such as doctor's clothing, nurse's clothing, patient's clothing, etc. These garments need to have good breathability, moisture absorption, and antibacterial properties. Polyester fibers, after special treatment and processing, can meet these requirements and are easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring the safety and hygiene of medical and health environments.
Medical supplies: They are also used in some medical supplies, such as medical bandages, gauze, sutures, etc. Polyester fibers have high strength and toughness, which can meet the mechanical properties requirements of medical products. Meanwhile, it has good biocompatibility and can be safely used on the human body after strict disinfection treatment.
4. In the field of industrial textiles:
Filter material: Polyester fiber can be used to make filter cloth, filter mesh and other filter materials, which are used for liquid filtration, gas filtration, etc. in industrial production. Its fiber structure is compact, with high filtration accuracy, which can effectively filter out impurities and particles, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process and the quality of the product. For example, in the production processes of industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing, polyester fiber filter materials are often used to filter raw materials and products.
Reinforcement material: Due to the high strength and stiffness of polyester fibers, they can be used as reinforcement materials in the preparation of composite materials. In the construction industry, polyester fiber reinforced composite materials can be used to make building templates, bridge reinforcement materials, etc; In the automotive industry, it can be used to manufacture automotive components such as car seats, doors, shells, etc., which can improve the strength and durability of the components.
Safety protection equipment: can be used to make safety protection equipment such as seat belts and airbags. The high strength and toughness of polyester fibers can ensure that seat belts and airbags can effectively protect personnel's safety in the event of accidents.
