Polyester

  • Components
    Polyester is a category of polymers, or, more specifically condensation polymers, which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Usually, polyester refers to cloth woven from polyester fiber.
  • Properties
    Polyester is the material that has low absorbency. It is combustible but due to its thermoplastic nature, it tends to shrink away from the flame source and often self-extinguishes.
  • Hygiene And Maintenance
    Polyester may be hand-washed in tepid water with the addition of gentle detergent. It can be ironed at low temperatures, stands up to abrasion and wears well.
