We usually wear clothes and find that some clothes are more prone to static electricity, while some clothes are not so obvious. So, what kind of fabric is polyester? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Next, the editor will explain why polyester fabrics generate static electricity.
What kind of fabric is polyester? Polyester fabric is a kind of chemical fiber clothing fabric that is widely used in daily life. Its advantages are that it has good wrinkle resistance and retention, so it is suitable for outdoor products such as clothing jackets, various bags, handbags, and tents. The cause of static electricity generated by polyester fabrics Static electricity on clothes is caused by the fabrics that do not absorb moisture and are too dry. Because chemical fiber fabrics are not hygroscopic, after friction generates static electricity, it cannot be conducted and dispersed into the space, so static electricity will accumulate.
Many people think that clothes made of cotton fabrics will not generate static electricity, but in fact there will be slight static electricity. Chemical fibers such as non-hygroscopic materials, after friction generates static electricity, because there is no water molecule film to conduct electricity, and the static electricity accumulates, we feel its existence, so we say that chemical fibers are prone to static electricity.
Common chemical fiber fabrics are polyester, in addition, nylon, acrylic, spandex, cotton-like, down cotton, etc. are also chemical fiber fabrics. Advantages and disadvantages of polyester fabrics
1. The advantage of pure cotton fabric is that it is soft and comfortable to wear, and has very good air and moisture permeability. The disadvantage is that it is easier to deform (shrink) and fade. But now with the development of textile dyeing and functional finishing, they have basically been resolved.
2. The pure polyester fabric has poor moisture absorption due to its raw material polyester, so its air and moisture permeability performance is very poor, but its shape retention performance is very good.
3. The biggest advantage of nylon fabric is that it has very good abrasion resistance.
