What is the difference between polyester yarn, acrylic yarn and nylon yarn?

Polyester: Good strength, easy to generate static electricity

Polyester feels like cotton, but the material is very hard, wrinkle-resistant and washable. In terms of output, polyester is the big brother of chemical fiber. When China's early chemical industry was not developed, "really nice" shirts were popular, but they were actually polyester shirts.

All-polyester products lack affinity to the human body. At present, all-polyester fabrics are often used to make blankets and carpets with various touches.

Nylon: Strong and wear-resistant, not easy to generate static electricity

Nylon is a chemical fiber, which is a high-strength and wear-resistant chemical fiber variety.

According to its characteristics, women's tights are used more, usually mixed with spandex (spandex).

The disadvantage is that it is easy to deform under very small external forces, so the fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing; poor ventilation and easy to generate static electricity.

Acrylic: "Wool" in chemical fiber

Acrylic fabric, also known as synthetic wool, is a high-grade fiber in chemical fiber.

Its performance is very similar to that of wool, with good elasticity. When stretched by 20%, the rebound rate can still be maintained at 65%. It is fluffy, curly, soft, and 15% warmer than wool, but the cost is much lower than wool.

Now many wool fabrics are made of acrylic fibers. Acrylic fibers are generally used for knitting sweaters, and can be spun or blended into various wool materials, blankets and sportswear.

Vinylon: "Cotton" in Chemical Fibers

Vinylon, known as "synthetic cotton", is the most hygroscopic variety among synthetic fibers, with a moisture absorption rate of 4.5% to 5%, close to cotton (8%).

Nowadays, popular silk fillers are often vinylon.

Polypropylene: Lightweight and warm, non-hygroscopic

Polypropylene is the lightest fiber among ordinary chemical fibers.

Because it does not absorb moisture, it can be used to make diapers and mosquito nets.

Spandex: Born for elasticity

Spandex, commonly known as Lycra cotton, is a chemical fiber with good elasticity and poor strength.

Spandex is a highly elastic fiber necessary for high-performance clothing that pursues sports and convenience. It is comfortable to wear, soft to the touch, wrinkle-free, and maintains its original contour.

Spandex is widely used in textile fields such as underwear, lingerie, casual wear, sportswear, socks, etc.

Main uses of polyester yarn

Polyester yarn is a synthetic fiber yarn made of polyester fiber with various properties and wide applications.

Clothing fabrics: Polyester yarn is very suitable for making various clothes because of its high strength, good elastic recovery and wrinkle resistance. It can be used to make skirts, pants, windbreakers, down jackets, etc., especially in clothing that needs to be wear-resistant and easy to care for.

Home furnishings: Polyester yarn is also commonly used to make home textiles such as curtains, sofa covers, and sheets, mainly because of its durability and easy-to-clean characteristics.

Industrial use: In the industrial field, polyester yarn can be used to make tire cords, fishing nets, ropes, filter cloths, and insulation materials. Its wear resistance and strength make it an important material for manufacturing industrial textiles.

Safety protection: Flame-retardant polyester yarn is widely used in the manufacture of safety protective clothing, such as firefighter clothing, steelworker clothing, etc., because it can provide additional safety protection, especially in high-risk working environments.

Decorative materials: Since the fabric surface of polyester yarn has excellent optical properties, such as high whiteness and good gloss, it is also used in various decorative materials, such as fabrics used in air jet looms and water jet looms.

Functional fabrics: By performing various post-treatments on polyester yarn, such as bleaching, dyeing, waterproofing, and antistatic treatment, its functionality can be enhanced to have better performance in specific environments, such as in protective clothing and outdoor products.

Sinrylion polyester yarn manufacturers occupy an important position in textiles and industrial uses due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and diversified processing methods, meeting the needs of modern society for clothing and industrial materials.
