Polyester is a kind of synthetic fiber, which is the raw material of chemical fiber fabrics. He is not a fabric itself. Polyester is the former name, the scientific name is polyester. The whole process of polyethylene terephthalate is the trade name of polyester fiber. Nylon is nylon, called Nylon, polyester amine fiber. The advantages are high strength, high wear resistance, high pitting bloodiness, good deformation resistance and aging resistance, and the disadvantage is that the hand feels hard.
1. Sensory differences
The gloss of the fabric is brighter, the feel is smoother is nylon; the appearance of the fabric is darker than nylon, and the rougher is polyester.
2. Combustion
The simplest difference between nylon and polyester is the burning method! Polyester emits black smoke while burning, nylon emits white smoke, and the other is to see the residue after burning. The polyester will break when it is pinched, and the nylon will become plastic! The price always says that nylon is twice the polyester.
3. Shaving with nails
In addition, you can use nail scraping. After the nail is scraped, the obvious trace is polyester, the trace is not obvious is nylon, but this method is not as intuitive as the first method.
Which is better, nylon or polyester?
Nylon generally has better elasticity! Dyeing temperature is only 100 degrees, dyed with neutral or acid dyes, high temperature resistance is worse than polyester, but the strength will be better than nylon, anti-pilling, and the color of fire smoke is white. The polyester was burning with a black smoke, and the black ash would float with it. The dyeing temperature is 130 degrees (high temperature and high pressure), and the hot melt method is generally baked below 200 degrees. The main feature of polyester is good stability. The addition of a small amount of polyester in general clothes can help anti-wrinkle and shape. The disadvantage is that it is easy to produce static electricity and fluff. The current polyester has been improved through improved shortcomings.
