Definition
The name "polyester" refers to the linkage of
several monomers (esters) within the fiber. Esters
are formed when alcohol reacts with a carboxylic
acid.

Polyester fiber is a " manufactured fiber in which


the fiber forming substance is any long chain
synthetic polymer composed at least 85% by weight
of an ester of a dihydric alcohol (HOROH) and
terephthalic acid (p-HOOC-C6H4COOH).

Chemical properties
Acids: Good resistance to acids in cold condition. But
polyester degrades by H2SO4 at high temperature.
Basic: Good resistance to basic in cold condition but Strong
NaOH dissolves polyester in boiling.
Effect of bleaching: Polyester does not affected by bleaching
process.
Organic solvent: Organic solvent does not affect on polyester
fiber.
Protection ability against mildew: Good
Protection ability against insects: Good
Dyes: Polyester could be dye with disperse, azoic color and
some pigments.
Demand For Polyester
ADVANTAGES
Relatively inexpensive
Easy to process
More durable
Easy wash & care
Recyclable
Attractive & bright
Abrasion resistance is high
Excellent wet strength
Light-weight
DIS -ADVANTAGES
Pilling's can be found
Less natural feel
Not environmentally friendly
Low thermal resistance
Non-biodegradable material
Hydrophobic property is also a disadvantages as it
doesnt absorb sweat like natural fibers
Uses
