Polyester is by far the fiber with the biggest number of purposes, showing high performance at all levels but with the years, it has probably become the least popular.
Fabrics made of polyester are durable, shrinking-resistant, great performance when it comes to color fastness, to drying and washing, everything because since it is produced in labs the threads are continual unlike natural fibers, which are made from several smaller and split filaments.
Polyester has also a very important plus: it is cheaper and faster to produce. However, with the years and a more concerned perspective on the world’s waste effects, fabrics made of polyester have met several changes. With improved thermic performance, there are now so many finishing types that its handfeel can easily be mistaken with a fabric made with a natural and expensive fiber. It is also responsible for the techno fabrics, with important features when it comes to water and winter proof performance.
The greater new is nowadays, there are many techniques that support the reuse and the recycling of polyester.
