Polyester is a versatile polymer characterized by its water absorbency, resistance to chemicals, and quick drying properties, making it popular in sports clothing and everyday fabrics. It can be natural or synthetic, with synthetic versions being predominantly non-biodegradable, used widely in textiles and various industrial applications. The material is also recyclable and has multiple engineered variations for specialized uses, such as high durability for outdoor gear and aesthetic features for fashion apparel.
Polyester & uses of polyester

- 2. Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Polyester fiber is an economical product with water absorbency, wind resistance, water repellence, and quick dry function. Relatively short fiber and nylon products are particularly good at eliminating sweat, making it an excellent choice for sports clothing Although there are many polyesters, the term "polyester" as a specific material most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
- 3. Depending on the chemical structure, polyester can be a thermoplastic or thermosets. However, the most common polyesters are thermoplastics. According to procedure of polyester, there are two types. Natural Polyester Synthetic Polyester Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not.
- 4. For the synthetic polyesters, a di-carboxyilic acid reacts with an alcohol (di- alcohol) and makes polyester.
- 8. Strong Resistant to stretching and shrinking Resistant to most chemicals Quick drying Crisp and resilient when wet or dry Wrinkle resistant Mildew resistant Abrasion resistant Retains heat-set pleats and crease Easily washed
- 9. Due to many reasons polyester is one of a useful fiber &fabric all over the world. People over the world use polyester cloths. Some of its importance reasons are: Comfortable Lustrous Cheap Usable for any purpose Recyclable Not harmful for body Wrinkle resistant

- 11. POLYESTER RESIN Polyester resins are used in sheet moulding compound, bulk moulding compound and the toner of laser printers. Wall panels fabricated from polyester resins reinforced with fiberglass — so-called fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) — are typically used in restaurants, kitchens, restrooms and other areas that require washable low-maintenance walls.
- 13. Ever QuickDry / UV Cut/Anti Chlorine This type of fabric absorbs moisture and is sweat conductive, making it suitable for making sports jerseys and shorts; anti-UV fabric allows the wearer to relax even on hot sunny days; anti chlorine fabric also removes the need for concern for color migration when playing on the beach.

- 16. Ever Wind Proof This fabric uses a highly concentrated weave to prevent the down penetrating the material. In terms of texture it is light and soft to the touch with and refined exterior, making it the perfect choice for down clothing. Ever Suiting Together with mixed fabric with carbon fiber this group of products is wind and water resistant. They also repel water, dehumidify and add to that far infra-red heat retention and ion health elements and its special feel make this fabric suited for the production of trousers or a set of clothes.
- 17. Ever Acetate Using special acetate compound features the fabric is highly elastic when dry, highly stable, does not shrink much when washed and naturally anti-static. Ever Acetate has a richly colorful and extravagant exterior, making it suitable for high-class dinner attire. It could be characterized as a newly extravagant product full of nobility and refinement.
- 19. Ever Recycle This fabric is 100% recyclable, materials are from used polyester bottles and old clothes or fabrics.

Some uses of hydrophobic nature of polyesters are: Climbing suits Parkas Sleeping bags Dry suits Other outdoor gear
- 28. Creating insulation: By creating hollow fibers it is also possible to build insulation into the polyester fiber. Air is trapped inside the fiber, which is then warmed by the heat of the body. This keeps the body warm in cold weather. Another method to build insulation is to use crimped polyester in a fiberfill. The crimp helps keep the warm air in. Polyester is an ideal fabric for this kind of insulation because it retains its shape. Cotton and wool tend to flatten over a period of time and loose the warming effect.
- 29. Wrinkle resistant: using the nature of wrinkle resistant, it is used very often in everyday clothing like pants, shirts, tops, skirts and suits. Used either by itself or as a blend, it is also stain resistant and hence very popular.
