Synthetic Fibers
Polyester Fibers

Polyester fibers are manufactured most abundantly among synthetic fibers. The amount of production is continuing to increase year by year. Polyester fibers have such features as extreme strength, resistance to crease, less moisture absorption, thermoplasticity, and resistance to acid and alkali.
In polyester fibers, both filament yarn and staple fibers are manufactured in nearly equal quantity. Filament yarns are woven or knitted as they are. In addition, they are knitted into jersey or woven into fabrics of textured yarn by combining with other types of filament yarns, twisting yarns and texturing in accordance with the aim of products. The filament yarns are processed into circular, triangular, oval, hollow and other cross-sections. Such processed fibers produce new fabrics of hand and luster not found in natural fibers without deteriorating the properties of polyester fibers. Furthermore, an extremely fine fibers of a tenth or hundredth part of silk fibers are manufactured and used for products of synthetic leather, synthetic suede and fabrics with high fabric count.
The staple fibers are friendly with other types of fibers. They are manufactured into fabrics, by blending with cotton, wool and linen fibers, making the use of each characteristic. The staple fibers are largely used for wadding as they are. By modifying their characteristics, anti-static fibers and flame-retardant fibers are also manufactured.

FEATURES

  1. 1. One of the most strong fibers and no deterioration is remarked even if the fibers are wetted. They exhibit the same characteristic in abrasion. In addition, they are considerably resistant to heat.
  2. 2. Since superior in crease recovery, difficult to de-form the shape
  3. 3. Little deterioration in strength occurs even if polyester fibers are exposed under sun light for a long period of time.
  4. 4. Stability in dimensional change, fast drying, and little wrinkling after laundering due to a little moisture absorption needs little ironing.
  5. 5. Pleats and creases cannot be removed after laundering due to thermo-plasticity.
  6. 6. Resistant to chemicals and non-attackable by insects and molds.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

The redeposition may occur if washed with heavily dirty cloth, or soaked in washing solution for a long period of time The redeposition is a phenomena that clean fibers absorb the dirt resulting in dark hue. When washing clothes of white or light color When washing, avoid washing with other dirty clothes and try to wash for a short period of time.
