by : Rahul Sharma
POLYESTER FIBERS:
Polyester fibers is a " manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed at least 85% by weight of an easter of a dihydric alcohol (HOROH) and terephthalic acid (p-HOOC-C6H4COOH)". The most widely used polyester fiber is made from the linear polymer poly and this polyester class is generally referred to simply as PET. High strength, high modulus, low _shrinkage, heat set stability, light fastness and chemical resistance account for the great versatility of PET.
