The difference between nylon and polyester, nylon and
polyester fabrics are very common in our daily life, but no one can tell the difference between nylon and polyester, so what is the difference between these two fabrics, we How to choose these two kinds of fabrics in different occasions in life and different uses
1. Sensory difference:
In terms of the gloss of the fabric, the fabric is brighter in color and smoother to the touch; the fabric is darker in color than nylon, and the fabric is rougher in hand; polyester fabrics;
2. Combustion difference (the easiest way):
Burning of nylon fabrics: Nylon will quickly curl up near the flame, burn into a white gel, emit white smoke, emit a celery smell, and bubble, and there is no flame when nylon burns, and it is difficult to remove it from the flame. Continue to burn, light brown molten material can be seen after burning, which is not easy to be broken by hand.
Combustion of polyester fabric: polyester is easier to ignite, and it will curl immediately when it is close to the flame. When burning, it will melt and emit black smoke. The flame is yellow and emits a fragrant smell. After burning, it will produce dark brown lumps, which can be twisted with fingers broken.
3. Scrape with your fingernails
Scrape the fabric with your fingernails. After scraping, the traces are not obvious from nylon, and the ones with obvious traces are polyester. (Compared with the first method, the first method is more intuitive and clear)
Because of its good ductility and strong air permeability, nylon fabrics are mostly used as inner linings on clothing and bags, and this fabric will be used to make the upper part of certain shoes, such as running shoes, tennis shoes, etc. , Nylon fabric can increase the breathability of shoes and make the wearer more comfortable.
Polyester fabrics are widely used in the manufacture of clothing and industrial products. It is a very common chemical fiber clothing fabric in our lives. The biggest advantage is that it is not easy to deform and wrinkle. In addition, it has the characteristics of strong durability, good elasticity, insulation, and easy cleaning, so it is very suitable for outerwear.
What is the difference between nylon and polyester, and what are the differences in performance? In short, nylon fabric products are better than polyester fabric products in terms of wear resistance, stress, color fastness, gloss, etc., but nylon has a harder feel and is more expensive than polyester.
