When we usually wear clothes, we will also find that some clothes are more likely to generate static electricity, while some clothes have less obvious static electricity. So, what is polyester fabric? What are the pros and cons?
Polyester fabric is a kind of chemical fiber clothing fabric that is widely used in daily life. Its advantages are good wrinkle resistance and retention, so it is suitable for outdoor products such as clothing coats, various bags, handbags, and tents.

Causes of static electricity in polyester fabrics
Static electricity in clothes is caused by the fact that the fabric does not absorb moisture and is too dry. Because chemical fiber fabrics are not hygroscopic, after friction generates static electricity, it cannot be conducted and dispersed into the space, so static electricity will accumulate. Many people think that clothes made of cotton fabrics will not generate static electricity, but in fact there will be slight static electricity.
For non-hygroscopic materials such as chemical fibers, after friction generates static electricity, because there is no water molecule film to conduct electricity, we can feel its existence when static electricity accumulates, so we say that chemical fibers are prone to static electricity. Common chemical fiber fabrics include polyester. In addition, nylon, acrylic, spandex, imitation cotton, down cotton, etc. are also chemical fiber fabrics.
Advantages and disadvantages of polyester fabrics
1. The advantage of pure cotton fabric is that it is soft and comfortable to wear, and has very good ventilation and moisture permeability. The disadvantage is that it is relatively easy to deform (shrink) and fade. But now with the development of textile dyeing and functional finishing, it has basically been solved.
2. Due to the poor hygroscopicity of the raw material polyester, the pure polyester fabric has very poor ventilation and moisture permeability, but its shape retention performance is very good.
3. The biggest advantage of nylon fabric is that it has very good wear resistance.
