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.

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:

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.

damp environments.
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.

31. While clothing used to be the most popular use of polyester and which made
it a household name worldwide, there are many other uses polyester is put to.
PET: The most common use of polyester today is to make the plastic bottles
that store beverages. Shatterproof and cheap these bottles are familiar to the
beverages industry.
32. Mylar: An unusual and little known use of polyester
is in the manufacturing of balloons. Not the rubber kind that used for
normal balloons but the really pretty decorated ones that are gifted on
special occasions. These are made of Mylar – a kind of polyester film. The
balloons are made of a composite of Mylar and aluminum foil.
Miscellaneous: Polyester is also used to manufacture high strength ropes,
thread, hoses, sails, floppy disk liners, power belting and much more in
industries.
