The sublimation Polyester fabric is a polymer, meaning it is a plastic that has a molecular structure of a large number of similar units bonded together. Think of it like a metal chain with repeating links. It is a synthetic fiber made by a chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol. In this reaction, two or more molecules combine to make a large molecule whose structure repeats throughout its length. Therefore, like a metal chain, polyester fibers can form very long molecules that are very stable and strong.
Polyester has both excellent strength and quick drying, allowing it to stand up to any sport. It has a fantastic elastic recovery meaning that fabrics can stretch to their limits without losing their initial shape. In addition, polyester has good abrasion resistance and absorbs color faster than nylon. Dyed polyester expels the water in the dye but not the dye itself. This bonds the dye with the fibers while nylon absorbs some of the water meaning it takes longer to dry than polyester.
To summarize, the characteristics that have made nylon fabric in particular popular include:
Very durable and abrasion resistant
Resists water, dries quickly
Resists stretching and shrinking
Mold and mildew resistant
Holds color well, resists fading
Overall, polyester fabric has many beneficial uses and allows you endless possibilities for your creativity. Polyester alongside spandex creates a wicking fabric that can hold its shape and give the wearer the comfort they need during any sport.
