2. Polyester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

   Polyester fiber is used as cushioning and insulating material in pillows, comforters, stuffed animals and characters, and upholstery padding. Polyester fabrics are highly stain-resistant since polyester is a hydrophobic material, making it hard to absorb liquids.

4. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

5. List of textile fibres - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_textile_fibres

   Textile fibres or textile fibers (see spelling differences) can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires.

6. Microfiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfiber

   Microfiber fabrics are man-made and frequently used for athletic wear, such as cycling jerseys, because the microfiber material wicks moisture (perspiration) away from the body; subsequent evaporation cools the wearer. Microfiber can be used to make tough, very soft fabric for clothing, often used in skirts, jackets, bathrobes, and swimwear.

7. Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclohexylenedim...

   Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) is a thermoplastic polyester formed from the polycondensation of terephthalic acid and cyclohexanedimethanol. [1] Its chemical structure is similar to that of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with which it shares properties like dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

8. Fabric structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_structure

   Fabric properties: When discussing fabric properties for use on a structure, there are several terms that are commonly used: Tensile strength is a basic indicator of relative strength. It is fundamental for architectural fabrics that function primarily in tension.

9. Vinyl coated polyester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_coated_polyester

   Vinyl coated polyester is a material frequently used for flexible fabric structures. It is made up of a polyester scrim, a bonding or adhesive agent, and an exterior PVC coating. The scrim supports the coating (which is initially applied in liquid form) and provides the tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and dimensional stability of ...
