Polyester has a wide range of applications, being extensively used in the manufacture of clothing and industrial products.
Polyester filament, with its high strength, low shrinkage, and good breathability, is used in sportswear, high-end fashion, industrial textiles, and tire cord fabrics.
Flame-retardant polyester, due to its flame-retardant properties, has a wide range of applications. Besides playing an important role in industrial textiles, architectural interiors, and vehicle interior decoration, it is also used in protective clothing. According to national standards for flame-retardant protective clothing, departments such as metallurgy, forestry, chemical, petroleum, and fire protection should use flame-retardant protective clothing. The number of people in China who should use flame-retardant protective clothing exceeds one million, indicating a significant market potential. In addition to pure flame-retardant polyester, multi-functional series products with flame retardancy, waterproofing, oil repellency, and antistatic properties can be produced according to requirements. For example, waterproofing and oil-repellent finishing of flame-retardant polyester fabrics can improve the functionality of flame-retardant clothing; flame-retardant polyester can be interwoven with conductive fibers to produce antistatic flame-retardant fabrics; high-performance flame-retardant fabrics can be produced by blending flame-retardant fibers with high-performance fibers; and the comfort of protective clothing can be improved by blending flame-retardant fibers with fibers such as cotton and viscose.
