1. Wrinkle resistant and wear-resistant --- polyester

Features:

High strength, good impact resistance. Heat resistance, corrosion resistance, moth resistance, acid resistance, light resistance is very good (second only to acrylic fiber).Exposure to the sun for 1000 hours, strength maintain 60-70%. Poor moisture absorption, difficult dyeing, easy to wash and dry fabric, good shape preservation, with "washable" characteristics.

Use:

Filament use: often used as low-elastic silk to make various textiles;

Staple fiber use: cotton, wool, hemp, etc. can be blended;

Industrial: tire cord, fishing net, rope, filter cloth, insulation material, etc.  It is currently the largest amount of chemical fiber.

2. Strong and wear-resistant --- nylon

Features:

The biggest advantage of nylon is strong and wear-resistant, which is one of the best. Small density, light fabric, good elasticity, wear resistance, damage resistance, 

chemical stability is also very good, alkali resistance.

The biggest disadvantage is that the sun resistance is not good, the fabric will turn yellow after a long time, the strength will decrease, and the moisture absorption is not 

good, but it is better than acrylic and polyester.

Use:

Filament: mostly used in knitting and silk industry;  

Staple fiber: mostly blended with wool or wool chemical fiber, as gabardine, vannedin, etc.  

Industrial use: fishing net, can also be used as carpet, rope, conveyor belt, screen, etc.

3. Light and warm, --- polypropylene

Features:

Polypropylene fiber is the lightest fiber of common chemical fibers. It is almost not hygroscopic, but has good wicking capacity, high strength, dimensional stability of the fabric, good wear elasticity, and good chemical stability. However, the thermal stability is poor, not resistant to sunlight, easy to age and brittle.

Use:

Used for weaving socks, mosquito net cloth, quilts, thermal fillers, diaper wet, etc. 

Industrial use: carpets, fishing nets, canvas, hoses, medical belts instead of cotton gauze, as hygiene products.

4.  Resistant to sun exposure --- acrylic

Features:

Good sun resistance, good weather resistance, poor moisture absorption, difficult dyeing.

Use:

Mainly for civil use, can be pure spinning or blending, into a variety of wool, wool, blankets, sportswear; It can also be used for artificial fur, plush, parasol cloth, etc.

5. Water soluble moisture absorption --- vinylon

Features:

The biggest feature of Vinylon is that it has great hygroscopicity and is known as "synthetic cotton". The strength is worse than nylon and polyester, good chemical stability and alkali resistance. It also has good sunlight and weather resistance, and it has the worst elasticity due to dry heat and not humid heat (shrinkage). The fabric is easy to wrinkle, poor dyeing, and the color is not bright.

Use:

Mostly blended with cotton: muslin, poplin, corduroy, underwear, canvas, tarpaulin, packaging materials, labor clothes, etc

6. Elastic fiber - Spandex

Features:

Spandex has the best elasticity, the worst strength, and poor moisture absorption. It has good light resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and wear resistance. Spandex is a high-elastic fiber necessary for high-performance clothing that pursues movement and convenience. Spandex is 5-7 times longer than the original shape, so it is comfortable to wear, soft to the touch, and wrinkle-free, and can always maintain its original silhouette.

Use:

Spandex is widely used in underwear, women's underwear, casual wear, sportswear, socks, pantyhose, bandages, etc. in the textile field, medical field, etc.
