It depends on the type of Polyster you are using. Following material can tell you some basics about Polyster.
Polyester is a form of plastic used in textiles and objects and is formed by the interaction of dihydric alcohol with terephalic acid.
Different polyester fibers have slightly different characteristics, but they share similar properties. They absorb little moisture and can be washed or dry-cleaned. Prolonged exposure to sunlight reduces their strength. They melt at about 260º C (about 500º F).
Polyester is most familiar as a component of fabric. Clothes with high polyester content became popular in the 1970s. Partly because they lacked the texture and feel of natural fabrics such as cotton and wool, their popularity decreased. However, polyester is still a component in many fabrics used in clothing and other items.
A polyester fiber made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used in a wide range of products including tire cords, shrink wrap, and clothing. The fiber resists wrinkling, mildew, and a variety of chemicals. PET also is used to make bottles as containers for soft drinks. The most common use of polyester today is in textiles marketed under the names Dacron, Fibre V, Fortrel, and Kodel.
Polyester was largely developed by American chemist Wallace Carothers, who led an effort at the Du Pont Company during the 1920s and 1930s to develop synthetic fiber. His research produced neoprene, which is a synthetic rubber, and . He experimented with polyester, but could not produce a variety with the necessary strength and high melting point. After World War II (1939-1945), British scientists Jon Whinfield and J. T. Dickson improved on Carothers’s experiments, making a stronger polyester, Terylene, that produced usable fibers. In the process, they passed heated polyester through small holes in a metal plate. They then partially cooled the fibers to set the strands, and passed them between two rollers that rotated at different speeds. The greater the difference in rotation speeds, the stronger the tensile strength of the fiber.
