Polyester

Polyester fabric, a synthetic material made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is known for its durability, strength, and high resistance to environmental conditions. This material is highly versatile, and designers typically use it for various types of clothing, such as outerwear, fashion apparel, and formal wear, like suits and dresses.

The blend of polyester and spandex is also a very popular textile for creating swimwear because of its quick-drying characteristics and ability to retain shape. It is also used for activewear such as jerseys, running shorts, yoga pants, leggings, and fitness tops. 

Here are its main advantages for use in activewear and swimwear:

• Shape maintenance: This material ensures that garments do not sag or get stretched over time, which is essential in activewear and swimwear, where fit and flexibility are crucial.
• Cost-Effectiveness: This synthetic cloth is generally less expensive than natural fibers, making it a cost-effective and quality option for clothing manufacturers.
• Durability: The material is durable and resistant to most chemicals, as well as stretching, shrinking, and wrinkles. This resilience makes it ideal for activewear and swimwear that endure frequent wear and exposure to elements like chlorine and saltwater.
• Quick Drying: This textile dries fast because it is naturally hydrophobic. It also repels water, allowing the fabric to shed moisture and dry fast.
• Easy Care: Polyester garments are easy to care for. They can be machine-washed and dried without needing ironing, as the cloth is resistant to wrinkles and shrinkage.
