A strong, durable synthetic fabric. Low absorbency allows the fiber to dry quickly.

A polyester is a polymer where the primary linking molecule is an ester.

A clear, flexible plastic used as a non-organic base for photographic film, for encapsulation, and to protect book covers. Polyester is chemically stable, has high tensile strength, and is very resist [..]

Polyethylene terephthalate extensively as a moisture-resistant cable core wrap.

Generic name for man-made fibers made of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid (PET) which includes naturally occurring chemicals.  Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not. Polyester is generally shrinkproof, retains shape and is wrinkle and moth resistant. While combustible at high tempe [..]

 – A resin or powder containing the chemical group R-COOC-R.

A synthetic (man-made) fiber used in textiles; durable, wrinkle and shrinkage resistant. Polyester fiber is often blended with cotton or other fiber to produce blended cloth.

A man made synthetic fiber. Durable, wrinkle and shrinkage resistance. Polyester fibers are often blended with cotton or other fibers to produce blended cloth.

Polyester products are made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is the material used in the manufacture of milk bottles. When PET is made into the polyester fiber, it is an easy to form and dye material that is commonly used in the production of automobile upholstery, clothing and, of course, patio furniture.

A synthetic fabric that can be used to make banners. Polyester fabrics are useful in the dye sublimation process because they are uniform and can be made to simulate the appearance of other fabrics.

Polyester is a man-made fiber that is second only to cotton in worldwide use. Polyester is strong; resists wrinkling, stretching and shrinking; and has high resistance to abrasion. It dries quickly, is one of the most popular wicking fabrics and is woven with many other fabrics to add strength and durability.

A synthetic fiber first introduced in the 1950s.   Polyester can be used alone or with other fibers to make cloth and is frequently blended with cotton.  It is very strong and resilient and resists ab [..]

Polyesters are a class of polymer which use ester linkages (-C-O-C(O)-) to join the monomer units. Polyesters are condensation polymers.

a synthetic fiber used in sail cloth and ropes. It is 90 percent as strong and has less stretch under load than nylon, is more abrasion resistant, and better resistance to UV light. "Dacron" [..]

Any of several polymeric resins formed chiefly by condensing polyhydric alcohol's with dibasic acids. Fibers formed are woven.

Defined as "long-chain polymers" Polyester fabric is extremely flexible and very resistant to tears and damage. Used due to its strength and durability, Polyester is seen in many of today's leading luggage brands. 

Any of a group of polymers that consist basically of repeated units of an ester and are used especially in making fibres or plastics. Polyesters can be made into woven and knitted fabrics, either alone or blended with other fibres; they also have industrial applications such as ropes, filters, conveyor belts, and tyre cords.

Invented in the early 1930s, polyester is a man-made fiber resistant to shrinkage, wrinkling and moths. Polyester is strong and resilient, with the result that polyester fabrics hold their shape and r [..]
