A synthetic material cut into specific lengths, it mimics the properties of natural fibers like cotton or wool. These manufactured filaments are produced by extruding molten polyester through spinnerets and then chopping them into desired sizes. This process allows for the creation of materials with diverse characteristics, suitable for blending with other fibers or use on their own in various applications.
Its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it a dominant material in the textile industry. It offers advantages such as wrinkle resistance, durability, and ease of care. Historically, the development of this material significantly impacted textile manufacturing by providing a consistent and readily available alternative to natural resources, leading to increased production efficiency and affordability of clothing and other textile products.
