Synthetic fiber: A synthetic fiber is a man made fiber. But all man-made fiber are not synthetic fiber. Nylon, polyester are synthetic fiber. Rayon and acetate from cellulose or regenerated protein fibers from zein or casein are the man-made fiber but not synthetic fiber. Most synthetic and cellulosic manufactured fibers are created by “extrusion” — forcing a thick,…

Classification of Textile Fiber Fiber Fiber or fibre is classes of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to lengths of thread.They are very important in the biology of both plants and animals, for holding tissues together. Human uses for fibers are diverse. They can be spun into filaments, string or rope,…

Basic information about Polyester staple fibre (PSF) Polyester is a synthetic fiber derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory, polyester fibers are formed from a chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol. In this reaction, two or more molecules combine to make a large molecule whose structure repeats throughout its…

Properties of Textile Fiber: Before learning about properties of fiber, you should know about what is textile fiber? We can define fiber as; Any substance, natural or manufactured, with a high length to width ratio and with suitable characteristics for being processed into fabric; the smallest component, hair like in nature, that can be separated…

POLYESTER & POLYESTER BOTTLES: Most synthetic fibers (approximately 70%) are made from polyester, and the polyester most often used in textiles is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The majority of the world’s PET production – about 60% – is used to make fibers for textiles; about 30% is used to make bottles. It’s estimated that it takes about 104 million barrels…
