Polyester is a synthetic fiber, which is the raw material of chemical fiber fabric. It is not a fabric itself. Polyester is the former name, which is called polyester in scientific name. The whole process polyethylene terephthalate is the trade name of polyester fiber. Nylon is nylon, which is called Nylon, polyester amine fiber. The advantages are high strength, high abrasion resistance, high pitting blood, good deformation resistance and aging resistance, but the disadvantages are hard hand feel.

1. Sensory differentiation

The luster of the fabric is bright, and the handle is slippery, which is nylon; The appearance of the fabric is darker than nylon, and the rougher one is polyester.

Nylon has a glossy, almost shiny finish, while polyester has a more matte appearance. This difference in finish can affect the perceived quality and feel of the yarn.

2. Combustion

The simple difference between nylon and polyester is combustion method! When polyester burns, it emits strong black smoke, while nylon emits white smoke. In addition, depending on the residue after burning, polyester will break when squeezed, and nylon will become plastic! It is often said that nylon is twice as expensive as polyester.

3. Scratch with nails

In addition, you can use nails to scrape. After the nails are scraped, the obvious mark is polyester, and the invisible mark is nylon. But this method is not as intuitive as one.

4.Performance Properties

Another important difference between nylon and polyester yarn is their performance properties. Nylon is generally more resilient and less prone to shrinkage, making it a popular choice for outdoor and athletic fabrics. Polyester, on the other hand, is more resistant to UV rays and moisture damage, making it a good choice for outdoor gear and swimwear.
