Both acetate and polyester are relatively common cellulose materials. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to simply say which one is better. Below I will introduce their characteristics and applications respectively to help you understand them better.
Acetate fiber, also known as rayon, regenerated fiber, etc., is a synthetic fiber made of cellulose, which is soft, shiny, and breathable , moisture absorption, easy to dry and other characteristics. The strength and abrasion resistance of acetate fiber are relatively low, but its softness and breathability are good, and it feels comfortable and comfortable to wear. Therefore, acetate fiber is often used to make daily clothing such as clothes, underwear, socks, and scarves.
Polyester fiber is a synthetic fiber made of polyester, which is soft, breathable, hygroscopic, easy to dry, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. . Polyester fiber has relatively high strength and abrasion resistance, but is less soft and feels slightly harder. Polyester fiber is usually used to make sportswear, outdoor clothing, bedding, luggage and other products that require high wear resistance.
In general, acetate fiber and polyester fiber have their own application fields, depending on the use environment and needs of the product. If you need soft, comfortable clothing, choose acetate; if you need something more abrasion-resistant, choose polyester. Of course, for some special needs, the two fibers can also be mixed to achieve better results.
