nylon of polyester

Two kinds of man-made fibers, nylon and polyester are produced these days for uses in numerous items from clothes to bags. Many kinds of materials are popular because they have various qualities that make them useful. Nylon is made from oil which are natural resources whereas polyester is a type of plastic that was created through different kinds or chemical processes. If you touch both the materials, polyester will have a smooth and soft feel on your skin. In comparison, nylon is much rougher to the touch. One really cool thing about nylon is that it is super stretchy and bounces back like a champ, where polyester does not wrinkle very well. This results in polyester clothing that looks prim and proper for much longer without requiring too vigorous an ironing.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Nylon and Polyester Fabrics

Both nylon and polyester have good as well as bad qualities. For instance, because nylon is fairly strong and wears well, it makes sense to use for rough made items like backpacks or outdoor gear. This is an ideal mattress protector for people who are frequently washing theirs, because it dries so quickly and doesnt need a tumble dry to be used- which cant be said w the waterproof protectors. But since this material is made up of nylon, it lacks breathability. Which in turn, makes it not that breathable, and this is why sometimes during hot days you might even sweat to death. Polyester, on the other hand is thin and breathable which allows for air breeze over it that makes it a great choice in summer when you want to keep cool. Polyester is also generally lower in cost than nylon which can be a plus to those that maybe looking save some money. That being said, if you are making something heavy-duty (like a tent), this may not be the best fabric since polyester is less strong than nylon.
