Does 100% Polyester Fabric Pill?

One thing we want to make clear is that 100% polyester fabrics will indeed pill. Because polyester is a natural fiber fabric, due to the friction of external forces, polyester fabrics will fluff and pill during the process of making clothes and wearing them. The reason why polyester is easy to pill is closely related to its fiber properties.

Due to the small cohesion force between fibers, high strength, good wear resistance, strong bending resistance and torsion resistance, the fibers are easy to slide out of the surface to form small balls, and it is not easy to fall off. Under the action of constant external friction, the fibers are constantly exposed on the surface of the fabric, and these small hair balls are not only not easy to fall off on the surface, but also intertwined with each other to form many hair balls, so we call it pilling.

In the actual wearing and washing process, the fibers are constantly subjected to external friction, so that the fibers on the surface of the fabric are continuously exposed to the fabric, and many annoying hairs appear on the surface of the fabric, which is fluff. If these hairs continue to be used If the pellets cannot fall in time, they will be entangled with each other and kneaded into many small spherical particles, which are usually called pilling. In this way, we have answered the question of whether polyester fabric will pill.

Polyester, an important variety in synthetic fibers, is the trade name of polyester fibers. A fiber-forming high polymer made from purified terephthalic acid (PTA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and ethylene glycol (EG) through esterification or transesterification and polycondensation reactions - Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), fibers made by spinning and subsequent treatment.
