The difference between nylon fabric and polyester, first teach you how to distinguish the two fabrics of nylon and polyester:

1. Sensory differences:
In terms of the glossiness of the fabric, the color of the fabric is brighter, and the nylon fabric is slippery; the surface of the fabric is darker than nylon, and the polyester fabric is rougher.

2. The difference of incineration (the simplest way):
Burning of nylon fabric: nylon will bend quickly and burn into a white gel when it is close to the flame. It will emit white smoke, emit a celery smell, and will foam. Moreover, there is no flame when nylon is burned. It is difficult to remove it from the flame. Continue to burn. After burning, you can see the light brown molten material, which is not simply twisted by hand.

The incineration of polyester fabric: Polyester is relatively simple to light, and it will bend immediately when it is close to the flame. When it is burned, it will melt while emitting black smoke. The flame is yellow and emits a fragrant smell. After incineration, dark brown lumps will occur. Twist broken.

3. Scrape with your nails
Scrape the fabric with your nails. After scraping, nylon is not noticeable, and polyester is the one that has noticeable marks. This comparison method is more intuitive and clear.

Next, let's take a look at their differences in function:
Nylon fabrics are mostly used as linings on clothing and bags due to their good ductility and strong air permeability, and this fabric will be used to make the upper part of some shoes, such as running shoes, tennis shoes, etc. , Nylon fabric can increase the breathability of shoes and make the wearer more comfortable.

Polyester fabrics are widely used in the production of clothing and industrial products. It is a kind of chemical fiber garment fabric that we have in our days. The biggest advantage is that it is not easy to deform and not easy to wrinkle. In addition, it has the characteristics of strong durability, good elasticity, insulation, and simple cleaning, so it is very suitable for outerwear.

In short, nylon fabric products are better than polyester fabric products in terms of abrasion resistance, stress, color fastness, gloss, etc., but nylon has a harder feel and higher cost than polyester.
