Textile Value Chain
|February 2021
How often do we see PET around us? If you observe we are surrounded with PET and its variants. From apparels to heavy industrial textiles, PET has become one of the most important fiber to humans. This is because of its amazing properties. It is strong, stable, and durable, If we compare it with natural fibers, it is cheaper with such features.
PET is resistant to water and chemicals hence, filter fabric companies use it intensively. PET is easy to care and is wrinkle resistant, unlike cotton and linen. PET can also provide warmth like wool and cloth like cotton. We can manufacture PET as per our need. The ability to change its cross-section and structure make it very useful for the aesthetic properties of fabric. All fashion oriented industries are dependent on PET and its blends for the shine. PET is cost-effective which makes it affordable to the majority. PET has its applications in industrial and biomedical fields because of its high performance.
