Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF)

Colossutex’s Polyester Staple Fiber is a synthetic fiber made by recycling PET/Polyester products post-consumption. The fiber has many industrial applications because of its unique characteristics, particularly its resistance to stretching or shrinking. The fiber is easily washable because it dries quickly, while remaining crisp and strong afterwards. It can also resist wrinkles, chemicals, and mild surface damage. The products are mainly used for fiber fillings in cushions and sofa. They are also used in the cotton spinning industry, where they are individually spun or blended with cotton, viscose, hemp, wool, vinylon, etc. The resulting yarns are mainly used for apparel weaving and can also be used for home improvement, packaging, and fillings. Warm materials. Benefits of Polyester Staple Fiber Polyester Staple Fiber has numerous benefits that make it a perfect fit for many applications. Here are some of its qualities: Strength The strength of our polyester staple fiber is nearly twice that of cotton and three times higher than wool, which makes the fiber strong and highly durable. Due to its low hygroscopicity, its wet strength and dry strength are basically the same. Abrasion Resistance It is the ability of a fabric to resist surface wear caused by flat rubbing contact with another material. Abrasion resistance of polyester staple fiber is second to nylon and ranks second in synthetic fibers, which highly contributes to the fiber’s durability. Elasticity The elasticity of polyester is close to that of wool, its ability to resist wrinkles is higher than other fabrics and has good dimensional stability. It can recover when it stretches 5% to 6%. Preservative It is resistant to bleaching agents, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products, and inorganic acids. It is resistant to dilute alkali, not afraid of mildew. There is also strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and UV resistance. Economic Its low production cost, recyclability, and abundance of raw resources contribute to its low price. Most fabrics require special laminating treatments to make them waterproof. Polyester is naturally water-resistant. This means that manufacturers do not have to apply costly lamination treatments. Its production costs less than manufacturing cotton or wool. The fiber is two times cheaper than nylon. Durability Polyester absorbs less than one percent of moisture by weight, offers good dimensional stability under a variety of conditions, also has good insulation properties and unique filling properties. Customer-Centric Due to its ability to resist almost all kinds of fluids, Polyester Staple Fiber becomes a good choice when designing clothes as it is easy to machine wash and dry clean. Its high retentivity is one of the factors it is used in mattresses. Our PSF is non-allergenic and does not promote the growth of bacteria. What's more, is it's 100% recyclable- something all of us can embrace. To know more about our Polyester Staple Fiber, feel free to contact our sales team.
