Polyester

Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from petrochemical products, primarily produced through a chemical process called polymerization. It is widely used in textiles because it is durable, resistant to shrinking and stretching, and dries quickly. Polyester fabrics are common in clothing, upholstery, and curtains. They can be blended with natural fibers like cotton to enhance strength and durability. Additionally, polyester is often chosen for its low cost and ease of maintenance. While it is a versatile and practical material, it is not biodegradable, which raises environmental concerns regarding its production and disposal.
