Generally, nylon is more expensive than polyester. Here are the specific differences between the two materials:
Appearance and feel: The appearance of nylon is relatively smooth, the fabric is shiny and the crease is not easy to recover after folding. Compared with nylon, polyester has weaker gloss and smoothness, and polyester fiber is longer and has a smooth surface, with higher elasticity and recovery ability.
Nature and use: Nylon is a synthetic fiber with good abrasion resistance and wrinkle resistance, and is often used to make mountaineering clothing and winter clothing, etc. Polyester is a man-made fiber with excellent elasticity and recovery, and is commonly used in the manufacture of outerwear and curtains, among other things.
Hygroscopicity and breathability: Nylon has good moisture absorption, which can absorb sweat and discharge moisture, so that the wearer can stay dry and comfortable. Polyester has poor moisture absorption, but it has better air permeability and can quickly discharge moisture to the outside world.
*: Generally speaking, nylon has a higher ** because of its higher production cost and excellent performance. The ** of polyester is relatively low because its production process is relatively mature and the raw materials are relatively cheap.
In terms of overall comparison, the physical properties of nylon are better, and they are more expensive than polyester. However, the specific ** will also be affected by various factors such as market supply and demand, brand and quality.
