As new spinning polymer, PTT fiber is short for polytrimethylene terephthalate), developed by Shell Chemical in 1995. PTT fiber, PET fiber (ethylene terephthalate) and PBT fiber (tetramethylene terephthalate) belong to polyester, spun by the same kind of polymers. PTT fiber combines with the characteristics of polyester and nylon. Beside good strain resistance, PTT fiber has good dyeability, soft feelings and excellent elasticity. Extensibility of PTT fiber is the same as spandex. Compared with spandex, PTT fiber is easier for processing and more suitable for clothes. Otherwise, PTT fiber has dry, stiff and smooth. For that, PTT fiber will replace of polyester and nylon, widely utilized in the 21st century.
Characteristics of PTT fiber:
1.PTT fiber has softness and excellent drapability
2.PTT fiber has comfortable elasticity (better than PET fiber, PBT fiber and PP fiber, is equivalent to nylon 6 or nylon 66).
3.PTT fiber has excellent extensibility (the length can be recovered when the fiber is extended by 20%).
4.PTT fiber has excellent dyeability, textile printing properties (110℃~120℃, disperse dyes can be used for dyeing), superior color fastness, light fastness and pollution resistance.
5.PET fiber has various colors and non-ironing.
6.PTT fiber has wide usage. Recombined with cellulose fiber, natural fiber and synthetic fiber, PTT fiber is ideal raw materials for carpet, plain clothes, fashions, underwear, sports suit, swimsuit and socks.
