Sorona fiber and polyester fiber both are chemical synthetic fiber. They have some differences.
1.Chemical component:
Sorona is a kind of polyamide fiber, which is made of amide resin. And polyester fiber is made of polyester resin. For they have different chemical structure, they are different with each other in property and application.
2.Heat resistance:
Sorona fiber has good heat resistance. It can be used at high temperature, such as 120℃. The heat resistance of polyester fiber is relatively poor, which is generally 60~80℃. Hence, for textiles that need to be used in higher temperature, sorona fiber is more advantageous.
3.Wear resistance:
Sorona fiber is better than polyester fiber in wear resistance, so it has longer service life. Sorona fiber is not easy to pilling during friction. So that sorona fiber is better for clothing that requires frequent friction, as coat and trouser legs, etc.
4.Moisture absorption:
Polyester fiber has better moisture absorption than sorona fiber. So clothing made of polyester fiber is more comfortable for wearing in humid environment. Polyester fiber can quickly absorb the sweat and evaporate it so as to keep the skin dry. Therefore, for the clothes that need good moisture absorption and good breathability, such as sportswear and underwear, etc., polyester fibers are more common.
5.Breathability:
Polyester fiber has better breathability than sorona fiber, which is conducive to sweat evaporation and more comfortable for wearing. Polyester fiber has larger fiber gaps and better air circulation, so at high temperature, clothing made of polyester fiber is more breathable and more comfortable than sorona fiber.
6.Dyeing property:
The dyeing property of sorona fiber is worse than that of polyester fiber. Therefore, polyester fiber is better to make colorful clothing. Polyester fiber can be dyed into various kinds of brilliant colors with high color fastness, so that polyester fiber is widely applied in fashionable and colorful clothes.
7.Price:
The production process of sorona fiber is more complicated and sorona fiber has superior performance, so its price is higher than polyester fiber. However, for the large output, mature production process and relatively low price, polyester fiber is more common in the mass market.
8.Environmental protection property:
During the production process of sorona fiber, there will produce less pollution to the environment. And sorona fiber is recyclable. And during the production process of polyester fiber, there will produce more pollution to environment. But polyester fiber is also recyclable. At present, there are more and more recycle and reuse technologies of polyester waste.
Generally speaking, sorona fiber and polyester fiber have some differences in properties and application. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are suitable for different occasions and purposes.
