What is Polyester?

Fabric Type Synthetic Polymer
Key Benefits Superior Moisture-Wicking, Excellent Durability, Unmatched Color Fastness, Wrinkle Resistant
Feel Can range from slightly silky to crisp; generally less soft than nylon.
Melhor para Team Jerseys, Running Apparel, T-shirts, Fleece, Outerwear
Sustainability Virgin polyester is petroleum-based; a leader in recycled options (rPET from bottles).
Polyester is a synthetic fiber that dominates the activewear market due to its incredible versatility and cost-effectiveness. Known chemically as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), its fibers are strong, resilient, and hydrophobic (water-repelling). This core trait is why it forms the basis of mostdri-fitor performance wicking fabrics, designed to keep athletes dry and comfortable no matter the intensity.

Core Properties for Activewear

Performance-Ready Fabrics

Superior Moisture-Wicking

Polyester fibers are hydrophobic, meaning they absorb very little moisture. Instead, they efficiently transport sweat to the fabric's surface to evaporate quickly, making it the industry standard for wicking apparel.

Durable Lasting Construction

Excellent Durability & Resilience

It is highly resistant to abrasion, stretching, shrinking, and wrinkles. This makes polyester garments exceptionally easy to care for and durable enough for rigorous, daily use.

Ideal for Detailed Branding

Unmatched Color Fastness & Printability

Polyester holds dye exceptionally well, especially for sublimation printing, resulting in vibrant, sharp, and long-lasting graphics that won't crack, peel, or fade. This is essential for team uniforms and branded apparel.

Versátil para academia & Estilo de vida

Lightweight Insulation

When brushed or structured into fleece, polyester traps air to provide excellent insulation without the weight, making it the primary material for performance fleece jackets and linings.

Our Commitment to Polyester Quality & Consistency

A superior final garment begins with flawless raw materials. Every roll of fabric we source from our certified mill partners undergoes a rigorous incoming quality control (QI) process at our facility before it is cleared for production. Our inspection includes checks for Color Consistency, Fabric Weight & Thickness, Defect Detection and Performance Testing. This meticulous attention to fabric quality is the first step in our comprehensive quality assurance system.

Color Consistency

Verifying shade accuracy against standards using spectrophotometry.

Fabric Weight & Thickness

Ensuring uniformity in GSM (grams per square meter).

Defect Detection

Scanning for any tears, stains, or weaving imperfections.

Performance Testing

Conducting sample tests for stretch, recovery, and durability.

Organic Cotton Recycling Cloth Zero Waste Materials

Poliéster & The Power of Recycled rPET

While virgin polyester is petroleum-based, it is the undisputed leader in textile recycling.Poliéster Reciclado (PET) is most commonly made from post-consumer plastic bottles, diverting waste from landfills and oceans. Producing rPET uses significantly less energy and water than virgin polyester. Sansansun offers a full range of high-quality, GRS-certified rPET fabrics ,making it simple for your brand to build a powerful, sustainable story.

Garment Care

Washing

Washing

Machine wash warm or cold with like colors. Polyester is very durable and can handle most standard washing cycles.

Drying

Drying

Tumble dry on a low to medium heat setting. It dries very quickly and is naturally wrinkle-resistant.

Avoid

Avoid

Avoid high heat ironing, as it can melt the fibers. Fabric softeners are not necessary and can hinder wicking performance.
