  Polyester,features are good air permeability and moisture wicking.It also has strong acid and alkali  resistance and UV resistance.Generally, fabrics that are multiples of 75D are polyester, such as 75D, 150D, 300D, 600D, 1200D, and 1800D are all polyester, and the appearance of the fabric is darker and rougher than nylon.

 

  Nylonthe advantages are high strength, high wear resistance, high chemical resistance, good deformation resistance and aging resistance. The disadvantage is that it feels harder. The more famous ones are PERTEX and CORDURA.Generally, fabrics that are multiples of 70D are nylon. For example, 70D, 210D, 420D, 840D, and 1680D are all made of nylon. The gloss of the fabric is brighter and the hand feels smoother. Generally speaking, bags are made of nylon Oxford cloth. The easiest difference between nylon and polyester is the burning method! Polyester emits a lot of black smoke, nylon emits white smoke, and look at the residue after burning. Polyester will shatter when pinched, and nylon will become plastic! Nylon is twice as expensive as polyester. Nylon, close to the flame, quickly shrinks and melts into a white gel, melts and drips and foams in the flame. There is no flame when burning, and it is difficult to continue burning away from the flame. It emits a celery smell. After cooling, the light brown melt is not easy to grind.  Polyester is easy to ignite, and it melts and shrinks when it is near the flame. When it burns, it melts and emits black smoke. It has a yellow flame and emits an aromatic smell. After burning, the ashes are dark brown lumps, which can be crushed with fingers.
