Technical Data Sheet
POLYESTER FIBERS
Mid Denier Blend
Product Code Prefix: PSBLD-030
Definition: A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxylic acid, including but not restricted to substituted terephthalate units and parasubstituted hydroxybenzoate units.
Standard Filament Size: A blend of diameters from 2.0 to 8.0 denier per filament (dpf) selected for best price
Standard Cut Lengths: 1/8?, 1/4? (3mm, 6mm)
Other lengths may be available upon request.
Shrinkage, Hot Air Free, 177oC, 30 min. (%): 2 to 16
Breaking Tenacity (gpd): 6 to 11
Initial Moisture Content (%): 3.0
Average Moisture Regain of Polyester (%): 1.0
Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 1.38
Effect of Heat: Sticks at 440 to 445oF. Melts at 480 to 500oF.
Yellows slightly at 300oF when held for 5 hours.
Chemical Reactivity: Good resistance to acids. Not resistant to strong alkalis. Good resistance to organic solvents.
Dispersion: Easily dispersed in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Surface treatment to aid dispersion applied as required.
