Is polyester fabric good for outdoor use?

Polyester fabric is a kind of polymer, made through the polymerization process. Man-made fibers with polyester perform better in water resistance, wind resistance, stain resistance, and weather resistance. It is a material with both durability and versatility, which is good for outdoor use.

Polyester fabric is a widely used material. It is easy to see it in everyday applications. Industries, where it is used, include automotive, aerospace, apparel, household, industrial, and medical applications. The ability to resist wrinkles and shrinkage makes it a common choice for apparel. Household applications include bed sheets, blankets, upholstered furniture, computer mouse pads, pillows, and quilts.

Industrial applications include automotive tire reinforcements, conveyor belt fabrics, and seat belts. Other applications include tents, raincoats, swimsuits, backpacks, awnings, tarpaulins, flag fabrics, flying banners, display fabrics, shower curtains, furniture covers ( indoor and outdoor), etc.

The durability of outdoor application items is more reflected by the weather resistance of the materials used to make them. Weather is an important factor in outdoor activities, and it is a wise choice to pick durable materials for outdoor items to cope with different weather and unexpected situations. Outdoor applications, therefore, require a high level of weather resistance for the material.
