How to distinguish between polyester pongee , polyester taffeta and taffeta?

Both polyester taffeta and polyester pongee are polyester fabrics.

Polyester taffeta:

Polyester taffeta is full-length filament, and at least one of the warp and weft of polyester pongee is low-elastic yarn. Taffeta Taffeta, also known as taffeta silk, is a high-grade silk fabric woven with plain polyester pongee arrangement. The warp yarn is made of double-twisted silk, and the weft yarn is made of combined single-twisted silk. The plain weave is used as the ground. The fabric has a high density and is the most compact type of silk fabric. The characteristics of taffeta are that the silk surface is fine, clean and smooth, flat and beautiful, and has a good gloss. The fabric is compact and feels stiff, but it is easy to produce permanent creases after wrinkling. Therefore, it is not suitable for folding and heavy pressure, and is often packaged in rolls. There are many types of taffeta, according to the materials used: there are silk taffeta, double palace silk taffeta, silk and cotton interwoven taffeta, silk weft taffeta, rayon taffeta, polyester taffeta, etc. According to the weaving technology, there are plain taffeta, flash taffeta, striped taffeta, jacquard taffeta, etc. Plain taffeta is woven with dyed silk of a single color; flash taffeta uses different colors of warp and weft yarns, which form a flash effect after weaving into fabrics; striped taffeta uses warp and weft yarns of different colors arranged at regular intervals, and forms a striped effect after weaving into fabrics; jacquard taffeta is called flower taffeta, which is a satin warp flower woven on the plain weave of plain taffeta. Taffeta is fine and clean, with a flat and straight silk surface, smooth and detailed, stiff and stiff, bright in color, and soft and bright in color. It is not easy to get dusty. It is mainly used for women's spring and autumn clothing, holiday dresses, down jacket fabrics, etc.

Polyester taffeta is a thin all-polyester fabric with specifications of 190T, 250T, etc. Polyester taffeta is suitable for jackets, umbrellas, car covers, sportswear, ocean umbrellas, handbags, luggage, sleeping bags, tents, artificial flowers, shower curtains, tablecloths, chair covers and other high-end clothing linings. Polyester taffeta is also a traditional fabric of chemical fiber fabrics. It was once popular, but its sales volume decreased with the rise of a batch of new chemical fiber fabrics. In the second half of 2004, after the use of matte yarn in polyester taffeta fabric, it entered the market with a colorful new look. The use of matte polyester yarn makes the fabric color softer, beautiful and attractive, suitable for making casual wear, sportswear, children's wear, etc. There are more than dozens of colors, which are fashionable and beautiful when worn as a whole, and add attractive charm. Matte polyester taffeta is easy for ordinary people to afford because of its beautiful appearance and low price.
