Polyester dyed non-slip fabric is a high-strength, durable, water resistant and breathable material. It is also phthalate free, easy to clean and comes in comfortable colors that are stocked and ready for immediate shipping. It is an ideal option for use in a variety of indoor and outdoor applications.
This type of fabric is a good alternative to PVC and is suitable for use in areas where vinyl is too heavy or chemically unsafe, such as swimming pools and healthcare environments. These non-slip fabrics have a soft, silky feel to the touch and are easy to cut to fit the necessary area. They are water proof and have a fire retardant rating, making them an excellent choice for upholstery, curtains, drapes and wall coverings.
This fabric can be dyed with any type of disperse or sulfide dye and is easily fabricated into the desired shape and size. It is ideal for upholstery, awnings, wall coverings and even window treatments. It can also be used in the manufacture of rugs and woven flooring.
This was the first time that polymers of alcohols and carboxyl acids were successfully combined to form a fibrous material. It became widely used after WWII due to its cheapness and durability. Hundreds of small textile mills sprouted up all over the country, many located in old gas stations to take advantage of the huge market for the new synthetic fibre.
In order to achieve the best results when dyeing polyester and polyester cotton blends, it is important to use a dye that has been specifically formulated for these types of fibers. This dye is called a disperse dye and has been designed to penetrate the surface of the fiber and absorb the molecules. These dyes must be dissolved in hot water and then dispersed to produce a fine aqueous solution.
When dyeing polyester or polyester cotton, the temperature of the water must be brought to a boil before the dye can be added. It is also recommended that the item remain in the dye bath for at least 30 minutes or more. The longer the item remains in the dyebath, the darker it will become.
If you are using a dispersed dye to color polyester, it is important to use the right kind of water for the process. Hard water will not dissolve the dye properly, and soft water may cause it to run. The dye should be agitated to make sure it is fully dissolved and distributed throughout the fibers.
When the dye has been thoroughly mixed into the solution, it is ready to be used. It is important to use a pot that is large enough to hold the amount of fabric being dyed. It is also recommended that the item be kept in the dye bath for as long as possible to ensure that all of the dye has been absorbed. When the desired shade has been achieved, it is important to remove the polyester from the dye bath and rinse it with cold water.
