Polyester
Polyester, compared with other general-purpose fibers, has stable characteristics even under high temperature.
| Fiber | Thermal influence | |
|---|---|---|
| Softening temperature (deg C) | Melting point (deg C) | |
| Polyester | 238～240 | 255～260 |
| Acryl | 190～240 | Not clear |
| Nylon | 180 | 215～220 |
| Rayon | Does not soften | Decomposes at from 260 to 300deg C |
