Is there anything special about it? Let us discuss it together.
The full name of PBT is polybutylene terephthalate, which is formed by polycondensation of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) or terephthalic acid (TPA) and butylene glycol after esterification. It is a high-performance synthetic fiber material, is widely used in swimwear manufacturing. What is particularly outstanding is that the PBT fiber after deformation processing is very elastic. The filament of PBT fiber can be used after deformation processing, and the short fiber can be blended with other fibers, and can also be used for core-spun yarn to make elastic labor cloth. For making wool-like fabrics. The fabric made of PBT fiber can move with you, and it is very comfortable and close-fitting to wear, which is comparable to spandex fabric. Whether it is under low load or wet conditions, it has a reversible relaxation-tension state with molecules that can be reversible with external forces.
The PBT fabric offers exceptional durability, retaining its shape and quality through prolonged use and frequent water activities. PBT swimsuits are more resistant to deformation and stretching than other commonly used swimwear materials such as polyester. PBT swimwear has excellent fade resistance, and can maintain bright colors and patterns even under the influence of harmful factors such as sunlight, sea water or chlorinated agents.
