FAQ About Differences in Polyester

Yes, polyester can be dyed. Polyester fibers have good affinity for synthetic dyes, allowing them to be dyed in a wide range of colors. Polyester fabrics can be dyed using various dyeing methods, including immersion dyeing, exhaust dyeing, or printing techniques.

However, it's important to note that dyeing polyester requires different processes compared to natural fibers like cotton or wool. Polyester is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, making it challenging for dyes to penetrate the fibers. To overcome this, dyeing polyester typically involves the use of disperse dyes, which are specifically designed for dyeing synthetic fibers.
