100% Polyester Microfiber Fabric

What is 100% Polyester Microfiber Fabric?

100% Polyester Microfiber Fabric is made from ultra-fine polyester fibers. It is much smaller than a strand of silk. These microfibers are tightly woven together. It’s creating a dense yet soft fabric. Typically, each fiber is thinner than a human hair (about 0.7 denier or less). Therefore it gives the material its signature softness and lightweight feel.

Typically, microfiber comprises fibers that are 0.5 to 1.0 denier (a unit of measurement for fiber thickness). Silk measures about 1.25 deniers for perspective, making microfiber thinner and more delicate.

Key Characteristics

• Durability: Polyester microfiber is known for its high strength and resistance to wear and tear. It can withstand repeated washing without losing its shape or breaking down.
• Softness: Despite its durability, this fabric has an incredibly soft texture. It makes clothing, bedding, and upholstery comfortable.
• Water Repellency: The tightly woven microfibers offer some water resistance, making this fabric ideal for outdoor gear and sportswear.
• Breathability: Microfiber fabric allows for good air circulation, ensuring it remains comfortable to wear even in warm climates.
• Wrinkle Resistance: Polyester microfiber doesn't easily wrinkle, maintaining a neat appearance over time.
