Polyester fabrics for rubber hoses

Technofabric: Custom production of Polyester fabrics

Polyester is a synthetic fiber made by the polymerization of monomers based on adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, or caprolactam. Polyester is the abbreviated name for an artificial synthetic polymer, polyethylene terephthalate. The abbreviation for polyester is PL.

To produce polyester, two main steps are followed: synthesis and spinning. In synthesis, monomer molecules are associated with each other through chemical reactions, forming solid materials called chips. In spinning, the chips are melted or dissolved and passed through spinners, resulting in polyester yarns or fibers.

Some technical characteristics of Polyester fabrics for rubber hoses are:

Polyester is a synthetic fiber obtained from the polycondensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, specifically polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

This fiber has high resistance to wear, tensile strength, chemicals and water. It is also lightweight, elastic, creaseable and easy to maintain.

This fabric has a low melting point (about 220°C) and high linear thermal expansion. This makes it suitable for applications that require good adaptability to temperature changes.

This fabric has low hygroscopicity (absorbs little moisture) and fast drying. This makes it ideal for moisture-deficient or high mechanical stress environments.

This fiber has good dielectric properties and electrical resistivity. This makes it suitable for applications requiring good electrical insulation.

The industrial sectors that use rubber hoses produced with polyester are:

Gas sector: polyester are used as reinforcement materials in rubber membranes, used in the gas sector for the stabilisation of methane and LPG flows.

Pneumatic sector: these fabrics are used as reinforcement materials in rubber hoses, used in the pneumatic sector for the transmission of air or gas under pressure.

Water management sector: polyester are used as reinforcement materials in rubber hoses, used in the water management sector for the transport of water or liquids.

Automotive sector: polyester fabrics are used as reinforcement materials in rubber hoses, used in the automotive sector for the connection of engine components or accessories.

Technofabric S.p.A. is a textile company specialized in the production of a wide range of fabrics for industrial and technical applications. Our strength is vertical integration, which means that we have control over the entire production process, from yarn production to the creation of finished fabrics. This allows us to maintain high quality standards and provide customized solutions to our customers.

Technofabric works with various types of yarn, including aramid, nylon, high tenacity polyester, carbon, and cotton. Each type of yarn has its own unique properties and applications, and Technofabric exploits these materials to create fabrics with specific characteristics and performance. Technofabric's expertise lies in turning ideas into functional, high-performance fabrics. We have the ability to develop tailor-made fabrics to meet customers' particular needs, whether it be durability, strength, flexibility or otherwise.

In addition to their technical capabilities, Technofabric prioritises the value it provides the customer. We are committed to understanding their needs and goals, and then creating fabrics that not only meet those requirements but also exceed expectations in terms of quality, performance, and reliability.
