Conventional Polyester Fiber

Standard virgin polyester staple fiber.

What people expect

"A commodity product that is the same everywhere."

What actually affects performance

Oil price fluctuations and capacity shifts affect stability. Specification alignment is still key for high-speed production.

Is recycled polyester lower quality than virgin?

It depends on the feedstock. High-quality bottle flakes can yield fiber nearly identical to virgin. Mixed waste or textile-to-textile recycling often results in lower strength and color issues. We spec the right grade for the machine usage.
