The distinction between polyester taffeta, polyester pongee, nylon taffta, Taslon
1. From the raw material:
Polyester taffeta is made of 100 polyester. And it is applied to make lining. The polyester taffeta is also made of 100% polyester. And it is in low grade but with many varieties. Nylon fabric is the nylon cloth which we often call. And it is made of chinlon. Taslon is textile cloth which is knitted of pure nylon yarn.
2. From the knitting method:
The knitting method of polyester taffeta and nylon taffta are the same, which belong to one needle up, one needle down knitting method.
Taslon is all belonged to the one needle up, one needle down knitting method. But its warp direction is special thick. And its thickness is the twice of that in the fabric weft direction. Taslon in the cotton cloths is called as grosgrain
Polyester pongee is also in the same knitting method as the above fabrics. But they can be distinguished from the following methods.
3. From touch:
Polyester taffeta and nylon tafftan are similar in the touch feelings, while it is soft to touch the polyester pongee. But it is very acerbity to touch the talson.
It is also a wise choice to adopt the Fabric combustion method when doing comparison. The nylon and polyester can be easily distinguished, because nylon is belonged to Taslon and nylon taffta while polyester belongs to polyester taffeta and polyester pongee. Polyester taffeta and polyester pongee can be distinguished from the hand touch. But the easiest way to distinguish them is from split. When polyester taffeta is done with splits, its torn edges and two sides have deep splits. But the phenomenon can not happen to polyester pongee. When not doing tearing cloth, but to pull the cloth to tow sides along the warp direction with slightly hardness, polyester taffeta can appear "splits", which not happen to polyester pongee.
