Syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) filament

Syndiotactic polystyrene filament with high hydrophobicity and excellent quick-drying properties
General Name
Syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) filament

Syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) filament with a stereo-regular and highly crystalline molecular structure.
It has unique material properties such as high hydrophobicity, excellent quick-drying properties, and heat resistance.

Features

Excellent hydrophobicity

The molecular structure of syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) has excellent hydrophobicity due to its stereo-regularity and high crystallinity.

Comparison of Resin Features

It compensates for the functional weaknesses of polypropylene and polyester.

Comparison of Resin Features

Excellent quick-drying properties

Due to its high crystallinity resulting from the steric regularity of its molecular structure, it has excellent hydrophobicity, so fabrics made with Syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) filament dry quickly of moisture, contributing to improved comfort when worn. Quick-drying performance is about 1.8 times higher than that of polyester. (*In-house test)

Time required for residual moisture content to decrease to 5%

Graph comparing the time required for the residual moisture content of fabrics with Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) fiber and 100% PET to decrease to 5%. Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) fiber blended PET fabric: 5.5 min, PET 100% fabric: 10 min. (* In-house test. Test method: 12 cm square fabric samples were washed and dehydrated in a laundry net, dried at 25°C, 70% RH, and the residual moisture content was calculated from weight measurements).

Test Method
After washing and dehydrating a 12 cm square fabric sample in a laundry net, the sample was dried at 25°C, 70% RH, and the residual moisture content was calculated from the weight measurement.

Stainability

As with PET, dyeing with disperse dye and sublimation printing are possible.
