Classification of synthetic fibers, organized by their chemical structure and typical applications:

1. Polyamide Fibers

These are made by polycondensation of diamines and dicarboxylic acids.
Examples:

• Nylon 6,6 – Excellent strength, abrasion resistance; used in apparel, ropes, tire cords.

• Nylon 6 – Slightly softer than 6,6; used in stockings, carpets, sportswear.

2. Polyester Fibers

Derived from polycondensation of diols and dicarboxylic acids.
Examples:

• PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) – Wrinkle-resistant, durable; used in clothing, home furnishings, bottles.

• PTT (Polytrimethylene Terephthalate) – Elasticity close to spandex; used in carpets and activewear.

3. Polyolefin Fibers

Made from olefin monomers (ethylene, propylene).
Examples:

• Polypropylene (PP) – Lightweight, hydrophobic; used in ropes, carpets, geotextiles.

• Polyethylene (PE) – Used in fishing nets, industrial applications.

4. Acrylic & Modacrylic Fibers

Formed from acrylonitrile (≥85% for acrylic, 35–85% for modacrylic).
Examples:

• Acrylic – Wool-like feel; used in sweaters, blankets, upholstery.

• Modacrylic – Flame-resistant; used in protective clothing, wigs, faux fur.

5. Elastomeric Fibers

Known for exceptional stretch and recovery.
Examples:

• Spandex (Elastane) – Can stretch up to 500%; used in sportswear, swimwear, compression garments.

• Rubber fibers – Less common, replaced mostly by spandex.

6. Aramid Fibers

Aromatic polyamides known for strength and heat resistance.
Examples:

• Kevlar – High tensile strength; used in body armor, ropes, composites.

• Nomex – Flame-resistant; used in firefighters’ suits, industrial protective wear.

7. Specialty & High-Performance Fibers

Designed for advanced technical applications.
Examples:

• Carbon Fiber – High stiffness and heat resistance; used in aerospace, automotive, sporting goods.

• UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene, e.g., Dyneema, Spectra) – Extremely strong, used in ballistic protection, cut-resistant gloves.

• PBI, PBO (Zylon) – High-temperature stability; used in racing suits, high-performance gear.

♻️ Recycled Fibers Classification

1. Recycled Synthetic Fibers

These are regenerated from post-consumer or post-industrial waste of synthetic materials:

• Recycled Polyester (rPET):

  • Made by melting down used PET bottles or textile waste and re-spinning into fibers.

  • Applications: apparel (T-shirts, jackets), carpets, home textiles.

• Recycled Nylon:

  • Made from fishing nets, carpets, and pre-consumer nylon waste (e.g., ECONYL).

  • Applications: swimwear, hosiery, performance wear, automotive parts.

2. Recycled Natural & Regenerated Fibers

Recycled fibers also include:

• Recycled Cotton & Wool: Mechanical shredding and respinning of fabric waste.

• Regenerated Cellulose (e.g., Viscose, Lyocell) from Waste: Some producers now use pre/post-consumer cotton waste as pulp source.
