Applications:

CF Polyester looks, feels, and sews like nylon. You cannot tell the difference just by looking, and technical specifications like strength and stretch are very similar. The big difference is that polyester thread has superior sunlight (UV) and mildew resistance. This means that polyester thread is the first choice for outdoor applications.
