PBT can also be made into yarn. This has a natural stretch similar to Lycra and can
be incorporated into sports wear. Due to its chlorine resistance it is commonly
found in swimwear.[2]

Polyethylene terephthalate
It may also be referred to by the brand name Dacron; in Britain, Terylene;[4] or, in
Russia and the former Soviet Union, Lavsan.
The majority of the world's PET production is for synthetic fibers (in excess of

In the context of textile applications, PET is referred to by its common
name, polyester, whereas the acronym PET is generally used in relation to
packaging. Polyester makes up about 18% of world polymer production and is the
fourth-most-produced polymer; polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP)
and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are first, second and third, respectively.
When filled with glass particles or fibres, it becomes significantly stiffer and more
durable.
