Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric is dyed rather than printed
Dyed woven fabrics of textured polyester are classified separately.
If the polyester content is below 85% textured but 85% or more total polyester
Classification shifts to other polyester filament fabrics when the textured threshold is not met.
