- Its resistance to sunlight (UV) is superior to nylon. But, there may be some loss of strength with prolonged sunlight exposure.
- Is as strong as nylon thread.
- Stands up to heat but is not fire retardant. It sticks at 445°F, and melts at 483°F.
- Polyester thread has excellent resistance to bleaches and other oxidizing agents and is generally insoluble.
- Polyester thread has excellent resistance to bleaches and other oxidizing agents and most mineral acids and weak alkalis.
