Description
[Eastman Chemical, TN] A registered trademark for a series of polyester staple and filament fibers. The original Kodel® fiber introduced in 1958 (now labeled as the 200 series) is a PCDT material prepared from dimethyl terephthalate and 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol. Newer Kodel® fibers (400 series) are made from polyethylene terephthalate and have characteristics similar to Dacron®. The 200 series Kodel® fiber is a white and is easily dyed. It has good dimensional stability and wear resistance. Kodel® is used for carpets and easy care apparel. It is often blended with cotton to produce crease resistant garment fabrics. Kodel® is also used for fiberfill because it has good resilience and is nonallergenic.
