The old name of polyester fiber is "Dacron." Dacron was a trademark name created by the DuPont company in the 1950s for their polyester fiber, which became widely used in textiles and apparel. The term "polyester" itself refers to the broader category of synthetic fibers made from polyester resin.
synthetic polyester or many different types of fabric or something similar
Not always, although the term is widely used for plastics such as polystyrene and polyethylene, and for artificial fibers such as Dacron, which like plastic bottles is a form of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). There are some natural polyesters. A "polyester" is any natural or synthetic polymer (repeated chain molecule) containing esters. But the term is usually applied to two groups of synthesized molecules: thermoplastics and thermosets.
Top polyester refers to the high-quality, staple fibers made from polyester that are typically used in textiles and fabrics, offering a soft feel and good durability. Tow polyester, on the other hand, consists of continuous filaments that are often used in applications like insulation or as reinforcement in composites. While top polyester is generally suited for clothing and upholstery, tow polyester is more commonly used in industrial and technical applications.
Hollow fiber is a type of fiber that can be made from various materials, including polyester. In the context of textiles, hollow fiber polyester refers specifically to polyester fibers that have a hollow core, which enhances insulation and breathability. This structure makes hollow fiber polyester a popular choice for insulation in clothing, bedding, and outdoor gear, as it is lightweight and retains heat effectively.
The strength of polyester fabric is typically measured by its denier (d), which refers to the thickness of the fibers. A 240d (denier) polyester fabric is generally stronger than a 240g (grams) fabric, as denier indicates a heavier and thicker fiber that can withstand more stress and wear. Therefore, 240d polyester is likely to be more durable and resilient compared to 240g polyester.
190T refers to the thread count. A higher number means more threads per inch.I am not sure, but I believe that denier refers to the thickness of the thread. Thicker is stronger but rougher. See this question for details:Is_1200_denier_polyester_better_than_600_denier_polyester
Polyester is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Although there are many polyesters, the term "polyester" as a specific material most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyesters include naturally occurring chemicals, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics through step-growth polymerization such as polycarbonate and polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not.Depending on the chemical structure, polyester can be a thermoplastic or thermoset; however, the most common polyesters are thermoplastics.

MTR - Maximum Thermal Retention Fleece is a generic term for just about any fabric. Generally it is synthetic blend of fibers. On the tag, it is usually referred to as polyester. Also, the term olefin is another synthetic blend. Fleece can be made from cotton or polyester.
