I am assuming you are talking about a fabric made from either 1200 or 600 denier yarn. The thickness of the yarn in 1200 denier is twice that of 600 denier, which also implies the fabric will be rougher and ofcourse stronger. If you are looking for strength, 1200 is better. If you want a smoother finish fabric, choose the 600 denier. Hope this helps. Deviprasad
The ballistic nylon will be a higher denier (thickness of the thread). Also will be shiny/glossy compared to the matte finish of polyester. Ballistic nylon will be much more durable and much less likey to tear or scuff. You can get higher denier polyester (900, 1200, 1800) which will be better for wear and tear. The price will reflect this however as 600d poly is low to mid price point whereas the others are higher.
To apply a patch to 600 denier polyester fabric, start by cleaning the area where the patch will be placed to ensure good adhesion. Use a fabric adhesive or an iron-on patch for a secure bond; if using iron-on, place a cloth over the patch and apply heat with an iron set to the appropriate temperature for polyester. Allow it to cool completely before handling. For added durability, consider sewing around the edges of the patch after it has been applied.
No polyester is not a good conductor of electricity, it is a pretty good insulator though.

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.
polyester fibers are formed from a chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol.
Probably the most important way that polyester is better than cotton is that it does not shrink in the drier, unlike cotton; however, cotton is generally softer than polyester.
Polyester is not a good conductor of heat; it is considered a thermal insulator. This means it does not transfer heat efficiently, which is why polyester fabrics are often used in clothing to help retain body heat. Its insulating properties make it suitable for a variety of applications, but it is not ideal for situations where heat conduction is required.
Polyester is water resistant. It is better than other materials (like nylon). I have worn pants with polyester on the outside for skiing and is very good for the snow. Make sure to wear layers if u go skiing. :)
Snooping as usual I see!
Nothing.. Its a terrible fabric.. Like wearing plastic.
