Polyester Pongee Fabric is a lightweight woven fabric made from 100% polyester DTY yarn with a plain weave construction. Compared with polyester taffeta made from FDY filament yarn, pongee has a softer hand feel, subtle matte appearance, and slight natural flexibility, making it suitable for both outer fabrics and lining applications.
Available in constructions ranging from lightweight 190T and 210T to high-density 300T and 380–420T, the fabric can be selected for different garment, outdoor, bag, and protective cover requirements. A wide range of functional finishing options is available, including PA or PU coating, DWR water-repellent treatment, silver or white coating, calendering, antistatic treatment, downproof finishing, printing, brushing, and TPU membrane lamination.
Soft Hand Feel
DTY polyester yarn gives the fabric a softer and more comfortable hand feel than conventional FDY polyester taffeta.
Lightweight and Flexible Construction
The lightweight woven construction provides slight flexibility while maintaining practical dimensional stability for garment and outdoor textile applications.
Matte Surface Appearance
Polyester Pongee Fabric has a relatively soft, matte appearance, making it suitable for applications where a less glossy surface is preferred.
Multiple Density Options
Regular constructions from 190T to 420T provide options for different fabric weights, densities, and end uses. Higher-density constructions are particularly suitable for lightweight garment and downproof applications.
Wrinkle Resistant and Easy Care
The polyester construction provides good wrinkle resistance, easy washing, quick drying, and practical durability for frequently used textile products.
Extensive Finishing Options
PA coating, PU coating, DWR, calendering, antistatic treatment, downproof finishing, printing, brushing, silver coating, white coating, and TPU lamination can be selected according to the required end use.

Polyester Pongee Fabric can be used as either an outer fabric or lining material depending on the selected density, weight, and finishing.
Garment applications include down jackets, padded jackets, windbreakers, lightweight jackets, sun-protective clothing, children's clothing, and garment linings.
Outdoor and textile applications include rain ponchos, umbrellas, car covers, tents, storage bags, sleeping bag linings, luggage, and bag fabrics.
Lower-density and lighter constructions are suitable for applications where low fabric weight is important, while higher-density pongee can be selected for lightweight garments and applications requiring improved downproof performance after appropriate finishing.
We support customized Polyester Pongee Fabric development according to the buyer's required construction, weight, width, color, appearance, and functional performance.
Available finishing options include PA and PU coating with target water pressure requirements from 1,000 to 8,000 mmH₂O, subject to the selected fabric construction and coating specification.
DWR water-repellent treatment, silver coating, white coating, calendering, antistatic treatment, and downproof finishing are available for different garment and outdoor textile requirements.
Printing and brushing can be applied when specific surface appearance or hand feel is required. TPU membrane lamination is also available for projects requiring a laminated functional fabric construction.
Buyers can provide target specifications, finished product applications, performance requirements, color references, or physical samples for development and quotation.
What is the difference between polyester pongee and polyester taffeta?
Polyester pongee is typically produced with DTY yarn, giving it a softer hand feel, more matte appearance, and slight flexibility. Polyester taffeta commonly uses FDY filament yarn and generally has a crisper hand feel and brighter surface.
What densities of Polyester Pongee Fabric are available?
Regular options include 190T, 210T, 240T, 300T, and high-density 380–420T constructions. The appropriate construction depends on the required weight, hand feel, density, finishing, and final application.
Can polyester pongee be made waterproof?
PA or PU coating can be applied according to the required waterproof performance. Available coating solutions can target water pressure levels from 1,000 to 8,000 mmH₂O depending on the selected fabric construction and coating specification.
Can DWR treatment be added?
Yes. DWR water-repellent treatment is available for applications requiring improved resistance to surface wetting.
Can the fabric be used for down jackets?
Yes. High-density pongee constructions can be used for lightweight down garments. Downproof finishing can also be applied according to the required fabric performance.
Can Polyester Pongee Fabric be laminated with TPU membrane?
Yes. TPU membrane lamination is available as an optional finishing solution for projects requiring a laminated functional fabric structure.
What information should buyers provide for a quotation?
Please provide the required T construction, yarn specification, weight, width, color, finishing process, target performance, application, and estimated order quantity. Reference samples or technical requirements can also be provided for evaluation.
