The method to distinguish nylon oxford cloth and polyester oxford cloth can be scraped with nails. After the nails are scraped, the polyester oxford cloth with obvious traces is the polyester oxford cloth, and the less obvious trace is the nylon oxford cloth, but this method is not as intuitive and easy to understand as the next method.

Nylon Oxford cloth is white in color after being burned with fire, and the residue after burning becomes plastic. When near the flame, it quickly curls and melts into a white gelatinous shape. It melts and drips and foams in the flame. There is no flame when burning. It is difficult to continue to burn away from the flame, and the light brown molten material is not easily ground after cooling. Nylon Oxford cloth has good elasticity and wear resistance. The dyeing temperature is 100 degrees. It is suitable for neutral or acid dyeing. The high temperature resistance is worse than that of polyester, but the strength is better and the pilling resistance is better.

The polyester Oxford cloth burned with black smoke, and black ash floated up. After burning, the ashes were dark-brown lumps that could be crushed with fingers. The dyeing temperature is 130 degrees, and the hot-melt method is generally baked below 200 degrees. The main features of polyester oxford cloth are good stability. Generally, adding a small amount of polyester to the clothes can help to resist wrinkle and plasticity. The disadvantage is that it is easy to generate static electricity and easy to pilling.

The performance of nylon oxford is better than that of polyester oxford, but the cost is also higher than that of polyester oxford. Nylon oxford is better than polyester oxford in terms of abrasion resistance, stress, color fastness and gloss, and is not prone to wrinkles.
