Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Precision Tungsten Steel EDM, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Tungsten Steel Slow Wire Processing. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Tungsten Steel Processing-, soil-, and fire-Tungsten Steel Round Bar. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Tungsten Steel Sheet,Tungsten Steel Fine Grinding Rod.Tungsten Steel Threading Hole Rod, and not damaged by mildew.Tungsten Steel Needle Gauge, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Tungsten Steel Measuring Tool-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Tungsten Steel Plug Gauge. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Non-magnetic Tungsten Steel, the first synthetic fiber. Soon after, in the years 1939-41, British research chemists took interest in the du Pont studies and conducted their own research in the laboratories of Calico Printers Association, Ltd. This work resulted in the creation of the polyester fiber known in England as Terylene.

In 1946,Carbide Safety Hammer. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.KF12 Tungsten Steel Round Bar for High Speed Stamping,EDM Tungsten Steel Sheet Material. Today, there are two primary types of polyester, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PCDT (poly-1, 4-cyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate). PET, the more popular type, is applicable to a wider variety of uses.GF20 Tungsten Steel Sheet, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Cemented Carbide Ball.

Raw Materials

Polyester is a chemical term which can be broken intopoly,meaning many, andester,a basic organic chemical compound. The principle ingredient used in the manufacture of polyester is ethylene,Tungsten Steel Ball. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,ST7 Hard Alloy Core For Cold Heading Die.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.K44 Tungsten Steel Fine Grinding Rod. The four basic forms are filament,Tungsten Steel Single Straight Hole Threaded Round Rod With, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,TSF44 Tungsten Steel Carving Knife, producing smooth-JG Coordinate Grinding.Tungsten Carbide Steel, filaments are cut to short,Stretch Stamping Die.Powder Metallurgy Mold. Tow is a form in which continuous filaments are drawn loosely together. Fiberfill is the voluminous form used in the manufacture of quilts, pillows, and outerwear.Motor Progressive Die.

Manufacturing Filament Yarn

Polymerization

• 1 To form polyester, dimethyl terephthalate is first reacted with ethylene glycol in the presence of a catalyst at a temperature of 302-410°F (150-210°C).
• 2 The resulting chemical, a monomer (single, non-repeating molecule) alcohol, is combined with terephthalic acid and raised to a temperature of 472°F (280°C). Newly-Stainless Steel LED Mould,Terminal Stamping Die, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Wire Drawing Core Die. The material is cut into tiny chips and completely dried to prevent irregularities in consistency.

Melt spinning

• 4 Polymer chips are melted at 500-518°F (260-270°C) to form a syrup-like solution.IC Semiconductor Packaging Mold, which are usually round,Lead Frame Mold. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Lithium Battery Mould.
• 5 At the spinning stage, other chemicals may be added to the solution to make the resulting material flame retardant, antistatic, or easier to dye.

Drawing the fiber

• 6 When polyester emerges from the spinneret,Cemented Carbide Mould. The stretching forces the random polyester molecules to align in a parallel formation. This increases the strength, tenacity, and resilience of the fiber. This time, when the filaments dry,Brass Clamp for pipe.
• BSPT Brass Compression Fitting,462 MBL x MI Elbow. Also,363 MBL x FI Socket,MBL Fitting.

Winding

• 8 After the polyester yarn is drawn, it is wound on large bobbins or flat-wound packages, ready to be woven into material.

Hose Fitting PEX

Flexible hose fitting, polymerization, drying, and melt spinning (steps 1-4 above) are much the same as in the manufacture of filament yarn. However, in the melt spinning process,319 Extension Fitting. The rope-Brass Fitting.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-414 MI x FI Elbow.ecFIT Brass Threaded Fitting.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,319 Extension Fitting, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).NPT Brass Threaded Fitting.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Brass Threaded Fitting.BSPT Brass Threaded Fitting.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,312 MI x Socket. Polyester that will be blended with cotton is cut in 1.25-1.50 inch (3.2-3.8 cm) pieces; for rayon blends, 2 inch (5 cm)Galvanized Fitting.Nickel Plated Fitting, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)653 Wallplated Tee.

The Future

Brass Compression Fitting,Chrome Plated Fitting's fastest-growing fiber.ecFIT Brass Fitting. However, polyester has suffered an "image problem" since that time, and clothes made out of polyester were often devalued and even ridiculed. Several new forms of polyester introduced in the early 1990s may help revitalize the image of polyester. A new form of polyester fiber,ecFIT Brass Compression Fitting, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,401 C x Elbow. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.323 Stop End, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
