Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Swing Check Valve, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Threaded Check Valve. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Lcc Flanged Check Valve Class 150#-, soil-, and fire-Check Valve. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Grooved Ductile Iron Ball Valve,Grooved Ball Valve.Ductile Iron Ball Valve Full Port, and not damaged by mildew.2pc Cast Steel Ball Valve Full Port 2500-5000wog, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Ductile Iron Bolted Ball Valve Reduced Port 1000-2000wog-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Bolted Ball Valve. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Cast Steel Bolted Ball Valve Reduced Port 3000wog, 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 1946,4c Bolted Ball Valve Full Port 5000wog. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Cast Steel Floating Flanged Ball Valve Class 150#,Cast Steel Floating Flanged Ball Valve Class 600#. 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.Stainless Steel Floating Flanged Ball Valve Class 150#, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Trunnion Ball Valve.

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,Cast Iron Flanged Ball Valve. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Cast Iron Floating Flanged Ball Valve JIS 10k.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Ball Valve JIS 10k. The four basic forms are filament,Ball Valve ANSI, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Stainless Steel Floating Flanged Ball Valve Class, producing smooth-Cast Iron Floating Flanged Ball Valve JIS 16k.Flnaged Ball Valve, filaments are cut to short,Ball Valve.Custom Printed Your Own Logo Cardboard Packaging Yellow Brown Kraft Gift Craft Shopping Paper Bag with Handles. 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.To Go Containers Food Disposable Wheat Straw Bento Box Microwavable Lunch.

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-Compostable Grease Proof Bagasse Pulp Lunch Packaging Box Food Container,Gift Card Carrier Box, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Hexagon Box. 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.Paper Box With Custom Logo, which are usually round,Round Paper Cardboard Gift Box. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Custom Luxury Jewelry Case.
• 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,Aluminum Foil Bag. 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,Bags&Pouches.
• Stone Paper Bags,Stone Paper Books. Also,Stone Paper Eco Friendly Tissue Holder,Stone Carton Board 2mm.

Winding

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

Stone Carton Board 3mm

Stone Paper Carton Board, 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,Stone Paper Film 60um. The rope-Stone Paper Film.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Stone Card Paper 250um.Stone Paper 180um.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Stone Paper Soft, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Full Automatic Marshmallow Production Line.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Deposited Marshmallow Line.Full Automatic Extruded Marshmallow Production Line.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Popping Boba Line. 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)Chocolate Blocks Guitar Cutter.Chocolate Slicing Machine, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Small Chocolate Machine.

The Future

Chocolate Enrobing Line,Chocolate Tempering Machine's fastest-growing fiber.Chocolate Blocks Crusher. 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,Chocolate Paste Making Equipment, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Chocolate Forming Moulds. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Chocolate Moulds, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
