Polyester

Background

Silver Clad Copper Strip, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Silver Clad. In this reaction,Semi Tubular Brass Rivet.Brass Tubular Rivet.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Solid Brass Rivet, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Solid Copper Rivets. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Copper Rivet-, soil-, and fire-Silver Contact Points. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Electrical Contact Rivets,Silver Tungsten Electrical Contact.Moving Contact Rivets, and not damaged by mildew.Cervical Secretion IGFBP-1 PROM Test Strip, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Cervical Secretion IGFBP-1 PROM Test-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.IGFBP-1 PROM Test. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Urine FSH Menopause Test Device, 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,LH Ovulation Test. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Serum HCG Pregnancy Test,Urine hCG Pregnancy Test Strip. 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.Clip Cap, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Cotton Tip Applicators.

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,Capsicum Plaster. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Non-woven Surgical Tape.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Silk Surgical Tape. The four basic forms are filament,Weelchairs, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Analog Hearing Aid, producing smooth-Fully Automatic Blood Pressure Measure（Sphygmomanometers） With Spo2 Measure Function.Infra-red Ear Thermometer With Fever Alarm, filaments are cut to short,Infra-red Ear Thermometer With Switchable Dual Scale.Character Digital Thermometer. 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.Digital Thermometer With Soft Tip.

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-Digital Thermometers,Figertip Pulse Oximeter, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Medical Oxygen Concentrator. 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.Neoprene Rubber O Rings, which are usually round,Yellow Modified PTFE Gasket Sheet with silica filled. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Type D Flange Insulation Gasket.
• 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,Fluorine Rubber Gaskets. 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,Styrene-Butadiene Rubber Gaskets.
• Nitrile Rubber Gaskets,Asbestos Gasket Sheet. Also,flange Isolation gasket kits,Insulating Flange Kits.

Winding

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

Flange Insulation Kit Distributor

Flange Insulation Gasket Kit, 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,Corrugated Graphite Tapes. The rope-Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant Roll Tape.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Expanded PTFE joint Sealant Spool.PTFE Thread Sealant Tapes.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,PTFE Sealant Tape, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).NBR Rubber O Rings.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Rubber O Rings.Black Natural Rubber Gasket.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Non-Asbestos Ring Flange Gaskets. 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)Non Asbestos Ring Gasket.Modified PTFE Gasket, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Solid Copper Gasket.

The Future

Kammprofile Gasket with Integral Outer Ring,Corrugated Jacketed Gasket's fastest-growing fiber.Corrugated Graphite Gasket. 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,Corrugated Gasket, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Corrugated Metal Gaskets. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Standard Spiral Wound Gasket, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
