History

In 1926,Sauna Room TV-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.32 Inch Batroom TV Mirror. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,43 Inch Batroom TV Mirror, 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,Bathroom TV Tempered Glass. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Bathroom TVs,Outdoor TV Enclosure 55 Inch. 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.Outdoor TV Enclosure 65 Inch, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Outdoor TV Enclosure.

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,QLED Outdoor TV 2000 Brightness. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,QLED Outdoor Waterproof TV 1500 brightness.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Outdoor TVs Full Sun. The four basic forms are filament,Outdoor TVs, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Skylight TPU Film PPF, producing smooth-Skylight Film PPF.Transparent TPH PPF Car Paint Protection Film, filaments are cut to short,PPF Carbon Fiber Paint Protection Film.TPH PPF. 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.Transparent TPU PPF Car Paint Protection Film.

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-Self-Healing TPU Polyurethane PPF Car Wrap Film,TPU PPF, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Self Adhesive Marble Texture Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film. 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.Self Adhesive Wood Grain Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film, which are usually round,Disposable Quarantine Clothing CPE Film. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Embossed CPE Film.
• 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,CPE Film. 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,Anti-Fog PET Film Sheet for Protective Mask Face Shield.
• Super Clear Transparent PET Film Sheet,Transparent PET Film. Also,Matte TPU Film,Foggy Plastic TPU Film.

Winding

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

Printable TPU Film

Eco-Friendly Embossed Vinyl Film Sheet, 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,Embossed Matte Soft PVC Film. The rope-Embossed Color Flexible PVC Film.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Anti-Yellow Embossed Soft Vinyl Film.Embossed PVC Film.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film Roll, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Fluorescent Color Translucent Soft PVC Film.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Lamination Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film.Lamination Plastic Soft PVC Sheet.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Waterproof Flexible Plastic PVC Film. 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)Matte Normal Clear Translucent Soft Vinyl Film.Non-Toxic Transparent Flexible PVC Film, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)0.05mm Normal Clear Transparent Flexible PVC Film.

The Future

Normal Clear Soft PVC Film Vinyl Sheet,Normal Clear PVC Film's fastest-growing fiber.Flame Retardant Flexible Vinyl Film. 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,Eco-Friendly Crystal Clear Soft PVC Film, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,High Glossy Super Clear Transparent Soft Plastic PVC Film. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Antistatic Super Clear Soft PVC Film, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
