Polyester

Background

Modified Lecithin, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Sunflower Lecithin. In this reaction,Food Grade Sunflower Lecithin.Natural Lecithin.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Sodium Saccharin BP/USP/GMP, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Sodium Saccharin CAS 6155-57-3. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Sodium Saccharin 40-80 MESH-, soil-, and fire-Anhydrous Sodium Saccharin CAS 128-44-9. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Feed Grade Sodium Saccharin,Insoluble Saccharin CAS 81-07-2.Sodium Saccharin for Food and Beverage, and not damaged by mildew.Soda ash, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Musk Xylene With Crystal Powder-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.100% Natural Musk Ketone Powder. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Musk ketone CAS 81-14-1, 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,Light Magnesium Oxide CAS 1309-48-4. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Caustic Soda,Caustic Soda CAS 1310-73-2. 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.Sodium Hydrosulphite, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Calcium lignosulphonate.

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,Calcium lignosulphonate CAS 8061-52-7. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Choline Chloride Corn Cob.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Calcium Gluconate CAS 299-28-5. The four basic forms are filament,Ferrous Gluconate CAS 299-29-6, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Sodium Alginate CAS 9005-38-3, producing smooth-Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2.Food Thickener, filaments are cut to short,Aspartame CAS 22839-47-0.Lactose powder CAS 63-42-3. 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.Sucralose CAS 56038-13-2.

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-Maltitol CAS 585-88-6,Food Sweetener, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Potassium Sorbate CAS 24634-61-5. 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.Food Preservatives, which are usually round,Ethyl Vanillin CAS 121-32-4. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Food Flavoring Agents.
• 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,Food Additives. 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,standard ball bearing.
• ball screw bearings,linear guide module. Also,Cable Drag Chain,Laser Cutting Machine.

Winding

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

Cutting Machine

1325 Cutting Machine For Sales, 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,CNC Machine. The rope-Cable Drag Chain.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Linear Bearing Lm8uu.Lme 30 uu Linear Bearing.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Linear Bearing 20x28x30, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Linear Bearing 60mm.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Linear Bearing For 8mm Shaft.1/2 Inch Linear Bearing.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Linear Ball Bearing. 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)Lmf 20 uu Linear Bearing.Linear Bearing Flange, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Ball Screw Linear Module.

The Future

Carbon Steel Linear Motion Shaft,Linear Hollow Shaft's fastest-growing fiber.Linear Round Shaft. 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,Linear Shaft Servo Motor, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,16mm Linear Shaft. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.10mm Linear Shaft, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
