Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Self Alarm Scream Tag, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Mini Wine Tag With Strap. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;AM Jewelry Security Hang Tag Label-, soil-, and fire-Customized Label. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Narrow AM Anti Theft Label Barcode,Slim AM Anti Theft Label Multiple Colors.AM Anti Theft Label, and not damaged by mildew.AM Soft Labels, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Big Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Laboratory Tube Freezer. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Small Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator, 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,Upright Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Mini Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator,Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerators. 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.4 Degree Display Laboratory Refrigerator, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Laboratory Refrigerator.

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,Deep Cryogenic Car Freezer. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Deep Low Temp Car Freezer.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Portable Low Temp Car Freezer. The four basic forms are filament,Low Temp Car Freezer, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Car Freezer, producing smooth-Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer .Small Deep Low Temperature Freezer , filaments are cut to short,Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer .Ultra Low Cryogenic Freezer . 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.Ultra Deep Cold Temperature Freezer .

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-Cold Medical Freezer,Ultra Low Temperature Medical Freezer , is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Upright Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer. 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.Mini Chest Deep Low Temp Refrigerator, which are usually round,So-cold Temp Medical Freezer. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Chest Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer.
• 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,Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer. 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,Temperature Controlled Shakers.
• 2-8 Degrees Glass Door Pharmacy Vaccine Refrigerator,Visible Display Pharmacy Refrigerator . Also,Mini Display Pharmacy Refrigerator ,Small Display Pharmacy Refrigerator .

Winding

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

Display Medical Refrigerator

Display Vaccine Refrigerator , 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,Big Vaccine Refrigerator . The rope-Vaccine Refrigerator.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Display Medical Pharmacy Fridge .Glass Door Display Fridge .

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Big Display Fridge , at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Mini Blood Bank Refrigerator .

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Display Blood Bank Refrigerator .Big Blood Bank Refrigerator .

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Medical Refrigerator. 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)Carbon Steel Yellow Zinc Plated Hit Anchor with Flange Nut.Carbon Steel Yellow Zinc Plated Pin Anchor with Conical Washer, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Hit Anchor.

The Future

Shield Anchor,Carbon Steel Zinc Plated Hollow Wall Anchor's fastest-growing fiber.Carbon Steel Zinc Plated Hollow Wall Anchor with O Hook. 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,Hollow Wall Anchor, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Carnon Steel Yellow Zinc Plated Express Nail. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Mushroom Head Stainless Steel Pin, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
