It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;BG-860 Multifunctional Spraying Machine-, soil-, and fire-BG-870 Multifunctional Spraying Machine. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.BG-930 Multifunctional Spraying Machine,Multifunctional Cement Mortar Spraying Machine.Cement Mortar Spray Machine, and not damaged by mildew.Food Additives, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,PS Phosphatidylserine-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Phosphatidylserine. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,super soya lecithin, 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,Soy Lecithin granules. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Soyabean Lecithin,Soy Lecithin Powder. 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.Soya Lecithin, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Food Additives.

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,Natural Phospholipids. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Natural Lecithin.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Modified Lecithin. The four basic forms are filament,Sunflower Lecithin, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Food Grade Sunflower Lecithin, producing smooth-Natural Lecithin.Sodium Saccharin BP/USP/GMP, filaments are cut to short,Sodium Saccharin CAS 6155-57-3.Sodium Saccharin 40-80 MESH. 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.Anhydrous Sodium Saccharin CAS 128-44-9.

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-Feed Grade Sodium Saccharin,Insoluble Saccharin CAS 81-07-2, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Sodium Saccharin for Food and Beverage. 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.Soda ash, which are usually round,Musk Xylene With Crystal Powder. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,100% Natural Musk Ketone Powder.
• 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,Musk ketone CAS 81-14-1. 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,Light Magnesium Oxide CAS 1309-48-4.
• Caustic Soda,Caustic Soda CAS 1310-73-2. Also,Sodium Hydrosulphite,Calcium lignosulphonate.

Winding

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

Calcium lignosulphonate CAS 8061-52-7

Choline Chloride Corn Cob, 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,Calcium Gluconate CAS 299-28-5. The rope-Ferrous Gluconate CAS 299-29-6.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Sodium Alginate CAS 9005-38-3.Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Food Thickener, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Aspartame CAS 22839-47-0.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Lactose powder CAS 63-42-3.Sucralose CAS 56038-13-2.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Maltitol CAS 585-88-6. 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)Food Sweetener.Potassium Sorbate CAS 24634-61-5, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Food Preservatives.

The Future

Ethyl Vanillin CAS 121-32-4,Food Flavoring Agents's fastest-growing fiber.Food Additives. 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,standard ball bearing, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,ball screw bearings. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.linear guide module, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
