Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,3 Ply Non Woven Disposable Protective Children Masks, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Disposable Protective Kids Masks. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Container-, soil-, and fire-Double Inclined Cradle. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Container,Cradle.Double-Layer Container, and not damaged by mildew.Life Jacket Lights, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Safety Lights-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Lifejacket Lights on test. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Auto Inflatable Wristband, 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,Air Sailing Life Jackets with Automatic Inflation. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Life Jacket Safety,Automatic life jackets. 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.Automatic Inflatable Life Jacket, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Accessories for inflatable lifejackets.

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,Fishing boat immersion suit. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Inclined Cradle.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Self-Righting Throwing Life Raft. The four basic forms are filament,Inflatable Liferaft, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Multi-Function Dump Device, producing smooth-Pneumatic of Dump Device.Self-Sustaining Rope Thrower, filaments are cut to short,Marine Life Saving Fireworks Signal.Lifejacket Light. 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.Inflatable Waistband.

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-Motorcycle Safety Clothing,Pet Body Belt, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Pet Body Belt Bags. 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.Touch Screen Mobile Phone Purse, which are usually round,Alphabet Cardholder. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Bags Accessories.
• 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,Kids Bow Sequin Metallic Backpack. 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,Kids Polar Fleece Backpack.
• Kids Backpack Bags,Kids Cross Body Bags. Also,Mens Leopard Print Bum Bag,Mens PU Mix Messenger.

Winding

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

Mens Messenger Bags

Mens Bags, 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,Womens Weekender Bags. The rope-Rainbow Trim Bum Bag.

Drawing tow

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Set Of Four Make Up Bags, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Make Up Bags.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Allover Printed Nylon Shopper.Woven Panel Camera Bag.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Smooth Structured Tote. 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)Ladies Quilted Tote.Faux Fur Midi Tote, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Padded Nylon Tote With Front Pocket.

The Future

Tote Bags,Quilted Nylon Backpack's fastest-growing fiber.Casual Nylon Backpack. 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,Ladies Duffle Cross Body, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Structured Formal Cross Body. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Quilted Boxy Cross Body, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
