Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Double-Layer Container,Life Jacket Lights.Safety Lights, and not damaged by mildew.Lifejacket Lights on test, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

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

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,Self-Righting Throwing Life Raft. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Inflatable Liferaft.

The Manufacturing
Process

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

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-Pet Body Belt Bags,Touch Screen Mobile Phone Purse, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

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

Winding

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

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Allover Printed Nylon Shopper, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Woven Panel Camera Bag.

Cutting

The Future

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