History

In 1926,Pex-A Pipe-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.PPR Copper Coupler. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,PPR Copper Reducer, 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,PPR Copper Elbow 90°. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.PPR Copper Elbow 45°,PPR Copper Reduction Tee. 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.PPR Copper Female Tee, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.PPR Copper Male Tee.

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,PPR Copper Female Socket. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,PPR Copper Fittings.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.PPR Male Adapter. The four basic forms are filament,Elbow with Female Coupling, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Under Plaster Group, producing smooth-Double Female Elbow.PPR Pipe Clip, filaments are cut to short,PPR Female Union.PPR Female Threaded Union. 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.Plastic Union.

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-PPR Handle Wheel Stop Valves,PERT Stop Valve, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,PPR Radiator Stop Valve 180°. 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.PPR Type Y Stop Valve, which are usually round,PPR Stop Valve. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,PPR Plastic Ball Valve 32mm.
• 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,PPR Plastic Ball Valve 40mm. 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,PPR Fiber Glass Composite Pipes Sdr6 S2.5 Pn25.
• high tensile strength pure gum rubber sheet,Silicone CG Brown - 50A. Also,Silicone CG Black - 50A,General Purpose Rubber - 60A.

Winding

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

GASKET, 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,Owl Tea Light Candle Holder with Tealights. The rope-Colored Glass Lantern Candle Holder.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Wedding Table Centerpieces Rotary Candle Holder, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Tabletop Wedding Decorative Rotary Candle Holder.

Setting

The Future

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,Glass Rotary Candle Holder, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Rotary Tea Light Candle Holder. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Cylinder Rotary Candle Holder, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
