History

In 1926,Zebra Blinds ZB-01-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Zebra Blinds. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1002, 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,Blackout Blinds Jacquard. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Blackout Blinds Plain RB-P01/P02,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks. 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.Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1001, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Blackout Blinds.

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,Roller Blinds. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,EVA Carpet Indoor Playground Fitting.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Ocean Ball Indoor Playground Fitting. The four basic forms are filament,Wall Mat Indoor Playground Fitting, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Globe Turntable Indoor Playground Equipment, producing smooth-The Interesting Spider Tower Indoor Playground Equipment.Trampoline Boxing Indoor Playground Equipment, filaments are cut to short,Animal Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. 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.Ship Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.

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-Animal Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Snowman Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Watermelon Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. 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.Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, which are usually round,Animal Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Motorcycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.
• 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,Robot Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. 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,Aircraft Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.
• Horse Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Bicycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. Also,Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Children Trampoline Indoor Playground.

Winding

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

The Future

Sand Pond Indoor Playground,20-100 Square Meters Indoor Playground's fastest-growing fiber.Large Comprehensive Indoor Playground. 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,Big Ball Pool Indoor Playground, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,High-rise Indoor Playground. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Theme Indoor Playground, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
