Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,PU And RUBBER Leather Low Cut Safety Shoes, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.PU Low Cut Split Embossed Leather Safety Shoes. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Leather Surface PU Safety Shoes-, soil-, and fire-Textile Surface PU bottom Safety Shoes. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.PU Safety Shoes,PU Low Cut Safety Shoes.Textile Surface PU Bottom Safety Shoes, and not damaged by mildew.PU Textile Safety Shoes, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Waterproof PU Low Cut Safety Shoes-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Split Embossed Leather Sandal Safety Shoes. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Low Cut Microfiber Safety Shoes, 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,Microfiber PU Low Cut Safety Shoes. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Split Embossed Leather PU Boots Safety Shoes,PU High Cut Safety Shoes. 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.PU Mid Cut Hiking Safety Shoes, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Hiking Safety Shoes.

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,Leather PVC Bottom Safety Shoes. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,PU And RUBBER Low Cut Safety Shoes.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Embossed Leather Safety Shoes. The four basic forms are filament,Low Cut Textile Surface Safety Shoes, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,PU Low Cut Textile Safety Shoes, producing smooth-Shockproof And Wearable Safety Shoes.RUBBER Low Cut Textile Surface Safety Shoes, filaments are cut to short,Leather PU Bottom Safety Shoes.Waterproof Leather Safety Shoes. 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.Suede Leather Safety Shoes.

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-Split Embossed Leather Safety Shoes,RUBBER Low Cut Safety Shoes, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Offset Print  Low Cut Safety Shoes. 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.PVC Mid Cut Safety Shoes, which are usually round,KF12 Tungsten Steel Round Bar. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Tungsten Steel A Punch.
• 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,PG Punch. 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,ASP-23 Forming Punch.
• High-speed Steel Titanium-plated Punch,Non-standard Tapping Punch. Also,KD20 Tungsten Steel Punch,CD650 Tungsten Steel Punch Needle.

Winding

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

WF15 Tungsten Steel Thimble, 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,MC20 Tungsten Steel Notch Punch. The rope-RD50 Tungsten Steel Flat Needle.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-KG7 Tungsten Steel Insert.SKD61 Division Tube.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Tungsten Steel Notch Punch, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Son And Mother Punch.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Pulling Teeth And Punching Needles.SKD61 Division Needle.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,PG Optical Grinding Processing. 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)Archie Oil Cutting Processing.Centerless Grinding Precision Machining, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Precision Tungsten Steel EDM.

The Future

Tungsten Steel Slow Wire Processing,Tungsten Steel Processing's fastest-growing fiber.Tungsten Steel Round Bar. 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,Tungsten Steel Sheet, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Tungsten Steel Fine Grinding Rod. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Tungsten Steel Threading Hole Rod, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
