Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Protective Clothing, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Medical Digital Non-Contact Forehead Infrared Thermometer. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Digital No Touch Medical Gun Body Forehead Infrared Thermometer-, soil-, and fire-Digital wall mounted thermometer With Automatic Alarm System. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.handsfree automatic wall mounted sensor digital thermometer,KN95 Face Mask with Valve.Disposable Protective Masks For Adults, and not damaged by mildew.3 Ply Non Woven Disposable Protective Children Masks, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Disposable Protective Kids Masks-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Container. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Double Inclined Cradle, 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,Container. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Cradle,Double-Layer Container. 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.Life Jacket Lights, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Safety Lights.

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,Lifejacket Lights on test. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Auto Inflatable Wristband.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Air Sailing Life Jackets with Automatic Inflation. The four basic forms are filament,Life Jacket Safety, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Automatic life jackets, producing smooth-Automatic Inflatable Life Jacket.Accessories for inflatable lifejackets, filaments are cut to short,Fishing boat immersion suit.Inclined Cradle. 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.Self-Righting Throwing Life Raft.

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-Inflatable Liferaft,Multi-Function Dump Device, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Pneumatic of Dump Device. 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.Self-Sustaining Rope Thrower, which are usually round,Marine Life Saving Fireworks Signal. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Lifejacket Light.
• 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,Inflatable Waistband. 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,Motorcycle Safety Clothing.
• Pet Body Belt,Pet Body Belt Bags. Also,Touch Screen Mobile Phone Purse,Alphabet Cardholder.

Winding

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

Bags Accessories

Kids Bow Sequin Metallic Backpack, 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,Kids Polar Fleece Backpack. The rope-Kids Backpack Bags.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Kids Cross Body Bags.Mens Leopard Print Bum Bag.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Mens PU Mix Messenger, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Mens Messenger Bags.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Mens Bags.Womens Weekender Bags.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Rainbow Trim Bum Bag. 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)Set of Four Holiday.Beauty Case Bags, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Set Of Four Make Up Bags.

The Future

Make Up Bags,Allover Printed Nylon Shopper's fastest-growing fiber.Woven Panel Camera Bag. 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,Smooth Structured Tote, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Ladies Quilted Tote. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Faux Fur Midi Tote, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
