Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Kids Backpack Bags, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Kids Cross Body Bags. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Mens Leopard Print Bum Bag-, soil-, and fire-Mens PU Mix Messenger. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Mens Messenger Bags,Mens Bags.Womens Weekender Bags, and not damaged by mildew.Rainbow Trim Bum Bag, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Set of Four Holiday-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Beauty Case Bags. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Set Of Four Make Up Bags, 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,Make Up Bags. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Allover Printed Nylon Shopper,Woven Panel Camera Bag. 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.Smooth Structured Tote, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Ladies Quilted Tote.

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,Faux Fur Midi Tote. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Padded Nylon Tote With Front Pocket.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Tote Bags. The four basic forms are filament,Quilted Nylon Backpack, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Casual Nylon Backpack, producing smooth-Ladies Duffle Cross Body.Structured Formal Cross Body, filaments are cut to short,Quilted Boxy Cross Body.Ladies Monogram Hobo. 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.Ladies Twist Handle Medium Hobo.

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-Work Bags,Womens Bags, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Belt Sander. 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.Plate-Type Cutting Center, which are usually round,Hot-press Machine. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Hydraulic Shearing Machine.
• 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,Three Wide Belts Sanding Machine. 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,Floating Primer Sander.
• NC Tenoning Machine,Cnc Double Side Tenon Machine Computer. Also,CNC Double-end Tenoning Machine 6 Spindles,Four-side Moulder .

Winding

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

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Automatic Up-down Multi-blades Rip Saw.Edging Saw Bottom.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Automatic Single-chip Vertical Saw, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).CNC Machine With Automatic Tool Change.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Five-axis Machining Center.Machining Center.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Three-row Drill. 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)Multi-row Drill.Multi-row Drill, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Dring Center.

The Future

Manual Edge Banding Machine,Pre-milling Edge Banding Machine With Tracking's fastest-growing fiber.Oxybenzenesulfonate Sodium. 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,Eco Friendly Refrigerant Gas R508, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,99.9% Purity Refrigerant Gas R508b. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Refrigerant Gas R23, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
