Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Zebra Blinds ZB-05, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Zebra Blinds ZB-03. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Zebra Blinds ZB-02-, soil-, and fire-Zebra Blinds ZB-01. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Zebra Blinds,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1002.Blackout Blinds Jacquard, and not damaged by mildew.Blackout Blinds Plain RB-P01/P02, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1001. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Blackout Blinds, 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,Roller Blinds. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.EVA Carpet Indoor Playground Fitting,Ocean Ball Indoor Playground Fitting. 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.Wall Mat Indoor Playground Fitting, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Globe Turntable Indoor Playground Equipment.

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,The Interesting Spider Tower Indoor Playground Equipment. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Trampoline Boxing Indoor Playground Equipment.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Animal Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The four basic forms are filament,Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Ship Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, producing smooth-Animal Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.Snowman Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, filaments are cut to short,Watermelon Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.Turnplate 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.Animal Turntable 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-Motorcycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Robot Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Aircraft Turntable 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.Horse Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, which are usually round,Bicycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,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,Children Trampoline Indoor Playground. 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,Kids Trampoline Indoor Playground.
• Adult Trampoline Indoor Playground,200-300 Square Meters Forest Theme Indoor Playground. Also,300-500 Square Meters Forest Theme Indoor Playground,100-200 Square Meters Colorful Theme 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

Theme Indoor Playground,Indoor Playground's fastest-growing fiber.High Temperature Flange Insulation Kits. 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,Flange Insulation Kit Gasket, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Flange Bolt Insulation Kits. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Flange Insulation Kit Gaskets, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
