Background

PP Pencil Case, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Multicolor Plastic Pencil Case. In this reaction,Printable Plastic Pencil Case.Solid Color PP Pen Case.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,PP Pen Case With Logo, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Plastic Pen Case. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Pen Case-, soil-, and fire-Silicone Coated Parts. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Silicone Pad,Silicone Gasket.Silicone Sealing Ring, and not damaged by mildew.Silicone Accessories, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Silicone Special-Shaped Waterproof Ring-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Rubber Sealed Loop. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Silicone Pacifier, 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,Silicone Nail Pad. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Silicone Beauty Scrubbing Pad,Silicone Molars. 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.Silicone Baby Bottle Cover, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Silicone Face Brush.

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,Silicone Teether. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Silicone ChildrenS Dinner Plate.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Silicone Pet Placemat. The four basic forms are filament,Silicone Pet Slow Food Device, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Silicone Pet Foot Washing Cup, producing smooth-Silicone Pet Supplies.Silicone Ladies Bag, filaments are cut to short,Silicone Bracelet.Big Silicone Bag. 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.Rabbit Silicone Wallet.

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-Silicone Wallet With A Heart Shape,Silicone Gifts, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Silicone Fresh-Keeping Bag. 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.Silicone Coaster, which are usually round,Silicone Placemat. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Silicone Cake Mould.
• 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,Silicone Soap Dish. 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,Silicone Gloves.
• Bow Silicone Cup Lid,Flower Silicone Lid. Also,Silicone Lid Can Contain Spoon,Fruit Silicone Cup Lid.

Winding

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

Heart-shaped Silicone Ice Cube, 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,Silicone Ice Lattice For Making Balls. The rope-6 Well Silicone Cake Mold.

Drawing tow

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Double Chessboard Fidget, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Ice Cream Fidget.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Silicone Daily Necessities.PPR FITTINGS MADE IN CHINA.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,PPR BRASS FITTING. 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)PPR FITTINGS.PPR Double Female Elbow, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Pert Pipe.

The Future

Pex-a Evoh Pipes,Pex-A Pipe's fastest-growing fiber.PPR Copper Coupler. 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,PPR Copper Reducer, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,PPR Copper Elbow 90°. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.PPR Copper Elbow 45°, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
