Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Double Card Injection Moulding Name Badge, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.PS Injection Moulding Name Badge. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Injection Moulding Name Badge-, soil-, and fire-PVC Frosted Name Badge. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Frosted Name Badge With Metal Clip,Frosted Name Badge.Printable Heart Shape Mini Cutter, and not damaged by mildew.Heart Shape Mini Cutter, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Clear Circle Shape Mini Cutter-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Small And Exquisite Multicolor Stationery Item. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Multicolor Stationery Item, 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,Delicate Customizable Stationery Item. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Customizable Stationery Item,Delicate Plastic Stationery Item. 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.Mini Plastic Stationery Item, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Plastic Stationery Item.

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,Stationery Item. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,PP Pen Box With Various Styles.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Plastic Double Side Pencil Case. The four basic forms are filament,Customizable PP Pencil Case, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Pinkycolor PP Pencil Case, producing smooth-High-quality PP Pencil Case.PP Pencil Case, filaments are cut to short,Multicolor Plastic Pencil Case.Printable Plastic Pencil Case. 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.Solid Color PP Pen Case.

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-PP Pen Case With Logo,Plastic Pen Case, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Pen Case. 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 Coated Parts, which are usually round,Silicone Pad. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Silicone Gasket.
• 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 Sealing Ring. 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 Accessories.
• Silicone Special-Shaped Waterproof Ring,Rubber Sealed Loop. Also,Silicone Pacifier,Silicone Nail Pad.

Winding

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

Silicone Molars, 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 Baby Bottle Cover. The rope-Silicone Face Brush.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Silicone Teether.Silicone ChildrenS Dinner Plate.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Silicone Pet Placemat, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Silicone Pet Slow Food Device.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Silicone Pet Foot Washing Cup.Silicone Pet Supplies.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Silicone Ladies 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)Silicone Bracelet.Big Silicone Bag, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Rabbit Silicone Wallet.

The Future

Silicone Wallet With A Heart Shape,Silicone Gifts's fastest-growing fiber.Silicone Fresh-Keeping 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,Silicone Coaster, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Silicone Placemat. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Silicone Cake Mould, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
