Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Health care products, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Saliva Test Kits. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;COVID-19 Test Kit-, soil-, and fire-Oxygen Concentrator. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Oxygen Concentrator,Sphygmomanometers.Non-contact Digital Thermometer, and not damaged by mildew.Diagnostics, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Endotracheal Tube-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Nasopharyngeal Airway. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Anesthesia Supplies, 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,Yank. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Surgery Supplies,Zinc Oxide Plaster. 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.Alcohol Swabs, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Wound Dressing.

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,Paraffin Gauze. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,KN95 Protective Mask.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Disposable Protective Mask. The four basic forms are filament,Isolation Gown, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Nonwoven Disposables, producing smooth-Blood Bag.Leukocyte Reduction Filter, filaments are cut to short,Single Double Triple Lumen Hemodialysis Catheter Kit.Disposable Syringe. 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.Insulin Syringe.

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-Hypodermic Needles,Crepe Bandage, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Plaster Of Paris Bandage. 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.PBT Bandage, which are usually round,Cotton Wool Roll. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Zigzag Cotton.
• 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,Cotton Roll. 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,Medical Cotton.
• Gauze Balls,Lap Sponges. Also,Urinary Catheter,Urinary Leg Bag.

Winding

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

Nebulizer Mask

Venturi Mask, 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,Resuscitator. The rope-Nelaton Catheter.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Oxygen Mask With Reservoir Bagen.Rectal Tube.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Silicone Laryngeal Mask, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Respiratory Care.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Shower Accessories.Classic Shower Set.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Flat Shower Set. 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)Stainless Steel Chrome-plated Shower Set.Classic Electroplating Shower Set, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Retractable Round Shower Rod Set.

The Future

Round Shower Set,Round Shower Rail's fastest-growing fiber.Shower Rail. 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,Stainless Steel Polished Shower Hose, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,S.S. Shower Hose. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Shower Hose, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
