History

In 1926,Manual Handheld Detacher-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Potable Mini Magnetic Detacher. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,58khz Commercial Arcylic Alarming Antenna, 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,Eas AM Security Gate. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.AM Detection Systems,Battery Safer Case. 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.PC Anti-theft Safer, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Commodities Anti-theft Keeper.

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,Multi-use Anti-theft Box. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,AM/RF Gum Safer.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Retractable Muti-use Safer. The four basic forms are filament,Mini Self Alarm Tag, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Self Alarm Scream Tag, producing smooth-Mini Wine Tag With Strap.AM Jewelry Security Hang Tag Label, filaments are cut to short,Customized Label.Narrow AM Anti Theft Label Barcode. 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.Slim AM Anti Theft Label Multiple Colors.

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-AM Anti Theft Label,AM Soft Labels, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Big Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. 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.Laboratory Tube Freezer, which are usually round,Small Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Upright Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator.
• 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,Mini Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. 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,Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerators.
• 4 Degree Display Laboratory Refrigerator,Laboratory Refrigerator. Also,Deep Cryogenic Car Freezer,Deep Low Temp Car Freezer.

Winding

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

Portable Low Temp Car Freezer

Low Temp Car Freezer, 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,Car Freezer. The rope-Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer .

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Small Deep Low Temperature Freezer .Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer .

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Ultra Low Cryogenic Freezer , at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Ultra Deep Cold Temperature Freezer .

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Cold Medical Freezer.Ultra Low Temperature Medical Freezer .

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Upright Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer. 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)Mini Chest Deep Low Temp Refrigerator.So-cold Temp Medical Freezer, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Chest Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer.

The Future

Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer,Temperature Controlled Shakers's fastest-growing fiber.2-8 Degrees Glass Door Pharmacy Vaccine Refrigerator. 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,Visible Display Pharmacy Refrigerator , was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Mini Display Pharmacy Refrigerator . Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Small Display Pharmacy Refrigerator , a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
