Polyester

Background

Soy Lecithin granules, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Soyabean Lecithin. In this reaction,PS Phosphatidylserine.Soy lecithin.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,lecithin de soya, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Soy Lecithin Powder. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Soya Lecithin-, soil-, and fire-Sunflower Lecithin. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Egg Yolk Lecithin,Soybean Phosphatides.Food Grade Sunflower Lecithin, and not damaged by mildew.Natural Lecithin, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Food Grade Sodium Saccharin 8-12 mesh-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Sodium Saccharin 5-8 MESH. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Sodium Saccharin BP/USP/GMP, 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,Sodium Saccharin CAS 6155-57-3. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Insoluble Saccharin CAS 81-07-2,Sodium Saccharin 20-40 mesh. 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.Sodium Saccharin for Food and Beverage, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Soda Ash CAS 144-55-8.

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,100% Natural Musk Ketone Powder. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,High Purity Perfume/cosmetics/fragrance Fixative Musk Ambrette.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Light Magnesium Oxide CAS 1309-48-4. The four basic forms are filament,Caustic Soda, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Caustic Soda CAS 1310-73-2, producing smooth-4-Aminophenol/Para-Aminophenol.Sodium Hydrosulphite CAS 7775-14-6, filaments are cut to short,Calcium lignosulphonate.Calcium Chloride Dihydrate Anhydrous. 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.Choline Chloride Silica.

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-Choline Chloride CAS.67-48-1,Feed Additives, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Ferrous Gluconate CAS 299-29-6. 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.Glucose Potassium CAS 299-27-4, which are usually round,Food-Acidifiers. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Gelatin CAS 9000-70-8.
• 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,Food Thickener. 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,Lactose powder CAS 63-42-3.
• Potassium Sorbate CAS 24634-61-5,Sodium Benzoate CAS 532-32-1. Also,Ethyl Vanillin CAS 121-32-4,Grooving Machine for Spiral Wound Gasket Outer Ring.

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

Crinkled Flexible Graphite Tape,V-Shape Stainless Steel Metallic Strip Tape for Spiral Wound Gasket's fastest-growing fiber.Full Automatic Camprofile Grooving Gasket Making Machine. 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,Camprofile Gasket Grooving Machine, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Automatic Argon Arc Metal Ring Joint Welding Machine. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Polishing Machine For Spiral Wound Gasket Metal Ring, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
