Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Inclined Cradle, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Self-Righting Throwing Life Raft. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Inflatable Liferaft-, soil-, and fire-Multi-Function Dump Device. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Pneumatic of Dump Device,Self-Sustaining Rope Thrower.Marine Life Saving Fireworks Signal, and not damaged by mildew.Lifejacket Light, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Inflatable Waistband-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Motorcycle Safety Clothing. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Pet Body Belt, 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,Pet Body Belt Bags. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Touch Screen Mobile Phone Purse,Alphabet Cardholder. 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.Bags Accessories, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Kids Bow Sequin Metallic Backpack.

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,Kids Polar Fleece Backpack. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Kids Backpack Bags.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Kids Cross Body Bags. The four basic forms are filament,Mens Leopard Print Bum Bag, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Mens PU Mix Messenger, producing smooth-Mens Messenger Bags.Mens Bags, filaments are cut to short,Womens Weekender Bags.Rainbow Trim Bum 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.Set of Four Holiday.

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-Beauty Case Bags,Set Of Four Make Up Bags, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Make Up Bags. 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.Allover Printed Nylon Shopper, which are usually round,Woven Panel Camera Bag. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Smooth Structured Tote.
• 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,Ladies Quilted Tote. 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,Faux Fur Midi Tote.
• Padded Nylon Tote With Front Pocket,Tote Bags. Also,Quilted Nylon Backpack,Casual Nylon Backpack.

Winding

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

Structured Formal Cross Body, 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,Quilted Boxy Cross Body. The rope-Ladies Monogram Hobo.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Ladies Twist Handle Medium Hobo.Work Bags.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Womens Bags, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Belt Sander.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Plate-Type Cutting Center.Hot-press Machine.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Hydraulic Shearing Machine. 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)Three Wide Belts Sanding Machine.Floating Primer Sander, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)NC Tenoning 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,Four-side Moulder , was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Double-side High Speed And Efficiency Planer Qmb2018 Alf. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Single-side Wood Working Planer（Heavy）, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
