Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Plastic Stationery Item, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Stationery Item. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;PP Pen Box With Various Styles-, soil-, and fire-Plastic Double Side Pencil Case. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Customizable PP Pencil Case,Pinkycolor PP Pencil Case.High-quality PP Pencil Case, and not damaged by mildew.PP Pencil Case, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Multicolor Plastic Pencil Case-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Printable Plastic Pencil Case. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Solid Color PP Pen Case, 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,PP Pen Case With Logo. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Plastic Pen Case,Pen 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.Silicone Coated Parts, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Silicone Pad.

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,Silicone Gasket. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Silicone Sealing Ring.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Silicone Accessories. The four basic forms are filament,Silicone Special-Shaped Waterproof Ring, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Rubber Sealed Loop, producing smooth-Silicone Pacifier.Silicone Nail Pad, filaments are cut to short,Silicone Beauty Scrubbing Pad.Silicone Molars. 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.Silicone Baby Bottle Cover.

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-Silicone Face Brush,Silicone Teether, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Silicone ChildrenS Dinner Plate. 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 Pet Placemat, which are usually round,Silicone Pet Slow Food Device. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Silicone Pet Foot Washing Cup.
• 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 Pet Supplies. 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 Ladies Bag.
• Silicone Bracelet,Big Silicone Bag. Also,Rabbit Silicone Wallet,Silicone Wallet With A Heart Shape.

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 Gifts

Silicone Fresh-Keeping Bag, 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 Coaster. The rope-Silicone Placemat.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Silicone Cake Mould.Silicone Soap Dish.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Silicone Gloves, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Bow Silicone Cup Lid.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Flower Silicone Lid.Silicone Lid Can Contain Spoon.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Fruit Silicone Cup Lid. 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)Square Silica Gel Ice Cube.Heart-shaped Silicone Ice Cube, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Silicone Ice Lattice For Making Balls.

The Future

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,Double Chessboard Fidget, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Ice Cream Fidget. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Silicone Daily Necessities, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
