History

In 1926,Transparent TPH PPF Car Paint Protection Film-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.PPF Carbon Fiber Paint Protection Film. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,TPH PPF, 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,Transparent TPU PPF Car Paint Protection Film. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Self-Healing TPU Polyurethane PPF Car Wrap Film,TPU PPF. 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.Self Adhesive Marble Texture Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Self Adhesive Wood Grain Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film.

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,Disposable Quarantine Clothing CPE Film. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Embossed CPE Film.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.CPE Film. The four basic forms are filament,Anti-Fog PET Film Sheet for Protective Mask Face Shield, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Super Clear Transparent PET Film Sheet, producing smooth-Transparent PET Film.Matte TPU Film, filaments are cut to short,Foggy Plastic TPU Film.Printable TPU Film. 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.Eco-Friendly Embossed Vinyl Film Sheet.

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-Embossed Matte Soft PVC Film,Embossed Color Flexible PVC Film, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Anti-Yellow Embossed Soft Vinyl Film. 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.Embossed PVC Film, which are usually round,Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film Roll. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Fluorescent Color Translucent Soft PVC Film.
• 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,Lamination Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film. 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,Lamination Plastic Soft PVC Sheet.
• Waterproof Flexible Plastic PVC Film,Matte Normal Clear Translucent Soft Vinyl Film. Also,Non-Toxic Transparent Flexible PVC Film,0.05mm Normal Clear Transparent Flexible PVC Film.

Winding

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

Normal Clear Soft PVC Film Vinyl Sheet

Normal Clear PVC Film, 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,Flame Retardant Flexible Vinyl Film. The rope-Eco-Friendly Crystal Clear Soft PVC Film.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-High Glossy Super Clear Transparent Soft Plastic PVC Film.Antistatic Super Clear Soft PVC Film.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Super Clear PVC Film, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).PVC Film.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)DC Surge Protective Device.Solar Photovoltaic Cleaning Brush.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Rocker Switch. 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)Pedal Switch.Wall Switch, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Electrical Switch.

The Future

Solar Photovoltaic DC Combiner Box,Solar Distribution Junction Boxes's fastest-growing fiber.PV Array String DC Combiner Box. 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,Solar Ip65 Waterproof DC Combiner Box, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,DC Combiner Box. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Home Wifi Digital Lock, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
