Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Eas AM Security Gate, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.AM Detection Systems. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Battery Safer Case-, soil-, and fire-PC Anti-theft Safer. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Commodities Anti-theft Keeper,Multi-use Anti-theft Box.AM/RF Gum Safer, and not damaged by mildew.Retractable Muti-use Safer, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Mini Self Alarm Tag-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Self Alarm Scream Tag. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Mini Wine Tag With Strap, 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,AM Jewelry Security Hang Tag Label. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Customized Label,Narrow AM Anti Theft Label Barcode. 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.Slim AM Anti Theft Label Multiple Colors, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.AM Anti Theft Label.

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,AM Soft Labels. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Big Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Laboratory Tube Freezer. The four basic forms are filament,Small Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Upright Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator, producing smooth-Mini Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator.Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerators, filaments are cut to short,4 Degree Display Laboratory Refrigerator.Laboratory Refrigerator. 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.Deep Cryogenic Car Freezer.

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-Deep Low Temp Car Freezer,Portable Low Temp Car Freezer, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Low Temp Car Freezer. 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.Car Freezer, which are usually round,Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer . The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Small Deep Low Temperature Freezer .
• 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,Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer . 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,Ultra Low Cryogenic Freezer .
• Ultra Deep Cold Temperature Freezer ,Cold Medical Freezer. Also,Ultra Low Temperature Medical Freezer ,Upright Ultra-Low Cryogenic 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.

So-cold Temp Medical 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,Chest Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer. The rope-Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Temperature Controlled Shakers.2-8 Degrees Glass Door Pharmacy Vaccine Refrigerator.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Visible Display Pharmacy Refrigerator , at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Mini Display Pharmacy Refrigerator .

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Small Display Pharmacy Refrigerator .Display Medical Refrigerator.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Display Vaccine Refrigerator . 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)Big Vaccine Refrigerator .Vaccine Refrigerator, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Display Medical Pharmacy Fridge .

The Future

Glass Door Display Fridge ,Big Display Fridge 's fastest-growing fiber.Mini Blood Bank 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,Display Blood Bank Refrigerator , was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Big Blood Bank Refrigerator . Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Medical Refrigerator, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
