History

In 1926,Bathroom TV Tempered Glass-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Bathroom TVs. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Outdoor TV Enclosure 55 Inch, 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,Outdoor TV Enclosure 65 Inch. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Outdoor TV Enclosure,QLED Outdoor TV 2000 Brightness. 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.QLED Outdoor Waterproof TV 1500 brightness, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Outdoor TVs Full Sun.

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,Outdoor TVs. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Skylight TPU Film PPF.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Skylight Film PPF. The four basic forms are filament,Transparent TPH PPF Car Paint Protection Film, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,PPF Carbon Fiber Paint Protection Film, producing smooth-TPH PPF.Transparent TPU PPF Car Paint Protection Film, filaments are cut to short,Self-Healing TPU Polyurethane PPF Car Wrap Film.TPU PPF. 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.Self Adhesive Marble Texture Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film.

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-Self Adhesive Wood Grain Laminated PVC Decorative Vinyl Film,Disposable Quarantine Clothing CPE Film, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Embossed CPE 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.CPE Film, which are usually round,Anti-Fog PET Film Sheet for Protective Mask Face Shield. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Super Clear Transparent PET Film Sheet.
• 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,Transparent PET 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,Matte TPU Film.
• Foggy Plastic TPU Film,Printable TPU Film. Also,Eco-Friendly Embossed Vinyl Film Sheet,Embossed Matte Soft 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.

Embossed Color Flexible PVC Film

Anti-Yellow Embossed Soft Vinyl 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,Embossed PVC Film. The rope-Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film Roll.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Fluorescent Color Translucent Soft PVC Film.Lamination Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Lamination Plastic Soft PVC Sheet, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Waterproof Flexible Plastic PVC Film.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Matte Normal Clear Translucent Soft Vinyl Film.Non-Toxic Transparent Flexible PVC Film.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,0.05mm Normal Clear Transparent Flexible PVC Film. 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)Normal Clear Soft PVC Film Vinyl Sheet.Normal Clear PVC Film, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Flame Retardant Flexible Vinyl Film.

The Future

Eco-Friendly Crystal Clear Soft PVC Film,High Glossy Super Clear Transparent Soft Plastic PVC Film's fastest-growing fiber.Antistatic Super Clear Soft PVC Film. 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,Super Clear PVC Film, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,PVC Film. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.DC Surge Protective Device, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
