Polyester

Background

High Pressure Injection Pump, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,High Pressure Steel Mechanical Injection Packer. In this reaction,Hammer Injection Packer.Aluminum Injection Packers.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,150MM High Pressure Steel Mechanical Injection Packer. New Nitrile Rubber, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Waterproof Injection Packer. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Lp-5 Low Pressure Syringe Adjustable Spring-, soil-, and fire-LP-3 Rubber low pressure syringe. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.BG-LP-1 and BG-LP-2 Plastic Surface Injection Packers,Low Pressure Epoxy Syringe Injectior.BG-710 Multifunctional Spraying Machine, and not damaged by mildew.BG-780 Multifunctional Spraying Machine, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,BG-830 Multifunctional Spraying Machine-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.BG-860 Multifunctional Spraying Machine. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,BG-870 Multifunctional Spraying Machine, 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,BG-930 Multifunctional Spraying Machine. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Multifunctional Cement Mortar Spraying Machine,Cement Mortar Spray Machine. 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.Food Additives, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.PS Phosphatidylserine.

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,Phosphatidylserine. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,super soya lecithin.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Soy Lecithin granules. The four basic forms are filament,Soyabean Lecithin, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Soy Lecithin Powder, producing smooth-Soya Lecithin.Food Additives, filaments are cut to short,Natural Phospholipids.Natural Lecithin. 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.Modified Lecithin.

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-Sunflower Lecithin,Food Grade Sunflower Lecithin, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Natural Lecithin. 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.Sodium Saccharin BP/USP/GMP, which are usually round,Sodium Saccharin CAS 6155-57-3. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Sodium Saccharin 40-80 MESH.
• 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,Anhydrous Sodium Saccharin CAS 128-44-9. 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,Feed Grade Sodium Saccharin.
• Insoluble Saccharin CAS 81-07-2,Sodium Saccharin for Food and Beverage. Also,Soda ash,Musk Xylene With Crystal Powder.

Winding

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

100% Natural Musk Ketone Powder

Musk ketone CAS 81-14-1, 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,Light Magnesium Oxide CAS 1309-48-4. The rope-Caustic Soda.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Caustic Soda CAS 1310-73-2.Sodium Hydrosulphite.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Calcium lignosulphonate, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Calcium lignosulphonate CAS 8061-52-7.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Choline Chloride Corn Cob.Calcium Gluconate CAS 299-28-5.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Ferrous Gluconate CAS 299-29-6. 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)Sodium Alginate CAS 9005-38-3.Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Food Thickener.

The Future

Aspartame CAS 22839-47-0,Lactose powder CAS 63-42-3's fastest-growing fiber.Sucralose CAS 56038-13-2. 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,Maltitol CAS 585-88-6, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Food Sweetener. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Potassium Sorbate CAS 24634-61-5, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
