Stone Paper Eco Friendly Tissue Holder, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Stone Carton Board 2mm. In this reaction,Stone Carton Board 3mm.Stone Paper Carton Board.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Stone Paper Film 60um, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Stone Paper Film. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Stone Card Paper 250um-, soil-, and fire-Stone Paper 180um. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Stone Paper Soft,Full Automatic Marshmallow Production Line.Deposited Marshmallow Line, and not damaged by mildew.Full Automatic Extruded Marshmallow Production Line, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Popping Boba Line-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Chocolate Blocks Guitar Cutter. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Chocolate Slicing 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,Small Chocolate Machine. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Chocolate Enrobing Line,Chocolate Tempering 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.Chocolate Blocks Crusher, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Chocolate Paste Making Equipment.

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,Chocolate Forming Moulds. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Chocolate Moulds.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Hollow Chocolate Spinning Machine. The four basic forms are filament,Chocolate Equipment, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Sandwiching and Packaging, producing smooth-Rotary Rack Oven.Rack Oven, filaments are cut to short,Automatic Multifunctional Biscuit Production Line.Automatic Multifunctional Biscuit Production Line. 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.Soft Biscuit Rotary Moulder.

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-Biscuit Stacking Machine,Biscuit Equipment, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Toffee Fondant Depositing Line. 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.Automatic Starch Mogul Line, which are usually round,Die Formed Lollipop Production Line. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Hard Candy Depositing Line.
• 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,Automatic Drying System. 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,Automatic Cereal Bar Line.
• Extruding Type Konjac Ball Production Line,Aluminium Moulds and Silicon. Also,Gummy Moving Cart,Advance Rasing Film Vacuum Cooker.

Winding

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

Vacuum Batch Type Cooker

Gummy Kitchen System, 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,Advance Gummy Production Line. The rope-Gummy Machines.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Cloth Bag For Gift.Cloth Christmas Gift Bag.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Gift Cloth Pouch, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Drawstring Sunglasses Pouch.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Microfiber Pouch.Printing Paper Shopping Bag.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Shopping Gift Paper Bag For Packaging. 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)Paper Bags.Soft Microfiber Cleaning Cloth For Jewelry, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Jewelry Polishing Cleaning Cloth Printed.

The Future

Microfiber Camera Cleaning Cloth,Camera Cleaning Cloth's fastest-growing fiber.Cleaning Cloth For Eyeglasses. 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,Packaging For Sunglasses, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Spectacle Frame Box. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Black Sunglasses Case Packaging, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
