Background

High-quality PP Pencil Case, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,PP Pencil Case. In this reaction,Multicolor Plastic Pencil Case.Printable Plastic Pencil Case.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Solid Color PP Pen Case, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.PP Pen Case With Logo. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Plastic Pen Case-, soil-, and fire-Pen Case. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Silicone Coated Parts,Silicone Pad.Silicone Gasket, and not damaged by mildew.Silicone Sealing Ring, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Silicone Accessories-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Silicone Special-Shaped Waterproof Ring. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Rubber Sealed Loop, 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,Silicone Pacifier. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Silicone Nail Pad,Silicone Beauty Scrubbing Pad. 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.Silicone Molars, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Silicone Baby Bottle Cover.

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,Silicone Face Brush. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Silicone Teether.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Silicone ChildrenS Dinner Plate. The four basic forms are filament,Silicone Pet Placemat, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Silicone Pet Slow Food Device, producing smooth-Silicone Pet Foot Washing Cup.Silicone Pet Supplies, filaments are cut to short,Silicone Ladies Bag.Silicone Bracelet. 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.Big Silicone Bag.

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-Rabbit Silicone Wallet,Silicone Wallet With A Heart Shape, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Silicone Gifts. 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.Silicone Fresh-Keeping Bag, which are usually round,Silicone Coaster. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Silicone Placemat.
• 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,Silicone Cake Mould. 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,Silicone Soap Dish.
• Silicone Gloves,Bow Silicone Cup Lid. Also,Flower Silicone Lid,Silicone Lid Can Contain Spoon.

Winding

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

Fruit Silicone Cup Lid

Square Silica Gel Ice Cube, 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,Heart-shaped Silicone Ice Cube. The rope-Silicone Ice Lattice For Making Balls.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-6 Well Silicone Cake Mold.Werewolf Kill Pop It-werewolf It.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Oversized Page Pop It, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Double Chessboard Fidget.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Ice Cream Fidget.Silicone Daily Necessities.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,PPR FITTINGS MADE IN CHINA. 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)PPR BRASS FITTING.PPR FITTINGS, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)PPR Double Female Elbow.

The Future

Pert Pipe,Pex-a Evoh Pipes's fastest-growing fiber.Pex-A Pipe. 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,PPR Copper Coupler, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,PPR Copper Reducer. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.PPR Copper Elbow 90°, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
