History

In 1926,Animal Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Ship Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, 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,Animal Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Snowman Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Watermelon Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. 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.Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Animal Turntable Indoor Playground Electric 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,Motorcycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Robot Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Aircraft Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The four basic forms are filament,Horse Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Bicycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, producing smooth-Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.Children Trampoline Indoor Playground, filaments are cut to short,Kids Trampoline Indoor Playground.Adult Trampoline Indoor Playground. 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.200-300 Square Meters Forest Theme Indoor Playground.

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-300-500 Square Meters Forest Theme Indoor Playground,100-200 Square Meters Colorful Theme Indoor Playground, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,100-200 Square Meters British Theme Indoor Playground. 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.100-200 Square Meters Ocean Theme Indoor Playground, which are usually round,100-200 Square Meters Macaron Theme Indoor Playground. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,300-500 Square Meters Macaron Theme Indoor Playground.
• 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,100-200 Square Meters Space Theme Indoor Playground. 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,200-500 Square Meters Space Theme Indoor Playground.

Winding

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

The Future

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,Flange Insulation Kit Gasket, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,High Temperature Flange Insulation Kits. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.8 Flange Isolation Kit, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
