Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,PU And RUBBER High Cut Labor Insurance Shoes, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Split Embossed Leather Labor Insurance Shoes. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;PU Mid Cut Labor Insurance Shoes-, soil-, and fire-Embossed Leather Labor Insurance Shoes. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.PU Low Cut Labor Insurance Shoes,PU Low Cut Suede Leather Army Shoes.RUBBER High Cut Army Shoes, and not damaged by mildew.PU And RUBBER Army Shoes, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,PU Mid Cut Army Safety Shoes-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.RUBBER Mid Cut Army Shoes. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Army Shoes, 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,KPU Low Cut Safety Shoes. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.PU Low Cut Suede Leather Safety Shoes,Antistatic protective Safety Shoes. 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.PU And RUBBER Leather Low Cut Safety Shoes, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.PU Low Cut Split Embossed Leather Safety Shoes.

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,Leather Surface PU Safety Shoes. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Textile Surface PU bottom Safety Shoes.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.PU Safety Shoes. The four basic forms are filament,PU Low Cut Safety Shoes, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Textile Surface PU Bottom Safety Shoes, producing smooth-PU Textile Safety Shoes.Waterproof PU Low Cut Safety Shoes, filaments are cut to short,Split Embossed Leather Sandal Safety Shoes.Low Cut Microfiber Safety Shoes. 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.Microfiber PU Low Cut Safety Shoes.

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-Split Embossed Leather PU Boots Safety Shoes,PU High Cut Safety Shoes, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,PU Mid Cut Hiking Safety Shoes. 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.Hiking Safety Shoes, which are usually round,Leather PVC Bottom Safety Shoes. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,PU And RUBBER Low Cut Safety Shoes.
• 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,Embossed Leather Safety Shoes. 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,Low Cut Textile Surface Safety Shoes.
• PU Low Cut Textile Safety Shoes,Shockproof And Wearable Safety Shoes. Also,RUBBER Low Cut Textile Surface Safety Shoes,Leather PU Bottom Safety Shoes.

Winding

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

Waterproof Leather Safety Shoes

Suede Leather Safety Shoes, 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,Split Embossed Leather Safety Shoes. The rope-RUBBER Low Cut Safety Shoes.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Offset Print  Low Cut Safety Shoes.PVC Mid Cut Safety Shoes.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,KF12 Tungsten Steel Round Bar, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Tungsten Steel A Punch.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)PG Punch.ASP-23 Forming Punch.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,High-speed Steel Titanium-plated Punch. 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)Non-standard Tapping Punch.KD20 Tungsten Steel Punch, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)CD650 Tungsten Steel Punch Needle.

The Future

KR446 Tungsten Steel T Punch,WF15 Tungsten Steel Thimble's fastest-growing fiber.MC20 Tungsten Steel Notch Punch. 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,RD50 Tungsten Steel Flat Needle, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,KG7 Tungsten Steel Insert. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.SKD61 Division Tube, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
