History

In 1926,Pet Body Belt-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Pet Body Belt Bags. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Touch Screen Mobile Phone Purse, 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,Alphabet Cardholder. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Bags Accessories,Kids Bow Sequin Metallic Backpack. 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.Kids Polar Fleece Backpack, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Kids Backpack Bags.

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,Kids Cross Body Bags. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Mens Leopard Print Bum Bag.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Mens PU Mix Messenger. The four basic forms are filament,Mens Messenger Bags, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Mens Bags, producing smooth-Womens Weekender Bags.Rainbow Trim Bum Bag, filaments are cut to short,Set of Four Holiday.Beauty Case Bags. 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.Set Of Four Make Up Bags.

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-Make Up Bags,Allover Printed Nylon Shopper, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Woven Panel Camera Bag. 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.Smooth Structured Tote, which are usually round,Ladies Quilted Tote. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Faux Fur Midi Tote.
• 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,Padded Nylon Tote With Front Pocket. 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,Tote Bags.
• Quilted Nylon Backpack,Casual Nylon Backpack. Also,Ladies Duffle Cross Body,Structured Formal Cross Body.

Winding

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

Ladies Monogram Hobo, 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,Ladies Twist Handle Medium Hobo. The rope-Work Bags.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Womens Bags.Belt Sander.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Plate-Type Cutting Center, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Hot-press Machine.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Hydraulic Shearing Machine.Three Wide Belts Sanding Machine.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Floating Primer Sander. 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)NC Tenoning Machine.Cnc Double Side Tenon Machine Computer, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)CNC Double-end Tenoning Machine 6 Spindles.

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,Single-side Wood Working Planer（Heavy）, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Multi-blade Rip Saw. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Automatic Up-down Multi-blades Rip Saw, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
