Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Stone Paper Bags, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Stone Paper Books. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Stone Paper Eco Friendly Tissue Holder-, soil-, and fire-Stone Carton Board 2mm. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Stone Carton Board 3mm,Stone Paper Carton Board.Stone Paper Film 60um, and not damaged by mildew.Stone Paper Film, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Stone Card Paper 250um-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Stone Paper 180um. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Stone Paper Soft, 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,Full Automatic Marshmallow Production Line. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Deposited Marshmallow Line,Full Automatic Extruded Marshmallow Production Line. 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.Popping Boba Line, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Chocolate Blocks Guitar Cutter.

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 Slicing Machine. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Small Chocolate Machine.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Chocolate Enrobing Line. The four basic forms are filament,Chocolate Tempering Machine, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Chocolate Blocks Crusher, producing smooth-Chocolate Paste Making Equipment.Chocolate Forming Moulds, filaments are cut to short,Chocolate Moulds.Hollow Chocolate Spinning Machine. 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.Chocolate Equipment.

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-Sandwiching and Packaging,Rotary Rack Oven, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Rack Oven. 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 Multifunctional Biscuit Production Line, which are usually round,Automatic Multifunctional Biscuit Production Line. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Soft Biscuit Rotary Moulder.
• 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,Biscuit Stacking Machine. 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,Biscuit Equipment.
• Toffee Fondant Depositing Line,Automatic Starch Mogul Line. Also,Die Formed Lollipop Production Line,Hard Candy Depositing Line.

Winding

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

Automatic Drying System

Automatic Cereal Bar Line, 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,Extruding Type Konjac Ball Production Line. The rope-Aluminium Moulds and Silicon.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Gummy Moving Cart.Advance Rasing Film Vacuum Cooker.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Vacuum Batch Type Cooker, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Gummy Kitchen System.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Advance Gummy Production Line.Gummy Machines.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Cloth Bag For Gift. 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)Cloth Christmas Gift Bag.Gift Cloth Pouch, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Drawstring Sunglasses Pouch.

The Future

Microfiber Pouch,Printing Paper Shopping Bag's fastest-growing fiber.Shopping Gift Paper Bag For Packaging. 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,Paper Bags, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Soft Microfiber Cleaning Cloth For Jewelry. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Jewelry Polishing Cleaning Cloth Printed, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
