Background

Connecting Base, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Gear Shaft. In this reaction,Round Acoustic Fabric Wrapped Panelas.N95 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,FFP3 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.KF94 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;PFE 95 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric-, soil-, and fire-High Filtration Nonwoven FFP2 Melt Blown. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Acrylic Flame Retardant Fabric,Cinema Room Fabric.Fireproof Wall Lining, and not damaged by mildew.Flame Retardant Fabric, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Polyester Sound Baffle-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Diy Acoustic Baffles. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Acoustic Ceiling Baffle, 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,Acoustic Ceiling Panels. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Acoustic Ceiling Board,Polyester Sound Absorbing panels. 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.Decorative Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.DIY Acoustic Panels.

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,Polyester Acoustic Sound Panels. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Sound Absorbing Wall Panels.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Studio acoustic Panel. The four basic forms are filament,Custom Acoustic Panels, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Hexagon Polyester Acoustic Panel, producing smooth-Beveled Polyester Fiber Panel.Polyester Acoustic Leaf, filaments are cut to short,Print Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panel.Polyester Sound Dampening Panels. 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.Art Board.

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-Polyester Fiber Felt,Eco Friendly Wall Panel, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Decorative Sound Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels. 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.Polyester Soundproofing Acoustic Panel, which are usually round,Printed Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panel. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Soundproof Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels.
• 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,Polyester Acoustic Panel. 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,Double Layer Inverted Umbrellas Reverse Folding Umbrella Windproof.

Winding

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

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Super Mini Umbrella, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Promotional Manual Open Golf Umbrella.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Manual Open Golf Umbrella.Polyester Fabric Animal Children Umbrella.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,POE Animal Children Umbrella. 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)Fiberglass Long Automatic Children Umbrella.POE Long Automatic Children Umbrella, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)EVA Print Children Umbrella.

The Future

Manual Open Adult Wooden Stick Umbrella,Rainbow Adult Stick Automatic Umbrella's fastest-growing fiber.Special Rainbow Edge Long Adult Stick Umbrella. 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,Double Layer Special Adult Stick Umbrella, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Automatic Long Stick Rain Umbrellas. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Gent Folding Super Mini Manual Open Umbrella, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
