Polyester

Background

Mold Dehumidifying Dryer, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a 20th-century laboratory,Dehumidifying and Drying Machine. In this reaction,Dehumidifying and Drying System.Dehumidification Drying Feeder.

Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Dehumidifier, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Low Speed Granulators. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Middle Speed Granulators-, soil-, and fire-Strong Granulators. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Vertical Color Mixer,Central Conveying System.Mixer, and not damaged by mildew.Mold Temperature Controller-Water Based, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Dual Mold Temperature Controller-Water Based-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Central Chiller Dual Machine. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,TCOD Oil Type Mold Temperature Machine, 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,TCHW A cold and hot integrated temperature controller. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Heating and Cooling,Self Contained Vacuum Hopper Loaders. 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.Detachable Type Autoloader, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.European Type Hopper Dryers.

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,Dehumidification Drying Feeder. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Dehumidifying and Drying System.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Dehumidifying and Drying Machinery. The four basic forms are filament,Cabinet Dryer, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Central Material Handling System, producing smooth-Dehumidifying and Drying Machine.European Type Hopper Dryer, filaments are cut to short,Hot Air Dryer.HDV Conveyor Integrated Hot Air Dryer. 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.Hopper Dryer.

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-Dehumidifying and Drying,Manganese Gluconate, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Copper Gluconate. 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.Zinc Gluconate, which are usually round,Magnesium Gluconate. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Potassium Gluconate.
• 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,Magnesium Lactate. 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,Zinc Lactate.
• Ferrous Lactate,Potassium Citrate. Also,Calcium Citrate,Ferric Sulphate.

Winding

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

Magnesium Chloride

Calcium Chloride, 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,Magnesium Carbonate. The rope-Minerals.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Freshener Blends.Solidification Stabilizer Blends.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Defoamer Blends, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Bleaching Agent Blends.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Emulsifers Blends.Acidity Regulator Blends.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Preservatives Blends. 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)Antioxidants Blends.Curing Agent For Meat, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Water Holding Agent For Surimi Product.

The Future

Water Holding Agent For Fish Fillet,Leavening Agent Blends's fastest-growing fiber.Water Holding Agent Blends. 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,Emulsifying Thickners Blends, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Thickners Blends. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Baking Powder For Deep-fried Dough Sticks, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
