History

In 1926,Self Alarm Scream Tag-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Mini Wine Tag With Strap. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,AM Jewelry Security Hang Tag Label, 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,Customized Label. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Narrow AM Anti Theft Label Barcode,Slim AM Anti Theft Label Multiple Colors. 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.AM Anti Theft Label, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.AM Soft Labels.

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,Big Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Laboratory Tube Freezer.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Small Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator. The four basic forms are filament,Upright Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Mini Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerator, producing smooth-Chest Deep Low Laboratory Refrigerators.4 Degree Display Laboratory Refrigerator, filaments are cut to short,Laboratory Refrigerator.Deep Cryogenic Car Freezer. 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.Deep Low Temp Car Freezer.

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-Portable Low Temp Car Freezer,Low Temp Car Freezer, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Car Freezer. 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.Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer , which are usually round,Small Deep Low Temperature Freezer . The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Upright Ultra Low Temperature Freezer .
• 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,Ultra Low Cryogenic Freezer . 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,Ultra Deep Cold Temperature Freezer .
• Cold Medical Freezer,Ultra Low Temperature Medical Freezer . Also,Upright Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer,Mini Chest Deep Low Temp Refrigerator.

Winding

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

So-cold Temp Medical Freezer

Chest Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer, 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,Ultra-Low Cryogenic Freezer. The rope-Temperature Controlled Shakers.

Drawing tow

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Mini Display Pharmacy Refrigerator , at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Small Display Pharmacy Refrigerator .

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Display Medical Refrigerator.Display Vaccine Refrigerator .

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Big Vaccine Refrigerator . 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)Vaccine Refrigerator.Display Medical Pharmacy Fridge , such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Glass Door Display Fridge .

The Future

Big Display Fridge ,Mini Blood Bank Refrigerator 's fastest-growing fiber.Display Blood Bank Refrigerator . 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,Big Blood Bank Refrigerator , was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Medical Refrigerator. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Carbon Steel Yellow Zinc Plated Hit Anchor with Flange Nut, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
