Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,Silicone Fresh-Keeping Bag, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.Silicone Coaster. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;Silicone Placemat-, soil-, and fire-Silicone Cake Mould. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.Silicone Soap Dish,Silicone Gloves.Bow Silicone Cup Lid, and not damaged by mildew.Flower Silicone Lid, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,Silicone Lid Can Contain Spoon-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Fruit Silicone Cup Lid. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Square Silica Gel Ice Cube, 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,Heart-shaped Silicone Ice Cube. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Silicone Ice Lattice For Making Balls,6 Well Silicone Cake Mold. 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.Werewolf Kill Pop It-werewolf It, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Oversized Page Pop It.

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,Double Chessboard Fidget. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Ice Cream Fidget.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Silicone Daily Necessities. The four basic forms are filament,PPR FITTINGS MADE IN CHINA, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,PPR BRASS FITTING, producing smooth-PPR FITTINGS.PPR Double Female Elbow, filaments are cut to short,Pert Pipe.Pex-a Evoh Pipes. 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.Pex-A Pipe.

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-PPR Copper Coupler,PPR Copper Reducer, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,PPR Copper Elbow 90°. 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.PPR Copper Elbow 45°, which are usually round,PPR Copper Reduction Tee. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,PPR Copper Female Tee.
• 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,PPR Copper Male Tee. 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,PPR Copper Female Socket.
• PPR Copper Fittings,PPR Male Adapter. Also,Elbow with Female Coupling,Under Plaster Group.

Winding

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

Double Female Elbow

PPR Pipe Clip, 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,PPR Female Union. The rope-PPR Female Threaded Union.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Plastic Union.PPR Handle Wheel Stop Valves.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,PERT Stop Valve, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).PPR Radiator Stop Valve 180°.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)PPR Type Y Stop Valve.PPR Stop Valve.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,PPR Plastic Ball Valve 32mm. 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)PPR Plastic Ball Valve 40mm.PPR Fiber Glass Composite Pipes Sdr6 S2.5 Pn25, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)high tensile strength pure gum rubber sheet.

The Future

Silicone CG Brown - 50A,Silicone CG Black - 50A's fastest-growing fiber.General Purpose Rubber - 60A. 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,NATURAL GUM RUBBER, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,GASKET. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Owl Tea Light Candle Holder with Tealights, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
