History

In 1926,Push curtain BL-PSH02-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Push curtain. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,Sunscreen Blinds SS-01, 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,Zebra Blinds ZB-05. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Zebra Blinds ZB-03,Zebra Blinds ZB-02. 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.Zebra Blinds ZB-01, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.Zebra Blinds.

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,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1002. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Blackout Blinds Jacquard.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Blackout Blinds Plain RB-P01/P02. The four basic forms are filament,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Blackout Blinds Ice cracks 1001, producing smooth-Blackout Blinds.Roller Blinds, filaments are cut to short,EVA Carpet Indoor Playground Fitting.Ocean Ball Indoor Playground Fitting. 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.Wall Mat Indoor Playground Fitting.

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-Globe Turntable Indoor Playground Equipment,The Interesting Spider Tower Indoor Playground Equipment, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Trampoline Boxing Indoor Playground Equipment. 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.Animal Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment, which are usually round,Roller Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Ship Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.
• 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,Animal Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. 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,Snowman Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.
• Watermelon Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Turnplate Indoor Playground Electric Equipment. Also,Animal Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment,Motorcycle Turntable Indoor Playground Electric Equipment.

Winding

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

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,Castle Theme Indoor Playground, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Children Small Indoor Playground. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Children Driving School Playground, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
