Polyester is used in the manufacture of many products, including clothing, home furnishings,N95 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric, computer and recording tapes, and electrical insulation.FFP3 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric. It does not absorb moisture, but does absorb oil;KF94 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric-, soil-, and fire-PFE 95 Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric. Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.High Filtration Nonwoven FFP2 Melt Blown,Acrylic Flame Retardant Fabric.Cinema Room Fabric, and not damaged by mildew.Fireproof Wall Lining, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

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

The Manufacturing
Process

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

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-Art Board,Polyester Fiber Felt, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Eco Friendly Wall Panel. 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.Decorative Sound Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels, which are usually round,Polyester Soundproofing Acoustic Panel. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Printed Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panel.
• 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,Soundproof Polyester Fiber Acoustic Panels. 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,Polyester Acoustic Panel.
• Double Layer Inverted Umbrellas Reverse Folding Umbrella Windproof,Cartoon printing super mini 3 section rain umbrella. Also,Cartoon Animal Children Umbrellas,Inverted Umbrella Double Layer Reverse 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.

POE Animal Children Kids Umbrella, 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,Long Clear POE Rain Umbrella. The rope-POE Rain Umbrella.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-Portable Pocket Super Mini 3 Section Rain Umbrella.Cartoon Printing Super Mini 3 section Rain Umbrella.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Black Compact Super Mini 3 Section Rain Umbrella, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Super Mini Umbrella.

Setting

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

Cutting

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

The Future

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