History

In 1926,Solar Powered TV-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Solar TVs. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,43 Inch Fitness Mirror Display, 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,Fitness Mirror. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.Yacht TV,Marine TV For Sale. 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.Marine TV, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.19 Inch Caravan TV.

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,24 Inch Caravan TV. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Caravan TV DVD Combo.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.24 Inch RV TV. The four basic forms are filament,Caravan TVs, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Sauna Room TV, producing smooth-32 Inch Batroom TV Mirror.43 Inch Batroom TV Mirror, filaments are cut to short,Bathroom TV Tempered Glass.Bathroom TVs. 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.Outdoor TV Enclosure 55 Inch.

The Future

Embossed Matte Soft PVC Film,Embossed Color Flexible PVC Film's fastest-growing fiber.Anti-Yellow Embossed Soft Vinyl Film. 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,Embossed PVC Film, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Color Transparent Soft Vinyl Film Roll. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Fluorescent Color Translucent Soft PVC Film, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.

This is a very usefull page but do you now what is the energy input for making polyester?
Spinning of Polyester Filament Yarn

The polyester polymer produced from PTA and MEG is extruded in the form of a ribbon. This ribbon is then converted into chips.
These chips received in the bulk packing of 750 kgs to 1250 kgs

The wet chips are dried with hot dehumidified air in the continuous dryer and fed through a hopper to the extruder for melting at high temp 285 C.Lamination Plastic Soft PVC Sheet. In the form of continuous filaments

Each spinnerette contains 12 to 196 holes. A cool controlled air is blowing across the bunch of filaments for proper cooling.Waterproof Flexible Plastic PVC Film.Matte Normal Clear Translucent Soft Vinyl Film.
.
the yarn produced is deoffed from the winders checked for the properties and packed in the pallets of 60 spools each.

Are either of the compounds cobalt dichloride or thiuram mix used in the manufacture of polyester or in the material itself. Have an allergy to these 2 compounds and am trying to trace what is causing my itch.

With being chemically sensitive, I now know why I can not wear polyester clothes or have it in sheets. The itch and rash is horrible.
What are the health risk of polyester and what chemicals cause them
