Its low absorbency also makes it naturally resistant to stains.150MM High Pressure Steel Mechanical Injection Packer. New Nitrile Rubber,Waterproof Injection Packer.Lp-5 Low Pressure Syringe Adjustable Spring, and not damaged by mildew.LP-3 Rubber low pressure syringe, nonallergenic insulator, so the material is used for filling pillows, quilting, outerwear, and sleeping bags.

History

In 1926,BG-LP-1 and BG-LP-2 Plastic Surface Injection Packers-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.Low Pressure Epoxy Syringe Injectior. This early research, headed by W.H. Carothers,BG-710 Multifunctional Spraying Machine, 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,BG-780 Multifunctional Spraying Machine. The company conducted some further developmental work, and in 1951, began to market the fiber under the name Dacron.BG-830 Multifunctional Spraying Machine,BG-860 Multifunctional Spraying Machine. 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.BG-870 Multifunctional Spraying Machine, though PCDT is more elastic and resilient. PCDT is suited to the heavier consumer uses, such as draperies and furniture coverings.BG-930 Multifunctional Spraying Machine.

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,Multifunctional Cement Mortar Spraying Machine. In this process, ethylene is the polymer, the chemical building block of polyester,Cement Mortar Spray Machine.

The Manufacturing
Process

Polyester is manufactured by one of several methods.Food Additives. The four basic forms are filament,PS Phosphatidylserine, tow, and fiberfill. In the filament form,Phosphatidylserine, producing smooth-super soya lecithin.Soy Lecithin granules, filaments are cut to short,Soyabean Lecithin.Soy Lecithin Powder. 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.Soya Lecithin.

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-Food Additives,Natural Phospholipids, is extruded through a slot to form long ribbons.

Drying

• 3 After the polyester emerges from polymerization,Natural Lecithin. 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.Modified Lecithin, which are usually round,Sunflower Lecithin. The number of holes in the spinneret determines the size of the yarn,Food Grade Sunflower Lecithin.
• 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,Natural Lecithin. 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,Sodium Saccharin BP/USP/GMP.
• Sodium Saccharin CAS 6155-57-3,Sodium Saccharin 40-80 MESH. Also,Anhydrous Sodium Saccharin CAS 128-44-9,Feed Grade Sodium Saccharin.

Winding

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

Insoluble Saccharin CAS 81-07-2

Sodium Saccharin for Food and Beverage, 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,Soda ash. The rope-Musk Xylene With Crystal Powder.

Drawing tow

• 1 Newly-100% Natural Musk Ketone Powder.Musk ketone CAS 81-14-1.

Crimping

• 2 Drawn tow is then fed into compression boxes,Light Magnesium Oxide CAS 1309-48-4, at a rate of 9-15 crimps per inch (3-6 per cm).Caustic Soda.

Setting

• 3 After the tow is crimped, it is heated at 212-302°F (100-150°C)Caustic Soda CAS 1310-73-2.Sodium Hydrosulphite.

Cutting

• 4 Following heat setting,Calcium lignosulphonate. 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)Calcium lignosulphonate CAS 8061-52-7.Choline Chloride Corn Cob, such ascarpet,polyester filaments are cut into 6 inch (15 cm)Calcium Gluconate CAS 299-28-5.

The Future

Ferrous Gluconate CAS 299-29-6,Sodium Alginate CAS 9005-38-3's fastest-growing fiber.Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2. 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,Food Thickener, was introduced to the public in 1991. More luxurious and versatile than traditional polyester,Aspartame CAS 22839-47-0. Clothing designers such as Mary McFadden have created a line of clothes using this new form of polyester.Lactose powder CAS 63-42-3, a superfiber material used to make bulletproof vests. This type of polyester may eventually be used as composite materials for cars and airplanes.
