Polyester Plant

Polyester fibers, like other synthetic fibers, are produced industrially and are considered suitable substitutes for natural fibers such as cotton due to their properties. To make this product, a combination of dimethyl terephthalate and monoethylene glycol, or terephthalic acid (a substitute for the primary material dimethyl terephthalate), is used in the presence of suitable catalysts. The polymer resulting from the combination of these two raw materials is passed through spinnerets by a pump and, under the influence of cold air, is transformed into fibers and collectively forms a bundle of fibers. In subsequent stages, through stretching and heat treatment, while the molecular arrangement is organized and thermally stabilized, it is cut into long (filament) or short (staple) fibers in desired sizes and packaged (baled).
