Polyester Fibre Production Process and End Uses

Introduction Polyester are polymers made by a condensation reaction taking place between small molecules, in which the linkage of the molecules occurs through the formation of ester groups. Polyesters are commonly made by interaction of a dibasic acid with a dihydric alcohol: HOOC-X-COOH + HO-Y-OH → …OC-X-COO-Y-OCO-X-COO-Y-OCO… The formation of polyester was studied by Wallace H. Carothers […]

An Overview of Sisal Fibre

Introduction Sisal is an Agave sisalana that yields a stiff fibre traditionally used in making twine, rope, and also dartboards. (The term may refer either to the plant or the fibre, depending on context) It has often been incorrectly referred to as sisal hemp because hemp was for centuries a major source for fibre, so other fibres were […]

A Guide to Wool Carbonizing Process

The vegetable matter is removed by chemical means; the process is called wool carbonizing. The method is comparatively simple. The wool to be carbonized is placed in tanks containing solutions of some strong acid like chloride of aluminum, hydrochloride, or sulphuric acid. Here it remains for a period of twelve hours, during which it is […]

Synthetic Fibre Production Process

Synthetic fibre is a processed fibre where different processing steps are involved. It is not get naturally but through different mechanical processes. It is more durable than any natural fibre. It is also cheap in price. Synthetic fibre bought a revolutionary change in the Textile and Clothing industry. Though it is not easy to dye […]

An Overview of Wool Scouring

Introduction The term “scouring” in the generic sense of a process that that removes contaminates from raw wool. Thus, it includes all processes which aim to clean wool including those which use solvent other than water and those which use solid as a carrier for removing the contaminates. Nature of Contaminates The main contaminates of […]

What is Nylon Fibre | History of Nylon Fibre

The Federal trade commission’s definition for nylon fibre – “A manufactured fibre in which the fibre forming substance is long-chain synthetic polyamide in which less than 85% of the amide linkages are attached directly (-CO-NH-) to two aliphatic groups.” In September 1931, American chemist Wallace Carothers reported on research carried out in the laboratories of the Dopant […]
