more. Polymers Paraxylene‚ ethylene glycol‚ purified terephthalic acid (PTA)‚ propane‚ and ethane are used by Eastman to manufacture polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymers and polyethylene products including low density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)‚ as well as a clear amorphous thermoplastic in glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG). Eastman also produces a BPA-free polymer in Tritan Copolyester.

This experiment was catalyzed by some Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle problems documented by the company. In order to prevent the loss of a customer‚ our goal is to analyze PET bottles‚ preforms‚ and storage conditions. After heating a bottle and preform to one-hundred and eighty degrees Celsius‚ the bottle shrank and became opaque on the top and bottom of the bottle. The preform became completely opaque and kept its original size and shape. The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) provided

throughout its length. These molecules are very stable and strong. There are variations in the compositions and therefore in the properties of polyester fibers. Types of Polyester The polyester fibers are generally available in two varieties- PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PCDT (poly-1‚ 4-cyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate). PET is the most common production. It is stronger than PCDT‚ while PCDT has more elasticity and resilience. PET can be used alone or blended with other fabrics for making

Bottle water is everywhere. Americans are drinking bottled water like never before. Every second of everyday in the US‚ a thousand people buy and open up a plastic bottle & every second a thousand of plastic bottle are thrown away. According to Sandra Alters in Water: no longer for granted 85 million bottles are consumed a day. So there come a lot of questions in my head: Why do we buy bottle water? Where is the source of water? Where these plastic bottles go when we throw them away? Today‚ I want

Introduction Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials‚ reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials‚ reduce energyusage‚ reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution from landfilling by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal‚ and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass‚ paper‚ metal‚ plastic‚ textiles‚ and others. Nowadays
