  2. Polyester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

    When melting points of the monomers are sufficiently low, a polyester can be formed via direct esterification while removing the reaction water via vacuum. Direct bulk polyesterification at high temperatures (150 – 290 °C) is well-suited and used on the industrial scale for the production of aliphatic, unsaturated, and aromatic–aliphatic ...

  3. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Polypropylene (PP) is useful for such diverse products as reusable plastic food containers, microwave- and dishwasher-safe plastic containers, diaper lining, sanitary pad lining and casing, ropes, carpets, plastic moldings, piping systems, car batteries, insulation for electrical cables and filters for gases and liquids.

  4. Vectran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectran

    Polyester coating is often used around a Vectran core; polyurethane coating can improve abrasion resistance and act as a water barrier. Vectran has a melting point of 330 °C, with progressive strength loss from 220 °C.

  5. Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclohexylenedim...

    Polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) is a thermoplastic polyester formed from the polycondensation of terephthalic acid and cyclohexanedimethanol. [1] Its chemical structure is similar to that of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with which it shares properties like dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

  6. Polycaprolactone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycaprolactone

    Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic, semi-crystalline, biodegradable polyester with a melting point of about 60 °C and a glass transition temperature of about −60 °C. [2] [3] The most common use of polycaprolactone is in the production of speciality polyurethanes.

  7. Color gel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_gel

    The acetate-based material was replaced by polycarbonates like Roscolar (mylar polycarbonate) and polyester-based filters. These materials have superior heat tolerance. Polyester having the highest melting point of 480 °F (249 °C). Often a surface coating was applied on a transparent film.

  8. Liquid-crystal polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-crystal_polymer

    Molecular structure of Kevlar Molecular structure of the LCP Vectran [5]. Liquid crystallinity in polymers may occur either by dissolving a polymer in a solvent (lyotropic liquid-crystal polymers) or by heating a polymer above its glass or melting transition point (thermotropic liquid-crystal polymers). [6]

  9. Coolmax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolmax

    Like other polyester fabrics, Coolmax is flammable and has a relatively low melting point (~255 °C), giving clothes made from it a tendency to melt and fuse to the wearer's skin when exposed to high heat.
