Difference between polyester and polyethylene
PET is a plastic resin and the most commonly used plastic material. Thousands of consumer products, beverages and food items are delivered and packaged within this material. Manufacturers like it because it is strong, safe, transparent, and versatile. Customers like it because it’s safe, lightweight and 100% recyclable. The benefit of PET is that it doesn’t transfer any chemicals…

Polyester or Polyamide
Both, polyamide (often called by its most famous brand name: nylon) and polyester are polymers. This means that their fibers are made of a long chain, made of molecules linked to each other. In polyamides, these molecules are linked together by amide linkages (chemical bonds), while the molecules of polyesters are connected by ester linkages. Both fabrics are moisture-resistant…

What makes polyester?
This week at its annual Insight event, NetApp shared an expanded vision for its Data Fabric. We understand the vision, but our concern is the underlying material. ONTAP is hardly high fashion and SolidFire is made of the same LUNs and volumes as NetApp. They are simply an unnatural fit for the modern data center—kind of like 70 s polyester. If you want to avoid being draped…

People make polyester out of oil. You take the oil, which is a kind of very big hydrocarbon…

Different Types of polyester
Polyester fibers, the synthetic fibers, are long chain polymers derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. They are formed through chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol. In this reaction, two or more molecules combine to make a large molecule whose structure repeats throughout its length. These molecules are very stable and strong. There are variations in the compositions…
