Sector’s of Application
• Adhesive and Sealants
The synthesized polyester and polyesterimide coatings are solvent resistant and can be used as sealants for sealing
assemblies filled with solvents. They are also water soluble and tacky in nature. They can be used as a paper adhesive.
• Sizing and Finishing Agents for Textile Applications
At present, several polymeric products are used in the textile industries for sizing and finishing. The textile industry is
looking for newer high performance products and water-soluble polyesters may have wide applications in sizing and
finishing oftextiles.

Sector’s of Application
• Freon-Resistant Wire Coatings
Freon-resistant coatings are used in hermitic windings. There is a large scope to develop Freon
resistant water-soluble polyester coatings.
• Recyclable Material’s
Recyclable polyster can be blended with other fibers like cotton and spandex for performance
requirements. Polyester provides a combination of comfort and performance as it can be easily
processed to improve the fiber properties. That is why, it has wide acceptance in various end use
categories like sportswear, leisurewear, women dresses, home textiles, automotive, carpet, other
industrial segments etc.

Sector’s of Application
• Advanced Fabric’s
Advanced fabric weaving technology it developed to make bi-stretch “double beam” fabric. It uses two parallel warps—
one of cotton indigo yarn and other Lycra-covered yarn that gets buried on the inside of the product. The result is low
growth, easy to control warp shrinkage and can be used with a variety of fibers to create specialized fabrics.
• Technological Advancement’s
Technologies of polyester resins, epoxy resins, including resins with special properties.
Technologies of composites including nanocomposites.
Synthesis of auxiliary substances to selected constructional resins.

Sector’s of Application
• Road Construction
Significant innovation are taking place in the field of the new concept of plastic road’s in which a combination of
Polyster along with molten plastic and certain additives mixed with coal-tar for increasing the life and durability of
roads.
• Flame retardant additives
Synthesis and modification of halogen free, hybrid flame retardants along with the polyster can be of immense help in
manufacturing the flame repellent clothes and other coating material for industrial use.

Environmental Effects of Polyester
• Polyesters include naturally occurring chemicals, such as in
the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics such as polybutyrate.
Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but
most synthetic polyesters which are been man made are generally not
bio degradable except few from recent innovations.
• Advanced production technologies, which are used to meet increased
consumption demands, have also made production activities
important to the global environment. The developing technology
brought about the problems like pollution of the environment, air,
and water, thinning of the ozone layer, a decrease of green areas.

Conclusion
Sustainability is much more than a trending word at a certain time. The three
key elements of sustainability are;
1) Economic development
2) Social development,
3) Environmental protection,
And each one each one should be considered in relation to the others.
Sustainability is very crucial because it maintains people quality of life with
protecting diversity and ecosystems in the world with various ways;
protecting natural resources, providing energy savings, decreasing waste
quantity, investment in the future and economy with recycling/reusing.
Namely, it ensures the existence of species.
