Abstract:
Noise study has been undertaken in the three units of a polyester fiber plant. The level and frequency characteristics of the prevailing noise have been studied and speech interference levels evaluated. The results are discussed with reference to the maximum permissible occupational noise exposure limits as allowed by the ISO and other national standards. Some recommendations have also been made to provide safety measures to the workers against high level noise in these units.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...
