Carothers, who invented nylon. (Krapp) In 1946, du Pont purchased the right to produce this polyester fiber in the United States. In 1951, they created a fiber called, Dacron (Krapp) Today, there are two primary types of polyester: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) PCDT (poly-1, 4-cyclohexylene-dimethylene terephthalate) (Krapp) How Fiberglass is Used (Matweb) Sustainable No pollution Fiberglass insulation cuts energy consumption (AAMA) Does not degrade E-Glass Fiber, Generic Environmental Impact "Fiberglass."
