Explanation :
Dacron (Terylene) is obtained by the condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol (1,2-Ethanediol) and dimethylterephthalate. b. Monomers are heated at 503 K.
The catalyst used is a mixture of zinc acetate and antimony trioxide .

Preparation of Terylene:
- In the laboratory Terylene is prepared by polycondensation reaction in which terephthalic acid is heated up with ethylene glycol at 425 – 475 K.
- A mixture of zinc acetate and antimony trioxide is used as catalyst.
- Polycondensation is a chemical condensation reaction which results in the formation of a compound with high molecular weight.
- Successive bonds between the monomers results in the formation of polymer.
- Terylene is also known as Dacron.
- It is a polyester and it doesn’t absorb water.
- It is the strongest polymer.
- It is used to make clothing and water bottles.
- It is mixed with natural fibres like cotton and wool for making various clothes.
