Background
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, from the beginning of the 80 s of the last century, become outstanding figure as a new generation of high strength, high modulus fibers. People favor the third-generation high-strength high-modulus fiber after the carbon fiber and the aramid fiber, and the characteristics of light weight, high strength and high modulus are attractive. Moreover, such fibers are gaining popularity for their excellent properties of low temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, uv radiation resistance, low coefficient of friction, impact resistance, cut resistance, low dielectric constant, high specific energy absorption, high electromagnetic wave transmittance, and the like.
However, although UHMWPE fibers have many excellent properties, the high specific resistance of UHMWPE fibers makes them prone to static electricity during spinning, which has been a major problem in spinning high performance polyethylene fibers. The excessive static electricity easily causes the increase of hairiness on the surface of the fiber in the processing process, and even the leather roller and the roller can be wound in the drawing stage, so that the drawing end breakage and the pipe blockage are caused. In addition, the phenomenon of winding the leather roller is easy to occur in the roving stage, and hairiness on the surface of the roving is increased. These conditions all make it difficult to continuously spin the high performance UHMWPE fibers.
In the prior art, the polyethylene fiber is required to be subjected to oil spraying and standing treatment before spinning, but the continuous industrial production is not favored. In addition, the common high-speed spinning oil can not meet the process requirements of superfine fibers, and a series of problems such as filament dispersion, broken filaments, broken ends and the like can occur, and the problems seriously affect spinnability and product grade rate. Thus, the finish has become a major obstacle to the industrial production of UHMWPE by high-speed spinning. Uniform oiling is a precondition for stably playing various functions of the oiling agent. Whether the oiling agent can be uniformly attached to the surface of each fiber directly influences the friction behavior between the yarn and the contact part. If the oiling is uneven or too little, the spinning tension fluctuation and even the phenomena of broken filaments and broken ends are caused. Especially for superfine UHMWPE fiber, the oiling uniformity is important due to the large specific surface area, the large number of fiber and low strength. Uniform oiling is closely related to the wettability and surface tension of the finish. In general, the faster the wetting speed, the lower the surface tension, the more uniform the application of oil. The wettability of the oil is mainly determined by the structure of the polyether monomer, and the type of the polyether terminal initiator, the structure of the ether chain and the like have obvious influence on the wettability.
The UHMWPE high-speed spinning fiber is easy to damage in the processing process because of the characteristics of fineness, high processing speed and multiple working procedures. Considering the problems of uniform oiling, the influence of the oiling agent on the fiber structure, mechanical property, friction disc, biodegradability, oil film strength and the like, the oiling agent formula is carefully designed from the relation of the oiling agent structure and the performance, and a stable oiling agent formula is developed through pilot scale and pilot scale. The innovation not only solves the spinnability problem of UHMWPE high-speed spinning and improves the first-class product rate of the fiber, but also carries out deep research on the basic problem in the development and production of domestic chemical fiber oiling agents, and has positive significance for improving the research level of the domestic chemical fiber oiling agents. With the development of the spinning process from low speed to high speed, the requirements of the spinning speed on the oiling agent are also more and more strict. In order to meet the requirement, it is important to develop a high-quality spinning oil agent matched with a high-speed spinning process. According to the special requirements of the high-speed spinning process on the oiling agent, the problems of bundling, static resistance, friction characteristics and the like are mainly solved, and the oiling agent specially designed for UHMWPE fiber high-speed spinning is developed. The oil agent ensures that the first quality of the silk is up to 97%, and the quality and the production efficiency of the fiber are obviously improved.
