Definitions

  • Wax-like derivatives of saturated straight-chain carboxylic acids containing between about 12 and about 22 carbon atoms are incorporated into a spinnable composition comprising a fiber-forming polyamide having dispersed therein about to 50 percent by weight of a fiberforming polyester,.
  • These wax-like derivatives e.g., metallic salts, amides, and acylated hydrazines
  • spinnable compositions are incorporated into the spinnable composition to the extent of between about 0.05 and about 0.6 percent 'by weight and serve to inhibit the formation of drips in the vicinity of spinneret o-rfices and reduce the occurrence of breaks or wraps during drawing of the spun filaments.
  • This invention relates to the preparation of textile fbers. More particularly, it relates to the preparation of fibers from compositions comprising polyesters dispersed in polyamides. It also includes within its scope the compositions themselves.
  • compositions useful in the production of a ⁇ ariety of textile products including tire cords, drapes, rlothing and the like can be prepared by extruding melt l lended compositions comprising polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate with polyamides especially nylons such as polycaproamide and polyhexamethylene adipamide.
  • the filaments may be formed by first dry blending the polymers suitably in the form of chips and thereafter melt blending the compositions in a screw extruder or analogous device and extruding the molten composition through a spinnerette. @In the molten blend the polyester is dispersed in the polyamide in a fine state of subdivision.
  • Such dispersion is normally attained by subjecting the melt to high shearin the extruder or analogous device and forcing the result melt through a pack of screens, a sand bed or similar fine filter.
  • the molten dispersion is then extruded through the spinnerette into a cooling zone in which the extrudate solidifies in a filamentary form.
  • the cooling one is normally a long stack in which the temperature and humidity are carefully controlled. There is a take-up roll for winding the filaments at the bottom of the stack.
  • the filaments are normally gathered together into yarns which may then be subjected to a drawing operation to improve their physical properties.
  • the drawing operation is generally carried out by extending the yarns at a temperature below the melting point of either component of the yarns and confers molecular orientation along the filament axis so as to increase the strength of the yarns.
  • Draw ratios of from about 3.5 to about 6.5 are normally employed with polyester-polyamide compositions, draw ratio being defined as the ratio of the length of the drawn yarn to the length of the undrawn yarn.
  • Lower draw ratios within this range are used in the preparation of textile yarns where high strength is not necessarily a requirement.
  • Higher dra w ratios within the range are usually used for the preparation of high strength yarns such as yarns intended for use in tire cords.
  • the yarn can be. drawn in either single or successive stages and at least one of the stages is best carried out at a relatively high temperature.
  • the drawing operation is preferably carried out with the aid of a drawpin which localizes the region of drawing
  • the yarn is taken up on a take up roll or a pirn and is then ready for use.
  • the yarn may also be twisted to improve cohesion of the several filaments before use.
  • a break is the rupture of the yarn in the draw zone. This requires a shutdown and restarting of the entire drawing operation.
  • a wrap occurs when one or more but less than all of the filaments in the yarn rupture in the draw zone. The oncoming ends of the ruptured filaments will wrap around the roll instead of moving ahead to the twister. This situation can sometimes be corrected without shutting down, but the properties of the resulting yarn may be adversely affected.
  • the spinning aids employed in this invention have a mold release index of at least 25 when incorporated in pure nylon 6 (polycaprolactam or polycaproamide-, and they do not exert a plasticizing effect on the polyester-polyamide blend, more specifically, they do not reduce the tensile modulus of fibers prepared from the blend.
  • Spinning aids having the desired characteristics are generally derivatives of long chain fatty aliphatic acids such as lauric, palmitic, stearic or behenic acid.
  • Metallic salts, amides and acylated hydrazines are typical examples of useful spinning aids.
  • the following table lists a number of representative wax-like spinning aids found to be useful in accordance with this invention together with their melting points and mold release indices. These representative wax-like spinning aids include diamides derived by the reaction of an aliphatic carboxylic acid and a diamine or hydrazine and alkali or alkaline earth metal salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids.
  • nylon 6 (polycaprolactam or polycaproamide) pellets containing, homogeneously blended therein, 0.2% of the additive to be tested are fed to a Van :Dorn injection molding machine operating at a rear cylinder temperature of 365 F. and a mold temperature of 180 F.
  • the injection line pressure is maintained at 1100 psi. with an injection forward time of seconds and a mold open time of at least 2 seconds.
  • the front cylinder temperature is adjusted to produce the melt viscosity required to fill the mold without flash, i.e., the filmy attachments to the edges of the molded article due to polymer leakage between the halves of the mold.
  • the mold employed is a disk of 2 inches diameter and A; inch thickness provided with a inch diameter plunger flush-mounted in the bottom of the mold and centered therein.
  • the mold is fabricated of Type 430 stainless steel.
  • the melting time is 2 minutes, injection time seconds, and clamp time seconds.
  • the force necessary to extricate the disk from its mold is measured via pneumatic pressure applied to the plunger.
  • a comparative test is made on a control sample of the same polyamide containing no mold release additive.
  • the mold release index is defined as the percentage- Wise decrease in extrication pressure for the test sample in comparison with the control. For example, if the pure polyamide extrication pressure is 110 p.s.i.g. and the extrication pressure of the sample being tested is 60, then the mold release index would be 11060/110 :45. By this test method, spinning aids which are useful in the present invention will have to have a mold release index greater than 25.
  • temperatures, pressures, and residence times are observed and recorded to assure consistency and reproducibility of results.
  • the molding machine is purged with standard pure polyamide polymer. Then the system is purged (usually 20-30 shots) with the polymer under test until uniform results are obtained. During this period, optimum operating temperatures and injection pressure are determined. After purging, the extrication pressures from 10 consecutive moldings are averaged and recorded as the extrication pressure for the polymer/ additive composition.
  • the preferred spinning aids are alkali and alkaline earth metal salts since these compounds are readily and economically available in substantially pure form.
  • Sodium palmitate and sodium stearate are particularly preferred because of the excellent results which can be obtained by their use.
  • the selected spinning aid can be added at any con venient time during the dry or melt blending of the composition or may be incorporated in the polymers during polymerization. It may be added in solid form or in a solution or slurry employing a low boiling liquid which may be removed by evaporation.
  • a Spinning aid in solid particulate form is mixed with the fiber forming polymer components during the dry blending. It is simply added to the dry, particulate blend and the whole mass mixed by stirring or other suitable means. During the mixing the spinning aid is evenly distributed on the surfaces of the polymer particles, thereby assuring its uniform distribution throughout the polymer composition.
  • compositions containing as little as parts by weight of polyester or even less can be achieved with compositions containing as little as parts by weight of polyester or even less.
  • the difliculties outlined above become progressively more troublesome with increasing concentration of polyester. Accordingly, the invention is especially useful with compositions in which the polyester content is 30 parts by weight or higher.

  • That application describes filament-forming compositions comprising from about to about 50 parts by weight of filament-forming polyester dispersed as microfibers in a continuous body of from about 50 to about 90 parts by weight of filament-forming polyamide.
  • the polyamide is further characterized as having not more than 40% end group species which are reactive with the polyester in the melt.
  • the polyester is a long chain polymeric ester having a glass transition temperature when in the amorphous form which is at least 50 C. as measured by differential thermal-analysis and is higher than that of the polyamide component.
  • the reduced viscosity of the polyamide component as measured at a concentration of 0.5 gram of polymer per 100 milliliter of solution in ortho-chlorophenol at 25 C. is in the range of 0.9 to 1.4 and the ratio of polyamide reduced viscosity to polyester reduced viscosity is between about 0.9 and 2.0.
  • the composition is generally melt blended and extruded through the spinnerette at a temperature of from about 260 C. to about 285 C. which is about 10 C. to 40 C. above the melting point of the higher melting component.
  • Polycaproamides and polyhexamethylene adipamides are utilized in preferred embodiments of this invention, although other polyamides prepared from polyamides forming monomers containing from 4 to 14 carbon atoms may be employed.
  • Preferred polyesters include the polyethylene phthalates especially polyethylene terephthalates although other condensation products of dibasic acids such as naphthalene-2,6, and 2,7 dicarboxylic acids, and polyhydroxy alcohols such as ethylene or propylene glycol, or sterically hindered glycols maybe employed.
