Synthetic fibers made of thermoplastic resins including polyamide and polyester are widely used for clothing and industrial applications because of being high in strength, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and the like.

[0003]
In particular, in addition to its unique characteristics including softness, high tensile strength, coloring property in dyeing processes, and high heat resistance, polyamide fiber is so high in hygroscopicity that it is widely used for applications such as inner wear and sports wear.
However, polyamide fibers are not sufficiently hygroscopic as compared with natural fibers such as cotton and have some problems such as undesired stuffiness and stickiness, leading to inferior comfortability to natural fibers.

[0004]
Against this background, synthetic fibers showing excellent moisture absorbing and releasing properties for preventing stuffiness and stickiness and having comfortability similar to that of natural fibers are now demanded mainly for innerwear and sports apparel applications.

Then, the addition of a hydrophilic chemical compound to a polyamide fiber has been studied most widely. For example, Patent document 1 proposes a method of improving hygroscopic performance by blending polyvinylpyrrolidone, used as a hydrophilic polymer, with polyamide, followed by spinning.

[0022]
It is preferable for the poly(alkylene oxide) glycol to have a number average molecular weight of 300 to 3,000, more preferably 500 to 2,000. A molecular weight of 300 or more is preferable because scattering out of the system during condensation polymerization reaction can be prevented to ensure the formation of a fiber with stable hygroscopic performance. A molecular weight of 3,000 or less is preferable because the poly(alkylene oxide) glycol can be dispersed uniformly in the polymer to ensure high hygroscopic performance.

[0023]
Regarding the component percentage of the polyether ester component (B), it preferably accounts for 20% to 80% by mole of the total quantity of the polyether ester amide copolymer. A percentage of 20% or more is preferable because high hygroscopic performance can be realized. On the other hand, a percentage of 80% or less is preferable to ensure high dyed color fastness and little hygroscopic performance deterioration by washing.

[0026]
Examples of the polyamide used as the sheath component include nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 46, nylon 9, nylon 610, nylon 11, nylon 12, and nylon 612; and copolymer polyamides containing, as a copolymer component, a compound having a functional group that can form an amide with the former, such as laurolactam, sebacic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid. In particular, nylon 6, nylon 11, nylon 12, nylon 610, and nylon 612 are preferable from the viewpoint of yarn-making performance because they are small in the difference in melting point from the polyether ester amide copolymer, serving to depress the thermal degradation of the polyether ester amide copolymer during melting spinning.

The polyether ester amide copolymer used in the core contains poly(alkylene oxide) glycol, and when the poly(alkylene oxide) glycol is heated, radicals will be generated from the molecule and attack adjacent atoms to further generate radicals to cause chain reaction, and the reaction heat will work to increase the temperature up to as high as 200 C. As the molecular weight of the poly(alkylene oxide) glycol decreases, the molecular chain will be heated more easily to generate more radicals and generate more reaction heat.

[0035]
To avoid this, a hindered phenolic stabilizer, which is an antioxidant to capture radicals, is added to the polyether ester amide copolymer contained in the core. However, the addition of a hindered phenolic stabilizer alone will lead to progress of thermal degradation of the polyether ester amide copolymer due to the heat history in the spinning step (high temperature heating for melting the polymer and thermal setting after stretching) and the heat history in high-order processing steps (dyeing, thermal setting, etc. of fabric), resulting in a large decrease in the effective component quantity of the antioxidant working to capture radicals remaining at the stages of fabrics and clothing. As they subsequently undergo repeated tumble drying, the polyether ester amide copolymer will suffer from further thermal degradation and the raw threads will become harder and more brittle and deteriorate in hygroscopic performance. Thus, the texture will become harder due to repeated washing and drying, leading to deterioration in durability and moisture absorbing and releasing performance.

Therefore, if a HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer) type stabilizer is used in combination to prevent a decrease in the effective component quantity of the antioxidant that works to capture radicals remaining in fabrics or clothing products, thermal degradation of the hindered phenolic stabilizer will be depressed to allow a soft texture, high durability, and moisture absorbing and releasing performance to be maintained after repeated tumble drying.

The core-sheath composite yarn according to the present invention shows high hygroscopic performance and accordingly, it is preferred for production of clothing. The intended fabric may be in the form of woven fabric, knitted fabric, nonwoven fabric, etc., as required to meet particular purposes. As described above, a larger AMR value ensures a higher hygroscopic performance and higher comfortability when the fabric is worn. In the case of a fabric at least partly containing the core-sheath composite yarn according to the present invention, therefore, clothing with high comfortability can be produced by controlling the mixing rate of the core-sheath composite yarn according to the present invention so as to adjust the AMR
value to 5.0% or more. Examples of such clothing include innerwear, sportswear, and other various clothing products.
