PA/PVA sea-island fiber with water-soluble sea phase and production process thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of superfine fibers, in particular to a PA/PVA sea-island fiber with a water-soluble sea phase and a production process thereof.
Background
The superfine fiber is attracted by people due to the properties of high coverage, soft hand feeling, comfortable wearing, soft luster, good adsorbability and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of clothes, artificial leather, building materials, adsorption and filter materials and the like. The sea-island fiber is a short-term sea-island composite fiber, and it adopts composite spinning technology to respectively use 2 fiber-forming polymers as 'island' and 'sea' components, and makes melt spinning according to different mixing ratio, then utilizes the different solubilities of these 2 components to a certain chemical solvent to dissolve out the 'sea' component and leave the 'island' component, i.e. composite superfine fiber. Sea-island fibers are classified into a solvent-dissolving type (benzene weight reduction method) and a hydrolysis-peeling type (alkali weight reduction method) according to the type of sea-phase polymer and the post-processing process. The benzene reduction method utilizes organic solvents such as toluene and the like to dissolve and remove sea phase, and has the problems of recycling of the solvents, recovery of sea components, removal of trace solvents on superfine fibers and the like; the alkali decrement adopts hot alkali hydrolysis to strip sea phase, which avoids using organic solvent and reduces environmental pollution, but still has the problems of recycling hydrolysis products, treating waste alkali liquor and the like.
In order to solve the problem of environmental pollution of sea-island fibers in removing the sea phase from the source, the project is to apply water-soluble polymer chips to the sea phase of the sea-island fibers, and then dissolve the sea phase by using hot water to prepare the superfine fibers. Among them, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has excellent water solubility, mechanical properties, film forming properties, emulsifying properties, organic solvent resistance and the like, is widely applied to the fields of textile, paper making, wood processing, daily chemicals, medicine, sewage treatment and the like, and is a functional polymer material with wide application. In addition, PVA is considered to be a truly biodegradable synthetic polymer that can be completely degraded by a single microorganism or symbiotic population in nature to produce CO2And H2O, is one of the most potential environmentally friendly materials. Therefore, if PVA can be used as the water-soluble sea phase of the sea-island fiber, it is expected to thoroughly solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by benzene reduction and alkali reduction of the conventional sea-island fiber from the source. However, the melting point temperature of polyvinyl alcohol is lower than the decomposition temperature, and most of polyvinyl alcohol spinning adopts a wet spinning process. This process can only be used for single-component products and not for composite spinning products. Therefore, polyvinyl alcohol must be modified to enable composite spinning.
However, PVA is a polyhydroxylated polymer, and is not melt-processable with other copolymers because it has a melting point (200 ℃ C.) sufficiently close to the decomposition temperature (200 ℃ C.) due to the formation of strong intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups, and is decomposed and not spun by melt-spinning with polymers such as PA, PA derivatives, PA and PA derivatives. The traditional fiber forming only can be solution spinning or single-component melt spinning, can not realize composite melt spinning with island phase resin, and is a decisive factor for preventing PVA from being used for water-soluble sea phase of sea-island fibers.

PVA0599/B enters a screw B, and the temperature of the first zone, the second zone, the 125 ℃, the third zone, the fourth zone, the 150 ℃ and the fifth zone are 115 ℃. The extrusion proportion of the screw A is 85 percent, and the extrusion proportion of the screw B is 15 percent.
(6) Respectively feeding the two extruded and melted raw material melts into a melt pipeline for heating; the heating temperature of the two raw material melts is set to ensure that the standard of island and sea formation is ensured after the two raw material melts are respectively contacted through the distribution pipeline of the composite assembly in the spinning manifold, in the embodiment, the temperature of the melt pipeline of the PA raw material is set to be 260 ℃, the temperature of the melt pipeline of the PVA raw material is set to be 160 ℃, and the heat transfer temperature difference between the island component and the sea component is set to be 20 ℃; as the melting point of the PA is 240 ℃, heat transfer inevitably occurs between the PA and the PVA at the moment when two raw material melts are contacted, the PA transfers the temperature of 20 ℃ to the PVA, and the PVA is instantly heated from 160 ℃ to 180 ℃ and is instantly melted to achieve the spinning condition. Compared with the traditional PVA, the modified water-soluble PVA can be melted at 180 ℃ due to the reduction of the melting point, so that the melting point of the PVA sea component can be ensured to be capable of melting and compounding spinning with PA with a high melting point, the melting point of the PVA is higher than the conventional decomposition temperature of 220 ℃, the PVA cannot be decomposed when reaching the melting point, and the problem that the traditional PVA can not be subjected to melting and compounding spinning due to the decomposition of PA with a high temperature is solved.
(7) Respectively feeding the two raw material melts into a spinning manifold, extruding after accurately metering by a metering pump, distributing into a composite assembly in the spinning manifold, uniformly distributing the island component into the sea component through a distribution pipeline in the composite assembly, and spraying out from the same spinneret orifice to carry out composite spinning to obtain the sea-island type nascent fiber taking PA as the island component and PVA as the sea component; in this example, the island component volume percentage range accurately measured by the metering pump in the spinning manifold was 80%, and the sea component volume percentage range was 20%. The spinning pressure is 15 MPa.
(8) And stretching and post-finishing the prepared island-in-sea type nascent fiber to obtain the clustered island-in-sea fiber. If the sea-island fiber is immersed in hot water, the sea phase component PVA in the sea-island fiber is dissolved off, and the bunched PA superfine fiber can be obtained. In this embodiment, the temperature of the hot water is set to 100 ℃, and the soaking time is 30 seconds, so that the sea component PVA in the sea-island fiber can be completely dissolved.
(III) post-finishing of sea-island fibers
(9) And after the obtained sea-island fiber is subjected to the working procedures of cooling, drafting, oiling, drying, networking and the like, winding to obtain a final sea-island fiber finished product.

Then, PA66 enters the screw A, and the zone temperature is 225-230 ℃ in the first zone, 240-245 ℃ in the second zone, 250-255 ℃ in the third zone, 265-270 ℃ in the fourth zone and 275-285 ℃ in the fifth zone.
