Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for producing a blend of homofilament and heterofilament fibres, such fibres usually being destined for use in the production of non-woven webs by a carding process.
  • the blending of such fibres, in a staple form is carried out as a first stage in a carding process.
  • the staple fibres themselves are produced by drawing a tow of either continuous heterofilaments or continuous homofilaments, subjecting the drawn tow to a crimping operation and chopping the tow into a convenient staple length.
  • a method of blending homofilament and heterofilament fibres together comprising forming a continuous composite tow from a plurality of the homofilaments and a plurality of the heterofilaments, drawing the tow and cutting the drawn tow to form a blend of staple fibres.
  • the filaments are produced by melt extrusion of the molten polymer through a multiorifice spinneret and groups of filaments from a number of spinnerets are combined into a tow.
  • the tow used in the method of the invention is formed in a similar manner with one or more of the spinnerets producing one or more groups of heterofilaments and one or more of the spinnerets producing one or more groups of homofilaments.
  • the method of the invention is particularly suited to the blending of homofilaments of polymers based on terephthalic acid, the best known representative being polyethylene terephthalate, and heterofilaments having a core of a polymer based on terephthalic acid, for example polyethylene terephthalate, and a sheath of a polymer such as polyethylene isophthalate/polyethylene terephthalate copolymer.
  • blends useful in the production of non-woven webs can be produced by the method of the invention using a composite tow containing from % to 95% of homofilaments of polyethylene terephthalate and containing from 95% to 5% of heterofilaments having a core of polyethylene terephthalate and a sheath of polyethylene isophthalate/polyethylene terephthalate copolymer.
  • Such blends in staple form can be readily converted into a non-woven web by a carding process, optionally followed by cross-lapping or by an air laying process.
  • the composite tow may be drawn by any suitable process which produces a drawn tow of high uniformity even though both homofilaments and heterofilaments are present in the tow.
  • the drawn tow is chopped into staple fibre it is subjected to a further treatment which serves to impart a crimp to the individual fibres in the tow. Conveniently this is achieved as a last stage in the drawing operation by use of a standard stuffer box crimper.
  • One advantage of the described method of blending is that it allows full utilisation of the draw frame.
  • Full utilisation of the draw frame requires an optimum tow size. Hitherto, in the production of staple fibre for blending by carding, such a size may not be achieved with an unblended tow.
  • the composite tow used in the method of the invention is of much greater size allowing full utilisation of the frame.
  • Another, and a probably more important advantage, is that, because more effective blending is achieved, webs of much superior strength can be produced.
  • Staple fibre was produced from 67/33 core/sheath heterofilament fibre having a polyethylene terephthalate core and a 20 mole % polyethylene isophthalate/polyethylene terephthalate copolyner sheath by forming a tow from a plurality of filaments, drawing the tow by the process described in UK Patent No 1 362 793 with a subsequent stuffer box crimping operation and cutting the drawn crimped tow by means of a Lummus cutter into staple of 38mm length and 1.7 decitcx.
  • staple fibre was produced from polyethylene terephthalate homofilament fibre. The staple had a length of 38 mm and a decitex of 1.7.
  • the tensile strength (wet) of each bonded web was measured in the machine direction and in the cross machine direction.
  • the overall fabric strength normalised to 25 gsm was calculated from these measurements.
  • a graph A of overall fabric strength against percentage of heterofilaments in the fabric was prepared from the results obtained.
  • a plurality of continuous heterofilaments were blended with a plurality of continuous polyethylene terephthalate homofilaments to form a composite tow of filaments.
  • the tows were drawn by the process described in UK Patent No 1 362 793, with a subsequent stuffer box crimping operation and cut into staple by a Lummus cutter.
  • the staple had a length of 38 mm.
  • the homofilaments were of 2.0 decjtex and the heterofilaments of 2.1 decitex.
  • the staple fibre blends were converted into ca 25 gsm webs by the same carding process as was used in the COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES.
  • the tensile strength (wet) of each bonded web was measured in the machine direction and in the cross machine direction.
  • the overall fabric strength normalised to 25 gsm was calculated from these measurements.
  • a graph B of overall fabric strength against percentage of heterofilaments in the fabric was prepared from the results obtained.
