Definitions

  • Elastic yarns notably spandex yarns
  • the use of such yarns is relatively expensive, not only because of the cost of the fiber, but also because in order to obtain the maximum benefits of the elastic properties of the yarn, the yarn must be woven or knitted in a stretched condition, requiring specially adapted machinery, which operates at processing speeds less than those employed with conventional non-elastic yarns.
  • the yarns of the invention can be processed in a non-stretched mode, as a conventional yarn, and when formed into a processed, e.g., woven, knitted or tufted article, can be contracted to provide an elastic particle.
  • Composite yarns comprising elastic yarns and a covering of entangled relatively inelastic filaments are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,940,917. These yarns are formed by conducting the entangling step when the elastic yarn is in a stretched condition.
  • This invention relates to melt extruded latent contractable filaments which are formed by melt extruding certain segmented physically crosslinked thermoplastic polymers to form filaments, which filaments, when heat processed at elevated temperatures, significantly contract to yield an elastic filament.
  • This invention also relates to the formation of composite covered yarn comprising the latent contractable melt extruded filaments.
  • this invention relates to processes for forming articles from the latent contractable filaments or covered yarns and subsequently contracting the yarns to form an elastic article.
  • the present invention provides a method of forming an elastic filament which comprises melt extruding a segmented inherently elastic polyester-polyester or polyester-polyether thermoplastic polymer which contains interspersed relatively hard segments and relatively soft segments and then without prior deliberate drawing exposing the melt extruded polymer to an elevated temperature in the range of from 40°C to 125°C to linearly contract the melt extruded polymer at least 15% to provide an elastic filament.

  • the present invention provides a process for combining a latent contractable melt extruded filament formed from a segmented inherently elastic polyester-polyester or polyester-polyether thermoplastic polymer which contains interspersed relatively hard segments and relatively soft segments with a relatively inelastic synthetic polymer filament to produce a composite yarn which comprises continuously feeding at least one latent contractable melt extruded filament at a first predetermined feed rate and at least one relatively inelastic filament and at a second predetermined feed rate through a jetted high velocity fluid and impinging the jetted fluid on the filament axis at an angle of 90° + 45° to separate the inelastic filaments and entangle the inelastic filaments around the melt extruded filament at spaced intervals; the rate of feed of the inelastic filaments being adjusted with respect to the rate of feed of the melt extruded filaments so that the rate of feed of the inelastic filaments is less than twice the rate of feed of the melt extruded filament and is a
  • the present invention provides a process of forming a stretchable textile article which comprises forming a predetermined over-sized article with yarns comprising a latent contractable filament formed form a segmented inherently elastic polyester-polyester or polyester-polyether thermoplastic polymer which contains interspersed relatively hard segments and relatively soft segments which contracts at least 15% as compared to its original length when exposed without prior deliberate drawing to an elevated contraction inducing temperature to provide an elastic filament and exposing the resultant textile article to an elevated temperature sufficient to contract the latent contractable filament at lest 15% to form a stretchable article of a desired size.
  • the ordinarily relatively unoriented soft segment is oriented, at least to some degree, followed by cooling, which fixes the filament in a relatively oriented state.
  • the orientation of the soft segment created by the melt extrusion is dissipated, causing contraction of the filament and the creation of substantially increased elastic properties in the filament.
  • polyester-polyester or polyester-polyether polymers which can be employed are polymers consisting of a hard segment and a soft segment capable of forming one phase in the melt, which yield a poorly phase separated morphology when quenched and that, upon latent contraction by a heat treatment, produce a well phase separated morphology.
  • thermoplastics segmented copolyester polyethers consisting essentially of a multiplicity of randomly occurring intrachain segments of long-chain (soft segments) and short chains (hard segments) ester units, the long-chain ester units being represented by the following structure: where L is- a divalent radical remaining after the removal of terminal hydroxyl groups from poly(oxyalkylene) glycols having at least 1 nitrogen containing ring per molecule, a carbon to nitrogen ratio in the range of from 3/1 to 350/1, and a molecular weight in the range of from 200 to 8,000, and R is a divalent radical remaining after the removal of the carboxyl groups from a dicarboxylic acid having a molecular weight of less than 300.

  • the two filament supplies pass through a fluid intermingling jet with the device 7, which may have filament guides at the entrance and exit to center the filaments within the jet which intermingles the hard fiber filaments with the melt extruded filament.
  • the resultant composite yarn 8 then passes one or more wraps about roll 9 and then to a windup device and package 10.
  • a useful composite yarn comprises, for example, two heat contracted elastic filaments 11 and 12, intermingled with five inelastic filaments 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.
  • the fluid jet intermingling device may be one of those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,364,537 and 3,115,691 U.S. Patent No. 3.426,405, for example, in which one or more fluid streams impinge on the yarn line at an angle of 90° ⁇ 45°.
  • the essential requirement is that the hard fiber filaments be subjected to a fluid stream having an appreciable component of force at right angles to the filaments to separate them and force them around the inherently elastic yarn and around and between other hard fiber filaments to intermingle the hard fiber filaments by a random braiding action intermittently along the length of the composite yarn.
  • Jets having a unidirectional twisting effect are suitable for the present process only when a yarn oscillates rapidly between a region of fluid torque operating in one direction and a region of opposite torque, as described in U.S. Patent No. 2,990,671.
  • melt extruded filament and the inelastic companion filaments can be fed at greatly varying rates relative to each other, because of the subsequent contractability of the melt extruded filament it is not necessary to overfeed the inelastic companion filaments at rates as high as heretofore considered appropriate.
  • a preferred process comprises continuously feeding at least one of the melt extruded filaments at a first predetermined feed rate and relatively inelastic filaments at a second predetermined feed rate through jetted high velocity fluid to entangle the inelastic filament around the melt extruded filament at spaced intervals, the rate of feed of the inelastic filaments being adjusted to the rate of feed of the melt extruded filaments so that the rate of feed of the inelastic filaments is less than twice the rate of feed of the melt extruded filament and is a rate such that after the resultant composite yarn is exposed to an elevated contraction inducing temperature whereby the melt extruded filament is contracted at least about 15% to provide an elastic filament, when the resultant composite yarn is stretched, the inelastic filaments become load-bearing at a predetermined percent of elastic stretching below the break elongation of the elastic filament.
  • the precontraction melt spun filament and inelastic filament are fed at rates adjusted to form a composite yarn which has the desired elastic extensibility properties after the composite yarns has been heat treated to contract the melt spun filament. Because the elastic filament formed by the heat treatment is shortened, the inelastic filament need not be overfed or at least need not be overfed at high rates to achieve the desired elastic extensibility. In any event, upon stretching, it is desired that the inelastic filaments become load bearing before the break elongation of the elastic filament is reached.
  • the hard fiber multifilaments consists of relatively inelastic continuous filaments of any commonly available textile material.
  • Nylon is generally preferred because of its high strength and low friction.
  • Either uncrimped or crimped yarn may be employed, but crimped-or crimpable yarns must be capable of being held loop-free at the tension required to entangle the filament around the core and wind the composite yarn on a package.
  • the tension-stable textured yarn described in U.S. Patent No. 2,783,609, for example, which has a crunodal surface loops when held at tension, is unsatisfactory for the purpose of the present invention.
  • Two or more different multifilaments yarns may be employed, for example, nylon to give strength at ultimate extension and cullose acetate to provide luxurious textile aesthetics when the fabric is relaxed.
  • Two yarns having differential shrinkage properties may be employed for certain effects.
  • an untextured polyester yarn having high potential shrinkage may be fed with a textured nylon yarn and be entangled around a melt extruded core yarn wherein both hard fiber yarns are at the same tension during entangling and, in contract to those of U.S. Patent No. 2,783,609 remain loop free when wound on the package.
  • the polyester will shrink while the nylon develops crimp.
  • the polyester will become the load-bearing member to limit the ultimate extension of the composite yarn and will permit the textured nylon to retain a degree of crimp and bulk even at ultimate extension of the composite.
  • the retractive power of such yarn may be less than that normally required when these filaments are used alone, since the elastic portion of the present composite yarn furnishes the major retractive power of the composite.
  • the hard fiber filaments therefore, need only have sufficient crimping ability to form the crimps, twists, or coils desired for imparting bulk, opacity or tactile aesthetics to the final fabric. These filaments, therefore, will be processed at higher speeds or under less stringent texturing conditions than would normally be required. This may permit falsetwist texturing, for example, to be performed on hard fiber which is then fed directly into the entangling step in a single continuous process.
  • the hard fiber feed yarns should have low twist, preferably not more than 0.4 to 1.0 turns per 5 centimeters known as "producer twist", or most preferably zero twist. High twist interferes with opening of the filament bundle during the process of intermingling and surrounding the elastic core.
  • Feed yarns having zero or low twist may interlace as described in U.S. Patent No. 2,985,995, but they should not have such a large degree of interlace that thefilaments are unable to separate for random braiding in the present process.
  • a yarn having the lowest degree of interlace consistent with processing, winding, and unwinding is preferred, no interlace being most preferable.
  • the yarns should not have size or finish of such a cohesive nature that it prevents the bundle from opening during the intermingling process although certain finishes may be desirable which allow the bundle to open but aid in retaining intermingling subsequently. Finishes disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,701,248, for example, may be used to improve the performance of yarns of this invention.
  • Yet another useful process for providing a covered yarn comprises spinning cut or staple fibres about the contractable inherently elastic filament by techniques known in the art as "core spinning".
  • Core spinning is described in U.S. Patents 3,380,244; 3,009,311; 3,017,740; and 3,038,295. It is noted that while it has generally been considered necessary to stretch the core filament (elastic filament) to provide a useful composite core-spun elastic yarn, in the present invention, if desired, it not necessary to appreciably stretch the melt extruded filament during the core spinning process.
  • the latent contraction when heat activated subsequent to core-spinning the relatively inelastic staple fibres about the melt extruded filament, allows subsequent elastic extension of the resultant core-spun yarn before the inelastic yarn becomes load bearing.
  • the ester interchange reaction was conducted to recover about 12 pounds of methanol.
  • the resultant reaction product was transferred to a polycondensation vessel and the reaction continued to recover about 4.8 kilograms of 1,4-butanediol and about 46 kilograms of the elastomeric polymer. (TINUVIN is a Registered Trade Mark).
  • the above 40 wt% PBT ⁇ 60 wt% HPOE elastomer in the form of polymer chips stored in bunker (A) were extruded through a 1.27 cm extruder (B), the zones I, II and III of the extruder being at temperatures of 215°C, 218°C and 220°C, respectively.
  • the extruder melt temperature was 205-207°C, and the pump yield for a 50 denier elastic yarn was 2.0 g/min.
  • the polymer was extruded through a 2-hole spinneret (250 ⁇ x 440 u) into a water bath (C) which was at room temperature (-22°C). The water bath temperature was maintained at approximately 20-22°C by constant inflow and outflow of water.
  • the distance between the spinneret and the water bath was approximately 5 inches.
  • a standard polyester finish was applied by means of a kiss-roll finish applicator (D).
  • the speed of the two godets (E and F) is 500 meters/min.
  • the elastic yarn was tangled with the companion yarn (G), 20/5 cationic dyeable textured nylon, by feeding both the yarns through a tangling jet (H).
  • the air pressure for tangling used was 60 psi.
  • the combined yarn was wound on a 15 cm long tube (0.63 cm thickness) using a Leesona winder (J).
  • the elastic yarn was knit in every fourth course of the panty portion at about 3 gram tension.
  • the stitch construction was set on a 1 x 1 rib.
  • the band was made in a 3 x 1 construction of a conventional 560 denier base spandex with a 50 denier cationic dyeable nylon filament, so that the entire panty hose top could be dyed with basic dyes for style purposes.
  • the leg portion knitted from regular dyeable nylon stretch filament yarn, plain or in combination with regular nylon covered spandex, can be dyed with acid dyes. After knitting, the toes of the hosiery panels were closed and the panty portions were slit to construct the total panty hose panty, while a pre- knitted cotton crotch was sewn in.
  • panty hose garment was dyed starting with clean hosiery paddle dyeing machines.
  • Dyeing formulations were added and initial dyeing was run for 10-15 minutes.
  • the bath temperature was raised to 100°C at a rate of about 20° per minute, at which temperature the hose were dyed for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • the latent contraction of the elastic filaments occurred during the dyeing step.
  • the chart direction was reversed after reaching 80% of the breaking elongations for the respective samples in order to exhibit the contraction modulus.
  • the diagram of the boiled-off yarn exhibits the typical elastic characteristics of the elastic composite yarn in finished fabrics. Eighty percent of the breaking elongation measures, in this case, 136% stretch at a load of 70 grams. In textile garment applications, the elastic yarn will usually perform in the 60%-100% elongation range and between 10-25 grams elastic force.
  • Hytrei (Registered Trade Mark) polyether: polyester (polyester hard segments:poly(ethylene terephthalate); polyether soft segments:poly(tetrahydrofuran)) (for preparation, see U.S. Patent 3,763,109) were extruded in the manner generally shown in Example 1 and separate samples of the extruded filament exposed to hot air (80°C) and boiling water for 30 minutes and the extent of latent contraction measures:
  • Example 1 In the general manner of Example 1, a segmented polyether: polyester was prepared consisting of 40% polybutyleneterephthalate hard segment and 60% polyoxyethyethylene (mol. wt. 1000) soft segment. The polymer was melt extruded into a 40 denier filament using a small laboratory ram extruder. Due to the long residence time inherent in the use of this extruder, a relatively weak fiber was produced having a tenacity (gm/denier) of about 0.2, and an elastic modulus at 100% extension of 0.1 gram/denier. The filament, upon exposure to boiling water for 30 minutes was an elastic filament which displayed a 33% contraction from its pre heat exposure length.
  • a segmented polyether polyester was prepared consisting of 40% polybutyleneterephthalate hard segment and 60% polyoxyethyethylene (mol. wt. 1000) soft segment.
  • the polymer was melt extruded into a 40 denier filament using a small laboratory ram extruder. Due to the long residence time inherent in the use
  • a 60% poly(butyleneterephthalate) 40% poly(butylene adipate) polyester polyester with soft and hard segments formed through urethane links was melt spun in a Killian 1 ⁇ 2-inch extruder at 210°C through a 1000 p x 3000 ⁇ spinneret, into water at ambient temperature, and taken up at 300 meter/minutes, to yield a filament having a denier of 73.
  • the filament upon exposure to boiling water for 30 minutes, displayed a 33% contraction of its original length.
  • the filament prior to heat treatment had an elongation of 213% and after heat treatment had an elongation of 382%.
