Definitions

• the invention relates to sewing thread made from at least one multifilament thread whose twisted individual filaments consist of a thermoplastic material.
• Sewing threads made from aromatic polyamide have a higher temperature resistance.
• their production is quite complex; in addition, their mechanical properties are determined by the manufacturing process (solution spinning), so that they are variable only within narrow limits and cannot be adapted to changing requirements. In addition, they are very difficult to dye. Such sewing threads have therefore not become very important in practice.
• polyether ketones melt as fibers into fibers and can then be stretched.
• a suitable spinning process is e.g. in EP-A-202 082.
• the multifilament yarns obtained have a wide range of properties.
• the individual titer is between 2.8 and 100 denier (corresponding to 2.5 to 90 dtex) and the elongation at break can be 15 to 200%.
• sewing threads can be produced from such fibers and which multifilament threads are particularly well suited for this.
• the object of the invention was to develop thermoplastic-based sewing threads which have a tear strength, elongation at break and dyeability equal to polyester and which are also resistant to hydrolysis and solvents and which permit high sewing speeds even with modern sewing machines.
• thermoplastic is a polyether ketone and the multifilament yarn has a single filament titer (according to DIN 53 830) of 1.0 to 10 dtex, an elongation at break (according to DIN 53 815) of 3 to 30% and a boiling shrinkage ( according to DIN 53 866) of less than 10%.
• the sewing threads according to the invention have good mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and elongation at break, and low shrinkage, and also excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and solvents.
• the good heat resistance which allows high sewing speeds, is particularly advantageous.
• Suitable thermoplastics are polyether ketones, preferably high molecular weight polymers with a relative viscosity, measured 0.5% in 96% sulfuric acid at 25 ° C. of more than 1.0, preferably more than 1.3.
• Preferred polyether ketones are those with the structural units
• Copolymers are also suitable in which up to 50% of the -CO groups by -SO2 groups or are replaced.
• multifilament yarns are particularly suitable for the production of sewing threads which have a single filament titer (according to DIN 53 830) between 1.0 and 10, in particular between 1.5 and 6 dtex and their elongation at break (according to DIN 53 815) 3 to 30%, in particular 5 to 20%.
• the tensile strength of the yarn should preferably be between 4 and 10 cN / dtex.
• Their shrinkage, measured in boiling water according to DIN 53 866, should be less than 10%, preferably less less than 2%.
• the heat shrinkage at 180 ° C. should preferably be below 20%, in particular below 8%.
• the multifilament yarns preferably consist of 10 to 1000, in particular 20 to 300 individual filaments.
• the multifilament yarns are preferably drawn immediately after the spinning process, the drawing ratio advantageously being between 1.5 and 5.
• the multifilaments can also be brought to the required high strengths and low elongation at break values in a rapid spinning process using high winding speeds.
• the sewing threads according to the invention are produced in the usual way from these multifilament threads.
• a twisted multifilament thread can already be used as a sewing thread.
• the direction of rotation S / Z is preferred for pre-twisting and untwisting.
• the ratio of ⁇ to ⁇ from front is expediently chosen so that the finished sewing thread is balanced udn kringel free.
• the twist (according to DIN 53 832) is defined by the equation where T / m means the turns per m.
• the sewing threads according to the invention can be given the usual processing preparations during the spinning process, for example lubricants such as mineral oils, ester oils and alkylene oxide adducts; Emulsifiers such as soaps and ionic or nonionic surface-active substances; also antistatic agents such as phosphoric acid esters of ethoxylated fatty alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acid derivatives. They can also be subsequently equipped with paraffins, paraffin waxes or silicone waxes to improve the sliding properties.
• lubricants such as mineral oils, ester oils and alkylene oxide adducts
• Emulsifiers such as soaps and ionic or nonionic surface-active substances
• antistatic agents such as phosphoric acid esters of ethoxylated fatty alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acid derivatives.
• paraffins, paraffin waxes or silicone waxes to improve the sliding properties.
• a particular advantage of using polyether ketone fibers is that the sewing threads can also be processed without heat equipment.
• the melt spinning apparatus consisted of a single-shaft extruder with 3 el. Heated heating zones, an electrically heated spinneret with 30 holes with a diameter of 0.4 mm, spinning pump (gear type), post-heating zone, blow chute and winding device.
• the heating zones of the extruder and the spinning head were set to a temperature such that the melt reached a temperature of 415 ° C.
• the throughput was 1.6 kg / h.
• the threads passed through an electrically heated post-heater and an air-operated blowing shaft. They were drawn off at a winding speed of 850 m / min and then drawn in a ratio of 1: 3.0, the godet of the drawing device being heated to a temperature of 130 ° C. and the heating plate in the drawing field to 250 ° C.
• the threads had the following properties: Total titre: 109/30 dtex Individual titer: 3.6 dtex Tear resistance: 5.4 cN / dtex Elongation at break: 11.4% Cooking shrinkage: 0.5% Hot air shrinkage: 3.5% Modulus of elasticity: 45.1 cN / dtex
• Example 2 A polyether ketone with the repeating units and a relative solution viscosity of 1.98 was spun in the apparatus described in Example 1.
• the temperature of the melt was 375 ° C.
• the spinneret had 30 holes, each 0.3 mm in diameter, and the winding speed was 700 m / min at a throughput of 1.2 kg / h.
• the spun threads were then hot drawn in a ratio of 1: 2.9 at temperatures of 160 or 210 ° C and then had the following properties: Total titre: 110/30 dtex Individual titer: 3.7 dtex Tear resistance: 5.9 cN / dtex Elongation at break: 14.0% E-module: 68.0 cN / dtex Cooking shrinkage: 2.0% Hot air shrinkage (180 ° C): 5.0%
• a multifilament yarn according to example A2 is wound in parallel on a high-speed winding machine on disc spools.
• 3 of these disc spools are plugged onto the upper level of a thread-thread-twisting machine and first provided with a pre-wire in the S direction.
• the 3 twisted multifilament yarns are folded and twisted three times in the Z direction by means of a ring spindle.
• 530 turns per meter 3 Z, corresponding to ⁇ out 100, were selected for the subsequent unwrapping.
• the sewing thread can be dyed using the customary dyeing processes, but at an elevated temperature in the range from 180 ° to 200 ° C.
• the thermal properties of the present colored sewing thread are extraordinarily good due to the high melting point of 334 ° C for polyether ketone and a maximum temperature for continuous loading of 250 ° C. This would make it possible to dispense with special sewing thread equipment. For reasons of better sliding properties when pulling through the thread guide elements of the sewing machine and when pulling into the material, additional equipment is recommended.
• silicone-containing waxes or emulsions are applied to the dyed sewing thread via a net roller, or other known finishing methods for sewing threads, e.g. Equipment used in the dyeing machine.
• the sewing thread produced by this process has excellent sewing properties compared to conventional sewing thread. It was found in a sewing test that the sewing thread according to the invention has a seam length twice as long as that of breakage compared to polyester filament threads. The significantly better thermal and sewing properties are complemented by excellent hydrolysis resistance and resistance to chemicals, e.g. Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, potassium hydroxide solution and trichlorethylene.
• chemicals e.g. Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, potassium hydroxide solution and trichlorethylene.
