Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing thermoplastic monofilaments in a titer range of 5-25 dtex, and a monofilament produced by the method.
- Fine monofilament yarns up to about 33 dtex are spun at spinning speeds below 1000 m/min, cooled with blown air, wound up and stretched separately in a second operation at about 750 m/min.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for the production of fine monofilaments which, without a separate stretching process at high winding speeds, achieves and/or improves the properties of known monofilaments.
- a further object is to vary the method in such a way that the desired properties of the monofilaments can be achieved through the setting parameters of the device.
- melt-spun filaments are drawn off over an air-cooled rotating roller, spin-finished and wound up at a speed of 4000 to 6000 m/min.
- the roller as a cooling element, it is possible for the first time to spin monofilaments in the claimed titre range at high speeds. It is also particularly advantageous that the process can be carried out in one stage, i.e. without an additional drafting system. The process is therefore very uncomplicated and, by appropriately varying the roll parameters, such as peripheral speed, distance between spinneret and roll and cooling time, offers a simple prerequisite for influencing the monofilament properties in a targeted manner.
- the thread properties can also be influenced by means of the peripheral speed of the roller and the distance between the spinneret and the roller.
- the thermal treatment can be useful to thermally treat the monofilaments in the area between the roller and the winder.
- the thermal treatment then takes place in an integrated manner at 110-200.degree. C., in particular at 150-170.degree . C., preferably at 150-160.degree.
- the thermal treatment can be particularly useful in the case of fine monofilaments in order to achieve the properties according to the invention.
- thermoplastic monofilaments made from, for example, polyesters, polyamides, polyacrylic, polyvinyl fluoride, polyethylene or polypropylene.
- the roller is made of copper, but it can also be made of another metal with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or stainless steel.
- the roller made of a material with good thermal conductivity can also be surface-coated and can be actively cooled.
- the monofilament produced according to the method is characterized by a round profile, a boil-off shrinkage of ⁇ 10%, preferably ⁇ 6%, an elongation of ⁇ 40% and a strength of >35 cN/tex.
- the number of monofilaments that can be produced from a spinneret is not critical for the process according to the invention and is only dependent on the width of the cooling roller and the arrangement of the spools.
- 1 is a spinning block. Fila ments are denoted by 2, 2′ and 2′′.
- a roller 3 which can be rotated at a peripheral speed of 800-1600 m/min is followed by an air-cushioned deflection roller 4.
- a heater 6 can be provided between the deflection roller 4 and the spooler 7.
- the device 5 for applying a spin finish can be arranged before and/or after the heater 6 .
- the filaments 2, 2', 2" are drawn off directly from the nozzles of the spinning block 1 by means of the spooler 7 at a speed of 4000 to 6000 m/min and wound onto a number of spools corresponding to the number of filaments.
- the filaments 2 run , 2', 2" over a part of the rotating surface.
- the roll 3 itself is not actively cooled.
- the heat supplied to the roller 3 by the filament 2 is given off to the environment via the comparatively large roller surface.
- the contact length of the filament 2 is adjusted by means of the deflection roller 4 . Before or after a possible heat treatment by the heater 6, a spin finish is applied to the thread via the device 5.
- a polyester with a VI of 74 (phenol/dichlorobenzene) was spun as the polymer at extruder temperatures of 275/280/285° C., a melting point of 287 ° C. and a spinning block temperature of 295 ° C.
- the spinneret characteristics were 2 ⁇ 6/.33/4D and 1 ⁇ 5/.33/4D.
- the winding speed was 5000 m/min.
- the peripheral speed of the roll was varied between 800 and 1600 m/min and the distance between spinneret and roll between 60 and 130 cm, depending on the denier.
- the test parameters and yarn properties are summarized in the following table for 6 dtex Examples 1-6a and 10 dtex Examples 7-14.
- a particular advantage of the method according to the invention is that fine monofilaments can be produced in a single-stage process at speeds of over 4000 m/min. By varying the roll parameters, monofilaments with high strength, low elongation and low boil-off shrinkage can be produced at high speeds in one step for the first time.

Abstract
Dans un procédé mono-étape pour la fabrication de monofilaments fins thermoplastiques, le refroidissement est effectué par l'intermédiaire de la surface en rotation d'un cylindre de cuivre à des vitesses d'enroulement allant de 4000 à 6000 m/minute. Un monofilament fabriqué selon ce procédé présente, avec un profil rond, un retrait à l'ébullition < 10 %, un allongement < 40 % et une résistance > 35 cN/dtex.In a single-step process for the manufacture of thin thermoplastic monofilaments, cooling is carried out via the rotating surface of a copper cylinder at winding speeds ranging from 4000 to 6000 m/minute. A monofilament made by this process has, with a round profile, a boiling shrinkage <10%, an elongation <40% and a strength >35 cN/dtex.
