Definitions

  • synthetic fibres as a replacement for natural raw materials has many applications, and is not just for woven products. Depending on the nature of the end product and its intended use, these synthetic fibres need to meet specific requirements to guarantee good quality and ease of maintenance. Often the synthetic fibres need to undergo a particular process.
  • a standard process is the siliconization of synthetic fibres, which gives them a number of beneficialal properties which are necessary if, for instance, they are to be used as fillers : their lubricity and elasticity is increased and they appear to be more resistant to washing with warm water and cleaning with chemicals. If, for instance, the synthetic fibres are to be used for carpet fibres then the anti-soiling properties (soil resistance) are greatly increased through siliconization.
  • a number of methods are used to siliconize synthetic fibres and these can be separated into two major groups.
  • silicone products emulsions and/or silicone oils
  • One disadvantage on these methods is that the various subsequent processes (strengthening, texturing, etc.) are influenced negatively. It is also difficult to apply the silicone films evenly, especially when using low doses.
  • Another disadvantage is the fact that the contact bonding between the silicone and the surface of the fibre is inadequate, especially when polyolefin resins are used, guaranteeing only limited resistance to washing and chemical cleaning.
  • the second group of methods for applying silicone to synthetic fibres is the incorporation of silicone products within the synthetic fibres, especially as a release agent (for instance for use with injection molding) or as a lubricant.
  • the disadvantage here lies in the processing problems which are encountered in the manufacture of "non-woven" and fibres.
  • nonwoven webs from a composition composed of at least one thermoplastic polymer and at least one siloxane-containing additive.
  • fibres are formed by a process involving the steps of extruding a molten thermolastic composition containing siloxane additive through a die; drawing the fibres; collecting the fibres on a foraminous surface as a web of entangled fibres; and heating the web at an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to cause additional additive to move to the surfaces of the fibres.
  • the main objective of the invention of the patent is to achieve a rapid migration of siloxane additive to the fibre surfaces, which is enhanced by heat treatment of the web of the fibres laid on the foraminous support.
  • the purpose of the invention is to create a manufacturing process for continuous siliconization of synthetic fibre surfaces, thereby allowing the manufacture of synthetic fibres which do not display the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • An object of the invention is manufacturing process for internal siliconization of synthetic fibres, characterized by the addition of polymer siloxane products to the high molecular weight polymer raw materials which are to be used for the manufacture of synthetic fibres.
  • the polymer siloxane is added evenly into powder raw materials. This is then heated to an elevated temperature whilst being mixed vigorously, followed by cooling.
  • Another characteristic of this method is that further processing of the raw material can be carried out, to form a compound and/or masterbatch, depending on the concentration of the polymer siloxanes which have been introduced.
  • the method is characterized in a subsequent step when, by means of mechanical action on the spinning thread, crystalline defaults are created which lead to larger surfaces and exit points through which the silicone can distribute on the separate fibre surfaces.
  • the method is also characterized by the fact that the concentration of the polymer siloxanes on the surface of the fibres is kept as low as possible during the spinning process (as close to zero as possible) and that the siliconized surface is only achieved after all steps, necessary for the manufacture of the synthetic fibres, have been completed, though continuous migration and distribution of the polymer siloxane products, from the transverse section to the surface of the siliconized synthetic fibres.
  • the method is characterized by the fact that the following raw materials (high molecular weight polymers) can be used:
  • the following siloxanes can be used : poly-dimethyl - and poly-methyl-phenyl siloxane with a viscosity range of 1000 to 20.000 mm2.s-1 (25° C), and mixtures of these products.
  • the polymer siloxanes are added to the high polymer raw materials in concentrations of between 0.5 and 20 percentage weights based on the total weight of those high polymer synthetic fibre materials.
  • the polymer siloxanes used are chosen in such a way that the migration towards the surface of the synthetic fibre is slowed down, thereby preventing disturbances during the spinning process of the synthetic fibre, and that it is followed by stabilization. This will result in a permanent silicone layer even after washing and/or chemical cleaning thanks to a continuous migration of the polymer siloxanes to the surface.
  • the method is further characterized by the ability to spin the material into synthetic fibres with varying cross sections - after the high molecular weight polymer raw materials suitable to the manufacture of synthetic fibres and the correct doses of polymer siloxanes have been added and mixed.
  • the cross section can be oval, round, triangular, trilobal and/or cellular with various titres, for instance 1.7 to 200 dtex - for instance 4 to 150 mm, with various pigmentations, for instance black, white or coloured, and with various textures, for instance, two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional folds, as well as various curves, for instance 2 to 12 curves per cm.
  • Another object of the invention is the internally siliconized synthetic fibres produced by this method which are characterized by an even and permanent migration of the polymer siloxane products from the transverse cut to the surface even after the silicone layer has been removed by washing and/or chemical cleaning.
  • the synthetic fibres manufactures using the above mentioned high molecular weight polymer raw materials have a trilobal transverse cut of 6.7 dtex, a staple length of 60 mm, a white colour and three-dimensional folds with 6 to 7 curves per cm.
  • Another possible method deviates from the aforementioned and is characterized by the fact that, using siloxane products with a high degree of viscosity, and using suitable measuring equipment (for instance gear pump), they can be added directly, in the correct doses, to the high molecular materials during the spinning process in the extrusion equipment.
  • suitable measuring equipment for instance gear pump
  • the raw material used is polypropylene with an MFI of 14 [230°C, 21,8 N] and a density of 0.91 g/cm3.
  • a 2 percentage weight of poly-dimethyl siloxane with a viscosity of 1000 mm2.s-1 (measured at 25° C) and a density of 0.97g/cm3. (measured at 25° C) is added evenly, and in the correct quantities, to polypropylene powder at a temperature of 120° C, and while under constant mixing. After the addition, the product is cooled to room temperature, whilst still in constant mixing. After a rest period the mixture is granulated using the known method.
  • the granular substance which contains the polymer siloxane and which has been prepared according to the invention is added as a masterbatch into a synthetic fibre apparatus and extruded in 1:1 proportions with polypropylene granules which contain 5% butadine styrol derivative and 0.5% titanium dioxide.
  • the extrusion and the orientation are done following known methods.
  • the spinning-thread is conducted at high speeds of 1400-1500 m/s against lamellae in a hot air jet chamber. This will give them a three-dimensional fold.
  • the spinnerettes are equipped with trilobal openings making a titre of 6.7 dtex possible.
  • the staple length is set at 60 mm.
  • the polymer powder and additives are mixed in a fluidised bed mixer 15 seconds on low speed and 30 seconds on high speed.
  • the polymeric siloxanes are sprayed in the mixer (while mixing) and mixed on high speed into the polymer powder.
  • the mixing takes ⁇ 10 min until a temp. of 120°C max is reached (for PP).
  • the polymer is cooled to room temperature.
  • Low speed 500 m/min
  • High speed 1500 m/min
  • the mixture is pelletised on an equipment of type ZSK 53, marketed by Werner & Pfleiderer Extrusion temp. (°C) : Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 outcoming Melt 190 190 190 190 200 210 Rpm screw : 144 Output : 100 Kg/h
  • Extruder single screw extruder 40 mm dia. 28 I/d Temperatures : (°C) Z1 Z2 Z3 Z4 Z5 200 210 220 230 240 SPINBEAM PUMP SPINNERETTE 250 250 250 Extruder rpm : 35 Regulating pressure : 80 Bar Pump : 2X52 holes Take up speed : 480 m/min Strain ratio : 3 Drawing speed : 1432 m/min Drawing temperature : 120°C Texturation temperature 135°C Cut speed : 1230 m/min
  • the temperature ment for mixing of the components is maximum 120°C to avoid softening and sticking of the PP, and the polysiloxane is actually spread on the surface of the powder base-material.
  • HDPE high polymer
  • the extrusion equipment, and especially the temperature controls, are set for HDPE. This also applies to the temperature in the mixer during the addition of the silicone product to the powder raw material.
  • the other steps used are the same as in the first example.
  • Spinning of fibres in this example is done on the same principle as in example 1 but spinning temperatures are adjustd to the polymer type.
  • a polyethylene (LLDPE) is used with an MFI of 18/190° C and a density of 0.93 g/cm3.
  • Spinning of fibres is done as previously described but temperatures are adjusted to the polymertype.
  • the raw material used is PP with an MFI of 14 (230°C, 21,8 N) and a density of 0.91 g/cm3 at 23°C.
  • a poly-dimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 20 000 mm2/s (25°C) is added evenly (4% siloxane weight conc. in the matrix), and in the correct quantities, to the melt of a high polymeric PP at temperatures of 200°C-230°C.
  • the polymeric siloxanes are injected in a twin screw extruder with a volumetric pump.
  • the PP and silicon is mixed in the extruder and the material is granulated.
  • This method differs from the pre-mixing practice because the mixing and homogenisation of the two components (PO & Polysiloxane) takes place during the extrusion process of the polymer into granules or directly into fibres.
  • the raw material is PP and a poly-methyl phenyl siloxane is used (viscosity 1000 mm2/s).
  • the poly siloxane is dosed with a volumetric pump directly into the spinning extruder and in such way that the silicon level is 2% in respect to the total weight of the fibre raw material.
  • An advantage of the operating method, according to the invention lies in the fact that the various sequential procedures which the synthetic fibres are submitted to during their manufacture and/or processing, are not influenced negatively by siliconization, as this only becomes operational later on. (the positive synthetic fibre characteristics remain stable during processing and manufacture).
  • Another advantage of the operating method, according to the invention, and the siliconized synthetic fibres, according to the invention, is that, after manufacture and processing of the synthetic fibres, an even distribution of the silicone film is achieved, and that this remains permanent, through continuous migration of the siloxane products from the centre to the surface of the synthetic fibres, replacing any silicone layer lost through washing or chemical cleaning. This gives a high resistance to washing and chemical cleaning.
