Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a yarn for a field of artificial grass by extruding a polymer material into a monofilament, stretching the monofilament at an elevated temperature, relaxing it to obtain a band and twisting several bands together into a yarn.
  • a method of this kind is known from EP-A-417,832, wherein a yarn is produced by extruding the granulate and making bands having a width of 2 - 3 mm from the extrusion product, which bands have a width of 1 - 2 mm after stretching, whilst the thickness amounts to 50 - 70% of the original thickness of the extruded bands, whereupon 5 - 10 bands are twisted together into a yarn. It has now become apparent that the mechanical properties of the yarn may be improved by giving the yarn a predetermined form, obtained by extrusion to monofilaments and by stretching them under specific herebelow given circumstances.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that said extrusion takes place via a spinning plate having such a form that monofilaments are obtained, which in the cross-section have regularly spaced-apart protrusions having a height of 10 - 40% of the thickness of the monofilament without protrusions, being a thickness of 100 - 700 ⁇ m and a width of 1-5 mm, then strectching takes place at a stretching ratio between 1 : 2 and 1 : 10, whereby bands having a thickness of 50 - 350 ⁇ m and a width of 0.5 - 2 mm are obtained after relaxing and cooling, and in that subsequently 5 - 10 bands are twisted together in order to obtain said yarn.
  • the polymer to be used is preferably a block copolymer consisting of polypropylene and polyethylene marketed by Solvay, Belgium. More in particular the monofilaments have a thickness of 100 - 150 ⁇ m and a width of 1 - 1.5 mm after stretching. This is in particular achieved when stretching ratio of 1 : 3-6 is used.
  • the yarn, produced in accordance with EP-A-417,832 has the property that it post fibrillates less than the uptill then known yarns, as result of which the life of the yarn is extended and the field of artificial grass obtained with that yarn can be played on for a longer period of time.
  • the playing-properties can be maintained for a longer period of time, because the field will get less compact by the particles as fibrilated.
  • Another effect achieved by using the method according to the invention is that the yarn will become less sensitive to breaking. This is in particular achieved by giving the cross-section of the yarn a knobby structure, whereby the knobbs are provided in regularly spaced-apart relationship on the monofilaments and thus on the yarn produced from said monofilaments.
  • the core of the monofilament is indicated at 1 and the protrusions are indicated at 2.
  • the thickness of the monofilament is about 100 ⁇ m and the protrusions have a height of 10 - 20 ⁇ m.
  • the monofilaments shown in Figure 1 have a width of 1 - 5 mm and the protrusions may preferably be provided on both sides of the monofilament.
  • the bands For relaxing the bands are reheated by supplying them to rolls having a contact temperature of 155 °C and then cooling them by contacting rolls having a contact temperature of 25 °C, rotating more slowly, so that the bands had been upsetted in a slight way and the sizes of the upsetted bands were a thickness of 125 ⁇ m and a width of 1.2 mm.
  • the yarn was less sensitive for shrinking during processes at elevated temperature. From these bands a yarn was then produced by twisting 6 bands. By tufting the said obtained yarn, turf was produced for artificial grass.
  • the field was for hockey having 280 stitches per meter and having a pile height of 25 mm.
  • the thus obtained carpet was subjected to tests in order to determine its mechanical properties.
  • the carpet obtained from the known yarn already exhibits breakage at 3000 rotations whereas the carpet produced from the yarn according to the invention did not exhibit any sign of pile breakage until 5000 - 7500 rotations.
  • Example 1 The process according to Example 1 was repeated by using pure polypropylene instead of the block copolymer. The results as obtained with the pure polypropylene are the same as the results obtained in Example 1.
