Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new hybrid yarns which are distinguished by a particularly low thermal shrinkage.
  • Such yarns can advantageously be processed into composite materials or textile fabrics, such as scrims.
  • Hybrid yarns i.e. yarns made from reinforcement and matrix filaments, are known per se. Such yarns are used, for example, as intermediate products for the production of composite materials.
  • a textile fabric is usually first produced from the hybrid yarn; The matrix filaments of these hybrid yarns are then converted by melting or melting into a matrix which embeds or flows around the reinforcement filaments and, together with them, builds up the composite.
  • the matrix filaments are generally not subject to high requirements with regard to strength and other mechanical properties, since these are melted anyway in later processing steps. This eliminates the need for costly post-spinning treatment such as stretching or fixing in the manufacture of such filaments. Matrix filaments therefore inherently show considerable thermal shrinkage, which can adversely affect the product in the later processing steps.
  • so-called two-component loop yarns with high strength and low shrinkage are known. Such yarns were developed in particular for use as sewing threads and are described, for example, in EP-B-363,798. However, such yarns usually do not have matrix filaments made from deep-melting filaments, but are made up of filaments of one type but of different strengths, which are arranged in a core-sheath structure.
  • the yarns according to the invention are distinguished by a very low thermal shrinkage over a relatively large temperature interval.
  • the present invention relates to low-shrinkage hybrid yarns containing reinforcing filaments and matrix filaments made of thermoplastic polymers which have a lower melting point than the melting or decomposition point of the reinforcing filaments.
  • the hybrid yarns according to the invention are characterized in that they have a thermal shrinkage, measured on a yarn sample under a load of 0.0004 cN / dtex at an air temperature of 160 ° C, of less than or equal to 2%, in particular of less than or equal to 1%, and at Air temperature of 200 ° C of less than or equal to 5%, in particular less than or equal to 3%.

  • the shrink bar with the Yarn samples are suspended in a forced air oven and then treated with hot air at a defined temperature for 15 minutes. The change in length of the yarn sample before and after heating in% represents the thermal shrinkage.
  • the mechanical properties of the hybrid yarns according to the invention are dependent on the composition, such as the type and proportion of the reinforcing filaments or the matrix filaments, depending on the physical structure of the yarns, e.g. Degree of turbulence, can be varied within wide limits.
  • the proportion of the matrix filaments is usually 5 to 60% by weight, preferably 10 to 50% by weight, based on the weight of the hybrid yarn.

  • a bobbin with reinforcing roving and a bobbin with matrix roving were placed on a creel.
  • the nature of the rovings and the yarn titer used are listed in Table 1 below.
  • the reinforcing roving was fed directly to a intermingling nozzle via a delivery system consisting of three godets.
  • a heater was interposed between the delivery godets. This was a device for the contactless heating of running threads, as described in EP-A-569,082.
  • the matrix roving was also fed to the texturing nozzle via a delivery unit consisting of two godets and a heating device arranged between them. Instead of or in addition to the intermediate heating device, the delivery godets were heated.
  • the heating device was a device for the contactless heating of running threads, as described in EP-A-579,092.
  • the temperatures of the godets of the delivery plants were between 80 and 130 ° C.
  • the primary hybrid yarn was drawn off by means of a further godet, the surface speed of the godet being adjusted in such a way that the yarn structure was optimized for the textile properties. Details on the implementation of the procedure can be found in the table below.
  • the properties of the hybrid yarns obtained are shown in a further Table 2.
  • Table 1 Manufacturing conditions of the hybrid yarns Example No. Reinforcement roving (type; titer dtex) Matrix roving (type; titer dtex) Lore Heater / godet temperature reinforcing roving (° C) Heater / godet temperature Mat roving (° C) Ampl.
  • hybrid yarns were produced by intermingling.
  • High-strength PET multifilament yarns with a titre of 1100 dtex were used as reinforcing rovings and filament yarns with a titre of 280 dtex based on isophthalic acid-modified PET as matrix rovings. Details of the manufacturing conditions are listed in Table 3. The properties of the yarns obtained are shown in Table 4. Table 3 Manufacturing conditions of the hybrid yarns Example No. Lore Heater / godet temperature reinforcing roving (° C) Heater / godet temperature Mat roving (° C) Ampl.
  • Example 1 Analogous to Example 1, hybrid yarns were produced by intermingling. Glass multifilament yarns of 3000 dtex titre were used as reinforcement rovings and filament yarns of 750 dtex titre based on isophthalic acid-modified PET as matrix rovings. Details of the manufacturing conditions are listed in Table 5. The properties of the yarns obtained are shown in Table 6. Table 5 Manufacturing conditions of the hybrid yarns Example No. Lore Heater / godet temperature reinforcing roving (° C) Heater / godet temperature Mat roving (° C) Ampl.
  • a low-shrinkage hybrid yarn with reinforcing roving made of PET and with matrix roving made of isophthalic acid-modified PET was produced.
  • the yarn titer was 1380 dtex. This yarn was loaded with different pretension weights and each treated for 15 minutes in a forced air oven at an air temperature of 100 ° C or 160 ° C.
  • the following thermal shrinkage values were measured: Preload weight (cN) 0.16 0.5 0.8 1.5 3rd Thermal shrink at 100 ° C 33.5 2.3 1 0.5 0.5 Thermal shrink at 160 ° C 0.4 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.1
  • low-shrinkage hybrid yarns were produced from reinforcing roving made from PET and from matrix roving made from different types of PET modified with isophthalic acid.
  • the manufacturing conditions were the same in each case.
  • the matrix rovings differ in the melting range of the PET type.
  • the proportion of the matrix component in the hybrid yarns was 15 to 20% by volume.
  • the delivery of the matrix roving was between 50 and 100%.
