  • This invention relates to spandex comprising polyestercarbonate-urethaneureas and more specifically to spandex prepared from a polycarbonate diol made from poly (hexane-1, 6-carbonate) diol and poly ( ⁇ -capro- lactone) diol, a cyclic aliphatic diisocyanate, and a diamine chain extender.
  • 4,837,292 discloses spandex prepared from the reaction product of polycarbonate diols with diisocyanates and diamine chain extenders .
  • the polycarbonate diols disclosed are poly (pentane-1, 5-carbonate) diol, poly (hexane-1, 6-carbonate) diol, copolymers thereof and mixtures thereof.
  • Italian Patent No. 710,940 discloses spandex made from hexamethylene glycol-based polycarbonate diols, aromatic diisocyanates, and aliphatic diamines . Although spandex based on ordinary polycarbonate diols can have superior environmental resistance, it often has low flexibility and elongation. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No.

  • spandex has its customary meaning: a manufactured fiber in which the fiber- forming substance is a long chain synthetic elastomer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane .
  • the polyurethane can generally be prepared by "capping" a polymeric glycol with a diisocyanate and reacting the resulting "capped glycol” (sometimes called an "NCO-terminated prepolymer") with a diamine to form a polyurethaneurea .
  • the chain extension and subsequent processing are preferably carried out in a suitable solvent.
  • the polyurethane- urea-based spandex can then be prepared by dry or wet spinning the polymer solution; dry spinning is pre erred.
  • the polymeric diol used in making the spandex of the present invention is a modified polycarbonate diol prepared by transesterifying a mixture of poly(hexane-
  • Dialkylcarbonate is intended to include alkylene carbonates.

  • a chain extender can be reacted with the capped glycol in a suitable solvent .
  • the chain extender used in the present invention is a diamine, preferably a low-molecular- weight diamine. If a low-molecular-weight glycol is used, the melting point of the resulting yarn is low, and problems such as a long reaction time arise, which is undesirable. However, minor amounts of low- molecular-weight glycols can be used, provided this is within a range that does not eliminate or diminish the effects of the present invention.
  • low- molecular weight diamines examples include ethylenediamine, 1, 2-propanediamine, 1, 3-propanediamine, 1, 6-hexamethyl- ene diamine, 1, 4-cyclohexyldiamine, 1, 3-cyclohexyl- diamine and mixtures thereof. Ethylenediamine is preferred.

  • Such fibers have a soft stretchability and a suitable tightening force.
  • the diameter or the cross-sectional shape of the fibers of this invention can be circular or flat.
  • the presence of various stabilizers, pigments and the like within the fibers of the present invention is permitted and poses no problem.
