Definitions

  • a yarn for artificial grass a method of manufacturing said yarn and a field of artificial grass in which said yarn is incorporated.
  • the invention relates to a yarn containing polyamide for producing artificial grass.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method of manufacturing said yarn and to a field of artificial grass in which said yarn is incorporated.
  • Such a yarn for a field of artificical grass is known from Japanese patent publication JP 7048778A.
  • the field of artificial grass is obtained by intertwining polyamide fibre and PE fibre in a base layer. More in particular, the method comprises the provision in a base layer, in a pile length of 25 mm, of a yarn by twisting split yarn made of 5000d polyamide and split yarn made of 5000d high density PE.
  • Such a yarn is also known from Japanese patent publication JP 09119036A, wherein a yarn for artificial turf pile is formed by melt-spinning a polyamide resin composition comprising 70 - 99 % by weight of a polyamide resin and 1 - 30 % by weight of a polyethylene resin.
  • a yarn is furthermore known which is used for making artificial grass, which yarn is manufactured of polypropylene or of a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene.
  • the yarn according to the invention is characterized in that the yarn, in addtion to polyamide, also contains a polyolefin compound selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene.
  • the yarn in particular it is preferred for the yarn to contain 20 - 80 % by weight of polypropylene and 80 - 20 % by weight of polyamide.
  • a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene is used.
  • a particularly suitable block copolymer is the polypropylene/polyethylene block copolymer as described in European patent application No. 0 359 321, which block copolymer is marketed by Solvay, Belgium with a melt flow index of about 4.
  • Such a preferred yarn is preferably composed of 20 - 80 % by weight of block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene, and 20 - 80 % by weight of polyamide.
  • a yarn which, in addition to polyamide, contains the polymer LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene).
  • LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene
  • Such a yarn is preferably composed of 20 - 80 % by weight of LLDPE and 20 - 80 % by weight of polyamide.
  • a polyamide resin composition of polyamide resin and a polyethylene composition containing 50 - 100 % by weight of LLDPE and 0 - 50 % by weight of a maleic acid anhydride modified polyethylene resin is known from Japanese patent publication JP 09119036A, it should be understood that the present composition of 20 - 80 % by weight of LLDPE and 20 - 80 % by weight of polyamide is essentially different from the composition which is mentioned in said Japanese patent publication.
  • JP-A-3,279,419 discloses a fibre which consists of Nylon which is mixed with polypropylene. Said fibre has been used for making clothes. Said Japanese patent publication does not describe the use of such a mixture of polymers for manufacturing artificial grass.
  • US patent No. 5,597,650 discloses a carpet yarn having special properties as regards flame retardation and resistance to stains.
  • Said yarn consists of a polyolefin matrix, preferably polypropylene, in which smaller polyamide fibrils are embedded.
  • Said US patent does not describe the use of such a yarn for manufacturing artificial grass.
  • the polymer is extruded to form monofilaments, which are subsequently processed into bands, with several bands being twisted to form a yarn, and possibly with several yarns being twined to form a composite yarn.
  • This method is characterized in that monofilaments are extruded from one of the polyolefins from the group of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene, and that monofilaments are extruded from polyamide, or in that monofilaments are extruded from a mixture of one of the polyolefins from the group of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene on the one hand and polyamide on the other hand.
  • the core is built up of one of the polyolefins from the group of polypropylene, LLPDE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene
  • the cladding is built up of polyamide.
  • the present invention is not limited to the use of monofilaments, and in a special embodiment it is preferred to use one of the yarns from the group of fibrillated yarn of the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene, fibrillated yarn of HDPE, fibrillated yarn of LLDPE, fibrillated yarn of polypropylene on the one hand and a yarn of fibrillated polyamide yarn on the other hand.
  • the method of producing fibrillated yarn is described in European patent application No. 0 263 566.
  • a foil is made from a polymer which, in addition to polyamide, also contains a polyolefin compound selected from the group of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene, which foil is cut into bands, with several bands being twisted to form a yarn, and possibly with several yarns being twined to form a composite yarn.
  • a polyolefin compound selected from the group of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene
  • a foil from one of the polyolefins from the group of polypropylene, LLDPE and a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene and on the other hand to make a foil from polyamide, after which the bands obtained from said two foils may be processed to form said composite yarn.
  • a combination of mono-filaments and fibrillated yarns, preferably monofilaments of polyamide and fibrillated yarn of the block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene, is also suitable for manufacturing the composite yarn.
  • Monofilaments were obtained by extrusion of the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene on the one hand and by extrusion of polyamide on the other hand, and after stretching said monofilaments, bands were obtained.
  • a method as indicated in example 1 of EP-A-0 648 868 was thereby used for the block copolymer.
  • the bands were processed to form a yarn, thus producing the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene yarn consisting of four non-twisted bands each having a yarn number of 1100 dtex on the one hand and a polyamide yarn consisting of non-twisted bands each having a yarn number of 666 dtex on the other hand.
  • Said two yarn types were twined to form a composite yarn having a yarn number of 8400 dtex.
  • Said composite yarn was then knitted and fixed so as to obtain a teasing effect, after which the teased composite yarn was used for obtaining a carpet for artificial grass.
  • the yarn was tufted with 300 stitches per running metre, and a pile height of 12.5 mm, resulting in a pile insert weight of 1750 g/m 2 .
  • the carpet thus obtained was subjected to various tests in order to determine the mechanical properties, such as the tretrad test for determining the fibrillation, the Taber test for determining the weight loss and the Leroux test for determining the sliding properties.
  • burn tests in accordance with BS 4790 show a low value for the artificial grass according to the invention, which value is comparable with that of artificial grass made from polyamide, but which is better than that of artificial grass made from polypropylene-containing polymer.
  • the artificial grass was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1.
  • a field of artificial grass scattered in with sand was composed, to which end the yarn was tufted with 140 stitches per running metre and a pile height of 34 mm, as a result of which a pile insert weight of 970 g/m 2 was obtained.
  • the carpet thus obtained was subjected to tests comparable with the tests of Example 1. It has become apparent thereby that, also in the case of a field of artificial grass scattered in with sand, the mechanical properties of the yarn composed of the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene and polyamide were much better than those of yarns for fields of artificial grass which were made from polypropylene and from polyamide.
  • Monofilaments were obtained by extrusion of the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene on the one hand and by extrusion of polyamide on the other hand, and after stretching said monofilaments, bands were obtained.
  • a method as indicated in example 1 of EP-A-0 648 868 was thereby used for the block copolymer, so as to obtain a block copolymer having a yarn number of 8800 dtex consisting of 8 bands, each having a yarn number of 1100 dtex.
  • the block copolymer yarn was preferably threaded on the uneven positions on the creel of the tufting machines, whilst the polyamid yarn was threaded on the even positions. It is also possible, however, to use other position settings.
  • the carpet for artificial grass which was built up of separate yarns of block copolymer and polyamide, was tufted with 310 stitches per running metre, and a pile height of 12.5 mm, resulting in a pile insert weight of 1750 g/m 2 .
  • the carpet thus obtained was subjected to tests comparable with the tests of Example 1. It has become apparent thereby that, also in the case of a field of artificial grass, whether or not scattered in with sand, the mechanical properties of the field of artificial grass made from the block copolymer of polyethylene and polypropylene and polyamide were much better than those of fields of artificial grass made from polypropylene and from polyamide.
