Definitions

  • the invention relates to a highly oriented polyolefin fibre containing polyolefin with an intrinsic viscosity of at least 5 dl/g, which fibre has a tensile strength of at least 26 cN/dtex and a modulus of tension of at least 700 cN/dtex, a process for the preparation thereof and the use in ropes or anti-ballistic shaped articles.
  • the invention also relates to improved ropes and anti-ballistic shaped articles.
  • the said highly-oriented polyolefin fibres are known from EP-A-0.205.960.
  • the highly oriented polyolefin fibres described there have a very high tensile strength and modulus of tension and a low creep rate, making them particularly suitable for use in, inter alia, ropes and anti-ballistic shaped articles.
  • the fibres are prepared by spinning a solution of a polyolefin into a gel fibre, extracting the solvent from the fibre, and drawing the extracted and dried fibre in one or more steps.
  • the aim of the invention therefore is to provide highly oriented polyolefin fibres with improved properties in said applications.
  • the fibre contains 0.05 - 5 wt.% of a solvent for the polyolefin (relative to the fibre's total weight).
  • the fibres according to the invention are eminently suitable for use in anti-ballistic shaped articles since shaped articles on the basis of these fibres have a high Specific Energy Absorption (SEA), which means that less fibre, and hence less weight, is needed to obtain the same level of protection. It has also been found that the fibres according to the invention are suitable for use in ropes, inter alia because their compactness is better without any loss in flexibility and because the strength of the ropes is enhanced.
  • SEA Specific Energy Absorption
  • the improved quality of the fibres is particularly surprising since up to now the presence of a significant amount of solvent in the fibre has been considered undesirable as this reduces the mechanical properties of the fibre, in particular because the fibre's creep rate is higher and its strength and modulus are lower. It is also surprising that solvent-containing fibres have a higher anti-ballistic quality than "dry" fibres of comparable strength and modulus, for in itself the solvent cannot contribute to the level of protection, while it does increase the areal density.
  • Fibres that contain solvent are known in the state of the art. However, these fibres are not highly oriented and they are unsuitable for the desired applications as their mechanical properties are not good enough. Within the context of the present application, highly oriented is understood to mean that the fibre has a modulus of tension of at least 700 cN/dtex and a tensile strength of at least 26 cN/dtex (as determined according to the method specified below).
  • the known solvent-containing fibres are intermediates in a process in which the fibre is prepared from a solution. The description makes it clear that the solvent is undesirable in the end product and therefore still needs to be removed.
  • US-A-5,213,745 describes optimum extraction agents for the removal of mineral oil solvent from an undrawn gel fibre.
  • EP-A-0,115,192 describes fibres having a high solvent content and a low tensile strength and modulus of tension. These fibres, too, are intermediates, and as such unsuitable for use in the said applications.
  • the tensile strength (or strength) and the modulus of tension (or modulus) are defined and are determined as specified in ASTM D885M, using a nominal gauge length of the fibre of 500 mm, a crosshead speed of 50%/min and Instron 2714 clamps. Before the measurement the fibre is twisted at 31 turns per metre. On the basis of the measured stress-strain curve the modulus is determined as the gradient between 0.3 and 1% strain. For calculation of the modulus and strength, the tensile forces measured are divided by the titer, as determined by weighing 10 metres of fibre. Creep is here and hereinafter understood to be the elongation as a percentage of the original length after 5 hours under a load of 8.11 gr/dtex at 50°C. The elongation includes the elastic elongation.
  • a fibre is understood to be a continuous or semi-continuous object such as a monofilament, multifilament yarn, tapes or staple fibre yarn.
  • the filaments may have any cross-sectional shape and thickness.
  • the filament titer is at most 5, more preferably at most 3 denier per filament. The advantage of such a low filament titer is that the fibre has better anti-ballistic properties.
  • linear polyethylene is chosen as polyolefin.
  • Linear polyethylene is here understood to be polyethylene with fewerthan one side chain per 100 carbon atoms, and preferably fewer than one side chain per 300 carbon atoms, which may moreover contain up to 5 mol% of or more alkenes that can be copolymerized with it, such as propylene, butene, pentene, 4-methylpentene or octene.
  • the fibre may contain small amounts of the additives that are customary for such fibres, such as anti-oxidants, spinfinish, thermal stabilizers, colourants, etc.
  • the polyethylene has an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of more than 5 dl/g. Because of their long molecule chains, polyolefin fibres with such an IV have very good mechanical properties, such as a high tensile strength, modulus, energy absorption at break. This is also the reason why even more preferably the polyolefin is a polyethylene with an IV of more than 10 dl/g.
  • the IV is determined according to method PTC-179 (Hercules Inc. Rev. Apr. 29, 1982) at 135°C in decalin, the dissolution time being 16 hours, the anti-oxidant is DBPC, in an amount of 2 g/l solution, and the viscosity at different concentrations is extrapolated to zero concentration.
  • the tensile strength of the fibre is at least 26 cN/dtex and the modulus at least 700 cN/dtex.
  • the modulus is at least 880 cN/dtex, more preferably at least 1060 cN/dtex, and most preferably at least 1235 cN/dtex.
  • the strength is preferably at least 31 cN/dtex, more preferably at least 33 cN/dtex, and most preferably at least 35 cN/dtex.
  • the fibre according to the invention has a tensile strength of at least 26 cN/dtex, a modulus of at least 700 cN/dtex, a solvent content of 0.05 - 2 wt.% and a creep of at most 20%, more preferably at most 15%, even more preferably at most 10% and most preferably at most 5%.
  • a low creep is favourable in particular for use in ropes.
  • the creep can be reduced further.
  • the creep then is at most 10% and more preferably at most 5%.
  • Solvent is here and hereinafter understood to be a substance that is capable of dissolving the polyolefin in question.
  • Suitable solvents for polyolefins are known to one skilled in the art. They can, for example, be chosen from the 'Polymer Handbook' by J. Brandrup and E.H. Immergut, third edition, chapter VII, pages 379 - 402.
  • a solvent with a chi-parameter for the polyolefin used in particular polyethylene, of less than 0.5, more preferably less than 0.45, even more preferably less than 0.4, and most preferably less than 0.35. Chi-parameters of solvents are presented in Handbook of sol.
  • suitable solvents for polyolefin, in particular for polyethylene are, separately or in combination: decalin, tetralin, toluene, lower n-alkanes such as hexane, (para-)xylene, paraffin oil, squalane, mineral oil, paraffin wax, cyclooctane.
  • the solvent is most preferably paraffin oil or decalin.
  • the solvent is a non-volatile solvent, such as paraffin oil.
  • a non-volatile solvent such as paraffin oil.
  • a non-volatile solvent is understood to be a solvent that virtually does not evaporate at a temperature below the melting temperature of the polyolefin.
  • the fibre according to the invention contains 0.05 - 5 wt.% of a solvent for polyolefin. Solvent contents below 0.05 wt.% have no or hardly any effect. Contents higher than 5 wt.% have the disadvantage that they no longer essentially contribute to the improvement in, or even impair, the anti-ballistic properties.
  • the SEA increases with the solvent content up to a certain optimum solvent content, at which the contribution to the energy absorption no longer compensates for the increase in areal density and above which the SEA drops again.
  • the solvent content is preferably chosen with a view to obtaining the highest possible anti-ballistic quality.
  • the optimum solvent content also depends on the fibre configuration, the quality of the solvent chosen, and the compression conditions. On the basis of the guidelines given here, one skilled in the art can determine the optimum amount for each process condition.
  • the solvent content in the fibre is preferably from 0.1 to 3 wt. %, more preferably 0.2 - 2 wt.%, even more preferably 0.2 - 1.2 wt.%, and most preferably 0.3 - 1.0 wt.%.
  • Such low solvent contents are preferably used for good solvents, in particular solvents having a chi-parameter lower than 0.5, and for use in uni-directional composites.
  • the solvent content of the fibres can be determined in a known way, for example directly by means of infrared techniques, C13 NMR, or indirectly by solvent removal, for example by extraction or head-space chromatography or combinations of said techniques.
  • the fibre according to the invention can be prepared by contacting a highly oriented "dry" polyolefin fibre with a solvent for the polyolefin, with the fibre taking up 0.05 - 5 wt.% of the solvent.
  • the highly oriented "dry" polyolefin fibre may have been prepared in a known way from the polyolefin polymer, for example by gel spinning (Smith and Lemstra), by solid phase processing of virgin reactor powder (Chanzy and Smith), by extrusion from the melt (Ward) or by extrusion from powder recrystallized from solution (Kanamoto) with one or more drawing steps to increase the orientation.
  • the fibre is prepared directly in a gel spinning process.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a highly oriented polyolefin fibre according to the invention comprising: forming a solution of a polyolefin in a solvent, forming a gel fibre by extruding this solution through one or more spinning apertures and subsequently cooling it to obtain a gel fibre, removing the solvent from the gel fibre and drawing the fibre in one or more steps.
  • a process for the preparation of a highly oriented polyolefin fibre comprising: forming a solution of a polyolefin in a solvent, forming a gel fibre by extruding this solution through one or more spinning apertures and subsequently cooling it to obtain a gel fibre, removing the solvent from the gel fibre and drawing the fibre in one or more steps.
  • a process is known from EP-A-0,205,960.
  • this process is adapted in that not all of the solvent is removed from the gel fibre resulting, after one or more drawing steps, in the formation of a solvent containing precursor which is subsequently, at a temperature above the equilibrium melting temperature of the polyolefin, drawn to obtain the highly oriented polyolefin fibre containing 0.05 to 5 wt.% of solvent.
  • An advantage of the process according to the invention is that fewer steps are needed for the preparation of the fibre and that the fibre obtained bythis process has better anti-ballistic properties than a fibre of comparable strength and modulus to which a similar amount of solvent has been added in another manner.
  • a further advantage of the process according to the invention is that less fibre breakage occurs during drawing of the solvent-containing precursor fibre to a highly oriented fibre, at otherwise unchanged conditions. As a result, there are fewer production stops and a higher productivity can be achieved.
  • the precursor fibre may have been formed in a single step by simultaneous drawing and solvent removal or by separate solvent removal and drawing steps.
  • the solvent content in the precursor fibre is chosen so that the end product, the highly oriented polyolefin fibre, contains the desired amount of solvent, between 0.05 and 5 wt.%, after drawing. It is possible that part of the solvent is removed during the last drawing step.
  • a non-volatile solvent is used, with the solvent content during drawing of the precursor fibre in the last drawing step being virtually constant. This has the advantage of better drawing process control, resulting in better drawability.
  • the solvent in the highly oriented polyolefin fibre is the same as the solvent of the solution from which spinning takes place.
  • the solvent content of the precursor fibre can be set by incomplete solvent removal, for example by shortening the evaporation or extraction time or by influencing the evaporation or extraction rate.
  • the solvent substantially consists of a mixture of a first solvent (A) and a second solvent (B), with (A) being removed and (B) remaining in the fibre.
  • the content of (A) in the fibre is not higher than 0.5 wt.%, preferably lower than 0.3 wt.%, more preferably lower than 0.2 wt.%, and most preferably lower than 0.1 wt.%.
  • (B) has a higher boiling point than (A) and (A) is removed by evaporation at a temperature at which no or hardly any evaporation of (B) takes place.
  • the boiling temperature of (B) is chosen so that no or hardly any evaporation of (B) takes place at the drawing temperature, either.
  • (B) is a non-volatile paraffin in the process and (A) a volatile solvent, preferably decalin.
  • a volatile solvent preferably decalin.
  • (B) has a higher melting temperature than (A) and (A) is removed by extraction at a temperature at which no or hardly any extraction of (B) takes place.
  • (B) then is a paraffin wax and (A) paraffin oil.
  • the solvent-containing precursor fibre is drawn to a highly oriented polyolefin fibre at a temperature above approximately the equilibrium melting temperature of the polyolefin.
  • the equilibrium melting temperature of the polyolefin is understood to be the peak temperature of the melting curve of the polyolefin powder, measured using a DSC at a heating-up rate of 10°C a minute. Obviously, the drawing temperature is not chosen so high that effective drawing can no longer take place.
  • the drawing temperature is between 145 and 160°C and the solvent content of the precursor fibre during the last drawing step is everywhere between 0.05 and 5 wt.%. This has the advantage of a good productivity in combination with a very good strength and modulus.
  • the invention produces a highly oriented polyolefin fibre obtainable by the process described above.
  • This fibre has better anti-ballistic properties than a fibre with otherwise comparable properties to which a similar amount of solvent has been added in a different way.
  • the highly oriented polyolefin fibres produces with the invention can be used for the manufacture of ropes and to ropes containing highly oriented polyolefin fibres.
  • the solvent-containing fibres can more easily be processed into ropes.
  • the ropes are more compact, their feel is less woolly, and yet their flexibility is good. It has been found that the rope is also stronger.
  • the highly oriented fibres produces with the invention as described above for the manufacture of anti-ballistic shaped articles.
  • the advantage of the use of these fibres is in particular that the customary process for the preparation of these shaped articles can be used without essential modifications. Such processes are disclosed, for example, in WO97/00766 and WO95/00318.
  • a major added advantage is that, for example in contrast with fibres or fibre layers that are wetted afterwards, the process equipment is not fouled with solvent.
  • the produced fibres can used for anti-ballistic shaped articles that contain highly oriented polyolefin fibres. Compared with shaped articles on the basis of solvent-free fibres, these shaped articles have a higher anti-ballistic protection level at a comparable areal density.
  • the anti-ballistic shaped article according to the invention has a specific energy absorption (SEA) when hit by an AK47 MSC point of at least 115 J/kg/m 2 , preferably more than 120 J/kg/m 2 , even more preferably more than 135 J/kg/m 2 , and most preferably more than 145 J/kg/m 2 .
