Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von feinen Monofilamenten mit verbesserter Abriebbeständigkeit aus Polypropylen mit einem Schmelzflussindex (MFI) 23o°c/2.i6kg von 2-16g/10 min, ein Monofilament aus Polypropylen mit einem Schmelzflussindex (MFI) 23D°c/2.ιβ g von 2-16g/10 min mit verbesserter Abriebbeständigkeit und einem Titer von 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm), sowie dessen Verwendung.The invention relates to a method for producing fine monofilaments having improved abrasion resistance of polypropylene with a melt flow index (MFI) 2 3o ° c / 2 .i6 k g of 2-16g / 10 min, a monofilament made of polypropylene with a melt flow index (MFI) 2 3D ° c / 2 .ιβ g of 2-16g / 10 min with improved abrasion resistance and a titer of 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm), as well as its use.
Textile Flächengebilde aus Polypropylen gewinnen in der Automobilindustrie zunehmendes Interesse vor allem wegen ihres gegenüber anderen thermoplastischen Kunststoffen relativ leichterem Gewicht und verbesserter Beständigkeit gegenüber Klimaeinflüssen und mechanischer Beanspruchung. Hierbei sind besonders feine Monofilamente gefragt, welche eine weitere Gewichtsreduktion ermöglichen. Unter feinen Monofilamenten sind solche kleiner als 30 dtex, insbesondere kleiner als 25 dtex zu verstehen.Textile fabrics made of polypropylene are gaining increasing interest in the automotive industry, above all because of their relatively lighter weight than other thermoplastic materials and improved resistance to climatic influences and mechanical stress. This calls for particularly fine monofilaments, which enable further weight reduction. Fine monofilaments are to be understood as being less than 30 dtex, in particular less than 25 dtex.
Monofilamente aus reinem Polypropylen weisen jedoch den Nachteil einer starken Staubbildung als Folge seiner geringen Abrasionsbeständigkeit beim Webprozess auf. Das Problem der Abrasion ist auch bei anderen Thermoplasten bekannt. So nennt die EP-A2-0 784 107 schmelzgesponnene Monofile aus Polyamid, Polyester und Polypropylen. Danach werden scheuerbeständige Monofilamente mit 70-99 Gew.-% fadenbildendem Polymer und 1-30 Gew.-% eines mit Maleinsäureanhydrid modifizierten Polyethylen/Polypropylen-Kautschuks und weiteren Zusätzen erhalten. Allerdings sind die Beispiele auf Polyamid 6 und Polyethylenterephthalat sowie ein Copolyamid aus PA66 und PA6 als fadenbildendes Polymer beschränkt. Spinngeschwindigkeiten sind nicht angegeben. Die relativ dicken Monofilamente sind nach den Beispielen vor allem für Papiermaschinensiebe und Rasenmäherdrähte geeignet. Zur Herstellung von relativ feinen Polypropylenmonofilmenten sind keine Angaben gemacht.However, monofilaments made of pure polypropylene have the disadvantage of strong dust formation as a result of their low abrasion resistance in the weaving process. The problem of abrasion is also known for other thermoplastics. This is what EP-A2-0 784 107 calls melt-spun monofilaments made of polyamide, polyester and polypropylene. This gives scrubbable monofilaments with 70-99% by weight of thread-forming polymer and 1-30% by weight of a polyethylene / polypropylene rubber modified with maleic anhydride and other additives. However, the examples are limited to polyamide 6 and polyethylene terephthalate and a copolyamide made of PA66 and PA6 as the thread-forming polymer. Spinning speeds are not specified. According to the examples, the relatively thick monofilaments are primarily for paper machine screens and lawnmower wires suitable. No information is given on the production of relatively fine polypropylene monofilaments.
Aus der EP-A-1059370 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Polypropylen Multifilamenten für textile Zwecke bekannt. Als Ausgangsmaterial dient ein metallocen- katalysiertes isotaktisches Polypropylen mit einem Schmelzflussindex, der weniger als 25 g pro 10 Minuten betragen soll, um die gewünschten Schrumpfeigenschaften zu erreichen. Zur Herstellung von Filamenten, welche sich auszeichnen durch einen tiefen Schrumpf, sind vorzugsweise Polypropylen-Granulate mit einem hohen MFI-Wert zu verwenden. Über die hergestellten Garne werden nur allgemeine Angaben gemacht. Monofilamente werden nicht beschrieben.EP-A-1059370 discloses a process for the production of polypropylene multifilaments for textile purposes. A metallocene-catalyzed isotactic polypropylene with a melt flow index, which should be less than 25 g per 10 minutes, is used as the starting material in order to achieve the desired shrinkage properties. For the production of filaments, which are characterized by a deep shrinkage, polypropylene granules with a high MFI value should preferably be used. Only general information is given about the yarns produced. Monofilaments are not described.
Auch die EP-A-0028844 beschreibt ein textiles multifiles Polypropylenfilamentgam. Ausgangspolymer ist ein Polypropylen mit einem Schmelzflussindex zwischen etwa 20 und 60. Unter den angegebenen Spinn- und Streckbedingungen sowie bei der Weiterverarbeitung wurde das Problem des Abriebs, welches bei der Verarbeitung feiner Monofilamente auftritt, offenbar nicht festgestellt.EP-A-0028844 also describes a textile multifilament polypropylene filament yarn. The starting polymer is a polypropylene with a melt flow index between about 20 and 60. Under the stated spinning and drawing conditions and during further processing, the problem of abrasion which occurs when processing fine monofilaments has apparently not been determined.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein wirtschaftliches Verfahren zur Herstellung von feinen, abriebbeständigen Monofilamenten aus Polypropylen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Herstellung von feinen Monofilamenten aus Polypropylen mit verbesserter Beständigkeit gegen den Abrieb beim Weben.The object of the invention is to provide an economical process for the production of fine, abrasion-resistant monofilaments made of polypropylene. Another object of the invention is to produce fine polypropylene monofilaments with improved resistance to abrasion during weaving.
Eine noch weitere Aufgabe ist es, die Verwendung eines feinen Monofilaments mit guter Abriebbeständigkeit zu Herstellung von technischen Flächengebilden zur Verfügung zu stellen.A still further object is to provide the use of a fine monofilament with good abrasion resistance for the manufacture of technical fabrics.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass dem Extruder ein Compound, bestehend aus 80 bis 99.9 Gew.-% Granulat und 20 bis 0.1 Gew.-% eines Additivs zugegeben wird, die Schmelze mit einer Geschwindigkeit von wenigstens 1200 m/min versponnen, im Luftbad bei Zimmertemperatur abgekühlt, bei einer Temperatur von 110 bis 150°C zu einem Titer von 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm) nachverstreckt und aufgespult wird. Hierbei ist es wesentlich, dass das Additiv im Polypropylen gut dispergiert ist und im resultierenden Monofilament kein Unterschied feststellbar ist. Es ist erstmals gelungen, feine Polypropylenmonofilmente mit einer Spinngeschwindigkeit von 1200 m/min herzustellen. Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, als Additive modifizierte Polyolefine und aliphatische Diester zu verwenden.The object is achieved according to the invention in that a compound consisting of 80 to 99.9% by weight of granules and 20 to 0.1% by weight of an additive is added to the extruder, and the melt is spun at a speed of at least 1200 m / min Air bath cooled at room temperature, stretched to a titer of 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm) at a temperature of 110 to 150 ° C and wound up.

Als besonders vorteilhaft als Additive sind modifizierte Polyolefine in einer Menge von 4.5 bis 15 Gew.-%, insbesondere 6 bis 13 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 8 bis 12 Gew.-% Polypropylen/Polyethylen mit einem Schmelzpunkt > 140°C zu verwenden. Ein Schmelzpunkt von weniger als 140°C hat den Nachteil des aufwendigen Dosierens. Bei Temperaturen unter 140°C treten Verklebungen der Granulate im Extruder auf. Eine Verwendung von weniger als 4.5 Gew.-% und mehr als 15 Gew.-% an Polypropylen/Polyethylen wird eine unbefriedigende Abriebbeständigkeit des Monofilaments erzielt. Bei dieser Variante sind überraschend keine weiteren Zusätze erforderlich, um eine hervorragenden Abrasionsbeständigkeit zu erzielen.Modified polyolefins in an amount of 4.5 to 15% by weight, in particular 6 to 13% by weight, preferably 8 to 12% by weight, of polypropylene / polyethylene with a melting point> 140 ° C. are particularly advantageous as additives. A melting point of less than 140 ° C has the disadvantage of complex metering. At temperatures below 140 ° C, the granules stick in the extruder. Use of less than 4.5% by weight and more than 15% by weight of polypropylene / polyethylene results in unsatisfactory abrasion resistance of the monofilament. Surprisingly, no further additives are required in this variant in order to achieve excellent abrasion resistance.
In einerweiteren Variante ist es zweckmässig als Additiv 3-10 Gew.-%, insbesondere 3 bis 7 Gew.-%, bevorzugt 3 bis 6 Gew.-%, eines Schlagzähmodifikators zu verwenden. Geeignet sind als Schlagzähmodifikatoren, welche bis 100°C keine Erweichung zeigen und aus linearen Styrol-Ethylen/Butylen-Styrol-Block-Copolymeren oder Legierungen aus linearen Styrol-Ethylen/Butylen-Styrol-Block-Copolymer // Styrol-Ethylen/Butylen- Biblock aufgebaut sind.In a further variant, it is expedient to use 3-10% by weight, in particular 3 to 7% by weight, preferably 3 to 6% by weight, of an impact modifier as an additive. Suitable as impact modifiers which do not show any softening up to 100 ° C. and are made from linear styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymers or alloys from linear styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer // styrene-ethylene / butylene Biblock are built.
In einer weiteren Variante ist es zweckmässig als Additiv 0.1-0.2 Gew.-% eines Weichmachers zu verwenden. Als Weichmacher ist Di-iso-nonyladipat am besten geeignet.In a further variant, it is advantageous to use 0.1-0.2% by weight of a plasticizer as an additive. Di-iso-nonyl adipate is the most suitable plasticizer.
In einer weiteren Variante ist es zweckmässig als Additiv 0.05-1.0 Gew.-%, insbesondere 0.3 bis 1.0 Gew.-% eines Gleitmittels zu verwenden. Als Gleitmittel sind besonders Metallsalze von Karbonsäuren, lineare oder verzweigte Kohlenwasserstoffe, Fluoroelastomere, Polydimethylsiloxane geeignet.In a further variant, it is expedient to use 0.05-1.0% by weight, in particular 0.3 to 1.0% by weight, of an lubricant as an additive. Metal salts of carboxylic acids, linear or branched hydrocarbons, fluoroelastomers, polydimethylsiloxanes are particularly suitable as lubricants.
In einer weiteren Variante ist es zweckmässig als Additiv Füllstoffe zu verwenden. Als Füllstoffe haben sich 0.01-0.1 Gew.-% Aerosile und 0.1-1.0 Gew.-% Kalziumkarbonat als besonders geeignet erwiesen.In a further variant, it is expedient to use fillers as an additive. 0.01-0.1% by weight of aerosils and 0.1-1.0% by weight of calcium carbonate have proven to be particularly suitable as fillers.
In einer weiteren Variante besteht das Additiv aus einem Compound aus einer Kombination von 2-10 Gew.-% eines Schlagzähmodifikators, 0.1-0.2 Gew.-% an Weichmacher, an Füllstoffen 0.01-0.1 Gew.-% Aerosil oder 0.1-1.0 Gew.-% Kalziumkarbonat, 0.05-1.0 Gew.-% an Gleitmitteln und 0.1-0.5 Gew.-% an Hitzestabilisatoren. Als Hitzestabilisatoren kommen sterisch gehinderte Phenole, Phosphite und Phosphonite in Frage.In a further variant, the additive consists of a compound consisting of a combination of 2-10% by weight of an impact modifier, 0.1-0.2% by weight Plasticizer, on fillers 0.01-0.1% by weight of Aerosil or 0.1-1.0% by weight of calcium carbonate, 0.05-1.0% by weight of lubricants and 0.1-0.5% by weight of heat stabilizers.

Für die erfindungsgemässen Monofilamente ist als Hauptpolymer ein Polypropylen mit einem Schmelzflussindex (MFI) 23o°c/2.i6kg von 2-16g/10 min. und einem Titer von 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm) vorgesehen. Ein Schmelzflussindex von weniger als 2g/10 min hat den Nachteil, dass zu hohe Temperaturen beim Schmelzspinnen erforderlich werden, was zur Zerstörung des Polymers führt. Ein Schmelzflussindex von mehr als 16g/10 min hat den Nachteil, dass die resultierende Abriebbeständigkeit unzureichend wird. Eine Abriebbeständigkeit mit einer Note ≤ 2 ergibt ein Monofilament, welches sich problemlos in ein textiles Flächengebilde verweben lässt und eine überraschende Sauberkeit ergibt.For the inventive monofilaments a polypropylene having a melt flow index (MFI) 2 3o ° c / 2 .i 6kg of 2-16g / 10 min as the main polymer. and a titer of 5-20 dtex (0.027 mm-0.053 mm). A melt flow index of less than 2 g / 10 min has the disadvantage that too high temperatures are required during melt spinning, which leads to the destruction of the polymer. A melt flow index of more than 16 g / 10 min has the disadvantage that the resulting abrasion resistance becomes insufficient. Abrasion resistance with a grade of ≤ 2 results in a monofilament, which can be easily woven into a textile fabric and results in a surprising cleanliness.
Das erfindungsgemässe Monofilament weist eine Festigkeit von wenigsten 47 cN/tex bei einer Höchstbruchdehnung von weniger als 45 % auf.The monofilament according to the invention has a strength of at least 47 cN / tex with a maximum elongation at break of less than 45%.
Das erfindungsgemässe Monofilament weist eine mechanischen Konstante (Constante Mechanique) von wenigstens 285 cN/tex auf.The monofilament according to the invention has a mechanical constant (constante mechanique) of at least 285 cN / tex.
Die Erfindung soll durch Beispiele näher beschrieben werden.The invention will be described in more detail by examples.

Fig. 1 das Abriebverhalten in Abhängigkeit von der Zugabe eines Additivs gemäss Beispiel 2.1 shows the abrasion behavior depending on the addition of an additive according to Example 2.
Fig. 2 das Abriebverhalten in Abhängigkeit von der Zugabe eines Additivs gemäss Beispiel 3.2 shows the abrasion behavior depending on the addition of an additive according to Example 3.

In Fig. 1 ist der Kurvenverlauf bei Zugabe eines modifizierten Polypropylen/Polyethylen mit einem Schmelzpunkt > 140°C gemäss. Beispiel 2 gezeigt. Ohne Zugabe eines Additivs zeigt das reine Polypropylen im Abriebtest eine Note 4, was einen unbefriedigenden Abrieb im Gewebe darstellt. Es ist überraschend, dass bei einer steigenden Zugabe der Abrieb bis zu einer Zugabe von 10 Gew.-% zunächst verbessert werden kann und sich bei höheren Zugaben wieder verschlechtert.In Fig. 1, the course of the curve when adding a modified polypropylene / polyethylene with a melting point> 140 ° C according to. Example 2 shown. Without the addition of an additive, the pure polypropylene shows a rating of 4 in the abrasion test, which represents unsatisfactory abrasion in the fabric. It is surprising that with an increasing addition, the abrasion up to an addition of 10% by weight can initially be improved and deteriorates again with higher additions.
In Fig. 2 ist der Kurvenverlauf bei Zugabe eines Schlagzähmodifikators gezeigt. Mit steigender Menge an Additiv nimmt der Abrieb zunächst ab und erreicht bei 5 Gew.-% ein Minimum. Eine weitere Erhöhung bringt keinen Vorteil mehr.2 shows the course of the curve when an impact modifier is added. With an increasing amount of additive, the abrasion initially decreases and reaches a minimum at 5% by weight. A further increase is no longer an advantage.
In Fig. 3 ist der Kurvenverlauf bei Zugabe unterschiedlicher Gleitmittel gezeigt. Hier bringen geringe Zugabemengen zunächst eine ausgeprägte Verbesserung des Abriebverhalten. Eine Erhöhung bringt keine weitere Verbesserung des Abriebverhaltens.3 shows the course of the curve when different lubricants are added. Here, small amounts of add initially bring about a marked improvement in abrasion behavior. An increase does not bring any further improvement in the abrasion behavior.

Beim Abriebtest handelt es sich um eine einfache Simulation des Webvorgangs auf einer Testvorrichtung ohne Schusseintrag. Dabei werden die Monofilamente mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit durch die wichtigsten Elemente einer Webmaschine wie Webblatt und Litzen geführt, welche auch die entsprechenden Bewegungen ausführen. Die Fadengeschwindigkeit beträgt 9 m/h, das Webblatt führt 525 Doppelhübe pro Minute aus.The abrasion test is a simple simulation of the weaving process on a test device without weft insertion. The monofilaments are guided at a constant speed through the most important elements of a weaving machine, such as reed and healds, which also carry out the corresponding movements. The thread speed is 9 m / h, the reed performs 525 double strokes per minute.
Die Beurteilung des Abriebsverhaltens mit dem ABTER-Prüfgerät wird wie folgt vorgenommen.The abrasion behavior is assessed with the ABTER test device as follows.
• das Abriebverhalten wird an allen Monofilen während einer Laufzeit von 16 Stunden geprüft• The abrasion behavior is checked on all monofilaments over a period of 16 hours
• die Webblätter werden dem Testgerät entnommen und fotografiert• The reeds are taken from the test device and photographed
