  • the content of the polyoxyalkylene-based polyether compound (a) is in the range of preferably 0.2-30 parts by weight and even more preferably 2-6 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aromatic polyester. If the content is less than 0.2 part by weight it may not be possible to achieve a satisfactory antistatic property due to poor hydrophilicity. On the other hand, a content of greater than 30 parts by weight will produce no corresponding improvement in the antistatic property, and instead may impair the mechanical properties of the obtained composition and tend to cause bleed-out of the polyether compound, thus reducing the ability of the extruder to seize chips during melt spinning and resulting in poor spinning stability.

  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a C3-30 alkyl or C6-40 aryl group.

  • the sulfonic acid quaternary metal salt may be one which is used alone or it may be a combination of two or more.

At less than 0.05 part by weight the improvement in antistatic property will be minimal, while at greater than 10 parts by weight the mechanical properties of the fiber may be impaired and the ionic compound will tend to bleed out, thus reducing the ability of the extruder to seize chips during melt spinning and resulting in poor spinning stability.
  • the aromatic polyester composition may also contain, in addition to the antistatic agent described above, other known additives such as pigments, dyes, delustering agents, stain-proofing agents, fluorescent whitening agents, flame retardants, stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, lubricants and the like, in ranges that do not interfere with the object of the invention.

  • the false twisted yarn of the invention has crimping to a percentage crimp in the range of 10-20% and especially 12-18%. A percentage crimp in this range will yield a woven or knitted fabric with an excellent soft feel.
  • a percentage crimp of less than 10% is not preferred because it will increase the space between filaments in a woven or knitted fabric, promoting infiltration of dyes and tending to cause dyeing spots.
  • a percentage crimp of greater than 20% is also not preferred because it will whiten the color tone of the grain on the surface of woven or knitted fabrics and create a more puffed-up feel in woven or knitted fabric textures.
  • the false twisted yarn of the invention has an electrostatic voltage half-life of no greater than 60 seconds and preferably 5-40 seconds.
  • the electrostatic voltage half-life is the value obtained by measurement of the antistatic performance using the electrostatic propensity test method A of JIS-L1094 (half-life measurement), after tube-knitting, dyeing and humidification of the false twisted yarn. The time (seconds) until attenuation of the electrostatic voltage to 1/2 of the initial electrostatic voltage is measured, with a shorter time (seconds) evaluated as superior antistatic performance.
  • An electrostatic voltage half-life of longer than 60 seconds will produce little or no antistatic effect, and the object of the invention will not be achieved.
  • the total size is appropriately in the range of 50-200 dtex (decitex) and preferably 50-150 dtex.
  • the total size is preferably not less than 50 dtex because the textile fabric will tend to be weaker and it may become difficult to obtain a sufficiently compact textile.
  • a total size of greater than 200 dtex is also not preferred because the basis weight of the woven or knitted fabric will tend to be too high for weaving or knitting.
  • the size of the monofilament is preferably 1.0-5.0 dtex, and the number of filaments in the false twisted yarn is preferably 24-96.
  • the antistatic polyester false twisted yarn of the invention as explained above can be stably produced with satisfactory efficiency by the following process, for example.

  • the aromatic polyester composition is discharged as a melt from the spinning nozzle and cooled to solidity to form filaments, and each filament is doubled and coated with the necessary lubricants, and preferably taken up at a spinning speed of 2000-4500 m/min and especially 2500-3500 m/min.
  • the birefringence of the spun unstretched filament (multifilament) during this time must be in the range of 0.02-0.05.
  • the birefringence is preferably not less than 0.02 because the tension during false twisting will be reduced, surging will tend to result, swaying of the yarn may result in unevenness of heat setting and consequent dyeing spots, and the yarn will be weakened due to an increased draw ratio during false twisting.
  • a birefringence of greater than 0.05 is also not preferred because fluff will tend to be generated by the filament and can interfere with the process.
  • the yarn is preferably subjected to interlacing treatment by a turbulent air stream.
  • the air interlacing treatment may be carried out by a separate step from the stretching and false twisting, but preferably it is carried out just before the stretching and false twisting, using an interlace nozzle (4) installed in the stretching and false twisting apparatus as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • This can inhibit fluff generation and beneficially affect handling of the finished yarn.
  • a separate interlace nozzle (not shown) may also be used for air interlacing with the yarn after false twisted heat setting, for complete combined filament interlacing and uniformity in the lengthwise direction of the yarn. This effect can produce a finished yarn that exhibits uniform antistatic performance in the lengthwise direction of the yarn and a high quality feel.
  • the unstretched filament subjected to interlacing treatment immediately before stretching and false twisting is preferably put through a stretching and false twisting machine equipped with a two-stage heater as shown in Fig. 1 , for example, to produce a polyester false twisted yarn with crimping.
  • the polyester unstretched filament (1) described above is pulled out from a package, passed through a yarn guide (2) and subjected to air interlacing treatment using an interlace nozzle (4) situated between a pair of feed rollers (3,3').
  • the interlaced unstretched filament is twisted by a rotating three-axis friction disc type false twisting tool (7) while being stretched to the desired factor between the feed roller (3') and the first delivery roller (8).
  • the false twisting tool (7) used is one wherein the material of the lowermost disc positioned at the untwisting section is ceramic, the contact length between that disc and the running yarn is 2.5-0.5 mm, and the diameter of the disc is 90-98% of the diameter of the disc immediately above it.
  • the yarn is heat set in a twisted state by a first stage heater (5) and then cooled by a downstream end cooling plate (6) and passed through the false twisting tool (7) for untwisting. If necessary, the running yarn is again heat set by a second stage heater (9) situated between the first delivery roller (8) and second delivery roller (10), and again treated by air interlacing, after which it is wound up as a cheese package (12) using a wind-up roller (11) to produce the desired antistatic polyester false twisted yarn.
  • the first stage heater (5) and second stage heater (9) are preferably non-contact types.
  • SW-OFF is usually not used in the second stage heater (9), it may be used if necessary for a given feel required for the finished yarn.
  • a false twisting tool (7) which is a three-axis friction disc type as shown in Fig. 2 , wherein the lowermost disc positioned at the untwisting section is ceramic and the diameter of the disc is 90-98% of the diameter of the disc immediately above it, and wherein the contact length between that disc and the running yarn is 2.5-0.5 mm.
  • each rotation axis (15) rotates at a prescribed speed by a timing belt (16) driven by a driving belt (17), for rotation of each of the false twisting discs (13).
  • a timing belt (16) driven by a driving belt (17) for rotation of each of the false twisting discs (13).
  • the aforementioned false twisting discs (13) used in the process of the invention at least the lowermost disc positioned at the untwisting section (the lower disc mounted on the rotation axis at the left of Fig. 2 ) is made of a ceramic material, and the diameter of that disc is 90-98% of the diameter of the disc immediately above it (the lower disc mounted on the rotation axis at the center of Fig. 2 ).
  • the contact length between the ceramic disc and the running yarn is 2.5-0.5 mm.
  • the material of the lowermost disc in the false twisting tool (7) is preferably ceramic from the viewpoint of disc attrition.
  • the contact length between that disc and the running yarn is 2.5-0.5 mm because the present inventors have found that when twisting has been completed and the crimped yarn enters the final untwisting section, a minimal contact area between the disc and the yarn and reduced resistance are effective for achieving significant reduction in fluff.
  • specifying the diameter of the lowermost disc to be 90-98% of the diameter of the disc immediately above it reduces resistance when the yarn is moved to the following step (heat setting) and creates an optimum zone for smooth movement of the yarn.
  • the filament used for the unstretched filament in the process of the invention includes the two different antistatic agents mentioned above, the natural tendency to readily produce fluff by stretching and false twisting can be notably reduced by employing the aforementioned conditions in the process of the invention to reduce such processing fluff.
  • generation of processing fluff adversely affects the weaving properties, reeling properties and woven fabric product quality when the conditions are outside of the ranges mentioned above.
  • the present inventors have determined that specifying a contact length of 2.5-0.5 mm between the running yarn and lowermost disc is particularly effective for reducing processing fluff in the stretching and false twisting of the process of the invention.
  • the false twisting temperature according to the invention must be 170-300°C.
  • a temperature of below 170°C will lower the crimp performance and produce a harder hand quality, while a temperature of above 300°C will yield a finished yarn that is too flat and will increase processing fluff.
  • the heat treatment is preferably carried out with the temperature of the first-stage non-contact heater set to 170-300°C.
  • the optimum heater temperature in this case is for a commercially available false twisting machine (216 spinning position HTS-15V by Teijin, Ltd.), assuming a non-contact length of 1.0-1.5 m and a yarn speed of from about 800 m/min, and appropriate adjustments in the temperature must of course be implemented when using a special heater or conducting the process at ultrafast speeds.
  • the heat treatment time for the yarn at the first stage heater may be appropriately set according to the type of heater, its length and its temperature, but an excessively short heat treatment time will tend to result in an insufficient percentage crimp for the finished yarn, and may lead to breakage of the stretched and false twisted yarn due to variable tension, as well as finished yarn fluff and dyeing spots in woven or knitted fabrics. On the other hand, an excessively long heat treatment time will tend to increase the percentage crimp.
  • the appropriate range is preferably in the range of 0.04-0.12 second and especially 0.06-0.10 second.
  • the draw ratio for stretching and false twisting is optimally 1.4-2.4, as surging and uneven heat setting due to swaying of yarn occur in zones with a draw ratio lower than this range, and the finished yarn becomes flatter and processing fluff is generated in zones with a draw ratio higher than this range.
  • the number of false twists T (/m) in the simultaneous stretching and false twisting is in the range of (15,000-35,000)/Y 1/2 and preferably (20,000-30,000)/Y 1/2 , according to the size Y (dtex) of the false twisted yarn. If the number of false twists is less than 15,000/Y 1/2 (/m) it will become difficult to produce fine, rigid crimps and the resulting fabric will tend to have a hard paper-like feel, while a number of false twists in excess of 35,000/Y 1/2 (/m) will tend to increase the yarn breakage and fluff generation.
  • the air interlacing treatment may be carried out separately from the stretching and false twisting, but preferably the air interlacing treatment is carried out just prior to stretching and false twisting using an interlace nozzle installed in the stretching and false twisting apparatus, as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the degree of interlacing is 30-80/m and more preferably 50-70/m as the degree of interlacing measured for the polyester false twisted yarn.
  • a degree of interlacing of less than 30/m is not preferred because it will result in poor mixing between the filaments of the polyester unstretched filament yarn, and yarn breakage and monofilament breakage during twisting/untwisting will increase due to problems with reeling out (pulling out from the yarn package) during the stretching and false twisting process. If the degree of interlacing is greater than 80/m, entanglement will be excessively increased between the filaments of the polyester false twisted yarn, resulting in blocking of the yarn.
  • Twisting and untwisting in the process of the invention are preferably carried out using a false twisting disc with a diameter of 40-70 mm and more preferably 45-62 mm.
  • the false twisting disc used is a false twisting unit assembly having two discs situated on each of three axes, as shown in Fig. 2 , for example. If the diameter of the false twisting disc is less than 40 mm, friction damage caused by the false twisting disc on the polyester composition yarn will increase drastically, and more yarn breakage and fluff will occur. If the diameter of the false twisting disc is greater than 70 mm, the false twisting disc will have lower twisting force, thus resulting in more frequent failure to achieve fine, rigid crimping. The twisting tension will also increase and lead to more generation of fluff. In addition, it will become much more difficult to carry out the operation of guiding of the running yarn onto the false twisting disc (threading).
  • the transit angle of the yarn passing through the false twisting disc is preferably 30-48 degrees and especially 32-45 degrees. This will increase the feeding action and permit more stable twisting and untwisting, without reduction in twisting force by the disc.
  • the contact length between the lowermost disc and the running yarn is 2.5-0.5 mm, as this is effective for notably reducing processing fluff.
  • Fibers composed of the polyester composition lack fibrillation resistance, and it is generally assumed that fibers with low fibrillation resistance unavoidably produce fluff during processing; however, the process of the invention employs a technique whereby the yarn that is produced has a fiber structure with fibrillation resistance, and it therefore permits rapid and stable false twisting and production of high quality false twisted yarn without section deformation or fluff generation during false twisting.
  • the antistatic false twisted yarn of the invention obtained in the manner described above can be used for weaving or knitting without twisting and without sizing, in order to obtain satisfactory fabrics.

This will inhibit nepping caused by the difference in ductility, and produce a beneficial effect on handling.
  • Durable antistatic performance and a high quality feel can also be obtained by air interlacing of yarn that has been heat set with false twisting using a separate interlace nozzle (not shown), for complete uniformity of combined filament interlacing, to achieve an effect of uniformly enveloping the core with the sheath in the lengthwise direction of the yarn.
  • the degree of air interlacing by the interlace nozzle is too low, the low ductility yarn group A and high ductility yarn group B will tend to separate during the stretching/false twisting step, resulting in a non-uniform woven or knitted fabric surface, and usually resulting in a difference in ductility between the unstretched filaments A' and B' that exceeds 30%; the degree of interlacing measured for the obtained conjugated false twisted yarn is therefore preferably at least 30/m and especially at least 40/m.
  • the degree of interlacing by the interlace nozzle is too high the monofilaments will become too strongly entangled, resulting in a rough and hard hand quality for woven or knitted fabrics, and therefore it is preferably no greater than 80/m.
