Description

    Background of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a method of processing synthetic fibers; to synthetic fibers; to a method of spinning synthetic fibers; and to spun yarn. In recent years, the transition towards higher-speed spinning such as high-speed ring spinning, high-speed rotor-type open-end spinning, and whirling air spinning has been taking place in the spinning of synthetic fibers so that the production cost is reduced and productivity is improved. However, the increased spinning speed increases the amount of fiber passing through the spinning machine per unit time, increasing scum accumulation on components of the spinning machine and shortening the cleaning interval, thereby possibly causing the operational performance to deteriorate. The present invention relates to a method of processing synthetic fibers in which scum accumulation on components of the spinning machine through which the synthetic fibers make contact and pass in high-speed spinning of the synthetic fibers can be suppressed, thereby giving excellent high-speed spinning capability to the synthetic fibers; to synthetic fibers obtained with said method of processing; to a method of spinning said synthetic fibers; and to spun yarn obtained with said method of spinning.
  • Generally various processing agents containing alkyl phosphate potassium salts have been used for the spinning of synthetic fibers. The following processing agents are known : 1) two-component families with an alkyl phosphate potassium salt and a phosphate of an alkylaminoether-type nonionic surfactant (refer to Japanese Patent Publication Tokkaisho 60-224867 for example), 2) three-component families with an alkyl phosphate potassium salt, a phosphate of alkylaminoether-type nonionic surfactant, and a high molecular weight polyoxyethylene compound (refer to Japanese Patent Publication Tokkaisho 57-158297 for example), 3) two-component families with an alkyl phosphate potassium salt and a high molecular weight polyoxyethylene compound (refer to Japanese Patent Publication Tokkaihei 3-174067 for example), and 4) three-component families with an alkyl phosphate potassium salt, a paraffin wax emulsifier, and a cationic surfactant (refer to Japanese Patent Publication Tokkaihei 6-108361 for example). However, these conventional processing agents cause problems with scum accumulation at the antinode ring with high-speed ring spinning, inside the rotor with high-speed rotor-type open-end spinning, and around the spindle with whirling air spinning. Among these, the extremely high spinning speed of whirling air spinning when compared with that of high-speed ring spinning and high-speed rotor-type open-end spinning makes scum accumulation more severe. Scum accumulation not only shortens the cleaning interval and decreases the operational performance but also can cause severe damage to the fiber, possibly causing a reduction in yarn strength and increased white powder formation and accelerated yarn breakage.
    • Summary of the Invention
  • The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide: a method of processing synthetic fibers in which scum accumulation in high-speed spinning of the synthetic fibers can be fully suppressed and high-speed spinning capability can be given to the synthetic fibers; synthetic fibers obtained with said method of processing; a method of spinning said synthetic fibers; and spun yarn obtained with said method of spinning.
  • The inventors have found as a result of studies to solve said problem that the addition of a processing agent containing an organophosphate metal salt in a specific process in the upstream, and the addition of a processing agent containing a lubricant in a specific process in the midstream, are beneficial and favorable for the high-speed spinning of synthetic fibers.
  • That is, the present invention relates to a method of processing synthetic fibers in which a processing agent containing an organophosphate metal salt is added to the synthetic fibers in a process between spinning and crimping, and a processing agent containing a lubricant is added in a process after crimping up to carding. In addition, this invention relates to synthetic fibers obtained with this method of processing; to a method of spinning said synthetic fibers; and to spun yarn obtained with said method of spinning.
    • Detailed Description of the Invention
  • First of all, the method of processing synthetic fibers related to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "processing method of the present invention") is described. The processing method of the present invention involves the addition of a processing agent containing an organophosphate metal salt to the synthetic fibers in a process between spinning and crimping, and the addition of a processing agent containing a lubricant in a process after crimping up to carding, in the high-speed spinning of the synthetic fibers.
  • High-speed spinning of synthetic fibers is generally divided into two groups of processes: an earlier group of processes related to the production of synthetic fibers, and another later group of processes related to the production of spun yarn. The earlier group of processes related to the production of synthetic fibers includes processes such as spinning, drawing, heat treatment, finishing, crimping, drying, cutting and packaging, and the later group of processes related to the production of spun yarn includes opening, carding, draw frame, and high-speed spinning (high-speed ring spinning, high-speed rotor-type open-end spinning, whirling air spinning, etc.) and, in the case of high-speed ring spinning as the method of high-speed spinning, the roving process immediately before high-speed spinning is included together with the winding process immediately after. The processing method of the present invention involves adding a processing agent, which contains an organophosphate metal salt, to the synthetic fibers in a process between said spinning and said crimping, and it involves adding a processing agent, which contains a lubricant, in a process after said crimping up to carding, in high-speed spinning of the synthetic fibers consisting of said two groups of processes.

  • As shown in the results of Table 7, this invention makes it possible to obtain synthetic fibers having normal crimping characteristics and suppress scum generation in high-speed spinning methods such as high-speed ring spinning, high-speed rotor-type open-end spinning and whirling air spinning, meeting the recent requirements toward higher spinning speeds.

Claims (16)
