Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for spinning poly(trimethylene arylate) fibers, the resultant fibers, and their use.
  • Poly(thmethylene arylate), particularly poly(thmethylene terephthalate) has recently received much attention as a fiber-forming polymer useful in textiles.
  • PTT fibers have excellent physical and chemical properties.
  • Continuous textured polyester yarns, prepared from partially oriented polyester yarns (POY) or spun drawn yarns (SDY), mostly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are in wide-spread commercial use in many textile applications, such as knit and woven fabrics, as well as non-woven fabrics, such as spunbonded PET.
  • the textile term "yarn” refers to a bundle of individual fibers. For example, shirts and blouses are often made from yarns made up of bundles of 30-40 filaments.
  • Polyester yarns including both PET and PTT yarns, are prepared by a so-called melt spinning process, and are said to be “melt spun.”
  • Melt spinning is a process whereby the polymer is melted and extruded through a hole in a so-called spinneret.
  • the spinneret is provided with a plurality of holes, often 30 - 40, each about 0.25 mm in diameter. Multiple filaments are thereby extruded from a single spinneret. Those filaments are combined to form a bundle that is called a yarn.
  • Polyester yarns can be used in any combinations with or without other types of yarns.
  • polyester yarns can make up an entire fabric, or constitute the warp, weft or fill, in a woven fabric; or as one of two or more yarns in a yarn blend, for instance, with cotton, wool, rayon, acetate, other polyesters, spandex and/or combinations thereof.
