Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a polyamide multifilament.
  • a multifilament of polyamide 6 also known as “polycaprolactam” or polyamide 66 (also known as “polyhexamethylene adipamide”) has higher tenacity and elongation and better fluffy quality than a general-purpose multifilament of polyester, polypropylene, or the like, and thus, is used in various industrial applications such as air bags, catgut for sports rackets, ropes, fishing nets, and belts for bags.
  • Air bags which have been rapidly increasing in the ratio of installation as essential safety devices for protecting passengers in a collision between vehicles, are continuing to increase in terms of the points of installation, for example, an air bag for protection of the knee, an air bag built in a sheet for a seat to protect the chest, and an air bag built in the ceiling above the window to protect the head, in addition to air bags that have been installed for protection of a driver and a front passenger since the initial days.
  • An increase in the number of the points of installation, a demand for lower fuel consumption to be improved year after year, and a recent years' tendency to expand the space in a vehicle are accompanied by various studies to develop a lighter and more compact base cloth to be used for an air bag.
  • the total fineness of a polyamide 66 yarn to be used for an air bag base cloth was generally 940 dtex in the past, but in recent years, a 470 dtex yarn has been used mainly, and furthermore, a yarn having a fineness as low as 235 dtex or less is also used.
  • Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 disclose a technology that affords a polyamide fiber that has a low fineness and a high tenacity with high fluffy quality and can provide an air bag having excellent compactness.
  • the total fineness proposed is 100 to 250 dtex in Patent Literature 1 and 50 to 470 dtex in Patent Literature 2.
  • the section does not describe any specific example of a yarn the total fineness of which is made as low as 150 dtex or less, furthermore 100 dtex or less, and which has a high tenacity and thus can be used as an industrial fiber.
  • the reason for this is, as described in Patent Literature 1 (paragraph [0021]), that a lower total fineness makes it more difficult to stably obtain a fiber having a high tenacity.
  • obtaining a multifilament having a low total fineness involves increasing the influence of the retention of the molten state of polyamide chips melted before being spun and the influence of defects such as voids remaining in the fiber being spun. That is, no consideration is taken of a problem that will be caused when a multifilament having a fineness of 100 dtex or less is produced using an apparatus such as a direct drawing machine that is included in common facilities for producing fibers for industrial materials having a high tenacity, such as a yarn for air bags, and that is a combination of a spinning unit for a high total fineness of approximately 235 to 2000 dtex and a multistage heat-drawing machine for developing a high tenacity.
  • Patent Literature 5 discloses a means by which yarn is drawn and heat-fixed, or heat-drawn, once wound on a package, further brought in contact with a hot plate heated to 170 to 205°C, and thereby heat-drawn 1.15-fold or more.
  • this means involves a method including two separated processes, i.e. a spinning process and a drawing process.
  • a spinning process i.e. a spinning process
  • a drawing process i.e. a spinning process and a drawing process.
  • Patent Literature 6 a product obtained by a step that could be commercialized was only a polyamide multifilament having a tenacity up to 7.3 cN/dtex at best, and the tenacity was insufficient for an attempt to enhance the durability of fibers for industrial materials such as air bags and that of textiles for clothing.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to provide a polyamide multifilament having a low fineness, a high tenacity, excellent toughness, and in addition, good fluffy quality, and to provide a polyamide multifilament that makes it possible to attempt to decrease the weight of an industrial material such as an air bag, and to enhance the durability of a textile for clothing, as above-mentioned.
  • the present invention makes it possible to obtain a polyamide multifilament which is good also in terms of production efficiency.
  • the present invention has been made through a vigorous study to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is mainly composed of the following constituents.
  • the present invention can provide a polyamide multifilament having a low fineness and nonetheless having a high tenacity, excellent toughness, and in addition, good fluffy quality, and makes it possible to attempt to decrease a weight of an industrial material, and to enhance durability of a textile for clothing.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram for describing an example of a step of producing a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention.
  • Examples of a raw material to be used for a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention include: nylon 6; nylon 66; nylon 12; nylon 46; nylon 56; nylon 610; copolymer polyamides of nylon 6 and nylon 66; copolymer polyamides obtained by copolymerizing nylon 6 with a polyalkylene glycol, dicarboxylic acid, diamine or other copolymerizable monomers. These are known as polymers containing repeating units linked via an amide bond. Such a material is subject to no particular limitation as long as the material is a polyamide. Among these materials, polyamide 66 having excellent impact resistance and heat resistance is preferably used.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention may contain a component other than a polyamide.
  • a component include: end-capping agents such as monocarboxylic acids; delustering agents such as titanium oxide; polymerization catalysts and heat resistance promoters, such as phosphorus compounds; and antioxidants and heat stabilizers, such as copper compounds and halides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.
  • the content ratio of the polyamide in the polyamide multifilament is preferably 95 wt% or more, more preferably 97 wt% or more. In cases where the content ratio of the polyamide is less than 95 wt%, the heat resistance is decreased in some cases.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention has a total fineness of 30 to 150 dtex.
  • the total fineness is more preferably in the range of from 50 to 120 dtex. With the total fineness of less than 30 dtex, it is difficult to achieve a sufficient value as the total strength of the multifilament, and, in addition, drawing at a high ratio to obtain a high tenacity tends to cause single yarn breakage, and also has a higher possibility of generating fluffs.
  • the total fineness of more than 150 dtex does not lead to decreasing the weight of an industrial material or to enhancing the durability of a textile for clothing.
  • the tenacity of a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention is 7.5 to 10.0 cN/dtex, more preferably 8.0 to 9.7 cN/dtex. Having a tenacity in such a range allows the polyamide fiber to be suitable for industrial materials such as air bags and for textiles for clothing that have excellent durability.
  • the tenacity of less than 7.5 cN/dtex is insufficient to enhance the durability of fibers for industrial materials such as air bags and that of textiles for clothing.
  • Bringing the tenacity of the polyamide fiber to more than 10.0 cN/dtex involves mechanical drawing at a high ratio, tends to generate single yarn breakage, and in addition, degrades fluffy quality.
  • Such a polyamide multifilament is unsuitable for quality-demanding fibers for industrial materials such as air bags.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention has an elongation at break of 15.0% to 35.0%, more preferably 17.0% to 30.0%. The higher the elongation at break, the more preferable. The elongation at break is realistically 35.0% or less to obtain a predetermined tenacity with a polyamide. This range makes it possible to increase the toughness of the polyamide multifilament and the amount of work to break, and to maintain excellent durability.
  • the product of a tenacity and a square root of elongation is preferably 38 cN/dtex. (% 1/2 ) or more, more preferably 40 cN/dtex ⁇ (% 1/2 ) or more. Having a high product of a tenacity and a square root of elongation makes it possible to inhibit generation of fluffs, yarn breakage, and the like, and thus, to obtain a polyamide multifilament having a high tenacity and nonetheless having extremely high quality.
  • the tenacity (cN/dtex) and the elongation at break (%) each refer to a value measured under the conditions of constant rate of elongation that are described in JIS L1013 (1999), 8.5.1 Standard-condition Test.
  • the product of a tenacity and a square root of elongation is a value calculated in accordance with [tenacity ⁇ ⁇ (elongation at break)].
  • the upper limit is subject to no particular limitation, and is practically 50.0 cN/dtex. (% 1/2 ) or less.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention preferably has an uster unevenness (U%) of 1.2% or less.
  • the user unevenness is still more preferably 1.0% or less, particularly preferably 0.8% or less. Bringing the U% to 1.2% or less allows a textile for clothing to generate no uneven dyeing or no streak during dyeing, and to have good appearance and excellent product quality.
  • the lower limit is subject to no particular limitation, and is practically 0.3% or more.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention preferably has a variation coefficient of elongation of 1.00% or less at 3 cN/dtex.
  • the variation coefficient of elongation at 3 cN/dtexs is still more preferably 0.80% or less, particularly preferably 0.50% or less.
  • Having the variation coefficient of 1.00% or less makes it possible that, when a given load is applied to an industrial textile such as an air bag, the elongation at break of the multifilament is uniformized.
  • the variation coefficient is due to the irregularity of the crystal structure, and thus, is related to inhibiting uneven dyeing in the case of a textile for clothing.
  • a simple means of decreasing the variation coefficient of elongation at 3 cN/dtex to 1.00% or less is to control a difference between sulfuric acid relative viscosity of polyamide chips to be used and sulfuric acid relative viscosity of the resulting polyamide multifilament.
  • this difference in viscosity is large, the raw material chips before being made into yarns undergo local viscosity increase or hydrolysis due to thermal cross-linking or the like.
  • Such viscosity increase generates spots at which the crystalline orientation is locally increased in the longitudinal direction of the fibers, and such hydrolysis generates spots at which the crystalline orientation is locally decreased in the longitudinal direction of the fibers.
  • the elongation at break is prone to undergo irregularity.
  • the variation coefficient of elongation at 3 cN/dtex is determined by the method described in the Examples section.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention preferably has 0 to 3 fluffs/10,000 m or less, particularly 0 to 2 fluffs/10,000 m, more preferably 0 to 1 fluff/10,000 m. Having a smaller number of fluffs makes it possible to expand the uses to articles desired to have excellent fluffy quality, such as air bags.
  • the number of fluffs refers to a value converted to the number of fluffs/10,000 m from the total number of fluffs measured along a filament having a length of 100,000 m or more while the filament is rewound at a rate of 150 m/minute.
  • the number of voids contained in the polyamide filament as a constituent of the polyamide multifilament is preferably 50 voids/cm or less, that is, 0 to 50 voids/cm, particularly 0 to 30 voids/cm, more preferably 0.2 to 20 voids/cm.
  • the number of voids contained in the polyamide filament is more than 50 voids/cm, the tenacity of the single filament containing the voids is decreased. This means that the voids in the single filament inhibit drawing.
  • the polymer being melted excessively takes in moisture from the air, and thereby causes hydrolysis, causes a decrease in the viscosity of the polyamide, and leaves the crystalline orientation insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the tenacity.
  • the fluffy quality is degraded.
  • a method of decreasing the voids include a method in which the pressure at which polyamide is extruded by an extruder is adjusted to 20.0 to 80.0 kPa.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a direct spinning and drawing machine to be preferably used in the present invention.
  • raw material chips of polyamide are provided as a raw material for a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention.

  • the chips having a viscosity of 4.0 or more With the chips having a viscosity of 4.0 or more, bringing the total fineness into a range prescribed in the present invention leads to generating minute foreign matter due to viscosity increase, thermal degradation, and gelation caused by the long-time retention of the polymer, and thus, degrading the fluffy quality.
  • the chips having a viscosity of less than 2.8 it is difficult to obtain a polyamide multifilament having a tenacity prescribed in the present invention.
  • the sulfuric acid relative viscosity refers to a value obtained by using an Ostwald viscometer at 25°C to measure the viscosities of the following: a solution of 1 g of chips dissolved in 100 ml of 98% sulfuric acid; and 98% sulfuric acid having no chip dissolved therein. The details of the measurement are as described in the Examples section.

  • ⁇ 0.3 inhibits viscosity increase and thermal degradation due to the long-time retention of the polymer, or inhibits the hydrolysis of the polyamide.
  • the polyamide multifilament produced can be sorted out in an inspection step after the production, if such sorting-out is permissible from a productivity point of view.

  • the yarn spun out is not immediately cooled but slowly cooled through the high-temperature atmosphere surrounded by the above-mentioned heating hood. Thereby, the orientation of the polyamide molecules melt-spun is relaxed, and makes it possible to enhance the molecular orientation uniformity between single filaments, thus enabling the polyamide multifilament to have a higher tenacity.
  • An undrawn yarn 5 that has passed through the high-temperature atmosphere is then blown by air at 10 to 80°C, preferably 10 to 50°C, using a cross flow cooling device 3, and thus cooled and solidified. Additionally, in cases where the cooling air is more than 80°C, the single filaments are more shaken during spinning, and thus, for example, the single filaments collide thereamong, resulting in difficulty in yarn production.

  • Comparative Example 2 a polyamide multifilament was made into yarn in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the draw ratio was 3.6. It was possible to make yarn.
  • the resulting polyamide multifilament underwent viscosity increase and thermal degradation due to the long-time retention of the polymer, lost tenacity, and generated many fluffs.
  • Comparative Example 3 a polyamide multifilament having a total fineness of 80 dtex was produced under the same yarn-making conditions as in Comparative Example 2, but in this case, it was not possible to make yarn.
  • Comparative Example 4 a polyamide multifilament was made into yarn in the same manner as in Comparative Example 3 except that the draw ratio was decreased to 3.2. It was possible to make yarn.
  • the resulting polyamide multifilament underwent viscosity increase and degradation due to the long-time retention of the polymer, lost tenacity, and generated many fluffs.
  • Example 5 a multifilament was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the polymer was melted in an atmosphere having a pressure of 101.3 kPa at the feeding unit in the extruder, but in this case, the hydrolysis reaction of the polymer was markedly significant, with the result that the viscosity of the multifilament was much below the viscosity of the chips. Furthermore, an increase in the amount of voids in the yarn caused many fluffs to be generated, thus making it not possible to achieve a tenacity prescribed in the present invention.
  • Reference Example 2 is an example in which a polyamide multifilament was produced in accordance with WO2016/076184 in common facilities for producing fibers for clothing.
  • the retention time of the polymer was short, and thus the polymer was hardly increased in viscosity.
  • the number of drawing stages was one, and in addition, the draw ratio was low.
  • the tenacity was not sufficient, and in addition, the crystal structure tended to cause irregularity in the longitudinal direction of the fiber, exhibiting a large influence on the variation coefficient of elongation at 3 cN/dtex.
  • a polyamide multifilament according to the present invention has a low fineness and a high tenacity and good fluffy quality, and thus, is suitable mainly in attempts to decrease the weight of an industrial material such as an air bag, and to enhance the durability of a textile for clothing.
