The multi-layered spun yarn of the present invention is a multi-layered spun yarn in which the core component fiber is p-aramid fiber stretch-breaking yarn and the sheath component fiber is polybenzimidazole fiber and aramid fiber. The aramid fiber of the sheath component fiber contains p-aramid fiber and m-aramid fiber, and when the sheath component fiber is 100% by mass, polybenzimidazole fiber (hereinafter also referred to as "PBI") is 50 to 65% by mass. , 18 to 35% by mass of p-aramid fiber and 3 to 18% by mass of m-aramid fiber. As a result, the friction strength, combustion burst strength, and discoloration due to friction with washing are all at acceptable levels.
The multi-layered spun yarn of the present invention may be a spun yarn with a tie or a spun yarn with a ring tie, but a spun yarn with a tie is preferred because of its excellent productivity. In the case of the bundled spun yarn, the surface of the core component fiber is covered with the sheath component fiber, some of the sheath component fibers are the fibers wound on the surface layer, and the remaining fibers are the length of the multilayer structure spun yarn. The fibers are arranged in a direction, and the wound fibers on the surface layer are in a real twist shape in which the fibers are twisted in one direction, and the whole is bundled. In the case of the ring-spun yarn, the surface of the core component fiber is covered with the sheath component fiber and the yarn is actually twisted. Due to this structure, the yarn has high strength, low elongation, and high heat resistance.

When the multi-layer structure spun yarn is 100% by mass, the core component fiber is preferably 20 to 40% by mass, and the sheath component fiber is preferably 60 to 80% by mass. Furthermore, when the sheath component fiber is 100% by mass, PBI fiber is 50 to 65% by mass, p-aramid fiber is 18 to 35% by mass, and m-aramid fiber is a blended fiber of 3 to 18% by mass. preferable. As a result, the friction strength, combustion burst strength, and discoloration due to friction with washing are all at acceptable levels.

PBI fibers are fibers made from polymers such as 2,2'-(m-phenylen)-5,5'-bibenzimidazole, which have a thermal decomposition temperature of over 600°C, a deflection temperature under load of 410°C, and a glass transition temperature of 410°C. The point is 427° C. and the oxygen index (OI) value is 41 or more. This fiber has a strength retention rate of 95% even when exposed to air at 230°C for 2 weeks, and can maintain fiber performance up to 1000°C in nitrogen. Textile Encyclopedia" p.848, Maruzen, March 25, 2002). PBI fibers are known as products manufactured by PBI Performance Products, Inc., USA.

The copolymer-based p-aramid fiber used for the core component fiber is manufactured by Teijin Ltd. under the trade name of "Technora". The "Technora" is copolyparaphenylene-3,4'-oxydiphenylene-terephthalamide. These fibers have a tensile strength of 24.5-24.7 cN/dtex, a thermal decomposition onset temperature of about 500° C., and an oxygen index (OI) value of 25.

The m-aramid fiber used for the sheath component fiber is, for example, manufactured by Du Pont in the United States under the trade name "Nomex"s (the same trade name is manufactured by Toray DuPont in Japan), manufactured by Teijin under the trade name "Conex", Made in China by Yantai Taiwa Co., Ltd., with the product name “New Star”. The product name "Nomex" has a tensile strength of 3.6 cN/decitex, a thermal decomposition initiation temperature of about 400°C, and an oxygen index (OI) value of 29-30.

The p-aramid fiber used for the sheath component fiber is a homopolymer system manufactured by Du Pont in the United States under the trade name "Kevlar" (same trade name as manufactured by Toray Du Pont in Japan), and manufactured by Teijin under the trade name "Twaron". registered trademark)”, and the product name “Taparan” manufactured by Taiwa Yantai.

Copolymer p-aramid fibers are available from Teijin under the trade name of "Technora". These fibers have a tensile strength of 20.3-24.7 cN/decitex, a thermal decomposition initiation temperature of about 500-550° C., and an oxygen index (OI) value of 25-29. Its heat resistance and flame resistance are higher than those of ordinary fibers.

It is preferable that the core component fiber is a stretch-broken spun yarn of a copolymer p-aramid fiber, and the p-aramid fiber of the sheath component fiber is a homopolymer p-aramid fiber. Copolymer para-aramid has excellent strength, so it is used in the core to increase the strength of the yarn, and homopolymer para-aramid has excellent flame resistance, so it is used in the sheath to prevent the yarn from burning. I'm letting

In multi-layered spun yarn, some fibers of the sheath component fibers are wound fibers on the surface layer, and the wound fibers on the surface layer are twisted in one direction, and the whole is bundled. be. Here, the whole means fibers other than the stretch-break spun yarn of the core component fiber and the wound fiber of the sheath component fiber.

When the multilayer structure spun yarn is 100% by mass, the core component fiber is preferably 20 to 40% by mass, and the sheath component fiber is preferably 60 to 80% by mass, more preferably 22 to 38% by mass. , the sheath component fiber is 62 to 78% by mass. If the content of the core component fiber is less than 20% by mass, the stretch-break spun yarn of the core component fiber must be made very fine, and it is difficult to produce the stretch-break spun yarn. On the other hand, when the core component fiber exceeds 40% by mass, the covering property of the sheath component fiber becomes low. If the sheath component fiber content is less than 60% by mass, good coverage is not obtained, and if it exceeds 80% by mass, the overall fineness of the multi-layered structure spun yarn increases, which is undesirable.

The copolymer-based p-aramid fiber stretch-cut spun yarn of the core component fiber is preferably a tow-broken cut spun yarn. Since the tow-broken strain-breaking fiber is a torn fiber, it becomes a multi-layered spun yarn with good affinity between the core component fiber and the sheath component fiber and good integration. This stretch-break spun yarn may be a direct spinning method in which draft-twisting is performed with one spinning machine, or it may be made into a sliver and twisted and then spun in two or more processes (Perlock method or converter method). good. Direct spinning is preferred. By using the stretch-breaking spun yarn, it is possible to obtain a core-sheath structure spun yarn that can maintain a high strength and is excellent in integration with the sheath fiber.

The preferred fineness of the stretch-breaking spun yarn is preferably in the range of 5.56 to 20.0 tex (50 to 180 metric single yarn), more preferably 6.67 to 16.7 tex (50 to 180 metric single yarn). in the range of 60 to 150 single yarns). If the fineness is within the above range, the strength is high, and it is suitable for heat-resistant protective clothing and the like in terms of texture and the like. The number of twists is preferably 350 to 550 twists/m, more preferably 400 to 500 twists/m, for a 125 metric count single yarn. If the number of twists is within the above range, the integrity with the coated fiber is further enhanced. Moreover, the preferred fiber length is distributed in the range of 30 to 180 mm, and the average fiber length is in the range of 45 to 150 mm, preferably 50 to 125 mm. Within this range, the strength can be maintained even higher.

The PBI fiber of the sheath component fiber is preferably a square cut product. Square cuts are repeated cuts of a certain length at right angles. For example, in the case of a 51 mm square cut, all fibers have a uniform length of 51 mm. The single fiber fineness is preferably in the range of 1-5 dtex, more preferably in the range of 1.5-4 dtex.

The sheath component fibers are processed into short fiber bundles of optimum shape and form by a spinning method according to the fineness and fiber length. Here, the hue and the mixing of different types of fibers can be achieved, for example, by passing multiple types of fiber bundles (sliver) each having a composition of 100% through a mixed hair intersecting gill box, and doubling them in the subsequent comber or prespinning process. and by the drafting action parallel and symmetrical. This method is hereinafter referred to as "sliver blending". This method has a good yield and is suitable for high-mix low-volume production. Here, the blending of shades and different fibers is done mainly in the carding machine during the blending and carding process. This method is hereinafter referred to as "card blending", and although the yield is poor, it is suitable for mass production of a small variety of products.

The multi-layer structure spun yarn preferably has a metric count (single yarn) of 28 to 52 (fineness: 357 to 192 decitex). Within this range, protective clothing with good workability can be obtained. The multi-layered spun yarn is a two-ply yarn in which two yarns are twisted, and the metric count of the two-ply yarn may be 14 to 26 (fineness: 714 to 384 decitex). Two-ply yarn not only makes the surface of the fabric clean, but also increases the strength of the fabric.

The twist coefficient K of the two-ply yarn is preferably 100-200. However, the coefficient K is calculated by the following formula (1).
K=T/√C Expression (1)
T: Number of twists of two-ply yarn (twists/m)
C: Two-ply yarn count (m / g)

The heat-resistant protective clothing containing the heat-resistant fabric of the present invention is suitable for firefighting clothing, as well as work clothing for ambulance personnel, lifesaving personnel, marine rescue personnel, the military, petroleum-related facility workers, chemical factory workers, and the like. be. In the case of firefighting clothing, it is preferable to use the heat-resistant fabric of the present invention for the outer layer. It is because heat resistance is high.

Next, the apparatus and method for producing the core-sheath structure yarn of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the essential parts of a binding spinning device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
(1) Draft process The draft zone 6 of the binding spinning device 1 is composed of a pair of front rollers 2, 2', a pair of second rollers 3 having an apron, a pair of third rollers 4, and a pair of back rollers 5. ing. A sliver 7 obtained by blending polybenzimidazole fibers and aramid fibers, which are sheath component fibers, is passed through a sliver guide 8, supplied from a back roller 5, and drafted in a draft zone 6. - 特許庁
(2) Combining Core Component Fiber and Coating Component Fiber In front of the front rollers 2, 2′ of the draft zone 6, p-aramid fiber stretch-breaking spun yarn 9 serving as the core component fiber is supplied, and the sliver 7 is drafted. coalesce with the fiber bundle.
(3) Spun Yarn Forming Step Supply the united stretch-cut spun yarn 9 of the core component fiber and the fiber bundle of the sheath component fiber to the spindle 10 arranged away from the discharge part of the front rollers 2, 2', A multi-layered spun yarn 11 is obtained by false twisting with a swirling flow.
(4) Winding process The obtained multi-layered structure spun yarn 11 was taken up by nip rollers 12 and 12', passed through a slab catcher 13, driven by friction rollers 14 of a winding section 17 and supported by a cradle arm 15. It is wound on the package 16 .
The spinning machine used in the manufacturing method of the present invention is sold under the trade name "MURATA VORTEX SPINNER" manufactured by Murata Machinery Co., Ltd., for example. A characteristic feature is that the yarn speed is 300 to 450 m/min, which is about 10 times faster than the ring spinning machine.

FIG. 2 shows a multi-layer structure spun yarn (bundle spun yarn) 20 as an example of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the core component fiber 21 is stretch-spun copolymer p-aramid fiber yarn, and the sheath component fiber 25 is a blended fiber of PBI fiber, homopolymer p-aramid fiber and m-aramid fiber. Sheath component fibers 25 include inner layer fibers 22 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the multilayer structure spun yarn, surface layer winding fibers 23, slack fibers 24, and fluff 26 is also recognized. The wound fibers 23 of the surface layer are in a real-twisted shape, twisted in one direction, and bundle the whole. As a result, there is little fluff, the fibers do not fall off even when worn, and a strong yarn state is maintained. In the above description, "one direction" refers to S-twisted fibers or Z-twisted fibers, and does not mean that the twist angles are the same. S-twist wound fibers or Z-twist wound fibers are determined by the direction of the pneumatic swirl flow of the spinner of the tie spinner. This multi-layered structure spun yarn (bundle spun yarn) 20 consists of a core component fiber (stretch-breaking spun yarn) 21, inner layer fibers 22 arranged in the longitudinal direction among sheath component fibers 25, and wound fibers 23 on the surface layer. It has a three-layer structure. Due to this yarn structure, the yarn strength is high.

FIG. 3 is a side view photograph (magnification of 200 times) of the core-sheath structure spun yarn in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side view view (magnification of 200 times) of the core-sheath structure spun yarn in another embodiment of the present invention. . In each case, there are inner layer fibers arranged in the length direction of the sheath component fiber, surface layer winding fibers, and slack fibers, and fluff is also observed.

It is preferable that the fabric for protective clothing of the present invention is made by twisting two of the core-sheath spun yarns (single yarns) to form a two-ply yarn, which is then made into a woven fabric. The reason for using two-ply yarn is that it is more than twice as strong as a single yarn, giving it a cohesive force that prevents yarn breakage during weaving, and also offsets the uneven thickness of the single yarn, creating a beautiful weave. It is for Two-ply yarn is manufactured using a twister such as a double twister, for example. The double twister is highly productive because it can twist twice with one rotation of the spindle. However, since there are as many as six rubbing points on the long twisting yarn path, the covering tends to be peeled off and disturbed to expose the core. A ring twister with two rubbing points is preferred, and an up-twister with two rubbing points and a very short twisted yarn path is most preferred.

The obtained two-ply yarn is twisted and used as warp and weft to form a woven fabric. As the woven fabric, a plain weave, a twill weave, a satin weave, or other variation weave can be used. When knitted, any of flat knitting, circular knitting and warp knitting can be applied. Any knitting structure may be used. When the knitted fabric contains air, it is knitted into a double-knotted pile fabric. The mat weave shown in FIG. 5 is preferred among the weaves, and this mat weave is a plain +3/3 mat weave. The plain weave part is composed of eight warp and weft yarns and has a plain texture, while the 3/3 mat weave part has three warps and three wefts aligned, and this part protrudes to the surface. Another example of mat weave is shown in FIG. This mat weave structure is a plain +2/2 mat weave. The plain weave portion is composed of two warp and weft yarns and has a plain weave, while the 2/2 mat weave portion has both warp and weft yarns aligned, and this portion protrudes to the surface. Such a woven fabric has an anti-slip effect, and even if the plain weave is torn, it stops at the mat woven portion and is resistant to tearing. This is called a Rip Stop structure in the sense that it prevents tearing.

The weight per unit (basis weight) of the protective clothing fabric of the present invention is preferably in the range of 100 to 340 g/m ² . Within the above range, work clothes that are lighter and more comfortable to wear can be obtained. It is more preferably in the range of 140-300 g/m ² , particularly preferably in the range of 150-260 g/m ² .

The multi-layered spun yarn of the present invention and the heat-resistant fabric and heat-resistant protective clothing using the same do not necessarily contain antistatic fibers or antistatic fibers. This is because PBI fibers easily absorb moisture and are less likely to be charged with static electricity. When antistatic fibers are mixed according to the customer's request, metal fibers, carbon fibers, fibers kneaded with metal particles or carbon particles, etc. are used. The antistatic fiber is preferably added in the range of 0.1 to 1% by mass, more preferably in the range of 0.3 to 0.7% by mass, based on the spun yarn. Antistatic fiber yarns can also be added during weaving. For example, it is preferable to add 0.1 to 1% by mass of "Beltron" manufactured by KB Seiren, "Kuracarbo" manufactured by Kuraray, carbon fiber, metal fiber, or the like.

A more specific description will be given below using examples. The invention is not limited to the following examples.
