【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は引張強度が高いのみならず、乾時および湿時のいずれにおいても引張強度に均衡した高い結節強度を有するという優れた特徴を持ち、釣り糸を始めとした水産資材に好適なポリアミドモノフィラメントに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ポリアミドモノフィラメント、特にポリアミド6を主成分としたポリアミドモノフィラメントは、強度が高く、透明性が高く、柔軟性に富み、適度な伸度を有する等の特徴があることから、釣り糸、漁網を始めとした水産資材や工業用途に幅広く用いられている。釣り糸や漁網等の水産資材やレジャーフィッシング用の釣り糸には引張強度が高いのみならず、結節強度が高いこと、すなわち、引張強度と結節強度が均衡していることが求められてきた。特に実際の使用状態である湿時において、高い結節強度を有することが求められてきた。
【0003】
ポリアミドモノフィラメントの引張強度向上、結節強度向上のための提案は、これまで数多くなされてきた。例えば、特許文献1には、共重合ポリアミド6/66にポリアミド66を5〜30%配合してなり、乾時引張強度10.0g/d(8.85cN/dtex)以上、乾時結節強度8.2g/d(7.26cN/dtex)以上、湿時結節強度7.8g/d(6.9cN/dtex)以上のポリアミドモノフィラメントを提供することが記載されている。このポリアミドモノフィラメントは、溶融紡糸の際、常圧水蒸気下で3.1〜4.5倍に延伸、ついで総合延伸倍率が6.2倍以上になるように2段目以降の延伸を行った後、弛緩熱処理する方法で製造されている。しかし、実施例には、比較的強度が得られやすい直径0.17mmの細物モノフィラメントにおいて、乾時結節強度8.2cN/dtex(8.2g/d)、湿時結節強度7.6N/dtex(8.6g/d)が例示されており、同時にやや太めの0.3mmのモノフィラメントでは、乾時結節強度が7.5cN/dtex(8.5g/d)、湿時結節強度が7.3cN/dtex(8.2g/d)が示されるにとどまっていた。
【0004】
ところが、該特許文献1に具体的に記載された結節強度、引張強度、及びそれらの、乾時並びに湿時におけるバランスが、不十分であり、より結節強度が高く、引張強度と結節強度が均衡しているモノフィラメントが望まれていた。
しかも該特許文献1では、ポリアミド66を特定量配合することが必要であり、該ポリアミド66を併用した場合は、連続して紡糸を行う際、樹脂を吐出する口金の部分に樹脂の付着物(いわゆる目やに)が生じやすいという問題があった。該付着物は、紡糸の途中で剥がれ落ちて、製品中に混ざると、糸切れや製品不良等の問題を起こしやすい。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明はかかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、乾時並びに湿時のいずれにおいても高い結節強度を有し、且つこれに均衡した引張強度を有するポリアミドモノフィラメントを提供することにある。

(I)式:
977cm−1吸光度/928cm−1吸光度 ≧ 1.8
【0009】
請求項2の発明の要旨は、ポリアミド6を主成分とするポリアミド6/66共重合体の相対粘度が2.5〜5.5であることを特徴とする請求項1に記載のポリアミドモノフィラメントに存する。請求項3の発明の要旨は、1段目の延伸を、温度90〜100℃で100%RH雰囲気下にて、延伸倍率3.0〜4.5倍にて行い、次に2段目の延伸は、原料であるポリアミド樹脂ペレットの融点より50℃低い温度から融点までの温度範囲内の一定温度で全延伸倍率が、5.0〜6.6倍になるように行い、最後に、2段延伸温度より100℃低い温度から2段延伸と同温度の範囲内の一定温度で、弛緩率0.9〜1.0倍にて熱固定を行うことを特徴とする請求項1又は2に記載のポリアミドモノフィラメントに存する。

【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の請求項1の発明に係るモノフィラメントの素材として使用されるポリアミド6を主成分とするポリアミド6/66共重合体は、アジピン酸とヘキサンメチレンジアミンで誘導されるポリアミド66単位、及びεーカプロラクタムの重合により得られるポリアミド6の単位を有する樹脂であって、共重合の比率は、ポリアミド6単位が50重量%以上であり、50〜99重量%の範囲であるのが好ましく、より好ましくは70〜99重量%である。
なお、請求項1のモノフィラメントは、ポリアミド6/66共重合体以外にポリアミド樹脂を含まない。
【0013】
これらのポリアミド樹脂の末端は、炭素数6〜22のカルボン酸またはアミンで封止されていてもよい。具体的に封止に用いるカルボン酸としては、カプロン酸、カプリル酸、カプリン酸、ラウリン酸、ミリスチン酸、パルミチン酸、ステアリン酸、ベヘニン酸などの脂肪族モノカルボン酸が挙げられる。また、アミンとしては、ヘキシルアミン、オクチルアミン、デシルアミン、ラウリルアミン、ミリスチルアミン、パルミチルアミン、ステアリルアミン、ベヘニルアミンなどの脂肪族第一級アミンが挙げられる。封止に使用するカルボン酸またはアミンの量は、30μeq/g程度がよい。
このようなポリアミドとしてはポリアミド6、およびポリアミド6を主成分とする共重合ポリアミド6/66、共重合ポリアミド6/6Tが好ましく、より好ましくは、ポリアミド6を主成分とする共重合ポリアミド6/66である。共重合ポリアミド中のポリアミド6の比率は、50〜99重量%が好ましく、より好ましくは70〜99重量%である。更に上述のポリアミドを2種以上混合してもかまわない。混合方法は、紡糸用押出機への供給直前までの任意の方法で実施できる。例えば、2種以上のペレット同士をドライブレンドした後に押出機ホッパーに供給する方法、単軸や二軸押出機で予め溶融混練する方法等が挙げられる。
【0014】
なお、本発明において「ポリアミド6を主成分とする」とは、ポリアミド6樹脂を含有する樹脂混合物、ポリアミド6を構成成分とする共重合ポリアミド、あるいはこれらの混合物等において、εーカプロラクタムから誘導される成分が50重量%以上であることを意味する。
【0015】
本発明で使用されるポリアミド樹脂は、ある範囲内の重合度、すなわち相対粘度を有するものが好ましい。好ましい相対粘度は、JIS K6810に従って98%硫酸中、樹脂濃度1%、温度25℃で測定した値で2.5〜5.5であり、より好ましくは3〜5である。相対粘度が2.5より低いと溶融粘度が低すぎて紡糸が困難になるばかりでなく、引張強度も低下する。また相対粘度が5.5より高いと溶融流動性を損うようになり、好ましくない。
また、ポリアミド樹脂には、本発明の主旨を超えない範囲で、染料、顔料、酸化防止剤、耐候剤、紫外線吸収剤、可塑剤等の慣用の添加剤を配合しても良い。
【0016】
本発明の請求項1に係るポリアミドモノフィラメントは、モノフィラメントの状態で測定した赤外線吸収スペクトルの特定波長の吸光度比が前記(I)式の関係を満たす、すなわち977cm−1/928cm−1の吸光度比が1.8以上であることを特徴とする。なお、従来のモノフィラメントは、通常、977cm−1の吸光度は、928cm−1の吸光度より小さかった(すなわちその比は1未満である)。しかして、977cm−1の吸光度は、ポリアミドのγ型結晶と呼ばれる結晶構造に由来し、928cm−1の吸光度はα型結晶と呼ばれる結晶構造に由来する。そして、本発明者等は、γ型結晶を多くすることにより、モノフィラメントの結節強度が向上し、引張強度と高い均衡性を有するモノフィラメントが得られることを見出した。このことは後記実施例と比較例を対比することから明らかである。すなわち、吸光度比が1を超えるものの1.5未満の比較例では、引っ張り強度は乾時、湿時共に比較的高い値を有するものの、引張強度に対する結節強度の割合は、乾時、湿時共に85%を超えるものではなく、均衡が充分とはいえない。一方、この吸光度比が1.8以上の本願実施例の場合は引張強度が高いのみならず、結節強度も高く、引張強度に対する結節強度の割合は、何れも乾時85%以上、湿時は90%以上の高い均衡度を示している。なお、赤外線吸収スペクトルは、一般的な既存の装置で測ることが出来る。
【0020】
に、本発明のポリアミドモノフィラメントは湿時における強度が高く、且つ、引張強度と結節強度が均衡していることに特徴を有する。なお、強度測定時の乾時および湿時とは以下のことを言う。乾時とは成形後のモノフィラメントを、23℃、65%RHの環境下で48時間以上調湿した後、JIS L−1013に準拠して測定することを言う。一方、湿時とは23℃で水中に48時間以上漬浸後に、JIS L−1013に準拠して測定することを言う
【0021】
乾時および湿時の高い強度を有し、赤外線吸収スペクトルが(I)式を満たす本発明の請求項1のポリアミドモノフィラメントを製造する方法は、溶融紡糸したモノフィラメントを延伸及び熱固定する際の温度を、該原料ポリアミドの融点より低い温度で実施することによって、製造したり(なお、この場合の融点とは、DSC(示差走査熱量測定)にて測定した融点ピークを意味する。)することが出来る。
【0025】
ポリアミド樹脂を用いて本発明のモノフィラメントを製造する装置は、通常のモノフィラメント紡糸装置が使用できる。例えば、特開昭63−235524や特開平1−8531にあるように、ポリアミド樹脂を押出機にて溶融押出後、水に浸漬したり、空冷にて固化させた後、湿式または乾式によって延伸し、熱固定を施すことが可能な装置であれば良い。具体的には、まず原料となるべきポリアミド樹脂のペレットを押出機ホッパーへ投入し、溶融ポリアミドをノズルより紡出し、3〜30℃の水浴に通して未延伸糸を得、次いで、1回以上延伸した後、熱固定する。
【0026】
有機ベントナイトを配合していないポリアミド樹脂を用い、2段延伸を行う場合を例に説明すると、1段目の延伸を、温度90〜100℃で100%RH雰囲気下にて、延伸倍率3.0〜4.5倍にて行う。次に2段目の延伸は、原料であるポリアミド樹脂ペレットの融点より50℃低い温度から融点までの温度範囲内の一定温度で全延伸倍率が、5.0〜6.6倍になるように行う。温度がポリアミド樹脂ペレットの融点温度より50℃以上低い場合は、延伸が出来ず、糸切れしてしまう。一方、融点を超える温度では、本発明の効果が得られない。2段目の延伸温度は、好ましくは、原料であるポリアミド樹脂ペレットの融点ピークより40℃低い温度以上、原料ポリアミド樹脂ペレットの融点ピークより5℃低い温度までの範囲である。
また、融点の異なるポリアミド樹脂を2種以上ブレンドして用いる場合は、最も低い融点を基準に上述の温度にて延伸を行う。
なお、全延伸倍率とは、1段延伸倍率と2段延伸倍率の積である。
【0027】
最後に、2段延伸温度より100℃低い温度から2段延伸と同温度の範囲内の一定温度で、弛緩率0.9〜1.0倍にて熱固定を行う。熱固定温度が2段延伸温度より100℃以上低いと、熱固定が不完全となり、経時によって強度が低下する。一方熱固定温度が2段延伸温度を越えると本発明の効果が得られない。また、上記延伸工程中又は後に必要に応じて、シリコンエマルジョンや、ポリエチレングリコール等を主成分とした油剤を塗布してもかまわない。更に、本発明の主旨を超えない範囲であれば、熱固定後、巻き上げたモノフィラメントに、再度延伸およびまたは、熱固定を行ってもかまわない
【0028】
本発明のポリアミドモノフィラメントは、直径が0.001〜1mmであるのが好ましい。直径が0.001mm未満では、細すぎて実用上の強さが不足してしまい、使用する用途が限られてくる。直径が1mmを越えるようなモノフィラメントは、実際には結んで使用することが殆ど無く、本発明の効果を享受するものではない。本発明は、更に、用途や、実用性等の点から、0.1〜0.8mmの範囲がより好ましく、0.15〜0.60mmの範囲が更に好ましい。
【0029】

Polyamide monofilaments, especially polyamide monofilaments composed mainly of polyamide 6, are characterized by high strength, high transparency, high flexibility, and moderate elongation. Widely used in marine products and industrial applications. Fishery materials such as fishing lines and fishing nets and fishing lines for leisure fishing have been required not only to have high tensile strength but also to have high knot strength, that is, balance between tensile strength and knot strength. In particular, it has been required to have high nodule strength in wet conditions, which is an actual use state.

This polyamide monofilament is stretched by 3.1 to 4.5 times under atmospheric pressure steam at the time of melt spinning, and then stretched in the second and subsequent stages so that the overall stretching ratio is 6.2 times or more. Manufactured by a relaxation heat treatment method. However, in the examples, in a thin monofilament having a diameter of 0.17 mm, which is relatively easy to obtain strength, a dry nodule strength of 8.2 cN / dtex (8.2 g / d), a wet nodule strength of 7.6 N / dtex. (8.6 g / d) is exemplified. At the same time, with a slightly thicker 0.3 mm monofilament, the dry nodule strength is 7.5 cN / dtex (8.5 g / d) and the wet nodule strength is 7.3 cN. Only / dtex (8.2 g / d) was shown.
[0004]
However, the knot strength and tensile strength specifically described in Patent Document 1 and the balance between the dry and wet conditions are insufficient, the knot strength is higher, and the tensile strength and the knot strength are balanced. The desired monofilament was desired.
In addition, in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to blend a specific amount of polyamide 66. When the polyamide 66 is used in combination, a resin deposit ( There is a problem that so-called eyes are likely to occur. When the adhering material is peeled off in the middle of spinning and mixed in the product, problems such as yarn breakage and product defects are likely to occur.

If the relative viscosity is less than 2.5, the melt viscosity is too low to make spinning difficult, and the tensile strength also decreases. On the other hand, if the relative viscosity is higher than 5.5, the melt fluidity is impaired, which is not preferable.
The polyamide resin may be blended with conventional additives such as dyes, pigments, antioxidants, weathering agents, ultraviolet absorbers, plasticizers and the like within the scope of the present invention.
[0016]
In the polyamide monofilament according to claim 1 of the present invention, the absorbance ratio of the specific wavelength of the infrared absorption spectrum measured in the monofilament state satisfies the relationship of the above formula (I), that is, the absorbance ratio of 977 cm −1 / 928 cm −1. It is 1.8 or more. Incidentally, conventional monofilaments, usually, the absorbance of 977cm -1 was less than the absorbance of 928cm -1 (i.e. the ratio is less than 1). Thus, the absorbance at 977 cm −1 is derived from a crystal structure called polyamide γ-type crystal, and the absorbance at 928 cm −1 is derived from a crystal structure called α-type crystal. The inventors have found that increasing the γ-type crystal improves the knot strength of the monofilament, and a monofilament having a high balance with the tensile strength can be obtained. This is clear from the comparison of examples and comparative examples described later. That is, in the comparative example having an absorbance ratio of more than 1 but less than 1.5, the tensile strength has a relatively high value in both dry and wet conditions, but the ratio of the knot strength to the tensile strength is in both dry and wet conditions. It does not exceed 85%, and the balance is not sufficient. On the other hand, in the case of the Examples of the present application in which the absorbance ratio is 1.8 or more, not only the tensile strength is high, but also the knot strength is high, and the ratio of the knot strength to the tensile strength is 85% or more when dry, and when wet A high degree of balance of 90% or more is shown. The infrared absorption spectrum can be measured with a general existing device.
[0020]
In particular, the polyamide monofilament of the present invention has high strength in wet-and, characterized in that the tensile strength and knot strength is balanced. In addition, the dry time at the time of intensity | strength measurement and the wet time mean the following. “Dry” means that the monofilament after molding is conditioned in an environment of 23 ° C. and 65% RH for 48 hours or more and then measured according to JIS L-1013. On the other hand, “wet” refers to measurement according to JIS L-1013 after immersion in water at 23 ° C. for 48 hours or more .
[0021]
Has a high strength of dry time and wet-infrared absorption spectrum method for producing the polyamide monofilament of Claim 1 of the present invention satisfying the formula (I) is molten spun monofilament when stretching and heat setting the the temperature, by carrying out at a temperature below the melting point of the raw material polyamides, produced or (Incidentally, the melting point of this case means a melting point peak as measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).) you I can do it.
[0025]
Apparatus for making a monofilament of the present invention using the polyamide resins are usually of monofilament spinning apparatus can be used. For example, as disclosed in JP-A-63-235524 and JP-A-1-8531, a polyamide resin is melt-extruded by an extruder, immersed in water or solidified by air cooling, and then stretched by a wet or dry method. Any device that can be heat-fixed may be used. Specifically, firstly, polyamide resin pellets to be used as raw materials are put into an extruder hopper, molten polyamide is spun from a nozzle, passed through a water bath at 3 to 30 ° C. to obtain undrawn yarn, and then one or more times After stretching, heat setting is performed.
[0026]
The case where two-stage stretching is performed using a polyamide resin not containing organic bentonite will be described as an example. First-stage stretching is performed at a temperature of 90 to 100 ° C. in a 100% RH atmosphere and a stretching ratio of 3.0. Perform at ~ 4.5 times. Next, the second stretching is performed so that the total stretching ratio is 5.0 to 6.6 times at a constant temperature within a temperature range from a temperature lower than the melting point of the polyamide resin pellets as a raw material to a melting point. Do. When the temperature is lower by 50 ° C. or more than the melting point temperature of the polyamide resin pellets, the drawing cannot be performed and the yarn is broken. On the other hand, at the temperature exceeding the melting point, the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained. The stretching temperature in the second stage is preferably in the range of a temperature 40 ° C. lower than the melting point peak of the raw material polyamide resin pellets and a temperature lower than the melting point peak of the raw material polyamide resin pellets by 5 ° C.
When two or more types of polyamide resins having different melting points are blended and used, stretching is performed at the above-mentioned temperature with the lowest melting point as a reference.
The total draw ratio is a product of a one-stage draw ratio and a two-stage draw ratio.
[0027]
Finally, heat fixing is performed at a relaxation rate of 0.9 to 1.0 times at a constant temperature in the range of 100 ° C. lower than the two-stage stretching temperature to the same temperature as the two-stage stretching. When the heat setting temperature is 100 ° C. or more lower than the two-stage stretching temperature, heat setting becomes incomplete and the strength decreases with time. On the other hand, if the heat setting temperature exceeds the two-stage stretching temperature, the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained. Moreover, you may apply | coat the oil agent which has silicon emulsion, a polyethyleneglycol, etc. as a main component during the said extending process or after the necessity as needed. Furthermore, as long as it does not exceed the gist of the present invention, the wound monofilament may be stretched and / or heat-set again after heat setting .
[0028]
The polyamide monofilament of the present invention preferably has a diameter of 0.001 to 1 mm. If the diameter is less than 0.001 mm, it is too thin and the practical strength is insufficient, and the use is limited. Monofilaments having a diameter exceeding 1 mm are rarely used in actual connection and do not enjoy the effects of the present invention. In the present invention, the range of 0.1 to 0.8 mm is more preferable, and the range of 0.15 to 0.60 mm is more preferable from the viewpoints of application and practicality.
