Definitions

• the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing polyamide-based yarns, fibers and filaments, and also to the yarns, fibers and filaments that may be obtained by the process.
• Polyarnide-based yarns, fibers and filaments are produced by melt-spinning a polyamide or a polyamide-based composition. Melt-spinning consists in extruding the polyamide or the composition through dies and in cooling at the die outlets. Articles intended for use in many fields are thus manufactured. Examples that may be mentioned include multifilament yarns for the textile industry, fibers intended to be processed by spinning, or for the manufacture of nonwoven articles, cables intended to be chopped to form short fibers that may be flocked, and monofilaments and multifilaments for specific applications, especially industrial applications.
• This drawing step is also carried out for the manufacture of monofilaments. Furthermore, depending on the applications, a drawing operation may be applied to all the types of yarns obtained by the processes described above. Thus, the yarns obtained by the POY processes are very often drawn either directly on leaving the spinning process (integrated drawing), or in a separate step comprising an uptake of the yarns.
• document FR 2 677 376 describes the addition of nanometer-sized mineral particles. The presence of these particles allows the spinning speeds to be increased. However, it is difficult to obtain a good dispersion of the particles, to the extent that the level of breaks during spinning may be large.
• One object of the present invention is to propose a process for manufacturing yarns, fibers and filaments based on a polyamide composition having a molecular structure that makes it possible to improve the total production efficiency of the spinning process, especially by improving the drawability of the yarns produced, thus making it possible to have, for example, for an identical spinning speed, a much higher metreage of yarns per unit of time produced after spinning.
• the invention proposes a process for manufacturing synthetic, polyamide-based yarns, fibers and filaments, comprising the following operations:
• compound A a linear polyamide
• compound B chosen from the group comprising:
• a polyamide or a polyamide composition comprising:
• starburst or H-shaped macromolecular chains comprising one or more cores and at least three polyamide branches or three polyamide segments linked to the said core, obtained from amino acid and/or lactam monomers,
• melt flow index of the polyamide or of the polyamide composition measured according to ISO standard 1133 at 275° C. under a 100 g charge being greater than 20 g/10 min
• the term “spinning” means the operation consisting in extruding the material in melt form through dies and then in cooling it between the dies and at least one first point of entrainment.
• the expression “process for manufacturing yarns, fibers and filaments” means the combination of steps leading to yarns, fibers and filaments.
• the process especially comprises the spinning operation. It may comprise other operations carried out after the spinning operation, including a drawing step (in continuous mode or in repeat mode), making it possible to improve the mechanical properties of the spun products and to obtain, for example, a rupture modulus and a residual elongation at break that are compatible with the processes for using these products and the processes for treating them.
• Processes for treating the spun products that may be mentioned include relaxing, curling, texturing, heat-setting and dyeing treatments.
• the process according to the invention comprises an operation of melt-blending at least two compounds, a compound A and a compound B.
• the two compounds are thermoplastic.
• the blend may be obtained by any means conventionally used for producing a blend of two thermoplastic compounds, for example a single-screw or twin-screw and/or a barrier-screw extrusion device. It is possible, for example, to add granules of compound B to compound A in melt form, or to mix together granules of compound A and of compound B and to melt the blend of granules.
• additives such as pigments, delustring agents, dull-spinning agents, catalysts, heat and/or light stabilizers, antibacterial agents and antifungal agents. It may be, for example, a dull-spinning agent chosen, for example, from titanium dioxide or zinc sulphide particles.
• the melt-blending may be followed by a solidification and a granulation.
• the solid blend is then remelted for the spinning operation.
• the melt-blending operation is directly followed by the spinning operation, without intermediate solidification and granulation.
• the blend of compounds is melt-spun. This operation is performed by extrusion through dies, at a suitably selected temperature and pressure. All the known spinning devices may be used.
