Definitions

• the present invention belongs to the technical field of polyamide materials, and relates to a polyamide sea-island fiber, a process for producing the same and use thereof.
• Sea-island composite fibers also known as hyper-conjugated fibers, are formed by embedding a polymer in an extremely fine form (fibril) in another polymer (matrix). They are also called sea-island fiber because the dispersed phase (fibril) is in the form of island in the fiber cross section. Ultra-fine fibers are obtained by dissolving the sea component from the sea-island fiber.
• Sea-island fibers can be divided into two types, namely, figured sea-island fiber and unfigured sea-island fiber according to distribution rule. The figured sea-island fibers are uniform and immobile with regard to the island distribution, and are generally spun by a composite spinning process.
• the unfigured fibers are mainly manufactured by blending spinning.
• the sea component in the sea-island composite fiber is a water-soluble polymer.
• the sea component is removed by dissolving with water via hydrolysis to obtain isolated island components. Ultrafine fibers with a linear density of 0.03-0.3 dtex are thus formed, which are mainly used for imitation suede materials.
• the island component is dissolved off, resulting in hollow fibers, which are mainly used for adsorption materials.
• the ultra-fine characteristics of sea-island fibers impart them excellent properties that conventional fibers cannot achieve: 1. soft and delicate hand feel, and significantly reduced bending rigidity; 2. good softness, and improved bending rigidity; 3. soft gloss and increased diffused light; 4. high cleaning capability; and increased contact area; 5. high water and oil absorption; 6. high density in structure; 7. strong thermal insulation, and more air retained.
• the products have both the properties of natural leather (such as hygroscopicity, softness and comfort) and the advantages such as good chemical resistance, good physical properties, waterproofness and light weight. They are mainly used in the fields of clothing, home textiles, industrial applications, etc..
• the clothing includes imitation wools, imitation silks, imitation leathers, imitation peach skins, imitation suedes, high-density waterproof fabrics, thermal insulation materials, safety shoes and the like.
• the field of home textiles includes high-performance cleaning clothes, sofa cloth, curtain cloth, cases and the like.
• the field of industrial applications includes electronic product protective equipment, automotive trims, high-performance adsorbing and filtering materials, highly oil absorptive materials, and highly water absorptive materials.
• Sea-island composite fibers have low linear density, large specific surface area; absorb more dyes quickly, and have small fiber radius. Therefore, the distance for the dye to diffuse into such fibers is short, the diffusion time is short and it is easy for the dye to penetrate deeply.
• the fibers have a high content of amorphous region and the dyeing dyes fast, which gives the sea-island fibers a poor levelness.
• Ultrafine fibers have large surface area, the surface is not smooth enough, the dyes are used in a large amount, and the stained dye that is in a large amount is difficult to be removed by washing. Therefore, the wet fastness of dyes on ultrafine fiber fabrics is lower than that on conventional fibers.
• CN106987923A discloses a stock solution dyed black sea-island fiber.
• the stock solution dyed black sea-island fiber is used for solving the problem that sea-island fibers are difficult to be deeply stained and have poor color fastness.
• the fiber comprises a sea component and an island component.
• the island component comprises 1 to 60% by weight of a black master batch, and 10 to 90% by weight of polyamide 6 or polyester; the sea component is an alkali soluble polyester; after splitting, the fineness is less than 0.08 dtex, blackness L value is less than 15, and the color fastness is 4 grade or higher.
• the sea-island fiber is black, and the color is too single, which limits its application.
• CN106435821A discloses blended and melted sea-island fibers, ultrafine fibers as well as a preparation process thereof, wherein the island component is polyamide and the sea component is a water soluble polyester compound, the process comprising: blending, melting and spinning the polyamide and the water soluble polyester, placing the sea-island fibers into hot water, and conducting weight reduction treatment by water to remove the sea component polyester, and thus obtain the polyamide ultrafine fibers.
• the island component is selected from polyamide 6 and polyamide 66
• the sea component is selected from water-soluble polyester.
• a sea-island fiber is prepared by a blend spinning process, wherein the island component is used as the dispersed phase and the sea component is used as the matrix.
• the blending during the processing is non-uniform, which results in non-uniform distribution of the island component.
• the components are greatly different in the thickness upon splitting, which affects the subsequent dyeing and causes a chromatic difference.
• a first object of the present invention is to provide a polyamide sea-island fiber simultaneously having better mechanical properties, better softness and good dyeing properties.
