Definitions

  • This invention relates to the manufacture of filaments, yarns, threads, ribbons, films and the like, by the dry-spinning of solutions of cellulose acetate or other cellulose esters or others.
  • a solvent which dissolves the cellulose acetate or other cellulose ester or ether under consideration to form a solution of relatively high viscosity as compared with a solution of the cellulose derivative in the volatile solvent alone, for example cellulose acetate in acetone.
  • I may. incorporate in the spinning solutions solvents which form solutions of cellulose acetate having a viscosity at least four times the viscosity of the corresponding solution of cellulose acetate in acetone.
  • the higher boiling solvent yields a solution of the cellulose derivative having at least 6 times
  • the presence of said high boiling solvents in the products may be used to facilitate a stretching operation applied after the products are fully set.
  • cellulose acetate While the invention has been described above more particularly with reference to cellulose acetate, it may be applied to dry-spinning of any suitable cellulose derivatives, asfor example, cellulose formate, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate, cellulose nitroacetate, cellulose nitrate, or other esters or mixed esters of cellulose, cellulose ethers or mixed ethers, as for example ethyl, propyl, butyl or benzyl cellulose, and cellulose ether-esters, e. g. ethyl cellulose acetate and oxyethyl cellulose acetate.
  • suitable cellulose derivatives asfor example, cellulose formate, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate, cellulose nitroacetate, cellulose nitrate, or other esters or mixed esters of cellulose, cellulose ethers or mixed ethers, as for example ethyl, propyl, butyl or benzyl cellulose, and cellulose
  • Example 1 A solution of cellulose acetate in a mixture of 65 parts of acetone and 10 parts of monoacetin is spun through jets of about .08 mm. diameter into an evaporative medium maintained at a temperature of about 70-80 0. Products having improved properties, e. g. good cross-section and extensibility, are obtained.
  • Example 2 A solution of cellulose acetate in a mixture of 66 parts of acetone, 5 parts of xylene and 4 parts of glycol mono-acetate is spun under similar conditions to those of Example 1, and products of improved properties are obtained.
  • Example 3 A cellulose acetate solution such as that specified in Example 2 is spun into an evaporative atmosphere maintained at about 70-80 C. and containing water vapour corresponding to saturation at a temperature of about 45-55 C.
  • a solution which comprises an organic derivative of cellulose of normal viscosity characteristics, and which contains, in addition to a relatively volatile solvent, a proportion of at least 16% on the weight of the organic derivative of cellulose of a higher boiling solvent capable of forming a solution of the organic derivative of cellulose having a viscosity at least six times that of the corresponding solution of the organic derivative of cellulose in the volatile solvent, and extruding said solution through a shaping device into an evaporative atmosphere.
  • a solution which comprises an organic derivative of cellulose of normal viscosity characteristics, and which contains, in addition to a relatively volatile solvent, a non-solvent for the organic derivative of cellulose in an amount equal to 6 to 12% based on the weight of the solvent medium, and a proportion of at least 16% on the weight of the organic derivative of cellulose of a higher boiling solvent capable of forming a solution of the organic derivative of cellulose having a viscosity at least six times that of the corresponding solution of the organic derivative of cellulose in the volatile solvent, and extruding said solution through a shaping device into an evaporative atmosphere.

  • a solution which comprises an organic derivative of cellulose of normal viscosity characteristics, and which contains, in addition to a relatively volatile solvent, a proportion of at least 16% on the weight of the organic derivative of cellulose of a higher boiling solvent capable of forming a solution of the organic derivative of cellulose having a viscosity at least six times that of the corresponding solution of the organic derivative of cellulose in the volatile solvent, together with 6 to 12%, based on the weight of the solvent medium, of a non-solvent for the organic derivative of cellulose having a boiling point intermediate between that of the volatile solvent and that of the higher boiling solvent, and extruding said solution through a shaping device into an evaporative atmosphere.
  • a solution which comprises cellulose acetate of normal viscosity characteristics, and which contains, in addition to a relatively volatile solvent, a proportion of at least 16% on the weight of the cellulose acetate of a partial ester of a polyhydric alcohol capable of forming a solution of the cellulose acetate having a viscosity at least six times that of the corresponding solution of the cellulose acetate in the volatile solvent, and extruding said solution through a shaping device into an evaporative atmosphere.
  • a spinning solution for use in the manufacture of artificial filaments, threads, ribbons and like artificial materials which comprises an organic derivative of cellulose of normal viscosity characteristics dissolved in an organic solvent medium which contains, in addition to a relatively volatile solvent, a proportion of at least 16% on the weight of the organic derivative of cellulose of a higher boiling solvent capable of forming a solution of the organic derivative of cellulose having a viscosity at least six times that of the corresponding solution of the organic derivative of cellulose in the volatile solvent.
