Definitions

  • Borzykowski (British specification No. 149,295 of 1920) also applied, stretch to the partially coagulated and still plastic thread by passing it round a roller rotating at a certain speed and then collecting it on a roller rotating at a greater peripheral speed.
  • the plastic thread may bev stretched 25 per cent.
  • the incompletely decomposed filaments may be subjected to the action of hot dilute acid, for example by passing them through a bath containing dilute sulphuric acid, for example 1.5 per cent mm at 95 centigrade, or the filaments acid coagulating bath taken over by the filaments.
  • the stretch may be applied to the filaments by passing them round two rollers revolving at different speeds, care being taken-to avoid slipping of the filaments on the rollers.
  • the stretching of the filaments according to this invention must be carried out at a temperature of at least centigrade and we prefer to employ a temperature of 80 centigrade or higher.
  • the filaments After the filaments have been stretched in the presence of hot dilute acid as aforesaid, they can be subjected to the action of hot or cold water, during which, if desired, the stretching can be continued.
  • the process of this invention is particularly applicable to the production of continuous filaments from viscose by the centrifugal process, and also to the production of discontinuous filaments such as staple fibre, for instance when the filaments, after leaving the coagulating bath and passing through the hot dilute acid bath in which stretching is effected, are passed into a cutter of the type described in British specification No. 289,028.
  • Example Viscose containing 7.4 per cent of cellulose is passed through a nozzle containing 60 holes, at such a rate that the finished thread is about 120 denier, into a bath containing 9.5 per cent of sulphuric acid, 4.0 per cent of zinc sulphate and 20 per cent of sodium sulphate, at a temperature of 50 centigrade, the coagulated filaments being allowed to remainin the bath for a distance of about 20 centimetres.
  • the thread is then immediately led round a wheel with a peripheral speed of 30 metres per minute and then for a distance of, 50 centimetres through a bath containing 1.5 per cent of sulphuric acid with the addition of 3 percent of sodium sulphate and 0.4 per cent of zinc sulphate, at 95 centigrade, then round a second wheel rotating with a peripheral speed of 56 metres per minute and it is collected finally in a centrifugal box rotating at 6,000 revolutions per minute.
  • a process for the manufacture and production of continuous or discontinuous filaments of relatively high tenacity from Viscose which consists in partially coagulating the viscose filaments in a bath containing sulphuric acid and zinc and sodium sulphates wherein the proportion of the salts to the acid is such that immediate complete coagulation is prevented, then stretching the thus coagulated filaments with attendant reduction in cross section while passing them -i through a dilute acid bath which contains less acidthan the aforesaid coagulating bath and is maintained at atemperature above 60. centigrade, which increases the plasticity of the partially decomposed cellulose xanthate filaments.
  • a process for the manufacture and production of continuous or discontinuous filaments of relatively high tenacity from viscose which consists in partially coagulating the viscose filaments in a bath containing sulphuric acid and zinc and sodium sulphates wherein the proportion of the salts to the acid is such that immediate complete coagulation is prevented, then stretching the thus coagulated filaments with attendant reduction in cross section while'passing them through a dilute acid bath which contains less acid than the aforesaid coagulating bath and is maintained at a temperature above 60 centigrade, which increases the plasticity of the partially decomposed cellulose xanthate filaments, acid for said dilute acid bath being the filaments from the coagulating bath.
  • a process for the manufacture and produc tion of continuous or discontinuous filaments of relatively high tenacity from viscose which consists in partially coagulating the viscose filaments provided by acid taken over by in a bath containing sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate and at least 2.5 per cent of zinc sulphate, the proportion of the said salts to the acid being such that immediate complete coagulation is prevented, then stretching the thus coagulated filaments with attendant reduction in cross section while passing them through a dilute acid bath which contains less acid than the aforesaid coagulating bath and is maintained at a temperature above 60 centigrade, which increases the filaments with attendant reduction in cross section while passing them through a dilute acid bath which contains less acid than the aforesaid coagulating bath and is maintained at a temperature above 60 centigrade, which increases the plasticity of the partially decomposed cellulose xanthate filaments.
  • a process for the manufacture and production of continuous or discontinuous filaments of relatively high tenacity from viscose which consists in partially coagulating the viscose filaments in a bath containing about 9.5 per cent of sulphuric acid, 4.0 per cent of zinc sulphate and 20 per cent of sodium sulphate, the said proportions of salts to acid being such that immediate complete coagulation is prevented, then stretching the thus coagulated filaments with attendant reduction in cross section by leading them in succession round two rollers, the second of which is rotating with a peripheral speed about 87 per cent greater than that of the first, while passing them through a dilute acid bath which contains less acid than the aforesaid coagulating bath and is maintained at a temperature of about centigrade which increases the plasticity of the partially decomposed cellulose xanthate filaments.
