Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved spinning process applicable to the production of spun goods from synthetic linear polymers.
- the purpose of avoiding the aforementioned troubles is achieved in a very simple and advantageous manner and perfectly wound yarn packages are obtained, by extruding the polymer in the customary way, by winding up the resulting thread at a suitable temperature in an atmosphere with a low relative humidity, preferably less than 50%, and by leaving the wound thread in such atmosphere during some hours.
- a suitable temperature preferably less than 50%
- a low relative humidity preferably less than 50%
- the same polyamide is spun at the same speed and with the same count and is wound on bobbins in an en- "Ice vironment at the same temperature but at a relative humidity of 45%, the resulting bobbins are excellent and quite compact. If these bobbins are left in said low humidity atmosphere for a period of time which may go from 2 to 36 hours, but which is preferably comprised between 18 and 26 hours, and are later brought into an environment having the same temperature and a relative humidity of -70% and are left there for some hours or even for .one or two days or even more, they can be unwound in this latter environment at speeds even higher than 200 meters per minute without any difliculty and without any breakages occurring.
- the bobbins after they have been wound and conditioned in the low humidity environment, swell but very little if brought into a normal or relatively high humidity environment, and even after they have remained therein a sufiiciently long time, contrary to what was to be foreseen.
- a process for the spinning of synthetic linear polyamides comprising the steps of forming polyamide filaments by extruding a molten polyamide through a spinneret into an environment, maintaining in said environment a relative humidity not higher than 50%, winding the extruded filaments onto packages in the said environment, and conditioning said filament packages by keeping them in an environment having a relative humidity not substantially higher than 50% for a period of time comprised of between 2 and 36 hours.
- a process according to claim 1, comprising the additional step of transferring the filament packages into an environment having a relative humidity substantially higher than 50% and subsequently unwinding said packages therein.
