Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for improving the heat and light stability during the spinning, subsequent processing and use of a synthetic linear fiber. More specifically, this invention is concerned with a method of producing acrylic fibers which are stable to heat and light degradation not only during the spinning process but also through subsequent normal usage such as dyeing, texturizing and bleaching.
- An object of this invention is to provide a method for tabilizing synthetic linear fibers against degradation due to normal sunlight.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method for improving the color and light stability of acrylic yarns or fibers.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method for improving the color and light stability of fibers or yarns composed of at least 80 percent acrylonitrile and up to 20 percent of another mono-olefinic copolymerizable monomer.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method for the improvement in color and light stability of fibers composed of 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method for improving the color and light stability of fibers composed of a blend of two copolymers, 88 percent of the first copolymer being 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate, and 12 percent of the second copolymer being 50 percent acrylonitrile and 50 percent methylvinypyridine.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a method for the improvement in color and light stability of bleached acrylic fibers against ultra-violet light degradation.
- the objects of this invention are accomplished by treating the fiber during its spinning operation and while it is still in the gel state with a metallic salt of 3,281,260 Patented Oct. 25, 1966 the naphthalene disulfonic acids or the naphthalene disulfonic acids alone.
- the objects of this invention are obtained by treating the acrylic fibers as they are spun through a conventional spinning operation and are still in the gel state with an additive which is one of the naphthalene disulfonic acids or the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids.
- salts are for example; the sodium salt of 1,5, naphthalene disulfonic acid, the potassium salt of 1,5, naphthalene disulfonic acid, or any of the alkali metal salts of any of the naphthalene disulfonic acids such as in addition to 1,5, naphthalene disulfonic acid, 1,3, naphthalene disulfom'c acid, 1,2, naphthalene disulfonic acid, 1,6, naphthalene disulfonic 1,7, naphtha-lene disulfonic acid etc.
- the amount of this metallic salt or the acid itself which may be used or added to fibers may vary from .001 percent to 5 percent based upon the weight of the fiber with the preferred amount being 0.1 percent based upon the weight of the fiber.
- the conventional methods of spinning of acrylic fibers are well known in the art and are not germane to this present invention except that these stabilizing additives are applied to the fibers during this conventional spinning process while the fiber is still in the gel state.
- the polymeric materials which may be employed in the practice of the present invention, are polyacrylonitrile, copolymers, including binary and ternary polymers containing at least percent by weight of acrylonitrile in the polymer molecule, or a blend comprising polya-crylonitrile or copolymers comprising acrylonitrile with from 2 percent to 50 percent of another polymeric material, the blend having an overall polymerized acrylonitrile content of at least 80 percent by weight.
- the preferred polymers employed in the instant invention are those con-v taining at least 80 percent of'acrylonitrile, generally recognized as the fiber forming acrylonitrile polymers, it will be understood that the invention is likewise applicable to polymers containing less than 80 percent acrylonitrile.
- the acrylonitrile polymers containing less than 80 percent aorylonitrile are useful in forming film, coating compositions, molding operations, lacquers and also in forming the modacrylic fibers.
- Suitable mono-olefinc monomers include acrylic, aipha-chloroacrylic and methacrylic acid; the acrylates, such as methylrnJe-thacrylate, ethylmethacrylate, butylmethacrylate, methoxymethyl methacrylate, beta-chloroethyl mlethacrylate and the corresponding esters of acrylic and alpha-chloroacrylic acids; vinyl chloride, vinyl fiuorride, vinyl bromide, vinylidene chloride, l-chloro-l-bromoethylene; methacrylonitrile; acrylamide and methacrylamide; alpha-chloro-acrylamide; or monoalkyl substituted products thereof; methylvinylketone; vinylcarbox
- the polymeric material when it comprises a blend, it will be a blend of a copolymer of 90 percent to 98 percent acrylonitrile and from 2 percent to 10 percent of another mono-olefinic monomer, such as vinyl acetate, with sufficient amount of copolymer of from 10 percent to 70 percent of acrylonitrile and from 30 percent to 90 percent of a vinyl-substituted tertiary heterocycli'c amine, such as vinylpyridine or l-vinylirnidazole, to give a dyeable blend having an overall vinyl-substituted tertiary heterocyclic amine content of from 2 percent to 10 percent, based on the weight of the blend.
- a copolymer of 90 percent to 98 percent acrylonitrile and from 2 percent to 10 percent of another mono-olefinic monomer, such as vinyl acetate with sufficient amount of copolymer of from 10 percent to 70 percent of acrylonitrile and from 30 percent to 90 percent of a vinyl-
- Example 1 A dope composed of 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate and a conventional solvent was extruded into a conventional coagulating bath composed of water and solvent in filamentary form, stretched, washed and before drying then passed through a conventional finish bath composed of the usual lubricating agents, anti-static agents, softening agents; anti-soiling agents, etc., and 0.1 percent, based upon the weight of the fiber, of 1,5, naphthalene disulfonic acid. The fibers were then dried and passed through the conventional textile machinery. The fibers were then subjected to testing by a recording spectrophotometer, made by General Electric Company.
- the fibers prior to being tested by the spectrophotometer was subjected to bleaching with a chlorite.
- the fibers after bleaching were then divided into two parts, the first part being exposed to ultra-violet light and the second part remaining unexposed.
- After being checked with the spectrophotometer concerning lightness it was found that the fibers exposed to ultra-violet light had a lightness of 82.6 and the part of the fibers which were not exposed .to ultraviolet light had a lightness of 89.7.
- the fibers exposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 7.8 and the fibers which were not exposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 1.6.
- Example 2 A dope composed of 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate and a conventional solvent was extruded into a conventional coagulating bath as in Example 1 and the stabilizing additive 1,5, naphthalene disulfonic acid was placed in this finish bath. This additive amounted to 0.1 percent by weight of the fiber. These fibers were not bleached and were divided into two parts, one being subjected to ultra-violet light and the second part being unexposed to ultra-violet light. The fibers were then tested in the recording spectrophotometer, manufactured by General Electric Company, and it was determined that the fibers which had been exposed to ultra-violet light had a lightness of 84.
- the fibers unexposed to ultra-violet light had a lightness of 83.7.
- the fibers which had been exposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 4.4 and the fibers which were unexposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 5.6.
- These readings were compared to a control sample which was unbleached and also had no special stabilizing additive.
- the control samples which were unexposed to ultra-violet light showed a lightness of 81.6 and the fibers which were exposed to ultra-violet light of the control sample had a lightness of 82.2.
- the control fibers which were exposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 5.8 and the fibers which were unexposed to ultra-violet light had a purity of 7.1.
- the fibers which were unbleached and had the special stabilizing additive added to their finish bath showed a marked improvement over the control fibers concerning their lightness and purity whether they were exposed to their ultra-violet light or were not exposed to ultra-violet light.
- acrylic fibers produced by any conventional spinning method showed a marked improvement in their stability to ultraviolet light as to their lightness and purity. This is true concerning both the unbleached fibers and the bleached fibers when they have been treated with the special stabilizing additive while still in the gel state. This will aid greatly in permitting the use of these acrylic fibers in manufacturing yarns of natural color or yarns which will be dyed with the light pastel shades.
- a method for stabilizing synthetic linear fibers against ultra-violet light comprising treating said fibers during their spinning with a member selected from the group consisting of the naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids.
- a method for stabilizing acrylic fibers against degradation due to ultra-violet light comprising treating said fibers with a: member selected from the group consisting of the naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids during their spin- IllIlg operation.
- a method for stabilizing fibers composed of at least percent acrylonitr-ile and up to 20 percent of another mono-olefinic monomer copolymerizable therewith against degradation due to ultra-violet light comprising treating said fiber with a member selected from the group consisting of the naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids during their spinning operation.
- a method for stabilizing fibers composed of 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate against degradation due to ultra-violet light comprising treating said fibers with a member selected from the group consisting of the naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids during their spinning operation.
- a method for stabilizing fibers composed of a blend of two copolymers, 88 percent of the first copolymer being 94 percent acrylonitrile and 6 percent vinyl acetate and 12 percent of the second copolymer being 50 percent acrylonitrile and 50 percent methyl vinylpyridine, against degradation due to ultra-violet light comprising treating said fibers with a member selected from the group consisting of the naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disul-fonic acids during their spinning operation.
- a method of stabilizing fibers composed of at least 80 percent acrylonitrile and up to 20 percent of another mono-olefinic monomer copolymerizable therewith, against degradation due to ultra-violet light comprising treating the fibers while said fibers are in a gel state with a member selected from the group consisting of naphthalene disulfonic acids and the alkali metal salts of the naphthalene disulfonic acids varying from 0.001 percent to 5 percent, based upon the weight of the fiber.
