Definitions

  • the sensitivity of the yarn in the presence of light increases with its content of titanium dioxide and when said content ranges between 0.4 and 3% by weight, the degradation is even rapid.
  • manganese compounds are somewhat difiicult insofar as at the temperature at which the polymerization iscarried out and in the presence of water such compounds generally become brown thus colouring the polymer.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that the artificial or natural manganous silicate in Rately crushed and purified state, is incorporated either into the polyamides forming monomersor into the solutions of the monomers containing chain stabilizers, catalysts and opacifying agents, the polymerization being provided by usual methods.
  • the manganous silicate may be incorporated at any operation stage, for instance, adding it to the monomer or the partly formed polymer before putting the autoclave under vacuum or to the polymer already formed as chips before their spinning.
  • EXAMPLE I Into a 20 litre autoclave there are put 10 kg. of caprolactam containing 45 gr. of titanium dioxide of the anatase type, 500 gr. of water, 18 gr. of acetic acid and 10 gr. of natural manganous silicate finely crushed and purified the manganese content of which corresponds to 28% by weight.
  • the autoclave is heated to 250 C. venting it from time to time to eliminate the steam. Under continuous stirring and at atmospheric pressure the autoclave is held at same temperature for further 14 hours, after which time it is put gradually under vacuum to ob tain a residual pressure of 260 mm. Hg within two hours time.
  • the polymer formed is finally extruded by the pressure of an inert gas, cooled and cut into uniform chips.
  • the polymer obtained is perfectly white and its visco6sity in sulfuric acid (concentration of 1%) is equalto 2. 5.
  • the polymer After washing and drying, the polymer is spun on a head wit-h a melting grid providing single 15 denier yarns and 6 filament yarns of 30 deniers.
  • the improved light fasteness of a yarn obtained from said polymer is readily apparent.
  • the yarn made of a polymer obtained under the conditions described hereinabove, without the addition of manganous silicate shows, after 100 hours of exposure to light an average tenacity loss of 42% for the count 15/1 and 56% for the count 30/ 6.
  • Example II The operation is the same as for Example I, however with the use of 200 gr. of titanium dioxide of the anatase type as opacifier (correspondintg to 2% by weight of the monomer).
  • the polymer obtained is prefectly white and its relative viscosity in sulfuric acid is equal to 2.80.
  • the average loss of tenacity of the yarns obtained with said polymer after 100 hours exposure in the Fade- Ometer under the conditions described in the Example I, is equal to 3.5% for the count 15/1 and to 5% for the count 40/10 as compared with an average loss of 41% for the count 15/1 and of 69% for the count 40/ observed in a yarn coming from a polymer obtained under similar conditions without any addition of manganous silicate.
  • Example Ill The operation is the same as in Example I, but with the use of 1.8 gr. of natural crushed manganous silicate containing 28% by weight of Mn.
  • the polymer obtained is perfectly white and its visocity in sulfuric acid is equal to 2.66.
  • the average loss of tenacity of the yarns obtained from said polymer after 100 hours of exposure in the Fade-Ometer under the conditions described in Example I is equal to 6% for the count /1 and 9% for the count 30/6 as compared with the loss already disclosed in Example I for a yarn containing no manganous silicate.
  • Example IV The operation is the same as in Example I but with the use of 13 gr. of finely crushed artificial mangaanous containing 28% by weight of Mn as stabilizer.
  • the polymer obtained is perfectly white and its viscosity in sulfuric acid is 2.70.
  • the average loss of tenacity of the yarns obtained from said polymer after 100 hours of exposure in the Fade-Ometer under the conditions described in Example I, is equal to 1% for the count 15/1 and to 2% for the count 30/6 as compared with the loss already disclosed in Example I for a yarn made without any addition of manganous silicate.
  • Example V The operation is the same as in Example I, but with the use of 13 gr. of finely crushed artificial manganous silicate, the manganese content of which is equal to 22% by weight as a stabilizer to light degradation.
  • Example VI Into a litre autoclave there are introduced 8 kg. of adipate of hexamethylenediammonium containing 0.32%
  • the autoclave is heated to the temperature of 110 C.
  • the pressure during 1 hour is gradually lowered to autmospheric pressure, while the mass under continuous stirring is heated to 275 C. and maintained during 2 hours at said temperature and pressure.
  • Vacuum is then applied thus bringing gradually the autoclave to a pressure of a few mm. of mercury within 1 hour, and maintaining said reduced pressure during further half an hour. Finally, the pressure is restored with a dried inert gas and a polymer obtained is extruded. cooled and cut into uniform chips.
  • the polymer obtained is perfectly white and is intrinsic viscosity in metacresol is 1.06.
  • the average loss of tenacity of the yarn obtained from said polymer after hours of exposure to the Fade- Ometer under the conditions described in Example I is equal to 3% for the count 15/1 and to 5% for the count 30/6, as compared with an average loss of 32% for the count 15/1 and of 48% for the count 30/6 of a yarn made of a polymer obtained under the same conditions but without any incorporation of manganous silicate.
  • Example VII The operation is the same as in Example I with the use however of a monomer constituted by 13 kg. of warnino-undecanoic acid containing 0.28% by weight of acetic acid, 58.5 gr. (0.45% by weight) of titanium dioxide of the anatase type, 4.250 kg. of distilled water and 12.5 gr. of finely crushed natural manganous silicate containing 0.28% by weight of manganese metal.
  • the autoclave is heated to C. in about 2 hours showing then a pressure of 8 atmospheres.
  • the temperature is raised still further to 225 C., while maintaining the pressure at its value of 8 atmospheres by venting the autoclave.
  • the pressure is gradually lowered within 2 hours to atmospheric pressure while the temperature of the mass is raised to 260 C. Maintaining these conditions the mass is stirred for 4 hours.
  • for half an hour into the autoclave there is fed a light stream of an inert gas, and, finally, the polymer obtained is extruded, cooled and cut into uniform chips.
  • the polymer obtained is perfectly white and its viscosity in metacresol is equal to 1.02.
  • the average loss of tenacity of the yarns obtained from said polymer after 100 hours of exposure in the Fade-Orneter under the conditions described in Example I, is equal to 2% for the count 15/1 and to 3% for the count 30/ 6, as against an average loss of 33% for the count 15/ 1 and of 42% for the count 30/6 measured on a yarn made from a polymer obtained under the same conditions but without any incorporation of manganous silicate.
  • Example VIII The operation is the same as in Example 1, except for the fact that, instead of being introduced at the beginning of the polymerization, the manganous silicate is added to the polymer already partly formed immediately before the autoclave is vacuated.
  • a light-stabilized, substantially color-free, substantially light-fast yarn comprising a fiber-forming polyamide and containing from .005 to .05 percent by weight of manganous silicate, calculated as metallic manganese,
  • a process for producing a substantially color-free, light-stabilized polyamide yarn comprising the steps of evenly incorporating crushed particles of manganous silicate of a diameter less than ten microns into a polyamide, and of spinning filaments of said silicate-containing polyamide.
