Description

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A blend of hydrophobic synthetic fibers having improved antistatic properties and improved processability through textile machines consisting essentially of a major proportion comprising from about 55% to about 90% of the fibers in the blend having applied thereto a durable friction-reducing antistatic agent and a minor proportion comprising from about 10% to about 45% of the fibers in the blend having applied thereto a friction-increasing agent.
This invention relates to synthetic fibers which have improved antistatic properties and improved processability through textile machines. More particularly, these two desirable characteristic of synthetic fibers, are achieved through the use of the present invention wherein a major proportion of the fibers in a blend of such fibers have incorporated therein a durable antistatic agent while the remaining minor proportion of the fibers in such blend have incorporated therein a friction-increasing agent, which, preferably, is a nondurable antistatic agent.
The difiiculties arising from the generation and accumulation of static electricity in synthetic fibers, due to their hydrophobic nature, are well known. These difiiculties arise during the use of end products made from such fibers, and, to an even greater extent, during textile processing and manufacturing operations to make such end products.
In order to overcome these difficulties, it has been proposed to apply durable antistatic agents to these fibers or to a minor proportion of such fibers in a blend with a major proportion of untreated fibers.
Unfortunately, such techniques have resulted in greatly increased difficulties in processing the yarns through the textile machinery necessary to convert staple fibers into threads (as compared with naturally antistatic hydrophilic fibers such as cotton and wool). However, these durable antistatic agents do produce textile fabrics which have a softer hand than would be achieved with the same fibers which are untreated.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been found that greatly improved textile processability of these hydrophobic fibers can be achieved while producing satisfactory antistatic properties by blending a major proportion of fibers having incorporated therein a durable antistatic agent with a minor proportion of fibers having incorporated therein a friction-increasing agent, which preferably is a nondurable antistatic agent.
The need for the friction-increasing agent became apparent when we discovered that the cause of poor processability of the synthetic fibers treated with a durable antistatic agent resulted from a lowering of the frictional char.- acteristics of such yarns.
However, it was also discovered that the textile fabrics made from yarns processed in accordance with our invention had a relatively harsh hand unless the friction-increasing agent was nondurable (i.e., could be readily removed from the fabrics by scouring, washing, etc.). Accordingly, our invention therefore contemplates that the friction-increasing agent preferably be a nondurable agent when it is desired to produce fabrics having a relatively soft hand.
Also, since the tendency of hydrophobic fibers} to build up static charges is much greater during the conditions of textile processing, particularly those encountered in picking and carding, then it is during conditions of consumer use of the textile products, it is important that the fibers have a higher degree of antistatic properties during textile processing. Accordingly, the friction-increasing agent should also possess antistatic properties so as to provide the higher degree of protection necessary during the textile processing operations.
Illustrative of hydrophobicsynthetic fiberswhich are .of particular interest in the practice of our invention are those fibers prepared from vinyl polymers, for example, acrylic fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, and the like, and fibers prepared from polymers of polyesters, polyacetals, polyurethanes, and polyamides.
Any of the many durable antistatic agents commonly known may be used on the major proportion of the hydrophobic fibers. Illustrative of these durable antistatic agents are those formed from polyethylene glycol, such as the condensation products of polyethylene glycol diamine and polyethylene glycol dihalide of which Aston 108, Aston '123, and Aston LT sold by Onyx Chemical Corporation, and Stanax and Stanax 1166 sold by Standard Chemical Products, Inc., are commercially available examples. These compounds may be cured with polyepoxides after application to the fibers to produce a durable antistatic finish therein and thereon by such processes as taught in Anthes US. Patent 2,982,751, issued May 2, 1961, which also lists other compounds of this type useful in the practice of our invention. Similarly, these compounds may be cured with dihalides. Also useful are other compounds sold for use as durable antistatic agents such as Zerostat P (polyoxyethylene diepoxide, cross-linked with a diamine) sold by Ciba Chemical and Dye Co. and Aerotex Antistatic No. 6 (polyoxyethylene amine, cross-linked with cyanuric chloride) sold by American Cyanamid Company.
These durable antistatic agents may be applied to the fibers at any stage of processing in any of the conventional Ways. It is important only that the durable antistatic agent be applied to the fibers prior to blending them' Name Description Sold By Permolite Solubilized alkyd resin. Arkansas Co. Inc.

It is important only that they be applied to the fibers prior to blending them with other fibers which have been treated with a durable antistatic agent, which blending occurs prior to formation of the fibers into threads. Preferably the friction increasing agent is incorporated on the fibers so treated in an amount sufiicient to increase the frictional characteristics of the blend of fibers to a level comparable to those fibers for which the textile processing equipment was designed, as in the cotton system, the woolen system, and the worsted system. Usually this can be achieved with the use of an amount of friction-increasing agent between about 0.25% and 1.0% based on the weight of fibers so treated. It is important that the fibers treated with the friction-increasing agent constitute a minor proportion, preferably. from 10% to of the fibers in the blend, particularly when such agent is nondurable.
The following examples will serve to illustrate a particular embodiment of our invention and some of the advantages thereof. In each of these examples, the fibers used were acrylic fibers of a copolymer of acrylonitrile and methylmethacrylate prepared by wet-spinning from an aqueous sodium thiocyanate solution thereof.
Example Crimped acrylic fibers were padded in a trough with a formulation containing Aston 108 (a condensation product of polyethylene glycol diamine and polyethylene glycol dihalide), cut into 2 staple, wet opened, dried at about C. for about nine minutes, and then cured with a polyepoxide as taught in Anthes US Patent 2,982,- 751, issued May 2, 1961, for about nine minutes at about 114 C. to form a product identified as Fiber A which contained about 0.6% durable antistatic agent based on weight of fiber.
Other acrylic fibers were padded with Nopco LV-40 finish (a mixture of fatty amides and fatty esters), crimped, cut into 2" staple; wet opened, and dried at about 60 C. for'about nine minutes to form a product identified as Fiber B which containedvabout 0.5% nondurable friction-increasing antistatic agent based on weight of fiber.
A blend was prepared containing Fiber A and 35% Fiber B by introducing the dry fibers in the proper proportions into a wet opener and then passingthe mixture through a dry opener. The resulting blend was readily processable through thecotton system (which includes picker, card, draw frame, roving frame, and spinning frame) without .diffi'culty. oven and knitted products from threads so made from this blend of fibers exhibited a very soft hand afterwashing and scouring toaremove 'at all on textile equipment. These fibers were not blended with any other fibers.
antistatic rating after ten machine washes was fair to good or better. It will also be noted that where the fraction of the fibers treated with the durable antistatic agent was 45% or less, the processability on textile equipment ranged from very poor down through not processable.
Example 3 In a similar manner, a lot of Fiber A, prepared as in Example 1, was processed on the cotton system after being properly opened. Numerous interruptions of operations for cleaning were required due to overloading of the feed roll prior to the beater in picking the fiber. The lap was poor, 'very, soft, and uneven. Carding required use of a fancy and loading of the drum was excessive. Sliver from the card, on passing through the trumpet to the can, caused excess finish to build up in the trumpet. Drawing and roving steps were troubled with roll lapping and build-up of finish on the rolls. Spinning was troubled with finish building up on the rolls also, all causing inferior yarns to be formed.
Example 4 Other fibers were prepared using other permanent antistatic agents as indicated in the following table. In this table it will be seen that fibers treated with the permanent antistatic agent ranged from poor to not processable the nondurable finish while still exhibiting satisfactory t li q g b a ti tatic resistance to the accumulation of static charges. 5 iq w-cessa u y a I A Q Exam le 2 Q Stanax 0.25 goorun 0.50 ery poo Good In a manner similar tott-hat of Example 1, other blends 0.75 Not proces bl were prepared in which. a maj r. pr porti n. f the fibers mm 1166 12 V553jjj D were treated with a durable antistatic agent and a minor 1.00 Not processablo. proportion of the fibers were treated with a friction- 108 8:2 gf,- 82 55 increasing agent.

Picking, carding, drawing, etc. were all performed at a commercially acceptable level of performance. These fabrics, so formed, before and after being subjected to the normal predyeing scour or after dyeing had a very harsh scroopy handle characteristic of most man-made fibers. Also, after scouring or dyeing, these fibers had no antistatic protection at all.
Example 6 Fiber C was prepared in the same manner as Fiber A (see Example 1) except that Aston 123 are used instead of Aston 108 and the producted contained 1.75% durable antistatic agent based on weight of fiber.
A- blend was prepared containing 33% Fiber C and 67% untreated acrylic fibers by introducing the dry fibers in the proper proportions into a wet opener and then passing the mixture through a dry opener. The resulting blend could not be processed through the cotton system under conditions approaching normal. During picking, the fibers exhibited static accumulation by adhering to the hopper walls. Also, the fibers bunched up under and behind the feed roll prior to the beater. The lap from the picker was uneven and contained many fused fibers.
-Even when lighter loads of fiber were fed, successful operations were not obtained.
