Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A process for improving the processing properties of polyester filaments by treating the freshly-spun filaments before being drawn with an aqueous solution or emulsion of a condensation product ot"1 mo]e of a 1,4-butane-diolpolyglycol ether and 2 moles of a fatty acid.
  • Such oligomer compounds which may be contained in amounts of up to about percent in the polyester fibre materials, cause a number of interruptions in the processing of the polyester filaments or staple fibres.
  • the oligomers which appear in form of deposits on the filaments or fibres may lead to bad running properties, de-
  • oligomer constituents in processing operations including -a thermal treatment, such as for example the texturing of polyester filaments.
  • a thermal treatment such as for example the texturing of polyester filaments.
  • the existance of oligomer compounds has also detrimental effects, since any roughness of the surface of the curled material causes interruptions of operation and, moreover, an unsatisfactory appearance of the ready textile material.
  • oligomer constituents also cause difficulties in the usual dyeing processes of polyester fibre materials.
  • Sin'cethe oligomers generally .cannot be dyedfor example with dispersion dyestuffs, they appear on the dyed material as awhite dust, which is to be seen above all in the spinning and subsequent weaving and knitting process.
  • the compounds of formula (I) to be used according to the invention may be prepared for example by esterification of 1' mole of an addition compound of 8 to 24 moles, preferably 10 to moles, of ethylene oxide to l'mole of butane-diol-( 1,4) with 2 moles of a straight Not only the elimination of the'oligomer compounds in the form of very fine dispersions easily to be washed off is obtained to -a' large-extent, but the.
  • present process also causes the lubricating agentsaccording to the invention-to' produce on the-filaments" freed from the oligomersa thin film which ensuresa high sliding cawpacity.-
  • the dynamic friction coefficient between the polyester filaments and fibres is reduced to such adegree that the oligomer portions protruding from the fibre surface in the form of points and elevations do not cause any further interruptions during processing.
  • literof-the aqueous treatingbath there are generally I used about 2- to 18 g, preferably 3 to 12 g of-theseproducts/Acco'rding to the conditions of practice, there may be applied higher or lower concentrations.
  • the prod- 'u'cts it is importantthat after the treatment according to the invention, acertain amount of at. least 0.05 percent of the product according to the invention is to be found onthe polyester fibres or filaments.
  • the concen- 't'ration used of the'products and the way of application are generally chosen in the way thatthe amount applied ranges betweenabout 0.1 and 0.3 percent, calculated on the weight of the polyester filaments.
  • the products according to the invention may be applied one time only or repeatedly, if desiredin different stages of'treatment'of the polyester filaments. lf desired, the products of formula l may be applied once more even'after' drawing, but before drying and before optionally steaming the polyester filaments.
  • auxiliaries for example compounds having an antistatic effect, may be used together with the products of formula I.
  • antistatic agents areabove all cationic products containing nitrogen, such as quarternated fatty acid amides or derivatives thereof.
  • the filament cable was drawn as usual at 170 C in the ratio of 113.7.
  • the cable was curled and cut to give a flock.
  • the staple fibre lubricated thus obtained had an excellent handle and was characterized especially by a very low dynamic friction coefficient, i.e., by a low friction between fibre and metal.
  • EXAMPLE 2 Immediately after leaving the spinning nozzle, a bundle of filaments of polyethylene terephthalate consisting of 300 single capillaries having a single titer of4 deniers were lubricated with an aqueous solution with the aid of rollers at 25 C.
  • the solution contained per liter 0.3 percent by weight of a condensation product of 2 moles of lauric acid and 1 mole of the addition compound of moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of 1,4- butane-diol as well as 0.15 percent by weight of a condensation product methylated with dimethyl sulfate consisting of 1 mole of stearic acid and 1 mole of triethylene-tetramine.
  • the film calculated on the anhydrous products was 0.2 percent by weight.
  • the strands of 40 of these cans were jointly passed to a strand line and processed.
  • the strands were passed to a heating zone with a speed of 20 m/min and drawn off with a transport speed of m/min at C. After drawing, the strands were treated once more with the above-mentioned solution of the lubricating agent, the film, calculated on the anhydrous agent, being 0.1 percent by weight.
  • the lubricated staple fibre thus obtained had an excellent handle and permitted excellent processing in cotton spinning.
  • the polyester filaments were lubricated with an aqueous solution, which contained per liter 0.35 percent by weight of a condensation product of 2 moles of oleic acid and 1 mole of an addition compound of 20 moles of ethylene oxide to 1 mole of 1,4-butane-diol as well as 0.15 per cent by weight of a condensation product methylated with dimethyl sulfate consisting of 1 mole of stearic acid and 1 mole of triethylene-tetramine.
  • the film calculated on the anhydrous products was 0.23 percent by weight.
  • a process for improving the processing properties of filaments and fibres made of linear polyesters which comprises treating the freshly-spun polyester filaments before being drawn, with an aqueous solution or emulsion, which contains as essential component a compound of the general formula wherein R,CO and R CO represent radicals of straightchained or branched alkane-or alkenemonocarboxylic acids having 12 to 22 carbon atoms and the total of n and m represent a number of from 8 to 24.
