Definitions
- the so-called modified acrylic type which contains a comparatively large portion of flame resistant monomer units, such as vinyl chloride or vinylidene chloride, in the fiber forming polymer, is known to have not only the same or similar texture and touch or feel as other types of acrylic fibers, but also markedly increased flame retardance thereover.
- flame retardant additives such compounds as those of antimony, zinc, boron, bromine, chlorine and phosphorus.
- acrylic fibers Only a few are known to be effective with acrylic fibers.
- Others are known to be effective only when used in considerably large quantities.
- chlorine compounds such as chlorinated paraffin or tetrabromoethane
- chlorine-phosphorus compounds such as tris-(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate or His-(2,3- dichloropropyl) phosphate show no substantial effect unless more'than 25% by weight (based on the polymer weight; hereinafter similar notation will be used) is added.
- This invention contains acrylic fibers having increased flame retardance, obtained from a spinning composition containing from 0.5 to 30 weight percent (based on the weight of the polymer) of at least one compound selected from the group of magnesium compounds consisting of magnesium monoxide (MgO), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) magnesium carbonate (MgCO and mixtures thereof.
- MgO magnesium monoxide
- Mg(OH) magnesium carbonate MgCO
- Acrylic synthetic fibers which may be used in this invention are those made of copolymers of 20 to 90 weight percent of acrylonitrile, 80 to 10 weight percent of vinyl chloride, preferably of 40 to 70 weight percent acrylonitrile and 60 to 30 weight percent vinyl chloride, and from O to 30 weight percent of other ethylenically unsaturated compounds copolymerizable with acrylonitrile or vinyl chloride.
- Ethylenically unsaturated compounds which may be used in this invention can be any compound which is ethylenically unsaturated and copolymerizable with acrylonitrile or vinyl chloride.
- such compounds may be, although not limited thereto, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid oresters thereof; acrylamide, methacrylamide or N-monoor dialkyl substitutes thereof; halogenated olefinic compounds such as vinylidene chloride, vinyl bromide, or vinylidene bromide; vinyl carboxylates such as vinyl acetate or vinyl chloroacetate; vinyl pyridines such as 2-vinyl pyridine or 2- methyl-S-vinyl pyridine; styrene, a-, substitutes of styrene; allylor methallylsulfonic acid or salts thereof.
- Appropriate mixtures of the foregoing may be employed.
- the copolymerization process can be selected from any of emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization and suspension polymerization.
- the magnesium compounds which may be used in this invention are magnesium monoxide (MgO), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) magnesium carbonate (MgCO and mixtures thereof.
- Magnesium monoxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate show specific, surprising and outstanding flame retarding effect only for the abovementioned acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride copolymers and copolymers of acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride and ethylenically unsaturated compounds, while no such effect was produced when the mentioned magnesium compounds were used with polyacrylonitrile or polyvinyl chloride themselves, or for polyacrylonitrile-polyvinyl chloride blends having the same composition percentages as the corresponding acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride copolymers.
- the inventive additives magnesium monoxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate impart flame-retardance specifically to acrylic synthetic fibers of certain polymer compositions as herein discussed and the flame retardant effect is surprising, marked and substantial.
- the amount of magnesium compounds to be added to this invention is from 0.5 to 30 weight percent, preferably from 1 to 10 weight percent, based on the weight of the acrylic fiber forming polymer. No substantial effect can be expected when the magnesium compound is added in less than 0.5%, while addition of more than 30% impairs mechanical properties, for example tensile strength and elongation of the obtained fibers and also leads to economical disadvantages.
- magnesium compounds can be used in combination with compounds which are known to have flame retardance effect.
- such compounds may include inorganic compounds such as antimony trioxide; aromatic halogen compounds such as hexabromobenzene; aliphatic halogen compounds such as chlorinated paraffin; halogen and phosphorus containing compounds such as tris (2,3-dibromoprophyl) phosphate; organic phosphorus compounds such as dibutylamine phosphate; inorganic phosphorus compounds such as polyphosphoric acid, ammonium polyphosphate and combinations thereof.
- inorganic compounds such as antimony trioxide
- aromatic halogen compounds such as hexabromobenzene
- aliphatic halogen compounds such as chlorinated paraffin
- halogen and phosphorus containing compounds such as tris (2,3-dibromoprophyl) phosphate
- organic phosphorus compounds such as dibutylamine phosphate
- inorganic phosphorus compounds such as polyphosphoric
- magnesium monoxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate or their mixtures can be carried out either in the polymerization stage or in the spinning stage.
- the spinning process used to spin the spinning solution containing the above-mentioned magnesium compound can be either a dry spinning process or a wet spinning process.
- a solvent can be used in the spinning solution in both cases; such solvent can be any compound which dissolves acrylonitrile copolymers in use, for example acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, and mixtures thereof.
- the method used for evaluating flame retardance of fibers obtained by this invention was as follows.
- a standarized specimen form was established by using double twisting filaments and measurements were carriedout for specimen in that form.
- l2 bundles of twisted fibers each comprising 300 of 3 denier acrylic fiber was doubled and heat-set, and was erected on a specimen holder of a limiting oxygen indices tester. Then, the minimal volume fraction of oxygen was determined, that will sustain the burning of the specimen for 5 cm of its length.
- the invention is further illustrated by, but not limited to, the following example.
- EXAMPLE 1 A fiber forming copolymer composed of 50.0 weight percent acrylonitrile, 46.0 weight percent vinyl chloride, 3.0 weight methyl methacrylate, and 1.0 weight percent sodium p-styrenesulfonate was dissolved into acetone to a polymer concentration of 20.0%, and a variety of additives were added to give spinning compositions.
- the spinning compositions were spun into acetone-water coagulation bath through nozzles of 0.1 mm diameter, followed by drying at C, hot stretching to 300% and heat treatment at C for 5 minutes. The thusly obtained samples were subjected to measurement of the flame retardance properties by the above discussed testing method.
- EXAMPLE 4 A fiber forming copolymer composed of 39.0 wt% acrylonitrile, and 61.0 wt.% vinyl chloride, was dissolved into acetone to a polymer concentration of 23%. To the solution, a variety of flame retardant additives were added in combination with magnesium monoxide, and spun in the manner of Example 1 to evaluate flame retardance. The results are shown in Table 4.
- Table 4 Compound Percent added Limiting (Based on wt. Oxygen of polymer) index Control None 30.0 Magnesium oxide (MgO) 5 45.0 Antimony Trioxide 5 Magnesium oxide (MgO) 5 44.0 Zirconium oxide 5 Magnesium oxide [Mg0) 5 43.5 Hexabromobenzene 5

- Table 6 Compound Limiting Oxygen Index Control 45 10% by wt. magnesium hydroxide Over 50
- EXAMPLE 7 In order to test the flame retarding effects of magnesium monoxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate on fibers based on polymers other than acrylontrile-vinyl chloride copolymer, tests were carried out on the following polymer substrates. Because some of the substrates were unspinnable into fiber form, limiting oxygen indices were measured for specimen in the form of pressed strips in this example.
