5'0 350 SOLUBlLlTY IN DMF we) PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FIREPROOF FIBERS The invention relates to a process for the production of fireproof fibers from acrylic fibers. More particularly, it relates to a process for the production of fireproof fibers wherein an acrylic fiber is chemically modified by treating the fiber with hydroxylamine and the fiber so modified is then heated in an gaseous atmosphere.
Various methods have been reported for the production of fireproof fibers. Among others, Textile Research Journal 20, 786 (1950) discloses a process wherein acrylic fibers are heated at 200C for 16 hours. It is taught in Textile Research Journal 30, 882 I960) to heat acrylic fibers at a temperature of from 150 to 300C for a period of time reciprocally proportional to the temperature. In Japanese Patent Publication No. 2316/1964 multi-stage heat-treatment is proposed in which acrylic fibers are heated in sequential three stages at respectively selected temperatures. However, these processes require complicated and prolonged operation for the heat-treatment and often result in products which are unsatisfactory with respect to fire resistance and/or mechanical properties.
It is also disclosed in Textile Research Journal 30, 882 1960) to treat the acrylic fiber with a certain chemical prior to the heat treatment thereof. Phosphorus pentasulfide and a mixture of zince chloride and diethyl malonate are mentioned therein as a suitable catalyst for promoting effects of the heat-treatment.
Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 15254/66 and 15726/66 teach to impregnate acrylic fibers with an aqueous solution containing ammonium sulfamate and a nitrogen-containing phosphate followed by heating the impregnated fibers in air. In all of these processes, the acrylic fibers, essentially as such, are heated in air in the presence of a certain chemical which is intended to act as a catalyst. However, none of the proposed chemicals give fully satisfactory catalytic effects.
It has now been found that if acrylic fibers are chemically modified in a manner and to an extent as herein described, such chemically modified fibers can readily be oxidized by beating them for a short period of time to provide products having an improved fire resistance with a minimum loss of desirable mechanical properties.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a process for the production of fireproof fibers which comprises treating an acrylic fiber with hydroxylamine at a pH of not higher than 7 to such an extent that the treated fiber has a solubility of not more than 50 percent in dimethylformamide at 90C and heating the treated fiber in a gaseous atmosphere.
Acrylic fiber referred to herein can be in the form of tows, filamentary yarns, slivers spun yarns, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, or a paper. When acrylic fibers in the form of tows, yarns or slivers are chemically modified in accordance with the invention, the treated fibers may be fabricated into fabrics before being heated.
The acrylic fiber is composed of a fiber-forming polymer containing at least 85 percent by weight of units from acrylonitrile and up to percent by weight of units from at least one unsaturated vinyl or allyl compound which is copolymerizable with acrylonitrile. Examples of such comonomers are vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate; acrylates such as methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate; methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate and Z-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate; vinyl ethers such as methyl vinyl ether; acrylic acid and metal salts thereof; methacrylic acid and metal salts thereof; acryloyl or methacryloyl chloride; acrylamide and methacrylamide, itaconic acid and metal salts thereof; itaconamide; N-substituted derivatives of vinyl acid amides such as N-methyl acrylamide, N-methoxy acrylamide, N-methyl methacrylamide and N-methoxy methacrylamide; vinyl chloride; vinylidene chloride; vinyl pyridines; vinyl glycidyl compounds such as glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate; vinylsulfonic acid, vinylbenzene sulfonic acid, allylsulfonic acid, methallylsulfonic acid, allyloxybenzene sulfonic acid, methallyloxybenzene sulfonic acid and metal salts thereof.
A typical reaction of acrylic fiber with hydroxylamine will be the formation of amidoxime as illustrated by the following equation:
CN CN Practically, however, oxidation of the amidoxime to hydroxamic acid and other side reactions will also occur depending on particular reaction conditions employed.
Such reactions should be carried out to produce an evenly modified fiber with minimum loss of desirable mechanical properties. If the reaction is localized and- /or too severe, beneficial advantages of the invention will not be enjoyed and the final product will have unsatisfactory mechanical properties. It has now been found that if the acrylic fiber is treated with hydroxylamine at a pH of not higher than 7 the reaction proceeds evenly and mildly to produce an evenly chemically modified fiber which can readily be oxidized, when heated, to the product having an improved fire resistance and a desirable combination of mechanical properties. In other words, when the pH is higher than 7, hydroxylamine exists in free state and it reacts with acrylic fiber so rapidly that the even modification of the acrylic fiber is difficult. Further, at the pH of higher than 7, many side reactions occur and the modified acrylic fiber to be obtained is considerably coloured. Still further, free hydroxylamine is a poison and there is a danger that it may explode at a temperature higher than C.
The hydroxylamine should preferably be in the form of acid addition salts such as sulfate, hydrochloride, nitrate, phosphate, acetate, formate, oxalate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, lactate, tartrate, benzoate and the like. A pH of the reaction medium can be adjusted to a level of not higher than 7, preferably from 3.0 to 7.0, by addition of appropriate amounts of suitable known buffering agents ifdesired. Examples of suitable buffering agents include, for example, sodium, potassium, ammonium-, zincor other soluble metal phthalate, secondary phosphate, tertiary phosphate, pyrophosphate, triphosphate, secondary citrate, tartrate, oxalate or acetate. A preferred reaction medium is an aqueous solution of hydroxylamine sulfate or hydrochloride maintained at a pH of 3 to 7 by addition of at least one of the above-mentioned buffering agents.
It is essential to maintain a pH of the reaction mcdium not higher than 7, otherwisc the final products will not possess an optimum combination of mechanical properties and fire resistance. On the other hand an excessively low pH level is not so advantageous because it has been found that the reaction requires higher temperatures and/or a prolonged period when carried out at a pH substantially lower than 3.
Practically, the reaction can be carried out at a temperature of below 200C, preferably from about 80C to about 130C. Higher temperatures often lead to an unacceptable loss of desirable mechanical properties.
ticular reaction conditions involving a temperature and a concentration of the hydroxylamine reactant, it usu ally varies from 30 to 90 minutes for immersion, or from 5 to 30 minutes for padding.
Samples of chemically modified acrylic fibers having different values of solubility in DMF were heated in a hot air circulating oven at a temperature of 270C until the products having a fire resistance of grade B, as hereinafter defined, were obtained. The values of solubility (in and the times (in minutes) required for the heat-treatment were plotted in a curve, which is shown In practice the acrylic fiber may be immersed and heated in a bath containing a hydroxyamine reactant and maintained at a prescribed pH level. Alternatively, the fiber may be padded with a liquid containing a hydroxylamine reactant and kept at a prescribed pH level, and then heated e.g. by steaming and then dry heating.
The reaction should be carried out to such an extent that the treated fiber has a solubility in dimethylformamide of not more than 50 percent, and preferably not more than 30 percent, as measured at 90C. When the solubility is more than 50 percent, it is impossible to obtain fireproof fibers having excellent fire resistance in a short period of time. The factors which influence the reaction are concentration of the hydroxylamine reactant, pH, temperature, reaction time, a ratio of goods to liquid and a mode of operation. Preferred reaction conditions will be further described with reference to the attached drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a graph showing a relation between a concentration (in g/l) of hydroxylamine sulfate in the liquid reaction medium and a solubility (in of the treated fiber in DMF:
FIG. 2 is a graph showing a relation between a solubility (in of the treated fiber in DMF and a time (in min) of the heat-treatment required for attaining a fire resistance of grade B as defined hereinafter. Samples of Vonnel 17" (an acrylic fiber produced by Misubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. and composed of a copolymer containing 93 percent by weight of units from acrylonitrile and 7 percent by weight of units of vinyl acetate) were heated in an aqueous solution containing varied concentrations (in g/l) of hydroxylamine sulfate and maintained at pH 5.5 by addition of sodium secondary phosphate at 100C for 60 minutes with a ratio of goods to liquid of l 7. The concentrations of hydroxylamine sulfate and the values of a solubility of the treated fiber in DMF as measured at 90C were plotted in a curve, which is shown in FIG. 1.
As seen from FIG. 1, the higher the concentration of hydroxylamine sulfate, the lower the solubility of the treated fiber achieved. In the case wherein the acrylic fiber is reacted with hydroxylamine by immersing the fiber in a bath containing the hydroxylamine reactant, it has been found practical to use a concentration of the hydroxylamine reactant of l to 30 g/l, especially 2 to 20 g/l, with a ratio of goods to liquid of l 5 to l 80, especially 1 10 to l 50. Whereas in the case wherein the acrylic fiber is reacted with hydroxylamine by padding the fiber with a liquid containing the hydroxylamine reactant and heating, a pick-up of the hydroxylamine reactant on the fiber may be I to 10% by weight.
Although the reaction time required for achievement of the intended degree of modification (i.e. solubility in DMF of not more than 50 percent, preferably not more than 30 percent, as measured at 90C) depends on parin FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 shows that the modified acrylic fibers having values of solubility in DMF of 50 and I0 percent require a heating period of about 120 and about 5 minutes, respectively, to achieve the identical fireproof grade of B. It is also noted from FIG. 2 that the solubility values of not more than 50 percent are essential in order to achieve the desired grade of fire resistance within a relatively short time of heating.
The acrylic fiber which has chemically been modified with hydroxylamine in a manner as described above and has a solubility in DMF of not more than 50 percent, preferably not more than 30 percent, as measured at C is then heated in a gaseous atmosphere to provide a fireproof product.
Although the gaseous atmosphere in which the modified fiber is heated may advantageously be air, other oxidizing atmospheres such as an oxygen-enriched air, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and a halogencontaining gas may also be used. The gaseous atmosphere may contain nitrogen or argon as diluent.
Preferred temperatures at which the modified fiber may be heated are from about 245 to about 305C. When the modified fiber is heated at these temperatures, a fireproof product can readily obtained within a short period of usually I to I20 minutes, with a minimum loss of desirable mechanical properties. Excessively high temperatures should be avoided because they lead to deterioration of mechanical properties of the products. Whereas temperatures substantially lower than 245C are undesirable since the intended fire resistance cannot be attained within a reasonable period of time.
Preferably the modified acrylic fiber is heated under conditions such that the fiber undergoes little or no shrinkage although it is not essential to do so. It has been found that the products obtained by heating the modified fiber under no tension still have acceptable mechanical properties and are superior to those comparable products obtained from an unmodified acrylic fiber.
