Definitions
- ABSTRACT Acrylic fiber product made by mix-spinning animal hair fibers, nonshrinkable acrylic fibers having a silicone resin deposited thereon, and shrinkable acrylic fibers having a latent shrinkage at least 3% higher than that of the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers, and heattreating the resultant article.
- This invention relates to novel acrylic fiber products having an animal hair-like hand and more particularly to an acrylic fiber product having an animal hair-like hand produced by forming mix-spun yarns of such animal hair fibers wool or cashmere, nonshrinkable acrylic fibers having a specific type of silicone resin deposited on their surfaces and highly shrinkable acrylic fibers having a latent shrinkage at least 3 higher than said nonshrinkable acrylic fibers, and then heattreating the yarns.
- the present inventors have endeavored to find an in dustrial process of imparting a slippery touch, very similar to that of an animal hair fiber products and an antishrinkability to mix-spun yarns of acrylic fibers and animal hair fibers or to knit or woven fabrics obtained from said mix-spun yarns, wlhich would totally eliminate such defects of the conventional technique.
- they have reached the present invention by discovering the fact that an acrylic fiber product remarkably improved in dimensional stability, even in such tumbling operation as in washing, and having a permanent slippery touch can be produced by depositing a s ecific type of silicone resin on the surfaces of acrylic fibers mix-spun with animal hair fibers and adjusting the monofilament fineness and latent shrinkage.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide a novel acrylic fiber product having an animal hair-like hand.
- Another main object of the present invention is to provide an industrial process in imparting an animal hair-like slippery touch and, dimensional stability dur ing washing treatment to acrylic fiber products.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel acrylic fiber product wherein the structural characteristics of a silicone resin to be deposited on the surfaces of acrylic fibers forming yarns or knit or woven fabrics, and the monofilament fineness and latent shrinkage of said acrylic fibers, are maintained in a critical range favorable to the improvement of the slippery touch by mix spinning acrylic fibers with animal hair fibers.
- an acrylic fiber product made by forming yarns or knit or woven fabrics by mixspinning animal hair fibers, nonzshrinkable acrylic fibers having a monofilament fineness which is 50 to of the average monofilament fineness of said animal hair fibers and having had a silicone resin defined by the structural formula (1) deposited in an amount of 0.1 to 3.0 based on the dry weight of the fibers on the surfaces thereof and highly shrinkable acrylic fibers whose latent shrinkage is higher by at least 3 than that of said nonshrinkable acrylic fibers, and then heattreating them.
- R is R'NH R'NHR or RNHR
- R is CH n is l to 3
- R" is C,,,H- m is l to 3
- y are posi tive integers and the molecular weight of the silicone resin is less than 100,000).
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a fabric friction measuring apparatus to be used to measure slippery touch
- FIG. 2 is an orthogonal coordinate diagram exemplifying the relation between the frictional resistance force recorded by said measuring apparatus and the sample fabric displacement.
- the animal hair fibers used in the present invention are generally such animal hair fibers wool, mohair, alpaca, cheviot, cashmere or Angora rabbit hairs.
- the acrylic fibers are generally fibers consisting of an acrylonitrile polymer or of a copolymer of more than 70 by weight acrylonitrile and other vinylic monomers.
- the amount of said silicone resin deposited is not critical, and it is also possible to deposit said silicone resin on the surfaces of the fibers after having been heat-stretched, while in a swollen gel state containing less than I 70 by weight of water or after being heatrelaxed, mechanically crimped or dried.
- the fibers in order to strengthen the deposition of said silicone resin on the fibers to be treated and to give a permanent slippery touch, it is preferable to dip the fibers, while they are in a swollen gel state containing a fixed amount of water, in an emulsion prepared by dispersing said silicone resin in such emulsifier as a POE alkylphenyl phosphate, so that the silicone resin may be deposited in an amount of 0.1 to 3.0 or more preferably 0.5 to 2.0 based on the dry weight of the fibers on the surfaces of the fibers.
- emulsifier such emulsifier as a POE alkylphenyl phosphate
- the amount of silicone resin is less than 0. 1 7c the slippery touch of the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers will not sufficiently improve and no animal hair-like hand will be imparted to the final product.
- the amount of the silicone resin deposited on the surfaces of the fibers exceeds 3 71 on the dry weight of the fibers, the monofilaments will stick to each other and will roll up on the taker-in roller of the carding machine in the spinning step. This of course is not desirable.
- the monofilament fineness of the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers on which the silicone resin defined by the structural formula l is to be deposited should be maintained in a range of 50 to I00 or more preferably 50 to 80 of the monofilament fineness of the animal hair fibers to be mix-spun with said acrylic fibers.
- the bending hardness of said nonshrinkable acrylic fibers will become substantially equal to that of the animal hair fibers and, by the multiplied action of said acrylic fibers having had the silicone resin deposited on the surfaces to form the surface part of the yarn, the hand or particularly the slippery touch of the final fiber product will be remarkably improved.
- the highly shrinkable acrylic fibers whose latent shrinkage is higher by at least 3 than that of the above mentioned nonshrinkable acrylic fibers are generally fibers obtained by restretching acrylic fiber tows in an ordinary manner with a turbostapler or the like under the action of wet heat or dry heat. So long as they satisfy the above mentioned favorable range of the latent shrinkage, they may be monocomponent fibers obtained from an acrylonitrile homopolymer or may be composite fibers made by eccentrically bonding, in the axial direction of the fibers, two kinds of acrylonitrilic polymers different from each other in thermoshrinkability or gel-swellability.
- the restriction on the upper limit of the latent shrinkage of the highly shrinkable acrylic fibers is not A as strict as on the lower limit.
- it is desirable to maintain the latent shrinkage below 15 In the case of making mix-spun yarns of animal hair fibers and acrylic fibers, it is desirable to maintain the blend ratio of the animal hair fibers to 10 to or more preferably 20 to 50 of the total weight of the mix-spun yarn.
- the upper limit of the blend ratio of said highly shrinkable acrylic fibers is less than 70 or more preferably less than 50
- the latent shrinkability will develop, the highly shrinkable acrylic fibers will be positioned in the center part of the yarn and the loosely crimped animal hair fibers and acrylic fibers having had the silicone resin deposited on the surfaces will be arranged around them to remarkably improve the slippery touch of the final product.
- the slippery touch of a knit or woven fabric can be quantitatively determined by the frictional characteristic between knit or woven fabrics or particularly the stress reduction rate tan a at the time of the kinetic friction as measured with the cloth friction measuring apparatus exemplified in FIG. 1, and have disclosed hand characteristic can not be indicated as the stress reduction rate tan a at the time of the kinetic friction.
- the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers positioned on the outside of the yarn should have a frictional characteristic similar to that of animal hair fibers. In this sense, the amount of the silicone resin deposited on the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers, or the monofilament fineness of said fibers, has a very critical significance.
- the hot water shrinkage, the average fineness, the amount of deposition of the silicone and the washing shrinkage are measured by the following methods.
- a sample fabric 1 is mounted on a sample table 2 in a humidity adjusted atmosphere at 20C. under a relative humidity of 65 is fixed at one end with a sample presser 3, has a load 4 to 30 g. act on the other end and is thus kept tensioned.
- a slider 6 of an effective contact area of 3 cm. (2 cm. X l.5 cm.) on which a compression load 5 of 450 g. is made to act is mounted on the sample fabric 1.
- a sample fabric piece 7 is fixed to the lower surface of the slider 6. The sample table 2 is thus moved at a constant velocity of 12 mm./min.
- the frictional force produced between the sample fabrics is detected with a resistance wire strain meter 8 connected with the slider 6 and is recorded with a recorder 9.
- the indicator of the recorder is shifted to zero point and then, as shown at the points F and G, the detection sensitivity is magnified to 5 to l0 times as high to magnify and measure the slight variation of the kinetic frictional force.
- the stress reduction rate tan a at the time of the kinetic friction means the gradient of the stress reducing part in which a slip occurs between the sample fabrics in the magnified measurement graph and can be indicated as a stress reduction rate per mm. of the displacement of the sample fabric. Therefore, it is apparent that the smaller the value of tan or shown in FIG. 2, the larger the slippery touch.
- one side are prepared, have a circle of a diameter, of 20 cm. described in the center of each of them, are then put into a domestic washing machine (of a vortex type) together with l g./liter of Monogen Uni (detergent), are washed for 5 minutes while maintaining a liquor ratio of :1 and are then rinsed for 7 minutes. Then the sample fabrics are taken out and spread on a table without being dehydrated and are naturally dried. Then the diameters in the longitudinal direction and lateral direction of the circle described in each sample fabric are measured to determine the average values of the shrinkages in the longitudinal direction and lateral direction.
- the acrylic fibers to be tested are cut to a length of 0.1 to 0.3 mm., 3 mg. of them are mixed with 200 mg. of potassium bromide and the mixture is further mixed and ground in an ordinary manner and is then molded into tablets (sample A). Further, tablets of acrylic fibers having no silicone resin deposited on them are made in the same manner (sample B).
- the sample A is placed on the sample side and the sample B on the compensating side of the infrared spectro-photometer Model 521 and the intensity of the infrared absorption at 800 cm. is measured.
- the amount of the silicone resin deposited on the sample A is obtained from the intensity thus measured and the calibration line determined previously.
- a fiber bundle consisting of about 10 acrylic fibers and having a latent shrinkability is bonded at both ends, has the distance between both ends fixed to a fixed length (L is treated in hot water at 100C. for l5 minutes, is then cooled to below 60C., is then taken out, is dried in a hot air dryer at 80C. for 30 minutes and is left for more than 1 hour in a chamber in which the humidity is adjusted to a relative humidity of 7: at 20C. Then the length (L,) of the shortest fiber in the fiber bundle is measured and the shortest acrylic fiber only is cut. Then the length (L of the second shortest sample fiber is measured and said fiber is cut in the same manner.
- the lengths of all the sample fibers forming the fiber bundle are measured. 5 of such fiber bundles are prepared, the lengths (L L L after hot water treatment of a total of 50 sample acrylic fibers are determined and the hot water shrinkages of the sample fibers are calculated by the formula:
- Hot water shrinkage 100 (L L L m/(50 X LO) 5. Average fineness (monofilament deniers):
- EXAMPLE 1 A spinning solution, obtained by dissolving in an aqueous solution of sodium thiocyanate an acrylonitrile copolymer obtained by copolymerizing 9.8 methyl acrylate and 0.2 sodium methallylsulfonate with 90 acrylonitrile, was wet-spun into cold water and was then water-washed and stretched in an ordinary manner to prepare a swollen gel fiber tow of a water content of 80 7a.
- This fiber tow was dipped for 3 seconds in an emulsion prepared by emulsifying and dispersing 2 silicone resin of the structural formula l wherein R is CH NH l POE (9) nonylphenyl phosphate and 0.2 76 catalyst Sumitex Accelerator SX 70A, produced by Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited, was then squeezed so that the amount of the emulsion deposited becomes 80 "/1 based on the dry weight of the fibers and was then treated for minutes in an atmosphere having a dry bulb temperature of 125C. and a wet bulb temperature of 60C. so that the silicone resin becomes bonded with the treated acrylic fibers simultaneously with the collapsing of the void in fiber struc ture.
- the fiber tow was then further treated for 8 minutes in compressed steam at 130C. so that the fiber structure becomes relax, was then fed into a stuffcr box to be crimped, had 0.33 '7: Nissan Unilube 50 MB-l68. produced by Nippon Oils and Fats Co., as a spinning oil deposited on it, was dried and was then cut to unequal lengths of 6 to 140 mm. to make nonshrinkable acrylic fibers of a monofilament fineness of 2.5 deniers (acrylic fibers I). The rate of deposition of the silicone on these fibers was 0.97 71..
- An acrylonitrile copolymer having the same composition as of the above mentioned nonshrinkable acrylic fibers was wet-spun in an ordinary manner.
- the obtained acrylic fiber tow of a monofilament fineness of 3 deniers was fed into a turbostapler, was secondarily stretched to 1.16 times as long at a hot plate temperature of 150C, was then mechanically crimped and was cut to make highly shrinkable acrylic fiber staples having a latent hot water shrinkage of 12.8 (acrylic fibers 2).
- the obtained mix-spun yarn was dipped in a mixed dyeing solution of a cationic dye and acid dye and was skein-dyed in one stage in one bath in an ordinary manner so that, at the same time, the latent shrinkability might be developed and a bulkiness might be imparted.
- Two of such mix-spun yarns were plyed and were fed into a weft knitting machine of 14 G, were knitted into a plain knit fabric, were then stretched by 4 7a in the longitudinal direction and were set by Hoffman-set (knit fabric 1).
- a knit fabric of a plain knit structure (knit fabric 2) was made under the same conditions as above mentioned except that nonshrinkable acrylic fibers having had only a cationic softening agent Zontes TA 460-15, produced by Matsumoto Oils and Fats Co., deposited on them without applying the silicone emulsion bath treatment recommended in the present invention were used instead of the above mentioned acrylic fibers 1.
- the stress reduction rate tan a at the time of the kinetic friction of each of these knit fabrics is shown in Table 1. From these results, it will be understood that the knit fabric 1 satisfying all the conditions proposed in the present invention has a permanent slippery touch very similar to that of animal hair fibers.
- the tan a of the knit fabric after being washed was measured by using a sample whose washing shrinkage had been measured.
- An acrylic fiber product having an animal hair-like hand comprising a heat-treated yarn or knit or woven fabric containing mix-spun (1) animal hair fibers, (2) nonshrinkable acrylic fibers having a monofilament fineness 50 to 100 of the average monofilament fineness of the animal hair fibers and having a silicone resin defined by the formula CH CH 3 l l l H CFO SiO flCH l CH, CH 5 age at least 3 higher than the latent shrinkage of the nonshrinkable acrylic fibers.
