Definitions
- This invention relates to spandex having low tackiness and, more particularly, to spandex having dispersed therein effective amounts of an anti-tack additive.
- Spandex is known to be tacky. This is especially important in wound packages of dry-spun spandex, where the pressure can be very high due to "package relaxation", which is the recovery of the filament from the stretch it experiences during spinning. The high pressure can make it especially difficult to remove and use filament near the core of the package, where conditions are most extreme. Time and temperature contribute to tackiness, so that wound packages of spandex that have been stored, for example for months, experience significantly more core waste than freshly spun and wound packages . Reducing the tackiness and the resulting waste would improve the economics of spandex filament production. Steps taken to reduce tack, however, should not interfere with the continuity of the dry-spinning process by which spandex is made.
- United States Patent Number 4,296,174 discloses the incorporation of metal salts of fatty acids such as calcium stearate into dry-spun spandex to reduce the tackiness of the spandex.
- metal salts of fatty acids such as calcium stearate
- Such additives are problematic in the dry-spinning process, creating deposits within the spinneret capillaries and plugging filters in the polymer solution lines. These effects are detrimental to spinning continuity, i.e. when the capillaries or filters become plugged, the continuous filament production is interrupted and the process must be stopped to clean out the plugging deposits or replace the plugged parts with clean ones.
- An anti-tack additive with a combination of good dry- spinning processibility and anti-tack characteristics is still desired.
- JP '259 discloses a method for producing thermoplastic polyurethane elastic nonwoven fabric by melt-extruding and melt-blowing thermoplastic polyurethane which has been blended with 0.1-2.0 wt % of a compound represented by the formula:
- thermoplastic resin is melt-spun and simultaneously powerfully impacted by a high- temperature, high-speed gas discharged from adjoining gas jets which blasts apart the melt-spun fibers into ultrafine fibers which are then collected on a moving plate thereby giving a nonwoven sheet .
- the sheet can be unrolled after having been rolled up.
- JP '259 teaches the undesirability of polyurethane elastic fiber production by dry spinning, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 52-81,177. An anti-tack additive for dry-spun polyurethane fiber is still desired.

- spandex means a dry-spun, manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain synthetic elastomer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane. Polyurethaneureas are a sub-class of such polyurethanes . Such spandex can be typically wound up on a cylindrical core, or tube, to form a supply package .
- the polymers used to make the spandex of this invention can be generally prepared by capping a macromolecular glycol with a diisocyanate, dissolving the resulting capped glycol in a suitable solvent, and chain extending the capped glycol with a diamine, a diol or an aminoalcohol .
- Small amounts of monofunctional chain terminators such as dialkylamines can be added to control the molecular weight of the polymer.

- the additive is ethylene bis- oleylamide, which is preferred;
- the solution having the anti-tack additive dispersed therein is dry-spun to form the spandex of the invention.
- Dry-spinning is the process of forcing a polymer solution through spinneret orifices into a shaft to form a filament. Heated inert gas is passed through the chamber, evaporating the solvent from the filament as the filament passes through the shaft. The resulting spandex can then be wound on a cylindrical core to form a spandex supply package .

- the spandex can be of any decitex. Fine decitex filaments (below about 132 decitex and especially below about 44 decitex) are particularly susceptible to process disruptions due to their low diameter and the tenuous, low viscosity nature of the hot spinning solution as it exits from the spinneret orifice. Under such circumstances, the dry-spinning continuity is readily affected by filter blinding and spinneret deposits in the small-diameter spinneret holes that are used. Therefore, the present invention is particularly advantageous in the manufacture of fine decitex spandex.
- the spandex of the present invention can be made with excellent dry-spinning continuity, relatively high levels of the anti-tack additive can be used.
- the useful amount of the anti-tack additive in the present spandex is in the range of 0.1% to 5.0%, preferably 0.4% to 2.0%, expressed as a weight percent based on the weight of the fiber. Below 0.1 wt%, there is little effect on the tackiness of the spandex, and above 5.0 wt%, the mechanical properties of the spandex are adversely affected.

- Polymer for the dry-spun spandex in Examples 4 and 5 was made by capping an 1800 molecular weight polytetramethyleneether glycol with MDI at a capping ratio of about 1.7.
- the resulting capped glycol was chain extended in DMAc solvent with a mixture of EDA and MPMD (90/10 mole ratio) and terminated with DEA.
- the polymer solution was mixed with a slurry to form a base solution.

- a 4.5% by weight of a finish comprising 94 wt% of the same silicone oil and 4 wt% magnesium stearate (average particle size 5 microns) was applied by a conventional finish roll to the 44 decitex spandex before it was wound onto 83 mm (outer diameter) tubes to form 410 g (fiber weight) packages having a final outer diameter of 150 mm.
- the stretch applied to the spandex during winding was in the range of about 25% to 29%.
- the additive slurries were milled in a 1.5-liter capacity Premier Mill (Premier Mill Corp., Reading, PA) model HM1.5VSD, operated at 75% loading of 0.8 mm zirconia beads.
- the shaft spacer tip velocity was about 60 meters per minute and the slurry flow rate was 40 g/min.
- the slurries were generally milled in one pass.
- the slurry fluid in each case was DMAc.
- the same polyurethaneurea was added as that into which the additive was to be mixed.
- the slurry can be added into the polymer stream by itself or in combination with other, standard, additives or it can be added just prior to the spinning operation provided that there is sufficient mixing.
- controls are the samples with no further additive beyond those mixed into the base solution.

- the OETOT is reported in grams after oven-aging, and the core OETOT of the spandex of this invention is reported as a percent of the core OETOT of the control, which had no anti-tack additive.
- Low OETOT compared to the control is desirable because it indicates that less tension (i.e. a smaller tensile load) is needed to unwind the spandex indicating that the spandex is less tacky.
- the residual DMAc in the dry-spun spandex was in the range of 0.14 to 0.20 weight percent.
- the anti-tack additive in this Example was EBS (Witco Chemical, EBS-Powdered Metal Ultra Fine) .

- Magnesium stearate (median particle size 4.3 microns, Mallinckrodt Chemical Co.) was micronized to a particle size in the range of 0.2 to 9 microns. Micronizing breaks up the larger aggregates of magnesium stearate, thus shifting the distribution toward smaller particles.
- the slurry was passed twice through the Premier Mill at a rate of 50 g/min, using an 85% loading of 0.8 mm-1.0 mm zirconium silicate beads and a shaft spacer tip velocity of 60 meters per minute. The temperature was kept below 50°C to prevent the magnesium stearate from softening. After milling, the slurry was passed through a 40 micron absolute wire mesh filter. The median particle size of the resulting magnesium stearate was about 2 microns.
- the residual DMAc in the spandex was in the range of 0.4 to 0.6 percent , based on weight of fiber.
- the residual DMAc was in the range of 0.4 to 0.6 weight percent, based on fiber.
- EXAMPLE 6 This Example illustrates the spinning continuity when dry-spinning polymer solutions containing an anti-tack additive of the present invention compared to the spinning continuity when dry- spinning polymer solutions containing an anti-tack additive not of this invention.
- a test system was used which comprised (a) a solution pump, (b) a candle filter with a 30-micron Dynalloy sintered metal filter element (Memtec America, Deland, FL) , (c) a metering pump, and (d) a spinneret plate having 0.03 cm (12 mil) diameter spinneret orifices.
