Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spandex containing a combination of additives and, more specifically, to spandex containing both an inorganic stabilizer and a polymeric hindered amine stabilizer.
  • United States Patent 2,999,839 discloses the use of poly (N,N-diethyl-2-aminoethyl methacrylate) , alone or in combination with specific inorganic additives, as an additive in spandex.
  • this additive is not particularly effective at preventing yellowing when the spandex is exposed to the chlorine agents present in swimming pools and laundries.
  • Various inorganic compounds such as zinc oxide and a mixture of huntite and hydromagnesite are disclosed as spandex additives in United States Patents 4,340,527 and 5,626,960, respectively. These additives offer chlorine resistance to spandex but may not be able to prevent yellowing of the spandex on exposure to nitrogen oxides or UV light.

  • spandex containing both poly (N,N-diethyl-2-aminoethyl methacrylate) and a mixture of huntite and hydromagnesite has high resistance to yellowing and high mechanical resistance to chlorine.
  • Spandex means a 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 .
  • Spandex is typically prepared by either melt- spinning a polyurethane or dry- or wet -spinning a polyurethane or polyurethaneurea solution either into a column filled with a hot inert gas such as air, nitrogen or steam or into an aqueous bath to remove the solvent followed by winding up the fiber.
  • the polyurethane is generally made by reacting a polymeric glycol with a diisocyanate to form a capped glycol, a mixture of isocyanate-terminated glycol and unreacted diisocyanate. If a polyurethane without urea moieties is desired, the capped glycol can be reacted with a diol chain extender and optionally a monofunctional chain terminator either in the melt or after being dissolved in a solvent. If a polyurethaneurea is desired, the capped glycol can be dissolved in a solvent before being reacted with a diamine chain extender and optional monofunctional chain terminator.
  • Polymeric glycols used to prepare polyurethanes for spandex include polyethers such as poly (tetramethylene- ether) glycol, poly (3 -methyl -1 , 5-pentamethyleneether) glycol, and poly (tetramethyleneether-co-2-methyltetra- methyleneether) glycol; polyesters such as the polycondensation products of diols such as ethylene glycol, 1,4 -butane diol, and 2 , 2-dimethyl-1 , 3 -propane diol with diacids such as adipic acid, succinic acid, dodecanedioic acid, and copoly ⁇ ners thereof; and polycarbonates such as poly (pentane-1 , 5-carbonate) diol and poly (hexane-1, 6-carbonate) diol.

  • the stabilizing composition can be introduced into the spandex of this invention by first preparing a slurry of the composition, and optionally other additives and/or a viscosity enhancer (for example some of the polyurethane from which the spandex is to be made) , in DMAc and then mixing the slurry into the spinning solution just before spinning. Separate slurries can be used for the various additives, but it is not necessary to do so. In order to obtain a uniformly mixed slurry with very finely divided particle sizes, the slurry is mixed at high shear, for example, by milling or otherwise grinding.
