Abstract:
A process for simultaneously texturizing a plurality of yarns including feeding a plurality of yarns separately through the inlet of a texturizing device to a cylindrical chamber, supplying a hot compressed fluid to the cylindrical chamber to advance the yarns therein, the hot compressed fluid escaping into an outer closed chamber, and maintaining the outer chamber at a pressure less than the feed pressure of the hot compressed fluid and greater than atmospheric pressure.
Abstract:
Stuffing material is manufactured from a web of heavily crimped synthetic filaments by passing the web twice through smooth surfaced rollers, the two rollers being driven at different peripheral speeds such that in the two passes opposite sides of the web make contact with the roller having the higher peripheral speed.
Abstract:
Polyester moulding materials which can be injection moulded on a technical scale to give products having good mechanical properties are obtained by having present in the polyesterification mixture, besides a terephthalic or mainly terephthalic acid component and a diol component, 0.05-3 moles percent, on the acid component, of a compound containing at least 3, preferably 3 or 4, ester-forming groups this may for example be a tri- or tetra-carboxylic acid, a triol or tetrol, or a hydroxy carboxylic acid containing in all 3 or more ester-forming groups.
Abstract:
Textile articles comprise continuous filament yarns (or staple fibers obtained therefrom) of polyethylene terephthalate or another thermoplastic material, in which the individual filaments are of alternately decreasing and increasing thickness, the thinnest zones having the highest crystallinity index and molecular orientation and vice versa, but all the zones having a certain index of crystallinity, each filament having a non-spiral three dimensional crimp and a high apparent volume. The yarns are made by partially stretching the initial yarn in a crack or figure promoting agent, and relaxing the stretched yarn in two or more stages, in at least the last of which it is heated, preferably with a high temperature-time gradient.
Abstract:
The heterogeneous acetylation of regenerated cellulose textile articles is carried out using acetic anhydride as the acetylating agents and an alkali metal acetate, especially potassium acetate, as catalyst at 100*-135* C., keeping the acetic anhydride content of the acetylation bath above 95 percent by weight, and also keeping the constituent filaments of the articles at constant length. The process is quick and thus suitable for continuous operation, and avoids mutual cohesion of the filaments as a result of softening or partial solution.
