Abstract:
There is disclosed a colored high-tenacity fiber of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene which is obtainable by spinning a solution of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and a dye for coloration to form solvent-containing filaments and drawing the solvent-containing filaments. The colored high-tenacity fiber of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has a tensile strength of at least 28 g/d and a tensile modulus of at least 700 g/d. The dye is substantially soluble in the solvent at the melting point of solvent-containing filaments which are obtained by spinning a solution of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and the dye is substantially uniformly dispersed in the core portion of the fiber. Also disclosed is a process for producing a colored high-tenacity fiber of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
Abstract:
The specification discloses a conjugate carpet face,yarn comprising trilobal or delta cross-section polyolefin filaments and a plurality of generally co-linear smaller polyamide fibrils embedded within the polyolefin filaments. This yarn has the stain resistant properties of polyolefin based yarns and the resiliency of polyamide based yarns.
Abstract:
A process for modifying the dyeability of polyamide polymers is disclosed, the process involving the addition of co-fed polyamide flake of the same type of polyamide as the base polyamide with the co-fed flake having a significant effect on the final dyeability. The additive flake comprises high- or low-amine-end polyamide flake which is mixed and melted with the base polyamide to adjust the total number of amine ends in the polymer, thereby controlling the polymer dyeability.
Abstract:
Shaped articles, such as fibers, formed of a polyamide formed by salt-blending the polyamide precursor salt with a cationic dye modifier, such as the dimethyl ester of 5-sulfoisophthalic acid, followed by polymerization, are rendered resistant to staining by acid dyes at ambient conditions either by adding an acid dye to the polymer melt or by dyeing with an acid dye from an acid dyebath at pH 2 to 7 and 60.degree. to 100.degree. C. so that the shaped article contains from at least 0.0048 and preferably at least 0.0096 wt % of an acid dyestuff. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the shaped articles are oriented, crimped, heat-set fibers for use as the facing in carpets.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for coloring water-insoluble thermoplastic plastics with dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## The dyestuffs are added to the melt of the thermoplastic plastic or to its precursors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for spin dyeing polymers of acrylonitrile or copolymers containing predominantly acrylonitrile, which process comprises adding to the spinning solution a monocationic dye salt of the formula ##STR1## wherein D is the group of atoms necessary to close a 5-membered heterocyclic ring containing two N-atoms, or to close a 6-membered heterocyclic ring, which rings may optionally contain fused benzene rings, or is the group of atoms necessary to close a benzthiazole ring, and Q is the radical of a carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic coupling component, and R.sub.1 is alkyl, aralkyl or aryl. The yellowish-red transparent fibres obtained have excellent fastness properties.
Abstract:
A polyurethane fiber and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The manufacturing method includes the following steps. A polyurethane material is provided. Then a melt extrusion process is carried out on the polyurethane material through a spinneret. The spinneret includes at least one spinneret orifice unit embedded in a spinneret body. Wherein, the spinneret orifice unit includes a plurality of spinneret sub-orifices, and each spinneret sub-orifice penetrates through the spinneret body. Each spinneret sub-orifice has a sub-orifice diameter ranging from 0.07 mm to 0.12 mm, and there is a sticking space between every two adjacent spinneret sub-orifices ranging from 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm. Then the polyurethane material passes through the spinneret sub-orifices and is sticked together to form the polyurethane fiber.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a liquid colored oil and a colored polyamide fiber. The liquid colored oil contains a colorant and a base oil agent. The base oil agent is a liquid at normal temperature and normal pressure, and a solubility parameter (SP) value thereof is 7.5 to 15.0. The colored polyamide fiber contains the aforementioned liquid colored oil. The liquid color oil can be stably added into polymers and dye them during the spinning process. The colored polyamide fiber has excellent spinning and dyeing properties.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing bulked continuous carpet filament from polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) comprises: (1) splitting the PTT stream extruded from the primary extruder into a number of polymer streams, each of the plurality of polymer streams having an associated spinning machine; (2) adding a colorant to each split polymer stream; (3) adding PET to the extruded polymer stream downstream of the primary extruder; (4) using one or more static mixing assemblies for each split polymer stream to substantially uniformly mix each split polymer stream and its respective colorant and PET; and (5) spinning each polymer stream with its substantially uniformly mixed colorant and any additives into BCF using the respective spinning machine.
