摘要:
A process for producing a highly oriented, partially drawn, untwisted, compact poly(.epsilon.-caproamide) yarn at windup speeds of from 3500 to 6000 meters per minute is disclosed. The process features the steps of overfeeding the yarn, by from 0.5 to 2.0 percent, to entangling means, and overfeeding the shrinking yarn to the winder. The yarn is "drawn" in the quench stack. Draw-twisting is omitted by this process; yarn so produced performs as well as conventional, draw-twisted yarn in end use applications, e.g., knitting and weaving.
摘要:
Enhanced knitting performance for fine denier polyamide apparel yarn is obtaining by applying to the yarn a finish composition comprising(a) an ester selected from the group consisting of n-butyl stearate, iso-butyl stearate and combinations thereof, said ester being present in an effective amount to provide enhanced knitting performance for said yarn;(b) a polyethylene glycol ester;(c) a polyethylene glycol ether;(d) a polyethylene glycol glyceride;(e) an alkyl phosphate; and(f) a sulfonated ester.
