Abstract:
The antistatic properties of hydrophobic synthetic fibers are improved by treatment with an aqueous mixture containing at least one copolymer prepared by copolymerization of a mixture of (I) monoester selected from alkoxy-polyalkyleneglycol-acrylates or alkoxy-polyalkylene-glycol-methacrylates and (II) diester selected from diacrylates and dimethacrylates of polyols. An improvement in the treatment is made by addition of (III) acrylonitrile or vinyl esters of alkyl-alcohols with more than 8 carbon atoms to the copolymerization mixture in order to increase the durability of the antistatic properties of the fibers as a result of laundering and dry cleaning, and to improve the handling qualities.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a covered elastic yarn with an elastic thread as a core yarn, and a continuous thermoplastic multifilament thread as a sheath yarn, wherein the respective filaments forming said covered elastic yarn are respectively tangled with each other to retain flux form, and at the same time to form the sheath-core system, and said sheath yarn wraps the outer periphery of said core yarn but is reversed irregularly and intermittently in said direction, and said sheath yarn and said core yarn are substantially twistless.
