Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH01213406A] PURPOSE: To obtain very fine fibers of a thermoplastic polymer by introducing the polymer melt into the nozzle head under a specific preliminary pressure, and discharging the resultant fibers by a high-speed gas stream from the exit holes while being deflected in the axial direction at a specific radial distance. CONSTITUTION: This method introduces the polymer melt into the rotating nozzle head 6 under a preliminary pressure of 1 to 200 bar, and discharges the resultant fibers in the radial direction through small exit holes at an angle of 45 to 90 deg. to the rotating axis. The fibers are deflected in the axial direction by deflecting gas streams 7 and 8 having the axial component at a radial distance of 10 to 200 mm from the exit holes, and are simultaneously drawn and stretched into the very fine fibers of 0.1 to 10 μm in diameter and finite length.
