Abstract (en)

A polyurethane urea fiber having enhanced chlorine resistance comprises at least 85% segmented polyurethane urea containing 0.05-10 wt.% of a finely divided hydrotalcite, coated with 0.2-15 wt.% a metal fatty acid salt. A polyurethane urea fiber (I) having enhanced chlorine resistance comprises at least 85% segmented polyurethane urea whereby the fiber contains 0.05-10 wt.% of a finely divided hydrotalcite, preferably of formula (1) or (2) and is characterized in that the hydrotalcite is coated with 0.2-15 wt.% a metal fatty acid salt.

Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a process for the production of fibers (I) by forming a 20-50 (25-45) wt.% of a long chain synthetic polymer comprising at least 85% segmented polyurethane in an organic solvent such as dimethylacetamide, dimethylformadide or dimethylsulfoxide and spinning by a dry or wet spinning process to form filaments whereby 0.05-10 (2-5) wt.% of hydrotalcite (with respect to the weight of fiber (I)), coated with 0.05-10, preferably 2-5 wt.% of a metal fatty acid salt ,is added to the spinning solution and is distributed within the filaments and/or is on the filament surfaces; and (2) textile goods, preferably cord, knitware or woven goods prepared using the fibers (I), preferably mixed with polyamide, polyamide, polyacrylate, wool, silk or cotton fibers.

Abstract (de)

Die Erfindung betrifft elastische Polyurethanharnstofffasern, die in wässrigen, chlorhaltigen Umgebungen, wie beispielsweise in Schwimmbädern für Badebekleidung eingesetzt werden können und ein Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung. Die Polyurethanharnstofffasern enthalten mit Metallfettsäuresalzen beschichtete Hydrotalcite.
