[0001] This invention relates to a manufacturing method of polyester fine denier multifilament,
polyester fine denier multifilament made from the same and polyester fine denier multifilament
yarns.
Related Art
[0002] Polyester fiber is mostly used among three major synthetic fiber owing to its good
mechanical features, dyeability and low cost. In the recent, demands in hand softness
and functionality is highly desired accompanied with application of fabrics in high
grade dress material, woven fabrics knitted or woven from fine denier of d.p.f.(denier
per filament) synthetic fiber such as polyester fiber and its fur-like fabrics. Manufacturing
process of polyester filament is approximately as follows: polycondensation reaction
of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol to form polyester chip or melt mass, after
melting, extrusion, measuring and throughput, then quenching, oil finishing and winding
up. In this process, the quenching effect of the polyester tow throughput after melt
extrusion is very important to physical property and uniformity of yarn.
[0003] The common quenching method presently available: cross flow quenching system (as
shown in figure 1). Radial out-to-in flow quenching system (as shown in figure 2).
Radial in-to-out flow quenching system (as shown in figure 3). Respectively explained
as follows: in cross flow quenching system, after throughput from spinneret, the filament
tow is cooled one-side by quenching air; in radial out-to-in flow quenching system,
after throughput from spinneret, the filament tow passing the internal part of quenching
air tube, is in-to-out cooled by quenching wind along circumference of air tube; in
radial in-to-out flow quenching system, after throughput from spinneret, the filament
tow passing the external part of quenching air tube, is in-to-out cooled by quenching
wind along circumference of air tube.
[0004] Presently among above major blowing modes, the cross flow quenching system is mostly
used, the radial out-to-in flow quenching system and radial in-to-out flow quenching
system are frequently applied in staple, and partly used in industrial yarn production.
Detailed description of the invention
[0005] polyester fine denier multifilament yarns of d.p.f. below 0.3 d is made into cloth
and fabric to reach the purpose of vapor permeation, water proof and pilling resistance
to exhibit the outstanding effect. There is a popularly adopted method to manufacture
said filaments of d.p.f. less than 0.3 , which use two-component melt spinning method,
to manufacture filament of higher denier previously, then subject it to mechanical
splitting or chemical splitting to form micro-fiber of d.p.f. less than 0.3. However,
beside the equipment invested in the above mentioned method to manufacture filament
tow of higher denier first by two-component conjugate spinning, then texturing to
treat these filament tow is very expensive, the process used in the latter portion
in splitting finish is very complicated due to chemical reduction or mechanical splitting,
and quality control for said filaments is uneasy. This is not suitable for mass production.
[0006] There are two existing methods to reduce d.p.f. of single component polymer can be
adopted, one is maintaining total throughput of polyester melt in constant amount
and increasing the number of orifice on spinneret, and the other is maintaining total
the number of orifice on spinneret and reducing total throughput of polyester melt.
But for the spinning stage of the former method, the amount of spinneret orifices
will be increased due to the narrower degree of d.p.f. For the quenching and blowing
mode of polyester filament melt spinning quenching and blowing, cross flow quenching
system is mainly adopted and supported with less out-to-in flow quenching system,
of course, the quenching and blowing mode for melt spinning of existing polyester
fine denier multifilament also mainly use these two modes, however, if cooled with
the quenching unit of cross flow quenching system, it will lead to large quenching
difference between the filament tow with single face exposed to the quenching air
near the wind front and the filament tow far away from wind front. Uneven quenching
of filament tow, especially quenching difference increased in case of increasing the
number of spinneret orifices due to the increase of the number of orifices in unit
area of spinneret( orifice density), it will lead to insufficient quenching and fail
to obtain the required fine denier and uniformity. Furthermore, it will be more serious
for the case of d.p.f. less than 0.3 denier. The other way aims to reduce the total
throughput of polyester melt, but it usually decreases output and requires the mode
of conjugate spinning, and often creates dyeing problem due to the variance of physical
property in individual yarn of the conjugate yarn.
[0007] For radial out-to-in flow quenching system, insufficient quenching of filament tow
due to difficult regulation of quenching air, slow quenching air speed will lead to
high uster half inert value( u%
1/2 inert), even more seriously, the failure of smooth spinning due to the mutual adhesion
among monofilament; The unstable filament tow, mutual collision of monofilament and
bad process will occur due to over high quenching air speed, mutual interference in
quenching air in reversed blowing direction ; Furthermore, the filament tow is uneasy
to enter into narrow quenching air tube, and bad operability also adverse to the production
of polyester fine denier multifilament.
[0008] How to reduce d.p.f.( denier per filament) and increase stable production without
sacrificing output, has become the subject matter that the polyester fine denier multifilament
manufacturer anxious for, these are disclosed by such as United States patent No.
5,288,553, 5,145,623,5,407,621 and 5,250,245 concerning the spinning conditions how
to select polyester chip of particular I.V. choosing the orifice diameter and orifice
length of spinneret, and limiting the retention time of polyester melt in the pipeline
on the production of polyester fine denier multifilament of d.p.f. 0.2-0.8. But, these
United States patents did not disclose what quenching method used, and with the length
of protective delay shroud from 2 cm to (12 × (d.p.f.)
1/2) cm, the expected uster half inert value( u%
1/2 inert) less than 0.3 % and variation of thermal stress in spindles less than 2 %
can not be achieved due to overlong protective delay shroud besides increasing the
orifice density (orifice/cm
2).
[0009] As to another Japanese Patent Laid-Open Application No.1980-132708, a manufacturing
method for d.p.f, less than 0.3 denier of polyester, polyamide, polyolefin filament
is disclosed by controlling the melt viscosity less than 950 poises when spun, the
temperature beneath the spinneret 1∼3 cm is kept at less than 200°C, the quenching
air is blown within 10 cm beneath the spinneret in the way of forming an angle 5°
to 85° with horizontal line onto the filament tow. But this method can not spin stably
due to the spinneret surface is apt to be affected by the quenching air to cause uneven
temperature.
[0010] Radial out-to-in flow quenching system, as stated in United States patent No. 5,536,157
and 5,866,055, is designed to produce polyester industrial yarn with d.p.f. 1.1 to
22.2d, and fails to disclose the manufacturing process for polyester fine denier multifilament.
[0011] By carefully reviewing previous technologies, processing conditions and quenching
units in the polyester filament manufacturing, the inventor discovers that polyester
polymer with specific intrinsic viscosity and melting point, is uniformly throughput
from spinneret with a multi-layer annularly arranged orifices ( the diameter difference
of outermost layer orifice and the innermost orifice is set at≦ 20mm), quenched by
cylindrical quenching air tube with quenching air in-to-out radial blowing, wound
and packaged into filament package to accomplish this invention. Uster half inert
value( u%
1/2 inert) less than 0.3 % and variation of thermal stress in spindles less than 2 %
of polyester fine denier multifilament in this invention can be achieved by increasing
the number in unit spinneret area set as 7-21 orifices per square centimeter. After
draw texturing process, the polyester fine denier multifilament obtained has excellent
dyeability and no dyeing streak in woven fabric.
Summary of the invention
[0012] It is an object of this invention to provide a manufacturing method for polyester
fine denier multifilament, which is heating polyester polymer of inherent viscosity(
IV) 0.5 ∼ 0.7 and melting point of 245 ∼ 265°C to melt, filter and extruding in constant
amount to obtain polyester fine denier multifilament, characterized in comprising
the following steps:
a. uniformly spinning said constant amount extruded polyester melt through a multi-layer
annularly arranged spinneret orifices (as shown in Fig. 5) to obtain the filament
tow, wherein the diameter of outermost layer orifice is set as D2 mm, and the diameter of inmost layer orifice is set as D1 mm ;
b. passing said spun filament tow under spinneret through a protective delay shroud
of length Ls mm and a cylindrical quenching air tube of length Lq mm and diameter of Do mm which offers the radial outer-flow quenching air at wind
speed of 0.2- 0.6 meter / second to said filament tow from the outer side of said
cylindrical quenching air tube to uniformly cooled to below glass transition point
(Tg) of said polyester polymer for bundling;
c. said D2, D1, D0, Ls, Lq satisfying the following requirements:
(i) D2-D1≦20 (mm)
(ii) 12≦D1-D0≦33 (mm)
(iii) 2≦Ls≦20 (mm)
(iv) 15≦Lq≦40(cm)
d. winding said filament tow at the speed of 1800 to 4000 meter / minute.
[0013] The other object of this invention is to provide a radial out-to-in flow quenching
system of enabling uniform quenching for filament tow, to produce polyester fine denier
multifilament. The length of protective delay shroud below spinneret is preferably
set at 2 to 20mm, when the length of protective delay shroud is less than 2 mm, the
quenching air will influence surface temperature of spinneret, deteriorate production
status, and the polyester fine denier multifilament obtained after draw texturing
process has poor dyeability and dyeing streak in woven fabric; when the length of
protective delay shroud is over 20 mm, the uster half inert value (u%
1/2inert) of polyester fine denier multifilament becomes larger, even if increasing quenching
air speed, it fails to meet the requirement for polyester fine denier multifilament
with expected uster half inert value( u%
1/2inert) less than 0.3%, and the finished fabric manufactured from the polyester fine
denier multifilament after draw texturing process, has poor dyeability itself, dyeing
streak in woven fabric.
[0014] For the layout of the spinneret orifices adopted in this invention (as shown in Fig.
5) , the diameter difference of outermost layer orifice and the innermost layer orifice
is set less than 20 mm; If the diameter difference of outermost layer orifice and
the innermost layer orifice is greater than 20 mm, it will lead to larger quenching
air difference between the inner and external filament tow, and large difference in
physical property among monofilament inside filament tow, and fabric in excellent
dyeability can not be achieved. The distance between the diameter of innermost orifice
layout and the diameter of quenching air tube is at least 12 and less than 33 mm.
When the distance between the diameter of innermost orifice layout and the diameter
of quenching air tube is less than 12 mm, normal spinning fails due to easy touch
with quenching air tube and broken; While the distance between the diameter of innermost
orifice layout and the diameter of quenching air tube is greater than 33 mm, it will
reduce quenching efficiency in quenching air tube, and breakage in filament due to
insufficient quenching at outermost layer diameter of spinneret.
[0015] To obtain appropriate quenching for filament tow, the quenching air tube used in
this invention is preferably set as 15 to 40 cm. when the length of quenching air
tube is less than 15cm, the filament tow will be adhered and broken due to insufficient
quenching; when the length of quenching air tube is greater than 40cm, turbulent flow
will occur and deteriorate uster half inert value (u%
1/2inert); The quenching air tube used in this invention is a cylindrical shape, can
be manufactured by multilayer cellulose or multilayer wire netting or filter sintered
from metal or ceramic, or multilayer perforated plate ; The filament tow can be obtained
by blowing quenching air uniformly out in a way of radial in-to-out from fine holes
of said quenching air tube. The velocity of quenching air in this invention is preferably
set as 0.2 m/sec to 0.6 cm/sec. when the velocity of quenching air is less than 0.2
m/min, the filament tow will be adhered and broken due to insufficient quenching,
also accompanied by greater uster half inert value (u%
1/2inert). When the velocity of quenching air is greater than 0.6 cm/sec, it fails to
reduce the uster half inert value and do no evident improvement on uster half inert
value, causing super quenching to break the filament tow.
[0016] The orifice density of spinneret layout (orifice density) is set as 7-21 orifices
per square centimeter. The orifice density( as shown in figure 5 ),is defined as the
number of throughput orifices between D
2 ( the diameter of outermost layer orifice ) and D
1 (the diameter of inmost layer orifice) divided by area between D
2 and D
1, i.e. the number of orifices (between D
2 and D
1) ×4/π ×( D
22 - D
12).
[0017] The section of above mentioned spinneret orifice can be selected from one or more
than one of the group of circular, hollow, Y type, - shape type, square shape, triangular
shape, hexagonal shape, cross shape and C shape in the manufacturing method for polyester
fine denier multifilament of this invention.
[0018] Economic benefit is reduced due to the total throughput have to be reduced in case
of orifice density less than 7 holes per square centimeter in order to satisfy the
requirement for d.p.f. 0.3∼2.0 in this invention as well as conjugate spinning; Stable
spinning fails due to large uster half inert value (u%
1/2inert), quenching difference among monofilament caused by compact layout among monofilament
in case of orifice density exceeding 21 orifices per square centimeter.
[0019] The inherent viscosity (IV) of polyester chip used in this invention is between 0.5
to 0.7, after melting, the polyester chip is extruded from spinneret to spin to form
filament, then is subject to drawing, quenching, oil finishing and winding to get
the polyester fine denier multifilament. The polyester fine denier multifilament produced
has elongation at break between100% to 160%, d.p.f. of 0.3 to 2.0, and uster half
inert value (u%
1/2inert) less than 0.3%; variation of thermal stress in spindles less than 2%. Consequently,
polyester fine denier multifilament yarn with excellent dyeability and d.p.f. of 0.2
to 1.0 can be achieved after draw texturing such as draw twisting, air twisting or
one stage direct spin drawing process (spin draw).
