Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、適度な熱処理により、伸縮性やふくらみに優れた織編物を得ることのできる伸長弾性性能をもつ紡績糸に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ポリエステル繊維は、力学的性質、熱安定性、ウォッシャブル性等に優れているために、現在では衣料用、産業資材用、インテリア用など極めて広い分野に使用されている。その中で、スポーツ衣料等の織編物等には機能性およびフィット性等の要求から伸縮性および弾性回復性に富んだ繊維が求められている。
【0003】
従来より、伸縮性を付与する方法として、潜在捲縮能を有するポリエステル複合繊維によるものが知られている。例えば、特開平3−161519号公報には、イソフタル酸による共重合率が7モル%以上15モル%以下の共重合ポリエステルを使用した複合繊維が開示されている。しかし、このようなイソフタル酸1成分だけを共重合したポリエステルでは、伸長後の弾性回復がまだ不足しており潜在捲縮能が不十分である。
【0004】
また、特開平7−150429号公報にはビスフェノールAのエチレンオキシド付加物が2〜7モル%とイソフタル酸が5〜13モル%の共重合ポリエステルを使用した複合繊維が開示されているが、融点が低く結晶性に乏しいことからチップの乾燥時にチップ同士が融着することや、熱処理時の収縮率の温度依存性が大きいため、不織布や織編物にしたとき、収縮率をコントロールしにくい。また、カーディング工程等、繊維が引っ張られる工程でコイルスプリング状の立体的なスパイラル捲縮がある程度発現するために繊維が完全には開繊され難くなり、紡績糸にしたときに糸中に繊維の固まった太い部分、いわゆるネップができやすい等の問題があることが分かった。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の欠点を解決し、紡績性良好であり、ネップが少なく、伸長弾性性能の優れた紡績糸を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記の課題を解決するもので、その要旨は次の通りである。
ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキシド付加物とイソフタル酸とを下記式(1)〜(3)を満足するように共重合したエチレンテレフタレート単位主体の共重合ポリエステルPと、実質的にエチレンテレフタレート単位よりなるポリエステルQとが偏心的に接合した複合繊維であって、170℃における無荷重下熱処理で50個/25mm以上のスパイラル捲縮を発現する潜在捲縮能を有し、かつ8〜18個/25mmの機械捲縮を付与した複合繊維を60重量%以上含有して構成された紡績糸であり、沸騰水による15分間の熱処理時の収縮率が10%以下であり、かつ沸騰水による15分間の熱処理によって伸長率10%以上、弾性率80%以上の伸長弾性性能を発現することを特徴とする潜在捲縮繊維を含有する紡績糸。
【0007】
1≦MA≦5 (1)
1≦MB≦4.5 (2)
3≦(MA+MB)≦9 (3)
但し、式中、MAは共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレート中の全グリコール成分に対するビスフェノールAのエチレンオキシド付加物のモル%を示し、MBは共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレート中の全酸成分に対するイソフタル酸のモル%を示す。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。
本発明の紡績糸は、共重合ポリエステルPとポリエステルQとが偏心的に接合した複合繊維を含有している。共重合ポリエステルPは、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキシド付加物(以下、BA−EOと略す。)とイソフタル酸(以下、IPAと略す。)を用いて改質されたポリエチレンテレフタレート系共重合ポリエステルであり、ポリエステルQは、ポリエチレンテレフタレートである。ポリエステルPおよびQには、本発明の目的効果を損なわない範囲内で、他の共重合成分を含んでいてもよい。
【0009】
共重合ポリエステルPにおけるBA−EOの共重合割合(MA)は1〜5モル%とすることが必要である。BA−EOの共重合割合が1モル%未満であると、収縮特性が不十分となり、紡績糸にした場合、その伸長率、弾性回復率が小さく十分な伸長弾性機能が得られない。
一方、5モル%を超えると、ポリマーの融点が低下したり、繊維の強力低下が著しいため、紡績糸用途には適さなくなる。
【0010】
また、IPAの共重合割合(MB)は1〜4.5モル%とすることが必要であり、好ましくは2〜4モル%が良い。IPAの共重合割合が1モル%未満であると、実質的に大きな捲縮が得られず、一方、4.5モル%を超えると、収縮特性が飽和するばかりか、コストアップになる。
【0011】
さらに、BA−EOとIPAの共重合量の割合の合計(MA+MB)が3〜9モル%であることが必要である。この割合が3モル%未満であると、収縮特性が不十分となり、紡績糸にした場合、その伸長率、弾性回復率が小さく十分な伸縮機能が得られない。一方、9モル%を超えると、ポリマーチップの乾燥時に融着したり、製糸後の延伸糸の収縮特性に経時変化が生じたりして好ましくない。
ポリエステルPおよびポリエステルQの極限粘度は、それぞれ0.55〜0.80および0.5〜0.75程度であればよい。ポリエステルPおよびQには、難燃剤、抗菌剤、セラミックス等種々の特性付与剤や添加物を任意に配合することができる。
【0012】
共重合ポリエステルPとポリエステルQとが偏心的に接合した複合繊維の他の紡糸条件は、従来のポリエステル複合繊維の紡糸条件で紡糸することができる。複合形態は特に限定されないが、サイドバイサイドが好ましい。
【0013】
また、この複合繊維は、170℃における自由収縮熱処理で50個/25mm以上のスパイラル捲縮を発現する潜在捲縮能を有することが必要である。伸縮性を有する織編物を得るためには、捲縮を発現させた時、織編物を構成する繊維が30個/25mm以上、好ましくは40個/25mm以上のスパイラル捲縮を有するようにすることが必要で、そのためには原綿状態で50個/25mm以上のスパイラル捲縮を発現する能力を有することが必要である。
発現捲縮数が50個/25mm未満の場合では、織編物の拘束に勝る収縮力が得られず、十分な伸縮性を有する織編物が得られないため好ましくない。
【0014】
また、梳綿工程でネップや未開繊部の発生しない原綿とすることが必要である。一般にネップや未開繊部の発生は、捲縮数、捲縮形態と密接な関係にある。このため本発明の紡績糸には、8〜18個/25mmの機械捲縮を付与した複合繊維を用いる。付与した機械捲縮数が8個/25mm未満であると、未開繊部が発生しやすく、18個/25mmを超えるとネップが発生しやすい。機械捲縮を付与する方法としては、スタッフィングボックス式、加熱ギヤ式等が採用できるが短繊維の製造には、一般にスタッフィングボックス式が採用される。
【0015】
また、梳綿工程以前でスパイラル捲縮を発現させた場合、ネップが発生しやすく、ウエブの均整度が悪くなるほか、ウエブの素抜けが発生しやすい。したがって、50個/25mm以上のスパイラル捲縮発現能を有する潜在捲縮性複合繊維であっても、紡績工程終了まではスパイラル捲縮を発現させずに、8〜18個/25mmの機械捲縮を付与しておくことが必要である。
【0016】
本発明の紡績糸は、伸縮性を充分に発揮させるために、上記複合繊維を60重量%以上含有することが必要である。上記複合繊維が60重量%に満たない場合、撚による集束抵抗で捲縮発現が抑制され、伸縮性の良好な紡績糸が得られない。また、上記複合繊維以外の繊維としては、通常のPETからなる綿を用いればよく、その割合は40%以下であり、5〜25%であるのが好ましい。
【0017】
一方、本発明の紡績糸は、沸騰水による15分間の熱処理によって伸長率10%以上、弾性率80%以上の伸長弾性性能を発現するものである。伸長率が10%に満たない場合、織物用としては織組織が密であるために充分な伸縮性を有する織物とならない。弾性率は寸法安定性の面から80%以上が必要である。伸長弾性性能を満足させるためには、沸騰水による15分間の熱処理時の収縮率が10%以下であるのが望ましい。この収縮率が10%を超えた紡績糸の場合には、織編物に加工したのち、熱処理を施した時に、織編物が収縮のため硬くなり、また伸長弾性性能も収縮による紡績糸繊維間の拘束が大きくなるため、阻害されてしまう可能性がある。
【0018】
本発明の紡績糸は、伸長弾性性能を発現させるための熱処理を行った後織編加工してもよく、紡績糸の状態で熱処理することなく、織編物にした後熱処理し、伸縮性をもたすことも可能である。
本発明の紡績糸の熱処理としては、どの様な熱処理も可能であり、加熱手段として、沸水、蒸気、熱風、高周波加熱等があるが、織編加工後の仕上加工工程で熱処理をするのがコストの点でより有利である。また、当然のことながら熱処理は、弛緩状態で行うのが伸長弾性性能を充分に発揮させるために好ましい。
本発明の紡績糸は、一般に用いられている紡績工程にて容易に製造可能である。
【0019】
【作用】
本発明の繊維が良好な潜在捲縮能を示す理由は明かではないが、共重合ポリエステルPのBA−EOとIPAの共重合成分が結晶性を阻害することによるものと推察している。
また、本発明の紡績糸は、潜在捲縮繊維であるため、梳綿工程でネップや未解織部を発生することがなく、織編物とした後に、弛緩熱処理することによりスパイラル捲縮を発現し、高伸縮性、高弾性回復性を有する織編物を与えるものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a spun yarn having stretch elastic performance that can obtain a woven or knitted fabric excellent in stretchability and swelling by appropriate heat treatment.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Polyester fibers are excellent in mechanical properties, thermal stability, washability, and the like, and are currently used in a wide variety of fields such as clothing, industrial materials, and interiors. Among them, fibers rich in stretchability and elastic recovery are required for woven and knitted fabrics such as sports apparel because of demands for functionality and fit.
[0003]
Conventionally, as a method for imparting stretchability, a method using a polyester composite fiber having latent crimping ability is known. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-161519 discloses a composite fiber using a copolymerized polyester having a copolymerization rate of 7 mol% or more and 15 mol% or less with isophthalic acid. However, a polyester obtained by copolymerizing only one component of isophthalic acid still lacks elastic recovery after stretching and has insufficient latent crimping ability.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-150429 discloses a composite fiber using a copolymerized polyester containing 2 to 7 mol% of an ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A and 5 to 13 mol% of isophthalic acid. Since it is low and poor in crystallinity, it is difficult to control the shrinkage rate when it is made into a nonwoven fabric or a woven or knitted fabric because the chips are fused together when drying the chips and the temperature dependence of the shrinkage rate during heat treatment is large. In addition, a coil spring-like three-dimensional spiral crimp appears to some extent in the process of pulling the fiber, such as the carding process, so that the fiber is not completely opened, and the fiber in the yarn becomes a spun yarn. It has been found that there are problems such as thickened thick parts, so-called nep.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a spun yarn that solves the above-described drawbacks, has good spinnability, has little nep, and has excellent stretch elastic performance.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the gist thereof is as follows.
A copolymer polyester P mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate units obtained by copolymerizing ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A and isophthalic acid so as to satisfy the following formulas (1) to (3); Is a conjugate fiber that is eccentrically bonded, has a potential crimping capacity of 50/25 mm or more when subjected to heat treatment under no load at 170 ° C., and has a mechanical crimp of 8-18 / 25 mm. A spun yarn composed of 60% by weight or more of a composite fiber to which shrinkage has been imparted, has a shrinkage rate of 10% or less during heat treatment for 15 minutes with boiling water , and stretched by heat treatment for 15 minutes with boiling water A spun yarn containing latently crimped fibers characterized by exhibiting stretch elastic performance with a modulus of 10% or more and an elastic modulus of 80% or more.
[0007]
1 ≦ MA ≦ 5 (1)
1 ≦ MB ≦ 4.5 (2)
3 ≦ (MA + MB) ≦ 9 (3)
In the formula, MA represents mol% of the ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A with respect to all glycol components in the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate, and MB represents mol% of isophthalic acid with respect to all acid components in the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The spun yarn of the present invention contains a composite fiber in which a copolyester P and a polyester Q are eccentrically bonded. Copolyester P is a polyethylene terephthalate copolymer polyester modified with bisphenol A ethylene oxide adduct (hereinafter abbreviated as BA-EO) and isophthalic acid (hereinafter abbreviated as IPA). Q is polyethylene terephthalate. Polyesters P and Q may contain other copolymerization components as long as the object and effects of the present invention are not impaired.
[0009]
The copolymerization ratio (MA) of BA-EO in the copolymerized polyester P needs to be 1 to 5 mol%. When the copolymerization ratio of BA-EO is less than 1 mol%, the shrinkage properties are insufficient, and when a spun yarn is used, its elongation rate and elastic recovery rate are small, and a sufficient stretch elastic function cannot be obtained.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 5 mol%, the melting point of the polymer is lowered or the strength of the fiber is significantly lowered, so that it is not suitable for use as a spun yarn.
[0010]
The copolymerization ratio (MB) of IPA needs to be 1 to 4.5 mol%, preferably 2 to 4 mol%. If the copolymerization ratio of IPA is less than 1 mol%, substantially large crimps cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 4.5 mol%, not only the shrinkage property is saturated but also the cost increases.
[0011]
Furthermore, it is necessary that the total ratio (MA + MB) of the copolymerization amount of BA-EO and IPA is 3 to 9 mol%. When this ratio is less than 3 mol%, the shrinkage properties are insufficient, and when a spun yarn is used, its elongation rate and elastic recovery rate are small, and a sufficient stretch function cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it exceeds 9 mol%, it is not preferable because the polymer chip is fused at the time of drying, or the shrinkage characteristics of the drawn yarn after yarn formation change over time.
The intrinsic viscosity of polyester P and polyester Q may be about 0.55 to 0.80 and about 0.5 to 0.75, respectively. Polyesters P and Q can be arbitrarily mixed with various property-imparting agents and additives such as flame retardants, antibacterial agents, and ceramics.
[0012]
The other spinning conditions of the composite fiber in which the copolyester P and the polyester Q are eccentrically bonded can be spun under the spinning conditions of the conventional polyester composite fiber. The composite form is not particularly limited, but side-by-side is preferable.
[0013]
In addition, the composite fiber needs to have a potential crimping ability to develop 50/25 mm or more spiral crimps by free shrink heat treatment at 170 ° C. In order to obtain a woven or knitted fabric having elasticity, when crimps are developed, the fibers constituting the woven or knitted fabric should have a spiral crimp of 30 pieces / 25 mm or more, preferably 40 pieces / 25 mm or more. For this purpose, it is necessary to have the ability to develop spiral crimps of 50 pieces / 25 mm or more in the raw cotton state.
When the number of expressed crimps is less than 50 pieces / 25 mm, it is not preferable because a shrinkage force superior to the restraint of the woven or knitted fabric cannot be obtained and a woven or knitted fabric having sufficient stretchability cannot be obtained.
[0014]
Moreover, it is necessary to make it the raw cotton which does not generate | occur | produce a nep and an unopened part in a sooting process. In general, the occurrence of a nep or an unopened part is closely related to the number of crimps and the crimped form. Therefore, for the spun yarn of the present invention, a composite fiber imparted with mechanical crimps of 8 to 18 pieces / 25 mm is used. When the number of applied crimps is less than 8 pieces / 25 mm, an unopened part is likely to occur, and when it exceeds 18 pieces / 25 mm, nep is likely to occur. As a method for imparting mechanical crimping, a stuffing box type, a heating gear type, or the like can be adopted, but a stuffing box type is generally adopted for the production of short fibers.
[0015]
In addition, when spiral crimps are developed before the wadding process, neps are likely to occur, the degree of uniformity of the web is deteriorated, and the webs are easily lost. Therefore, even if the latent crimpable composite fiber has a spiral crimping ability of 50 fibers / 25 mm or more, it does not exhibit spiral crimps until the end of the spinning process, and 8-18 fibers / 25 mm mechanical crimps. It is necessary to give.
[0016]
The spun yarn of the present invention needs to contain 60% by weight or more of the above composite fiber in order to sufficiently exhibit stretchability. When the composite fiber is less than 60% by weight, the expression of crimp is suppressed by the bundling resistance due to twisting, and a spun yarn having good stretchability cannot be obtained. Moreover, what is necessary is just to use the cotton which consists of normal PET as fibers other than the said composite fiber, The ratio is 40% or less, and it is preferable that it is 5 to 25%.
[0017]
On the other hand, the spun yarn of the present invention exhibits stretch elastic performance with an elongation of 10% or more and an elastic modulus of 80% or more by heat treatment with boiling water for 15 minutes. When the elongation rate is less than 10%, the fabric is not sufficiently stretchable due to the dense woven structure for fabrics. The elastic modulus needs to be 80% or more from the viewpoint of dimensional stability. In order to satisfy the stretch elastic performance, it is desirable that the shrinkage rate during the heat treatment with boiling water for 15 minutes is 10% or less. In the case of a spun yarn having a shrinkage rate exceeding 10%, after being processed into a woven or knitted fabric, the knitted or knitted fabric becomes hard due to shrinkage when subjected to heat treatment, and the stretch elastic performance is also reduced between the spun yarn fibers due to the shrinkage. Since the restraint becomes large, there is a possibility of being obstructed.
[0018]
The spun yarn of the present invention may be knitted and knitted after heat treatment for expressing the stretch elastic performance. It is also possible to add.
As the heat treatment of the spun yarn of the present invention, any heat treatment is possible, and heating means include boiling water, steam, hot air, high-frequency heating, etc., but heat treatment is performed in the finishing process after weaving and knitting. More advantageous in terms of cost. Of course, it is preferable to perform the heat treatment in a relaxed state in order to sufficiently exhibit the stretch elastic performance.
The spun yarn of the present invention can be easily produced by a commonly used spinning process.
[0019]
[Action]
The reason why the fiber of the present invention exhibits good latent crimping ability is not clear, but it is presumed that the copolymerization component of BA-EO and IPA of the copolyester P inhibits crystallinity.
Further, since the spun yarn of the present invention is a latently crimped fiber, it does not generate a nep or an unwoven part in the carding process, and after forming a woven or knitted fabric, it exhibits spiral crimping by performing a relaxation heat treatment. It provides a woven or knitted fabric having high stretchability and high elasticity recovery.
[0020]

When the yarn length under load d is E, the load of 50 mg / d after heat treatment is applied for 2 minutes, and the yarn length under load of 2 mg / d after dewetting is F. Calculate the shrinkage rate.
Elongation rate (%) = (ED) / D x 100
Elastic modulus (%) = (EF) / (ED) x100
Shrinkage rate (%) = (CE) / C x 100
(6) The crimped spun yarn in a restrained state is wound 80 times at 160 rpm with a measuring machine (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, model number 50805) to form a ring, and a load of 1.5 kgf is applied. After heating in a hot air dryer at 170 ° C. for 15 minutes, the shrinkage ratio was measured. At this time, those having a shrinkage ratio of 30% or more were evaluated as ◯, and those having a shrinkage ratio of less than 30% were evaluated as ×.
Shrinkage ratio (%) = (GH) / G x 100

Example 1
As copolymer polyester P, 4 mol% of BA-EO and 3 mol% of IPA were copolymerized [η] 0.70 polyethylene terephthalate copolymer polyester, and polyester Q was used as [η] 0.68 polyethylene terephthalate. A side-by-side type composite fiber was spun at a composite weight ratio of 1: 1 from a round cross-section die hole with 344 holes at a spinning temperature of 290 ° C., a take-up speed of 1150 m / min, and a discharge rate of 204 g / min. . This undrawn yarn was drawn at a draw ratio of 2.4 times and a drawing temperature of 70 ° C., subjected to tension heat treatment at 160 ° C., mechanically crimped by a stuffing box, and then cut into a cut length of 51 mm and a fineness of 2 denier. The composite fiber was obtained. The number of expressed crimps during heat treatment under no load at 170 ° C. was 62/25 mm.
20% of the spun yarn of the present invention was obtained through the normal spinning process of blended cotton, card, kneading, roving, fine spinning, and 100% of the obtained composite fiber.
[0022]
Examples 2-5
The same procedure as in Example 1 was conducted except that the copolymerization amount of BA-EO and IPA was changed as shown in Table 1, and a spun yarn of the present invention was obtained.
[0023]
Example 6
In Example 1, instead of spinning only with the composite fiber, it was carried out except that the composite fiber was mixed with 65% of the composite fiber and 35% of the normal polyester fiber (elongation 40%, 2d × 51 mm) with the mixed cotton. It carried out like Example 1 and obtained the spun yarn of this invention.

[0028]
Comparative Example 5
In Example 6, the ratio of the latent crimped cotton in the spun yarn was set to 50% by weight, and the polyester fiber (elongation: 40%, 2d × 51 mm) was set to 50%. Thus, a spun yarn of a comparative example was obtained.
Table 1 shows the characteristics of the polyesters used in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the characteristics of the obtained composite fibers, and the properties of the obtained spun yarn.
[0029]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003759236
[0030]
As is apparent from Table 1, the spun yarns of Examples 1 to 6 exhibit crimps that exhibit excellent elongation and elastic modulus by heat treatment with boiling water, and are excellent in the crimped state even in a restrained state. . On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, since the shrinkage difference between the copolyester P and the polyester Q was small, the number of crimps after heat treatment at 170 ° C., the expression of crimps under restrained conditions, and the elongation rate were insufficient. In Comparative Example 2, the copolymerization amount was too large, the crystallinity of the copolymerized polyester was poor, fusion occurred when the chips were dried, industrial production was difficult, and shrinkage during heat treatment was large. In Comparative Example 3, the copolymerization amount of BA-EO was too large, the crystallinity of the copolymerized polyester was poor, fusion occurred at the time of chip drying, and industrial production was difficult. In Comparative Example 4, since the shrinkage difference between the copolymerized polyester P and the polyester Q was small, the number of crimps after 170 ° C. heat treatment of the composite fiber and the expression of crimps under the restrained state of the spun yarn were insufficient. In Comparative Example 5, since the ratio of the latent crimpable conjugate fiber was small, the stretch rate of the spun yarn and the expression of crimp under a restrained state were insufficient.
