Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a low surface energy fiber having a long-term liquid repellency and anti-stain effect.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Technical Field of the Invention
  • The present application is directed to a production method of fibers, and specifically to a production method of fibers having a low surface energy.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • The existing textiles having a low surface energy (low surface tension) are usually produced by a processing procedure of applying a low surface energy aid to a fabric, such as by means of coating, dipping, padding, etc., to allow the low surface energy aid to adsorb onto the fabric, and then fixing the aid onto the fabric at a heating temperature of about 100˜210° C.
  • TW Patent Application No. 098110619 (hereinafter, D1) discloses a production method of yarns having water repellency, wherein the yarns to be treated are allowed to pass through a reagent vessel containing a water repellent agent, and then pass through a heat treatment unit to fixing the water repellent agent on the yarns to be treated to form yarns having water repellency. However, said method requires movement through a reagent vessel unit and a heat treatment unit in a series. In addition to a long processing time and increasing costs, the water repellent agent is scorched on the heat treatment unit due to the heat. Further, since the water repellent agent only adsorbs onto the surface of the yarns, it may transfer to other yarns which are not desired to become water repellent during subsequent treatments (such as yarn binding treatment).
  • In addition, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101984154 (hereinafter, D2) discloses a production method of a water repellent polyester fiber, wherein the water repellent agent is directly added into the spinning finishing oil, and thereby the water repellent agent directly adsorbs onto the fiber surface during a melting spinning procedure in order to prepare fibers having water repellency. However, during the latter processing procedure of this method, since the water repellent agent adsorbing onto the fiber surface is prone to adhering on the hot plate after heating, scorched fouling (which cannot be easily cleaned and scratched) is produced. This not only leads to hot plate equipment damage, but the textile properties are also affected owing to a non-uniform heating of fiber.
  • Moreover, after water washing the water repellent fibers/yarns produced by the aforementioned prior arts for several times, the water repellent agent adsorbing on the fibers/yarns is prone to being washed out. Specifically, after subjected to water washing according to AATCC (Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists)-135 Standard, the water repellent effect of fibers will become significantly worsen.
  • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present application studied and conducted experiments to provide fibers having a low surface energy and a production method thereof, thereby improving the disadvantages existing in the known spinning production techniques and producing fibers having excellent liquid repellency and anti-fouling effect at low production costs.
  • According to an embodiment of the present invention, a production method of fibers having a low surface energy comprises the following steps:
  • formulating a thermoplastic polymer containing 0.1˜30 wt % of a lower surface energy additive; and
  • subjecting said thermoplastic polymer as a spinning raw material to melt spinning, followed by drawing and false twist processing to produce fibers with a surface tension of between 25˜72 dyne/cm.
  • According to another embodiment of the present application, a production method of fibers having a low surface energy comprises the following steps:
  • formulating a thermoplastic polymer containing 0.1˜30 wt % of a lower surface energy additive; and
  • subjecting said thermoplastic polymer as a spinning raw material to melt spinning, drawing and setting to produce a fully drawn yarn (FDY) with a surface tension of between 25˜72 dyne/cm.
  • According to a further embodiment of the present application, a production method of fibers having a low surface energy comprises the following steps:
  • formulating a thermoplastic polymer containing 0.1˜30 wt % of a lower surface energy additive; and
  • subjecting said thermoplastic polymer as a spinning raw material to melt spinning, multi-stage drawing and setting to produce a high tenacity yarn (HTY) with a surface tension of between 25˜72 dyne/cm.
  • The production method of fibers having a low surface energy of the present invention can shorten processing time and reduce equipment volume and costs, since the low surface energy additive is added into the spinning raw materials at the spinning raw material stage and it is unnecessary to pass through a reagent vessel of water repellent agent and a heat treatment unit in series as required by D1. In addition, different from D1, the low surface energy additive is incorporated into the spinning raw materials at the spinning raw material stage in the present invention, and thus the application of the water repellent agent onto the yarn surface during a subsequent processing as required by D1 can be omitted, thereby avoiding a poor situation caused by heating a water repellent to scorch when yarns pass through a heat treatment unit. The scorching resulting from heating the water repellent agent to adhere onto a hot plate during a latter spinning processing as required by D2 can be also omitted. Further, since the prepared fibers have a surface tension of 25˜72 dyne/cm, they have excellent liquid repellency and anti-fouling effect.

  • In order to produce the fibers having a low surface energy described below, the present invention adds a specific low surface energy additive to the aforementioned thermoplastic polymer before melting spinning said thermoplastic polymer. Considering that the low surface energy additive added into the thermoplastic polymer should be free from deterioration at a high temperature during melting spinning procedure, the present invention selects fluorine-series additives with a high thermal resistance, such as the fluorine-series low surface energy aid of model FC-L624 produced by GOULSTON company.
  • In the present invention, a low surface energy additive is added into a thermoplastic polymer in an amount of 0.1 wt %˜30 wt %.

On the other hand, when the amount of a low surface energy additive is higher than 30 wt %, the costs relatively increase and the production becomes difficult, even though the effect for reducing the surface energy of fibers is good.
  • In the present invention, a thermoplastic polymer containing 0.1 wt %˜30 wt % of a low surface energy additive as a spinning raw material can be obtained by: adding 0.1 wt %˜30 wt %, based on the total amounts of the monomers, of a low surface energy additive to the monomers, followed by polymerization in the process of using monomers; or alternatively, blending thermoplastic polymer particles containing a specific amount (such as 1˜60 wt %) of a low surface energy additive with thermoplastic polymer particles free of a low surface energy additive such that the concentration of the low surface energy additive is 0.1˜30 wt % after blending.

  • (DTY) or air false twist at a winding rate of 100˜800 m/min and at a hot plate temperature of 60˜400° C. (ATY) to produce fibers having a low surface energy.
  • In addition, the production method of fibers having a low surface energy of the present invention also allows a thermoplastic polymer containing 0.1˜30 wt % of a low surface energy additive to eject from a spinneret of a spinning machine in a mono spinning or composite spinning manner at a molten state, and melting spin, draw and set at a spinning rate of 1000˜6000 m/min, drawing ratio of 1.0˜10, drawing temperature of 25˜200° C. and setting temperature of 60˜260° C. to produce a fully drawn yarn (FDY) having a surface tension of between 25˜72 dyne/cm.
