United States Patent IMPREGNATED SYNTHETIC FIBER SEWING 'gHREAD AND METHOD OF MAKING Howard D. Corkum, Willimantic, C0nn., asslgnor to The American Thread Company, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New Jersey No Drawing. Application December 17, 1956 Serial No. 628,555
Claims. (Cl. 117-1383) The present invention relates to sewing thread, .and further relates to a method of treating sewing thread.
Sewing threads manufactured from artificial fibers such as Orlon (polyacrylonitr'ile), nylon (polyamide) and Dacron (polyester) are subject to fusion and consequent breakage, when exposed to high needle temperatures during high speed sewing especially of heavy fabrics. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a sewing thread of the character indicated that is so treated as to reduce such fusion breakage to a minimum. Another of the objects of the invention is to provide a novel and improved method of treating sewing thread of this character. I
In accordance with the invention, the thread is impregnated with an emulsion of a character which givesa low coefficient of friction between the thread and the metal tensioning devices, guide and needle eyes common to sewing machines, and also gives sufiicient heat resistance to minimize fusion breakage.
The emulsion may consist of petroleum jelly and other lubricants, and a high heat resisting resin such as tetrafluoroethylene.
A preferred formulation of the emulsion is as follows Percent Petroleum jelly (Petrolatum A) 12.5 Butyl stearate g 9.5 Oleic acid- 8.0 Triethanolamine 2.5 Tetrafluoroethylene resin dispersion (Teflon) 4.0 Water 63.5
Total 100.0
This emulsion as given contains 32.4 percent solids. The properties of the chemicals used in the foregoing emulsion, and the names ofat least one manufacturer of each chemical areas follows:

Vendor: E. I. du Pont.
The Petrolatum A, butyl stearate oleic acid and triethanolamine, are weighed and melted together at 160 F. The mixture is stirred until a clear amber liquid results.
The water is added slowly, at 160 F. The emulsion becomes very thick and lumpy as it passes from the water in oil to the oil in water phase. With further additions of water a thin milky white emulsion results.
About half of the required water is added at 160 F. After the oil in water-phase is obtained'the remaining half may be added cold. Y
The Teflon dispersion is added to the thus prepared .emulsion with a minimum of stirring.
The emulsion can be applied to the'thread by spraying or dip impregnation using squeeze rolls, condensers or rubber strippers to remove the excess material. The thread may then be passed through a forced'draft hot air dryer at to C. for l0.to 20 seconds to remove the water component's.
Orlon (polyacrylonitrile) twisted filament thread or spun fiber is one of the most sensitive of the threads produced from man-made fibers to needle heat and fusion and, therefore, such thread was used in making the following tests:
A size 12 Orlon thread was treated with the above formulation toobtain a 15 percent solids coating, and size 20 Orlon was treated to obtain a 12 percent solids coating. The 12 Orlon was used as a needle thread, and the 20 Orlon was used as a looper thread on a Union Special 51-500] machine. Eight thicknesses of a mineral treated 12 oz. duck was'sewn at 3500 stitches per minute, starting and stopping every 48 inches for a length of 12 feet. This was effected without breakage occurring. conventionally treated Orlon thread of the same ticket sizes gave difiiculty in sewing three thicknesses of this same material, and numerous breaks due to fusing were encountered.
Units of the size 12 and 20 Orlon treated with said formulation as described, were taken out for field trials in factories specializingin the manufacture of canvas awnings, tenting and automobile tops. Several successful operations were carried out with these threads where previously the conventional treated Orlon threads had failed.
In an awning sewing operation using painted duck, said treated size 12 Orlon thread was used on a two needle Singer WSV-43 that folds the material to form a Successful results were obtained with no fusion or breakage. I Previously, noconventional treated Orlon threads had been successful in this operation so far as I am aware. I,
At a second plant, manufacturing convertible auto tops" of heavy rubberized canvas, similar successful results were obtained. In one operation a zipper tape, a clear vinyl plastic window, and a binder tape around the edge of the plastic were sewn successfully with said .12 Orlon.
had been successful.
Polyalkylene glycol, sp. gr. 0.999, manufactured by Carbide & Carbon Company under'the designation Ucon' L. B. 1 200X, may be substituted in whole or in part for the Petrolatum A at some increased .cost. This heat resistant lubricant holds its viscosity and lubricity at higher temperatures and supplies this desired property. in the high temperature range after the lower melting and less l have found a very satisfactory formulation including said Ucon L. B. 1200X is as follows:
The foregoing emulsions can be applied to the thread wheither or not the usual bonding or resin treatments are use Paraflin 130 M. P. also may be used as a substitute for petroleum jelly Where a slightly higher melting point is desired and yet maintain good lubricity in the low temperature range.
The percent of solids may be adjusted to give the desired pick up on the thread, and this may be determined to some extent by the type of sewing operation for which the thread is used.
A range of to percent coatings of solids based on the weight of the finished thread is required to give stisfactory high speed'sewing using various thicknesses such as from two to six inches of heavy mineral treated duck. On lighter sewing operations 1 to 5 percent coatings gave satisfactory results. This also applies to sewing leather or plastic materials.
On the heavier sewing operation where the sewing produces a lot of heat, the Teflon dispersion should be at a minimum of about 4 percent. Satisfactory results may be obtained with a Teflon dispersion of 21 percent or even more, but the cost of the emulsion would be substantially increased. For example I have obtained satisfactory results with the following formulations:
Percent Petroleum jelly l 7.0 Oleic acid 4.5
Triethanolamine 1.0
Teflon dispersion 21.0 Water 66.5
Paraflin wax 130 M. P 5.0 Butyl stearate 3.0 Oleic acid 4.5.
Triethanolamine 1.0 Teflon dispersion 21.0 Water 65.5
Polyakylene glycol (Ucon) 7.0 Oleic acid 4. 5 Triethanolamine 1.0 Teflon dispersion 21.0 Water 66.5
