example

[0057] NMP, CaCl 2 , DAPBI, PPD and TCl were obtained from commercial sources.

example 1

[0059] Add 5.38% CaCl to the FM130D Littleford reactor 2 31.82 kg of NMP solvent ("c" value 5.38). Then 2180 g of DAPBI ("b" value 70) was added. The contents were then cooled to 10°C. 707 g of terephthaloyl chloride was added to form a prepolymer solution. The prepolymer solution was then cooled to 10°C, and 455 g of PPD ("y" value 30) was dissolved in the prepolymer mixture. Then 2122 g of terephthaloyl dichloride were added. The product of (b×c) of the polymer is equal to 377.

[0060] The reaction had 12% solids on a polymer basis and 14.7% solids on a total monomer basis. The final inherent viscosity was 6.5 dl / g.

example 2

[0068] Example 1 was repeated, however adding terephthaloyl dichloride to DAPBI in three additions. After each addition, the mixture was cooled to 10 °C. The result was a polymer solution and polymer similar to Example 1.

Abstract

The invention concerns processes for forming polymer crumb comprising residues of 2-(4-amino phenyl)-5 (6) amino phenyl benzimidazole (DAPBI), paraphenylene diamine (PPD), and terephthaloyl dichloride (TCl), comprising the steps of: i) forming a slurry of b mole percent DAPBI in a solvent system comprising organic solvent and c weight percent of an inorganic salt, wherein the inorganic salt is present in an amount of at least 5 weight present of the organic solvent; ii) contacting the slurry with a less than stoichiometric amount of terephthaloyl chloride to form an prepolymer solution; and iii) contacting the prepolymer solution with y mole percent of PPD and additional TCL to form a polymer solution; wherein the total amount of TCL added in steps ii) and iii) is a stoichiometric amount based on the total amount of DAPBI and PPD added in steps i) and iii); the DAPBI and PPD are added in an amount sufficient for providing a polymer solution having a weight percent solids of 12 percent or greater on a polymer basis; and wherein the sum of y+b is 100 and the product of b x c is 225 or greater.

Description

technical field [0001] This patent application relates to a process for the preparation of aromatic polyamide polymers derived from 5(6)-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)benzimidazole (DAPBI), p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and terephthaloyl dichloride (TCl), capable of forming fibers with excellent physical properties. Background technique [0002] Derived from 5(6)-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)benzimidazole (DAPBI), p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and terephthaloyl dichloride (TCl, also commonly known as terephthaloyl dichloride Acyl chloride) fibers are known in the art. Such copolymers are Russian-made high-strength fibers (for example under the trade name and )The basics. See Russian Patent Application 2,045,586. U.S. Patent 4,172,938 discloses a process for preparing aramid polymers using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) containing at least 1.5 but less than 5% by weight CaCl 2 solvent. [0003] The prior art does not allow the preparation of aramid polymers comprising DAPBI in high solids co...
