Benefits of technology

The patent text describes the use of a special process to control the properties of fibers made from aliphatic polyketones. By adjusting various parameters such as temperature, shear, and spinning delay, the degree of crosslinking of the polymer can be controlled, resulting in improved properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, bending resistance, and bending recovery. The use of selected polymer additives can further enhance the fiber's stability and mechanical properties. Combining aliphatic polyketones with other polymers can also create fibers with excellent mechanical properties. The polymer's good barrier properties make it suitable for producing fibers with high chemical resistance. The invention also allows for the production of hot melt variants with low melting points that can be used in textile construction or for thermal binding with other materials. The resulting fibers have low friction coefficients and good abrasion resistance.

Problems solved by technology

However, it cannot be avoided that small proportions of the solvent used are left in the finished fiber.
This can lead to accelerated degradation or crosslinking reactions of the polymer, which in turn can have a detrimental effect on the properties of the produced fiber or which can lead to crosslinking reactions of the polymer, which can limit their processability in the extrusion process.

example 1

[0194]Combination of two commercially available aliphatic polyketones, a higher melting one in the core—type M630A from Hyosung Polyketone—and a low-melting one in the sheath type M410F from Hyosung Polyketone.

[0195]To produce such a bicomponent monofilament, both components were co-extruded in one production step. The relative feed rate allows the core / sheath ratio to be adjusted, which here was 70 / 30. In the process, the monofilament was stretched several times under temperature exposure. The total stretching ratio was 1:3.7.

[0198]A stabilized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 99.3% raw material type 12 from Invista with 0.7% Stabaxol from Lanxess was used in the core and an aliphatic polyketone—type M630A from Hyosung Polyketone was used in the sheath.

[0199]Such a monofilament was co-extruded in one production step. The relative feed rate allows the core / sheath ratio to be adjusted, which here was 70 / 30. In the process, the monofilament was stretched several times under temperature exposure. The total stretching ratio was 1:4.3.

[0202]An aliphatic polyketone type M630A from Hyosung Polyketone—was used as a matrix polymer. In addition, 1.0% by weight of polysiloxane beads type PMSQ E+580 from Coating Products with an average diameter of 8 μm were dispersed in the matrix polymer.

[0204]As shown in EP 2 933 961 A1, the addition of polysiloxane beads reduces the friction coefficient against metal or ceramic through the resulting surface structure of the monofilament. This is also the case in the combination with aliphatic polyketone (see table below). The monofilaments of the comparative experiments V1 to V5 referred to in the table are described below.
