Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polyethylene fibers, and more particularly to a cut-resistant polyethylene fiber. Background Art

[0002] Polyethylene fiber refers to a fiber material obtained by melt spinning polyethylene, including staple fibers and filaments. The mechanical strength of this fiber can be adjusted through spinning process parameters, and the wet strength and elongation are the same as those in the dry state. Polyethylene fiber has the advantages of high strength, low density, good insulation, etc., but its low heat load capacity and cold creep limit its applications, and it is mainly used in the production of various industrial textiles, especially filter materials, tarpaulins, and mesh belts.

[0003] In view of its main application in the textile field, the anti-cutting function is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The antioxidant is a hindered phenol antioxidant, which can prevent the degradation of polyethylene due to oxidation during processing and use, and improve the stability and service life of the fiber.

[0006] The light stabilizer is an ultraviolet absorber or a hindered amine light stabilizer, which can effectively absorb or quench ultraviolet light and prevent the fiber from aging due to light exposure in the outdoor environment.

[0007] The first lubricant is a fatty acid ester lubricant, which can improve the fluidity and demoulding property of the fiber during processing, reduce friction, and improve production efficiency and fiber quality.

[0008] The antioxidant is antioxidant 1010, which can effectively inhibit the oxidative degradation of the product during processing and use and extend the service life.

[0009] The second lubricant is calcium stearate, which can improve the processing fluidity, reduce the internal friction during processing, and prevent the material from adhering to the processing equipment.

[0010] The ultraviolet absorber is UV-531, which can improve the ultraviolet resistance of the product and prevent aging, discoloration and performance degradation due to ultraviolet irradiation during outdoor use.

[0011] The average molecular weight of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder is 5 million - 8 million.

[0012] In the present invention, the selection of the combination and ratio of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, carbon fiber and nano-silica can well ensure the cut resistance of the product.
