However, nylon 6 is prone to yellowing during high-temperature processing, long-term light exposure or storage, seriously affecting the product appearance and service life. In the existing technology, anti-yellowing methods mainly include:
[0003] 1. Post-finishing process: Surface treatment is performed by padding with anti-yellowing agents (such as anti-phenolic yellowing agents and anti-heat yellowing agents), but there are problems such as poor wash resistance and the effect decreases with the number of washes.

[0097]
[0098] In summary, the nylon 6FDY prepared by the present invention has the following significant effects:
[0099] 1. Significant long-term anti-yellowing performance. The present invention uses a composite anti-yellowing system to scientifically proportion multiple ingredients such as hindered amine light stabilizers, benzotriazole UV absorbers, polylactic acid dispersants and phosphite antioxidants to form a synergistic effect. Hindered amine light stabilizers can effectively capture free radicals, benzotriazole UV absorbers can absorb ultraviolet energy, and phosphite antioxidants form a free radical capture synergistic system with hindered amine light stabilizers to resist fiber yellowing factors from multiple aspects. Under high temperature and light conditions, the color stability of the fiber can be maintained for a long time, avoiding the problem of limited anti-yellowing effect of single additive blends in the prior art, and ensuring the long-lasting beauty of nylon 6FDY during actual use.
[0100] 2. The production process is environmentally friendly and streamlined. The direct blending of a composite anti-yellowing masterbatch and nylon 6 chips eliminates the need for post-finishing, reduces chemical use and wastewater discharge during production, and complies with environmental protection requirements. This also avoids the drawback of poor washability associated with surface treatment, simplifies the production process, and improves efficiency. Optimized spinning process parameters, such as precise control of melt temperature, spinning temperature, side-blowing parameters, and stretching and shaping, reduce production costs while ensuring fiber quality, addressing the complex and high-cost challenges of traditional nitrogen-shielded spinning equipment.
[0101] 3. Excellent comprehensive fiber performance. As can be seen from the experimental data, the nylon 6FDY prepared by the present invention has high breaking strength. The breaking strengths of Examples 1, 2, and 3 all reach 5.2-5.3 cN / dtex, which is much higher than the 3.4 cN / dtex of the comparative example, indicating that the fiber has good physical strength and durability. The elastic recovery rate is also high, reaching 98-99%, while the comparative example is only 76%. This shows that the nylon 6FDY of the present invention can better recover its original shape after being deformed by force, and has a wider applicability and better user experience in textile applications. In addition, the yellowing index is low. The yellowing index of Examples 1, 2, and 3 is all 1.1-1.2, which is significantly lower than 3.5 of the comparative example, fully demonstrating its excellent anti-yellowing performance.
[0102] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
