BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an aramid mixed yarn comprising two types of multifilament yarns and at least one component being an aramid filament yarn.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, aramid multifilament yarn has been used as a reinforcing agent for rubbers and plastics by utilizing the properties of high elasticity, high strength, and heat resistance.
[0003]
In this application, the aramid filament yarn needs to be bonded to rubber or plastic, but the aramid filament itself has poor adhesion to rubber, and in order to improve the adhesion to this rubber, for example, separately It was necessary to perform an adhesion improvement process in advance.
[0004]
That is, for example, in order to obtain a polyester fiber and an aramid fiber having improved adhesion to rubber, an adhesion improving treatment method in which the fiber is coated with a specific adhesive has been proposed (Patent Document 1).
[0005]
However, such a method has a problem that a manufacturing process becomes complicated and costs increase because it is necessary to perform a treatment for improving adhesiveness.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the adhesiveness with rubber is remarkably improved, and depending on the use, it can be used as a reinforcing agent for rubber or plastics even without an adhesive improvement treatment. The object is to provide a novel aramid blended yarn that can be used.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-described object, the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention has the following configuration.
[0009]
That is, it is an aramid mixed yarn characterized in that it is composed of at least an aramid multifilament yarn A component and a multifilament yarn B component, and has a loop or a tarmi on the yarn surface.
[0010]
In the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention, the multifilament yarn B component is preferably a non-thermoplastic fiber depending on the use, or the multifilament yarn B component is preferably used according to other uses. It is a thermoplastic fiber.
[0011]
Preferably, the yarn length difference represented by the following formula is greater than 0% and 20% or less.
[0012]
Yarn length difference (%) = {[YL (B) −YL (A)] / YL (A)} × 100
YL (A): Length of aramid multifilament yarn A component contained per unit length of aramid blended yarn YL (B): Length of multifilament yarn B component contained per unit length of aramid blended yarn [0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention will be described in more detail.
[0014]
The aramid mixed yarn of the present invention is a mixed yarn comprising at least a component A yarn and a component B yarn. Here, an aramid multifilament yarn as a component A yarn and a multifilament yarn as a component B yarn are used. It is basically configured by including.
[0015]
In the present invention, the multifilament yarn refers to a fiber bundle in which a plurality of filaments are collected.
[0016]
In the present invention, the aramid multifilament yarn as the component A yarn refers to a multifilament yarn made of an aramid fiber, which may be either a meta aramid multifilament yarn or a para aramid multifilament yarn, depending on the application. These meta-aramid multifilament yarns and para-aramid multifilament yarns can be appropriately distinguished and used, and para-aramid multifilament yarns are particularly preferred in terms of high strength and high elasticity.
[0017]
In addition, the aramid fiber as used in the field of this invention means the fiber which consists of a polymer for which the repeating unit with which the aromatic ring was couple | bonded by the amide bond occupies at least 80% or more. Typical examples of the aramid fibers made of these polymers or copolymers include polyparaphenylene terephthalamide fibers, polymetaphenylene terephthalamide fibers, and copolyparaphenylene-3,4'-oxydiphenylene terephthalamide fibers. and so on.
[0018]
In addition, the multifilament yarn as the component B yarn of the present invention can be used by appropriately selecting non-thermoplastic fibers or thermoplastic fibers according to the application. When high elasticity, high strength, and heat resistance are important, it is better to select non-thermoplastic fibers. On the other hand, when it is desired to impart an appropriate heat shrinkage rate to the mixed yarn, it is preferable to select a thermoplastic fiber.
[0019]
Examples of non-thermoplastic fibers include meta-aramid fibers and para-aramid fibers. When both high strength and heat resistance are emphasized, it is preferable to select para-aramid fibers as B yarns. If only heat resistance is important, meta-aramid should be selected as the B yarn.
[0020]
Examples of the thermoplastic fiber that can be used as the multifilament yarn as the component B yarn include polyester or nylon multifilament yarn.
[0021]
According to the knowledge of the present inventors, it is preferable to select a nylon multifilament yarn, particularly when importance is attached to adhesion to rubber.
[0022]
In the present invention, the yarn length difference represented by the following formula is preferably greater than 0% and not more than 20%, more preferably not less than 5% and not more than 15%. That is, when the aramid mixed yarn according to the present invention having such a yarn length difference is used as a reinforcing material such as rubber, the rubber is generated by the component B yarn when the aramid mixed yarn and the rubber are bonded. This is because the adhesiveness with the rubber is improved by wrapping around the gap between the talmi and the loop and exerting the anchoring effect. On the other hand, when the yarn length difference is 0%, there is almost no occurrence of tarmi and loops due to the component B, it is difficult to exert the rubber throwing effect, and the adhesiveness is remarkably inferior.
[0023]
In addition, if the yarn length difference exceeds 20%, the loop and the tarmi generated by the component B become too large, the unwinding property from the yarn package becomes worse, and the yarn breakage may occur during unwinding. Since it tends to be difficult, it is not preferable.
[0024]
The preferred fineness range of the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention is 60 to 8000 dtex, and it is preferable to change it appropriately according to the use of the yarn. For example, 500-2000 dtex is preferable when used as a reinforcing thread for automobile hoses.
[0025]
Further, the fineness range of the aramid multifilament yarn A component is preferably 30 to 4000 decitex, and the fineness range of the multifilament yarn B component is preferably within a range of 30 to 4000 decitex.
[0026]
In addition, both the components A and B preferably have a single fiber fineness in the range of 0.3 to 20 dtex, and in consideration of processability at the time of fiber mixing, those in the range of 1 to 6 dtex are particularly preferable.
[0027]
The mixed fiber range (weight ratio) of the aramid multifilament yarn A component and the multifilament yarn B component is preferably within the range of A / B = 20/80 to 80/20,
In order to take advantage of the high strength and high elasticity characteristics of Component A, A / B = 30/70 to 70/30 is particularly preferable.
[0028]
The cross-sectional shape of the multifilament used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and any of a round cross section, an irregular cross section, a hollow cross section, and the like can be used. Moreover, thickness, cross-sectional shape, etc. may differ between the filaments in a multifilament.
[0029]
In order to produce the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention, it is necessary to mix the component A filament yarn and the component B filament yarn. To mix the components, for example, the component A is fed to the feed roller A, The component B may be supplied from separate feed rollers of the feed roller B to the blending nozzle, and the yarn discharged from the blending nozzle may be sent out by the deli berry roller and wound up by the winding roller. At this time, in order to make the surface of the yarn have loops and tarmi, the speed of the feed roller may be made faster than the speed of the delivery roller. Further, in order to make the yarn length difference larger than 0% and 20% or less, the speed of the feed roller B may be made faster than the speed of the feed roller A by an amount corresponding to the yarn length difference. The actual speed increase rate may be adjusted by actually measuring the yarn length difference by the yarn length difference measurement method described later.
[0030]
Here, a rectification entanglement nozzle, a turbulent entanglement nozzle, etc. can be used for the fiber mixing nozzle. Among them, it is more preferable to use a turbulent entanglement nozzle that is liable to generate a loop or a tarmi.
[0031]
Although the pressure of the compressed air supplied to a blend fiber nozzle is not specifically limited, According to the knowledge of the present inventors, 0.2-1.2 MPa is preferable, More preferably, 0.4-1. 0 MPa. The pressure may be adjusted as appropriate by measuring the strength of the mixed yarn. Moreover, in order to improve the formation power of a loop or a talmi, providing water to one component or both components just before supplying to a fiber mixing nozzle can also be selected suitably. Furthermore, in order to perform the surface treatment of the loop and the tarmi, a set heater can be appropriately provided between the delivery roller and the take-up roller.
[0032]
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are each a schematic diagram of a yarn appearance showing an example of a yarn form for explaining the aramid mixed yarn of the present invention.
[0033]
The aramid mixed yarn of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 illustrates a form in which an aramid filament yarn A component constitutes a core portion and an aramid filament yarn B component yarn constitutes a sheath portion.
[0034]
The aramid mixed yarn of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 illustrates a form in which an aramid filament yarn A component constitutes a core portion and a polyester filament yarn B component yarn constitutes a sheath portion.
[0035]
The aramid mixed yarn of the present invention is suitable for use as a reinforcing agent for rubber materials.
[0036]
Examples of the rubber material include various hoses, belts, tires, and seats. Among them, automobile hoses such as brake hoses that require heat resistance are preferable. This is because various properties such as heat resistance and high strength of aramid fiber can be used.
[0037]
【Example】
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention, this invention is not limited to these Examples. The evaluation methods of the characteristics described in the examples are as follows.
<Evaluation of adhesive strength with rubber>
Peel test 1:
Assuming use with tire cords, 7 yarns were buried near the surface so that they would not overlap the unvulcanized rubber block, and vulcanized at 160 ° C. for 30 minutes to bond the yarn and rubber, A sample having a length of 250 mm and a width of 30 mm is used. Next, the peeling force (N / 5) was measured when 5 yarns excluding 2 at both ends were peeled from the rubber block at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min with a tensile tester.
[0038]
Peel test 2:
Assuming that it will be used as a reinforcing thread for rubber hoses, the thread is lined up in an unvulcanized rubber block without any gaps and buried near the surface layer, vulcanized at 160 ° C for 30 minutes to bond the thread and rubber, and a length of 250 mm X A sample with a width of 30 mm. Next, the peeling force (N / 20 mm) when peeling a 20 mm wide yarn at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min was measured with a tensile tester.
<Thread length difference>
A load of 2.94 mN / dtex is applied to the yarn, and the yarn is fixed to a tester with a length of 5 cm. If the yarn is twisted at this time, turn the tester to untwist the yarn.
[0039]
Remove the load and carefully separate the A component and the B component while the yarn is fixed to the inspection machine. At this time, use auxiliary tools such as needles and tweezers as much as possible because they are easy to separate.
[0040]
Again apply a load of 2.94 mN / dtex. The A component is tensioned and the B component is longer than the A component, so the tension is not applied and the component A is slack. The yarn length in this state is measured. This value is YL (A). Next, the A component is cut with scissors. This time, the tension is applied to the B component. The yarn length in this state is measured. This value is YL (B).
[0041]
The yarn length difference is calculated according to the following formula. Round off to the next decimal place.
