Patent number: 6836915Abstract: In the process for continuously dyeing a poly(trimethylene terephthalate) bulked continuous filament yarn carpet an aqueous dyeing solution is applied to a continuously moving poly(trlmethylene terephthalate) bulked continuous filament yarn carpet at a temperature of 45° C. to 100° C., and then the poly(trimethylene terephthalate) bulked continuous filament yam carpet is steamed, rinsed and dried. Before applying the aqueous dyeing solution the carpet is heat-set at 120 to 150° C. The carpet is steamed with saturated steam at 102 to 150° C. for 5 to 10 mm. The aqueous dyeing solution does not include an anti-frosting agent. The process also advantageously includes heating the carpet with a dry heat of 140 to 300° C. for 30 to 60 sec after steaming the carpet and before rinsing it.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2002Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Hyosung CorporationInventors: Kee-chul Song, Je-an Yu, Ii-won Jung

Patent number: 6812270Abstract: Disclosed is a process of producing a highly homogeneous cellulose solution, in which a mixture of powdered cellulose with polyvinyl alcohol powder is fed in conjunction with concentrated liquid NMMO into a kneader or an extruder to produce the highly homogeneous cellulose solution, or into the kneader to produce a swollen cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol paste and the paste thus produced is moved into the extruder to produce the highly homogeneous cellulose solution. The cellulose solution is extruded through a nozzle into a cellulose fiber. The process is advantageous in that the highly homogeneous cellulose solution can be rapidly and inexpensively produced because the cellulose solution is produced without a vacuum distillation step or separate swelling step, and formation of fibrils is prevented, thereby cellulose fibers with excellent flexibility and strength are produced from the cellulose solution.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2002Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Hyosung CorporationInventors: Tae-jung Lee, Soo-myung Choi, Yun-hyuk Bang, Seok-jong Han
