Abstract: An apparatus that includes speed, temperature, tension, position and pressure sensors on a BCF yarn spinning machine in connection with a digital computer incorporates models in the computer which predict yarn bulk and dyeability properties as a function of sensor inputs: hot roll temperature, bulking jet temperature, ladder guide tension, relative viscosity, draw zone tension, Hall-effect Watt-meter measuring the power consumption of the spinning pump, finish roll speed, takeup roll speed, wind up speed and wind up tension.

Abstract: A durable antisoiling coating composition for textile filaments comprises a perfluoroalkyl ester of a citric acid urethane and fluorinated alcohols in combination with a modified epoxy resin which is the reaction product of a carboxyl-functional vinyl polymer, an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine. The composition can be applied as an aqueous dispersion, including a non-ionic textile lubricant based on poly(ethylene glycol).

Abstract: A durable antisoiling coating composition for textile filaments and articles made therefrom comprises a perfluoroalkyl ester of a citric acid urethane and fluorinated alcohols in combination with a modified epoxy resin which is the reaction product of a carboxyl-functional vinyl polymer, an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine. The composition can be applied as an aqueous dispersion, including a non-ionic textile lubricant based on poly(ethylene glycol). The dispersion can be used as a spin finish to provide durable protection to filaments, particularly nylon filaments.
