  • Patent number: 7196158
    Abstract: A knitted/woven fabric of polyester fibers is produced from a polyester polymer obtained by condensation-polymerizing an aromatic dicarboxylate in the presence of a catalyst which comprises a mixture of a titanium compound ingredient (A) comprising a titanium alkoxide and at least one product of the reaction of the titanium alkoxide with a specific carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof and a specific phosphorus compound ingredient (B) and/or comprises a product of the reaction of a titanium compound ingredient (C) with a specific phosphorus compound ingredient (D). The knitted/woven fabric obtained has a satisfactory color tone (low value of b*) and is excellent in suitability for knitting/weaving and dyeability.

  • Publication number: 20050176323
    Abstract: A flat multifilament yarn woven fabric having a low air permeability and excellent vision through-preventing property and water- or perspiration-absorbing property includes, as warp and/or weft yarns, multifilament yarns formed from a plurality of artificial individual filaments having a flat cross-sectional profile in which, on both the sides of a longitudinal center line of the profile, 3 or more projections projecting outward from the longitudinal center line and 2 or more constrictions formed between the projections, per side of the profile are formed approximately in symmetry with respect to the longitudinal center line, and a degree of flatness of the profile represented by a ratio (B/C1) of a largest length B of the profile in the direction of the longitudinal center line to a largest width C1 of the profile in the direction of right angles to the longitudinal center line is 2 to 6, the woven fabric having a cover factor of 800 to 3500.
