  • Publication number: 20050269439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing and winding partially oriented polyester multifilament yarns not less than 85% by weight based on the total weight of the multifilament yarn polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and/or polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTMT) that contain between 0.05% by weight and 2.5% by weight based on the total weight of the multifilament yarn of at least one additive polymer extensibility enhancer, which comprises providing a wound yarn package which is stable in long-term storage and insensitive to elevated temperatures during storage and transportation by heat-treating the wound polyester multifilament yarn package at a temperature in the range from >45° C. to 65° C. The present invention further relates to the polyester multifilament yarns obtainable by the process and to their use.

  • Patent number: 6667096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production and for the spooling of preoriented polyester filaments comprising at least 90 weight %, relative to the total weight of the polyester filament, of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and/or polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTMT), preferably of PTMT, characterized in that: a) the spinline extension ratio is set in the range of 70 to 500; b) the filaments, immediately after exiting from the spinning nozzles, pass through a cooling delay zone from 30 mm to 200 mm in length; c) the filaments are cooled off to below the solidification temperature; d) the filaments are bundled at a distance of between 500 mm and 2500 mm from the lower side of the spinneret plate; e) the tension of the thread in front of and between the draw-off galettes is set to between 0.05 cN/dtex to 0.20 cN/dtex; f) the thread is spooled with a tension of the thread of between 0.025 cN/dtex to 0.15 cN/dtex; g) the spooling speed is adjusted to between 2200 m/min. and 3500 m/min.

  • Patent number: 6645621
    Abstract: PTT staple fibers which are characterised by a novel combination of properties. In combination with novel stress-strain properties and modulus parameters, staple fibers or textiles or home textiles having extremely desirable aesthetics and service quality are obtained. Economical two-stage process for the production of PTT staple fibers. The melt spinning is carried out at a high polymer throughput and a spinning take-off speed of at least 600 m/min. In a separate fiber drawing frame, the stretching, heat-setting, crimping and drying are carried out.
