  • Patent number: 11142847
    Abstract: A spinning nozzle which has a perforated part in which ejection holes have been arranged in a density as high as 600-1,200 holes/mm2. This process for producing a fibrous bundle comprises ejecting a spinning dope having a viscosity as measured at 50° C. of 30-200 P from the ejection holes of the spinning nozzle to produce a fibrous bundle. This fibrous bundle has a single-fiber fineness of 0.005-0.01 dtex. By the wet-process direct spinning, a mass of nanofibers which are stably uniform and continuous can be produced at a high efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9802177
    Abstract: A metal adsorption acrylic fiber wherein the strontium adsorption rate is 85% or more when the strontium adsorption rate is measured using the following measurement method. A strontium adsorption rate measurement method (strontium 0.1 ppm measurement method) involves immersing a metal adsorption acrylic fiber into an immersion fluid, collecting the immersion fluid as a testing solution 24 hours after beginning the immersion, analyzing the quantity of strontium in the testing solution, obtaining the concentration (C1) (ppm) of strontium in the testing solution, creating a contrast solution, analyzing the quantity of strontium in the contrast solution as in the case with the testing solution, obtaining the concentration (C2) (ppm) of strontium in the contrast solution, and calculating the strontium adsorption rate of the metal adsorption acrylic fiber by using the following equation: strontium adsorption rate (%)={(C2?C1)/C2}×100.

  • Publication number: 20170191196
    Abstract: The present invention relates to wadding in which short fibers (A) having a single fiber fineness (a) of 0.001-1.0 dtex make up 5-90 mass % of the total mass of the wadding. Measured in accordance with JIS L 1096 Warmth Retention Method A (Constant-Temperature Method):2010, a 89% or higher warmth retention ratio is obtained in test items made by stuffing 100 g of the wadding substantially evenly into a pouch-shaped cover produced by layering two pieces of 45 cm-length 100% cotton fabric squares and thereafter sewing shut the opening of the pouch-shaped cover. By means of the present invention, it is possible to provide wadding which has excellent softness and bulkiness and which is ideal for use in down jackets, duvets or other bedding.
