Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sheath and core type conjugate fiber obtained by providing a core composed of polymer prepared by blending a specific halogen substituted aromatic compound and phosphorus compound in predetermined amounts and by wrapping said core component with a sheath component. The fire-retardancy of the sheath and core type conjugate fiber of this invention is remarkably high because a polymer having a high halogen concentration is used as the core component of the conjugate fiber.
Abstract:
1279357 Fireproofed conjugate filaments TORAY INDUSTRIES Inc 28 Aug 1970 41425/70 Heading B5B A conjugate sheath and core fibre comprises a core polymer which contains more than 5% by weight and less than 50% of a halogenated fire retardant compound and more than 5% by weight of a phosphorus-containing fire-retardant compound. The core component contains those compounds in such quantities that the halogen in the core component provided by the halogenated fire-retarding compound is between 3 and 50 times the weight of the phosphoruscontaining fire-retardant compound present in the core. The sheath polymer may also contain these fire-retarding compounds but, when it does, the percentage by weight of both of them is less than that obtaining in the core polymer. In addition, the maximum quantity of the halogenated fire-retardant is that which gives a halogen content of 10% by weight of the sheath polymer. The fibres are produced conventionally by melt-spinning the polymeric materials, the fireretardant compounds being present in the melt. The invention is particularly suitable for use with polyamides such as Nylon 6, Nylon 6,6 and polyesters such as homo- or copolymers of polyethylene terephthalate. Preferred phosphorus-containing fire-retardants are trialkyl and triaryl phosphates and phosphites and preferred halogenated compounds have the general formula C 6 H 4 X m Y n where X is chlorine or bromine, Y a plurailty of specified alkyl, aryl and alkylaryl radicals and m and n integers such that m is from 1 to 6 and n from 0 to 5. The fibres retain the fire-retardant compounds under normal conditions of use, and undergo little yellowing or exposure to U.V. light.
Abstract:
A polyester resinous composition comprising (a) an aromatic polyester, (b) a copolymer of an alpha -olefin and a glycidyl ester of alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and (c) an ethylene based copolymer of ethylene and alpha -olefin having more than three carbon atoms. The composition has highly improved impact strength at low temperature and good flow properties upon injection molding. The composition can be molded to form various articles by conventional molding methods.

Polyesters in which the recurring units consist wholly or predominantly of ethylene terephthalate units are stabilized against heat and oxidation by adding to them from 0.001 to 5% of at least one nitrogen containing compound of formula (a) where R 1 is hydrogen, a C 1-10 hydrogen group or a C 1-10 hydroxyalkyl group, R 2 and R 3 are hydrogen or C 1-10 hydrocarbon groups and n is 1 or 2; (b) where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and n are as above and R is a di- or tri-valent benzene ring group; (c) where R 4 is a C 1-10 hydrocarbon group, R 5 is hydrogen, a C 1-10 hydrocarbon group or an alkoxyaryl group containing 1-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, R 6 is an alkoxyaryl group containing 1-10 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, and X is hydrogen, a hydroxyl group or the group (d) where R 7 is an alkylene or alkenylene group or a 1,2 - phenylene or 1,8 - naphthalene group whose nuclei may be substituted (e.g. by alkyl, halogen, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl or hydroxyalkoxycarbonyl), R 8 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group, a hydrocarbon group which may be substituted by a carboxy, hydroxyl, alkoxycarbonyl or hydroxyalkoxycarbonyl group and n is 1 or 2; (e) where R 9 and R 10 are hydrogen atoms, phenyl groups or C 1-10 alkyl groups; or (f) where R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, R 14 is hydrogen or a C 1-10 hydrocarbon group and m is 1, 2 or 3. The stabilizers may be added before or during the preparation of the polyester or to the final product.
