Description
United States Patent 3,068,063 CELLULOSE ACETATE SPINNING SOLUTIONS CONTAINING ZHRCONIUM ADDITIVES John E. Kiefer and George P. Touey, Kingsport, Tenn.,
assignors to Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester,
N.Y., a corporation of New Jersey No Drawing. Filed Oct. 25, 1960, Ser. No. 64,746 5 Claims. (Cl. 1854) This invention concerns a new spinning solution and the process of spinning such solution into fine denier filaments. More particularly, this invention concerns the incorporation of relatively small amounts of certain zirconium compounds into cellulose acetate spinning solutions whereby the viscosity of the cellulose acetate solution is increased in a manner that facilitates the spinning of fine denier filaments therefrom.
This application is related to and is a continuation in part of our companion copending applications Serial Numbers 848,187 and 848,188.
As set forth in our companion applications, in the production of cellulose acetate yarn, cellulose acetate is dissolved in acetone or the like solvent. The spinning dope is put under pressure and forced through small holes or orifices in a spinneret. The fine strands of dope are continuously pulled from the spinneret through a spinning cabinet where the solvent is evaporated by means of hot air. The denier of the resulting filaments can be defined by the factors of dope solids, draft, dope density, and orifice diameter as follows:
Denier per filament K (dope percent solids) (orifice diameter) (dope density) take-up divided by the linear extrusion speed of the spinning solution at the orifice. In many instances spinning draft is limited to about 1.8. Excessive draft can result in many broken filaments and filaments with reduced physical properties.
The above relationship suggests changing the orifice diameter as a means of varying the denier of cellulose acetate filaments. However, when spinnerets with orifices with diameters less than about 0.035 mm. are used, mechanical difiiculties may arise in the spinning operation. The acetate spinning dope does not flow through the smaller holes at an even rate and the holes tend to become clogged.
The denier of cellulose acetate filaments can also be varied by varying the solids content of the spinning dope. It is apparent that lowering the solids concentration of a dope will decrease the denier of the resulting filament, assuming the extrusion rate and the take-up rate are held constant. However, when the solids content of cellulose acetate is decreased, the dope viscosity also decreases. This produces difficulties in controlling the proper flow rate of the dope through the spinneret. Also, dopes with low viscosity may tend to stick to the metal spinneret and are, therefore, difiicult to pull into filaments. One method of eliminating this problem is to use a cellulose acetate with a higher intrinsic viscosity than is normally used for cellulose acetate yarn. The higher cost of producing a high intrinsic viscosity ester has tended to make this approach unattractive. H
In recent years there has developed a market for fine denier filaments. One particular use therefor is the manufacture of tobacco smoke filters from such fine denier cellulose acetate filaments. It is apparent, therefore, that the development of simple, less expensive procedure for making such cellulose acetate filaments represents a highly desirable result.
After extensive investigation we have discovered a relatively simple way by which such fine denier filaments may be produced without involving the change of presently used spinning equipment or other material changes in existing processes for producing cellulose acetate filaments.
This invention has for one object to provide a cellulose acetate spinning solution of increased viscosity but with relatively low solids content. Still another object is to provide a way of improving cellulose acetate spinning solutions whereby they may be more readily spun into fine denier filaments. A particular object is to provide a cellulose acetate spinning solution which has a relatively small amount of certain zirconium compounds therein. Still a furtherobjectis to provide a method for spinning cellulose acetate filaments of relatively small deniers such as deniers of the order of 0.2-2 denier per filament. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
In the broader aspects of our invention we have found that commercial yarn grade cellulose acetate spinningdope diluted with acetone or equivalent solvents to a low solids content (15-23%), which concentration is notnormally suitable for spinning, can be made suitable for spinning by the addition of 0.02 to 1.5% (based on the cellulose acetate) of zirconium chelate esters. Such zirconium compounds apparently partially affect the cellulose acetate in some manner which results in a large increase in the viscosity of the cellulose acetate spinning dope. The large increase in dope viscosity, on addition of very small amounts of zirconium chelates, was quite unexpected.
Therefore, the present invention may be accomplished by adding 0.01 to 1.00% (based on the cellulose acetate) of a zirconium chelate to a low solids cellulose acetate spinning dope, then spinning the dope into fibers using conventional cellulose acetate spinning equipment.
The zirconium chelates useful in carrying out this invention are those chelates which are acetone soluble, are
fairly resistant to hydrolysis (most cellulose acetate spinning dopes contain some water) and which react with the free hydroxyl groups of the cellulose acetate. They have the following composition.
where x=0, 1, 2, or 3 and R represents an alkyl or aryl hydrocarbon such as the ethyl, propyl, butyl, Z-ethylhexyl, or phenyl group. R represents an oxy compound capable of chelating with zirconium such as dihydroxy, diketo, hydroxyketo compounds, hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters, and ketocarboxyli-c acids and. their esters. Examples of the oxy chelating compounds useful in carrying out this invention are acetyl acetone, ethyl acetoacetate, diacetone alcohol, 1,3-octylene glycol, and ethyl lactate. V
The cellulose acetate which can be used in carrying out this invention comprises yarn grade acetone soluble cellulose acetate With an acetyl content of 37-42%. The cellulose acetate spinning'dopes which are preferred for use in carrying out this invention consist of 10 to 23% cellulose acetate, 76 to 89% acetone, .5 to 3% water and 0.01 to 0.50% (based on the cellulose acetate) of the zirconium chelate.
A further understanding of our invention will be ap While we prefer to operate with acetone solutions of cellulose acetate, since as is well known acetone is the common readily available commercial solvent frequently used for dissolving cellulose acetate as illustrated above, our invention will function when other solvents are used parent from the several examples which follow for illustrating certain of our preferred embodiments. for the cellulose acetate. Accordingly, our invention is EXAMPLE I not limited to the particular cellulose acetate acetone solutions described above.
