Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Aramidfasern, die eine verbesserte Schnittresistenz aufweisen.The present invention relates to aramid fibers having an improved Have cut resistance.

Beim Schmelzspinnen werden faserbildendenden Polymeren üblicherweise Feststoffe, wie Titandioxid oder kolloider Quarz, als Mattierungsmittel beigemischt. Auch der Zusatz anderer Feststoffe, beispielsweise zum Erzeugen magnetischer Eigenschaften ist an sich bekannt. Beispiele dafür sind in der JP-A-55-098,909 oder in der JP-A-3-130,413 zu finden. Der Einsatz derartiger Mattierungsmittel in lösungsgesponnenen Aramidfasern ist bislang nicht üblich.In melt spinning, fiber-forming polymers are commonly used Solids, such as titanium dioxide or colloidal quartz, added as a matting agent. Also, the addition of other solids, for example, to generate magnetic Properties are known per se. Examples thereof are disclosed in JP-A-55-098,909 or in JP-A-3-130,413. The use of such matting agents in solution-spun aramid fibers is not common practice.

Der Zusatz von Metallen bei der Herstellung von Schutzbekleidung ist ebenfalls bereits beschrieben worden. Derartige Produkte werden z.B. in den US-A-2,328,105 oder US-A-5,020,161 offenbart.The addition of metals in the manufacture of protective clothing is also already described. Such products are e.g. in US-A-2,328,105 or US-A-5,020,161.

Schnittresistente Handschuhe wurden ebenfalls bereits beschrieben. Aus den US-A-4,004,295, -4,384,449, -4,470,251 und aus der EP-A-458,343 sind Handschuhe bekannt, die aus hochfesten Fasern bestehen oder die aus Garnen enthaltend Metalldrähte hergestellt worden sind.Cut Resistant Gloves have also been previously described. From US-A-4,004,295, -4,384,449, -4,470,251 and EP-A-458,343 are gloves known, which consist of high-strength fibers or containing from yarns Metal wires have been produced.

Aus der EP-A-599,231 sind Fasern enthaltend flüssigkristalline Polymere bekannt, die mit Füllstoffen einer Härte nach Mohs von wenigstens 3 ausgerüstet sind. In dieser Schrift werden unter anderem auch flüssigkristalline aromatische Polyamide als faserbildendes Material beschrieben.EP-A-599,231 discloses fibers containing liquid crystalline polymers, which are equipped with Mohs hardness fillers of at least 3. In This document also includes liquid-crystalline aromatic polyamides described as a fiber-forming material.

Aromatische Polyamide (Aramide) sind bekanntlich Rohstoffe von hoher thermischer und chemischer Stabilität sowie geringer Brennbarkeit. So zeigen beispielsweise Fasern und Folien aus solchen Rohstoffen sehr gute mechanische Eigenschaften, wie hohe Festigkeit und hohen Anfangsmodul (Elastizitätsmodul) und sind für technische Einsatzgebiete gut geeignet - beispielsweise zur Verstärkung von Kunststoffen oder als Filtermaterialien.Aromatic polyamides (aramids) are known to be raw materials of high thermal and chemical stability and low flammability. For example, show Fibers and films of such raw materials very good mechanical properties, such as high strength and high initial modulus (Young's modulus) and are for technical applications well suited - for example, to reinforce Plastics or as filter materials.

Es ist bekannt, daß Fäden oder Fasern aus Polyaramiden mit hoher Festigkeit und hohem Anfangsmodul hergestellt werden können, wenn die Amidbindungen an den aromatischen Kernen koaxial oder nahezu parallel zueinander orientiert sind, wodurch starre, stäbchenförmige Polymermoleküle entstehen. Ein typisches Polyamid dieser Art ist beispielsweise Poly-(p-phenylenterephthalamid).It is known that filaments or fibers of polyaramids with high strength and high initial modulus can be produced when the amide bonds to the aromatic cores are oriented coaxially or nearly parallel to each other, whereby rigid, rod-shaped polymer molecules are formed. A typical one Polyamide of this type is, for example, poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide).

Neben derartigen aromatischen Polyamiden, die infolge ihrer Unlöslichkeit in polaren organischen Lösungsmitteln schwierig herzustellen und zu verarbeiten sind, wurden Copolyamide entwickelt, welche eine gute Löslichkeit in den bekannten Amid-Lösungsmitteln haben, die sich auch gut verspinnen lassen und deren Filamente sich nach Verstreckung durch hohe Festigkeitswerte und Anfangsmoduli auszeichnen. Beispiele für derartige aromatische Copolyamide finden sich in der DE-PS-2,556,883, in der DE-A-3,007,063, und in den EP-A-199,090, EP-A-364,891, EP-A-364,892, EP-A-364,893 und EP-A-424,860 beschrieben.In addition to such aromatic polyamides, due to their insolubility in polar organic solvents are difficult to prepare and process, Copolyamides were developed, which have a good solubility in the known Have amide solvents that can be well spin and their Filaments stretch after high strength values and initial moduli distinguished. Examples of such aromatic copolyamides can be found in the DE-PS-2,556,883, in DE-A-3,007,063, and in EP-A-199,090, EP-A-364,891, EP-A-364,892, EP-A-364,893 and EP-A-424,860.

Es wurde jetzt gefunden, daß die schon von Haus aus gute Schnittresistenz von Fasern aus derartigen Copolyamiden noch erheblich und über das erwartete Maß hinausgehend verbessert werden kann. Die Schnittresistenz derartiger Fasern, ermittelt nach der sogenannten Cut Protection Performance Test (CCP-Test), liegt üblicherweise mehr als ca. 8 % über derjenigen von Fasern aus unlöslichen Amiden.It has now been found that the already good cut resistance of Fibers from such copolyamides still significantly and beyond the expected level can be improved beyond. The cut resistance of such fibers, determined according to the so-called Cut Protection Performance Test (CCP test), is usually more than about 8% higher than that of insoluble fibers Amides.

Accept, Ar 2, Ar 3 and optionally Ar 3a are in each case different meanings within the scope of the given definitions, and the respective underlying the polymer monomer units are selected so that an organic solvent-soluble and preferably isotropic solutions forming aromatic polyamide is obtained.
