No. 30,732, now abandoned, No. 124,346 and No. 212,119 there has been described a process for preparing basic nitrogen polycondensates by reacting (in the presence or absence of solvents and condensing agents) one or more primary C C or secondary C -C aliphatic amines with epichlorohydrin, this first condensation being followed by a further condensation with one or more aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic-bis secondary diamines.
The preparation of shaped articles including textile fibers from mixes containing these polycondensates and of polyolefins prepared with the aid of stereospecific catalysts (see, for example, Italian Patent No. 526,101), more particularly polypropylene has also been described in the above applications.
Processes used for obtaining, for example, textile fibers, in general, comprise:
(1) Mixing the polycondensate (for example, 125% with respect to the total mix) with the polyolefin, employing any conventional known procedure;
(2) Granulating the mix obtained according to 1), in a screw device at temperatures of 170300 C., in order to render the mix suitable for feeding into spinning devices; (it being known that the use of rough powdered mixtures, in fact, make the feeding operation irregular and therefore detrimentally affects the spinning step);
(3) The extrusion of the resulting granulate in a melt spinning device through spinnerets having holes with a length/ diameter ratio preferably higher than 1, and winding the spinning filament;
(4) Stretching and spinning the filaments obtained in (3).
Various polycondensates, however, when they are subjected to the drastic thermal treatment needed for the granulation and spinning (stages 2 and 3 above) are altered thereby exhibiting a decrease in their molecular weight and a certain discoloration.
It has been now surprisingly found according to the present invention, that the thermal decomposition of dyeable basic nitrogen polycondensates can be avoided by eliminating the mix granulation stage, and, by sintering the polycondensate-polyolefin mix at temperatures between 20 and 170 C.
By carrying out this procedure, it is possible to obtain the mixes in the form of granules which can be fed to the spinning screws in a regular and homogeneous manner and which do not easily disintegrate.
In order to produce these sintered granules, any suitable continuous or discontinuous apparatus capable of supplying heat may be employed for the sintering step.
In the preparation of dyeable textile fibers from crystalline polyolefins, such as polypropylene containing predominant amounts (more than 50%) of isotactic macromolecules, it is convenient to prepare a mix rich in the basic nitrogen polycondensate, and then sinter this mix. Subsequently the polycondensate-rich granules are extruded or spun after adding thereto the amount of granular polyolefin needed to achieve the desired amount of polycondensates in the textile fibers.
According to the present invention, 150% of polycondensate may be mixed with 50-99% of polyolefin.
The method of the present invention, more particularly, 1
may be applied to mixes of polyolefins and basic nitrogen polycondensates obtained by reacting (in the presence or absence of solvents and condensing agents) (1) epichlorohydrin, (2) one or more primary C C or secondary C C aliphatic amines and then subjecting the condensation product to a further condensation with one or more aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic secondary diamines. These condensates show generally a softening point under C., an intrinsic viscosity (determined in a 1% isopropanol solution) of 005-05 and a nitrogen content up to 35%.
Mixes of polypropylene with polycondensates of octodecylamine, epichlorohydrin and piperazine are of particular interest.
The shaped articles such as fibers are then prepared by extruding the granules sintered according to the invention. The mixes to be extruded contain polyolefins, from 1 to 25% by weight of the nitrogen polycondensate and, if desired, 0.1 to 5% of a solid dispersing agent for dispersing the nitrogen condensate in the molten mass. Suitable solid dispersing agents include: cetyl and stearyl alcohols, stearic acid, benzoin, furoin, vinyl stearate, mono-, dior tristearic esters of glycerol, monoethanolamine stearate, stearic amide, C to C aliphatic amines, condensation products of ethylene oxide with alcohols, amines or phenols, polystearamide, polyacrylic acid, polystyrene, styrene copolymers, terpene polymers, etc.
The sintering and spinning operations according to the present invention may be conveniently carried out under oxygen-free nitrogen.
The fibers produced may be in the form of monoor pluro-filaments and can be employed for preparing continuous fibers or staples or for preparing either bulky yarns or staples.
The monoor plum-filaments prepared according to the present invention can be subjected to treatments for the water-insolubilization of the basic nitrogen compound. Particularly useful for this purpose are the treatments with formaldehyde, diisocyanates, diepoxy compounds or various cross-linking agents such as divinyl benzene or the like. These treatments may be carried out either before or after stretching.
The stretching is preferably executed using ratios between 1:2 and 1:10 at temperatures between 80 and C. in stretching devices heated with hot air, steam or similar fluids.
The fibers thus obtained can be dyed with acid dyes or with plastosoluble dyes. They also exhibit a good aflinity for basic and vat dyestuffs.
The sintered granules prepared according to the present invention are also suitable for extrusion into films, tapes and various other shaped articles.
The present invention is applicable topolyolefins, particularly polyolefins prepared by the stereospecific polymerization of alpha-olefins of the formula H H RC=G wherein R is a hydrocarbon radical. Stereospecific catalysts such as those disclosed by Natta et a1. or shown in Italina Patent 526,101, are examples of suitable catalysts. A
Shaped articles, especially fibers obtained from polyproylene containing predominant amounts (more than 50%) of isotactic macromolecules are of particular interest.
