Abstract

A method of making polyurethane or polyurethane urea strands containing siloxane in the polyurethane or polyurethane urea backbone including the steps of: (a) reacting a macroglycol with a diisocyanate to form a prepolymer; (b) reacting the prepolymer with a diamine to form a spinning solution; (c) spinning the spinning solution to form polyurethane or polyurethane urea strands, wherein: i. a diol-polydimethylsiloxane is reacted with the macroglycol and the diisocyanate in step (a); ii. a diamine-polydimethylsiloxane is reacted with the prepolymer prior to the reaction of the prepolymer with the diamine in step (b); or iii. a diamine-polydimethylsiloxane is reacted at the same time as the prepolymer and diamine in step (b), and wherein the polyurethane or polyurethane urea strands comprise less than or equal to 6% of siloxane by weight based on the weight of the polyurethane or polyurethane urea strands and elastic fibers made thereby. An elastic fiber including two or more polyurethane or polyurethane urea strands including siloxane in the polyurethane or polyurethane urea backbone that are bundled together, wherein the siloxane is present in an amount of greater than or equal to 0.01% and less than or equal to 4.0% by weight based on the weight of the fiber. In some aspects, the siloxane is free of urethane radicals.

Abstract

A rolling guide for a fiber strand comprises a first support member extending from a base of the roller guide to a compound joint having first and second portions. The first portion of the compound joint is mounted on the first support member for rotation around a first axis. The second portion of the compound joint being rotatable relative to the first portion around a second axis at a compound angle to the first axis. A second support member is connected with the second portion of the compound joint at a proximal end of the second support member. A channeled roller is carried on the second support member distally from the proximal end, and mounted for rotation around a third axis. The channeled roller has an annular channel formed therein. A fastener is provided to selectively prevent the second portion of the compound joint from rotating around the second axis relative to the first portion of the compound joint. Also provided according to the present disclosure is a method of guiding one or more fiber strands from a fiber package on a creel device to a destination location for further processing.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for preparing a foam that includes a polyurethaneurea dispersion. These foams have enhanced flexibility and resistance to compressibility compared to convention polyurethane foam. These foams may also be made by a reaction injection molding process. The method includes preparing a shaped polyurethane foam article by: (a) providing a first composition comprising at least one polyol, a chain extender composition and a blowing agent; (b) providing a second composition comprising at least one of a diisocyanate, a capped glycol, and combinations thereof; (c) mixing the first composition and the second composition to form a reaction mixture into a heated mold; and (d) allowing the reaction mixture to form a polyurethane foam; wherein the first composition includes one of: (i) the chain extender composition includes at least one amine compound; (ii) the blowing agent includes a polyurethaneurea aqueous dispersion; and (iii) combinations of (i) and (ii).

Abstract

Included are multiple component elastic fibers prepared by a solution-spinning process such as dry spinning or wet spinner of spandex fibers including polyurethaneurea and polyurethane compositions. These fibers have a cross-section including at least two separate regions with definable boundaries wherein at least one region defined by the boundaries of the cross-section includes a polyurethaneurea or polyurethane composition. One region of the fiber includes a fusibility improvement additive to enhance adhesion to itself or to a substrate.

Abstract

When elastomeric yarns are unwound and fed to the needles of a circular knitting apparatus, a yarn package relaxation profile is set, or determined, with corresponding adjustments made to the unwinding speed based on such package relaxation profile. Variably compensating for a varying package relaxation while knitting results in more uniform properties in a circular knit fabric and improved elastomeric yarn yield.
