Abstract:
A bulky polyester multifilament composite yarn having a delicate hand and an appropriate bulkiness, which comprises two types of polyester filaments FA and FB differing from each other in average filament length, the FA being formed from a polyester resin containing 0.1 to 9.0% by mass of a micropore-forming agent (e.g., a polyoxyalkylene polyether, a metal organic sulfonate, a metal-containing phosphorus compound, and the like) and 0.5 to 5.0% by mass of a residual elongation improver (e.g., a polymer of methyl methacrylate, a polymer of a styrene compound, a polymer of a methylpentene compound, and the like) based on the mass of the polyester-resin, the FA having an average filament length that is from 1.07 to 1.40 times the average filament length of the FB, and the FA forming the peripheral portion of the composite yarn.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an “identifying marker” which is essentially impossible or extremely difficult to produce by imitators, “an identifying method for the identifying marker”, “an identifying system for the identifying marker” and “a method of providing an identification service”, offering highly precise identifying power which allows identification of counterfeit articles, while being flexibly adaptable to product or service forms provided by providers of products and services and attachable to the products or services even by the providers, while also allowing identification to be easily accomplished by the providers using simple identification means.
Abstract:
A novel conjugate fiber with a fine and an optical interference color-generating function, suitable for application in product fields which require aesthetic qualities, the fiber being characterized by having a structure wherein an alkali-soluble polymer with a thickness of 2.0 μm or greater surrounds an alternating laminated section with a thickness of no greater than 10 μm, comprising alkali-insoluble polymer layers with different refractive indices alternately laminated parallel to the long axis direction of the flat cross-section, wherein the ratio (SP1/SP2) between the solubility parameter value of the higher refractive index polymer (SP1) and the solubility parameter value of the lower refractive index polymer (SP2) is in the range of 0.8-1.1.
Abstract:
A polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) filament yarn capable of being produced by a high speed spinning method and having a high residual elongation and excellent draw-false twisting processability includes 0.5 to 4.0% by mass of filament elongation enhancing agent particles which are drawn-oriented in the filaments along the longitudinal direction thereof and have a thermal deformation temperature of 40° C. or more but less than 105° C., an average particle size D of 0.03 to 0.35 &mgr;m determined in the cross-sections of the filaments and a ratio L/D of the average particle length L in the filament longitudinal direction to the average cross-sectional particle size D of 2 to 20; and the filament yarn exhibits an increase in the residual elongation of 30% or more due to the presence of the filament elongation enhancing agent, a birefringence &Dgr;n of 0.02 to 0.07, a retaining elongation of 60 to 250% and a thermal stress peak value of 0.18 cN/dtex or less.
Abstract:
A polyester filament yarn made by treating a polyester filament with an aqueous alkali solution, which filament is composed of a core extending over the length of filament and a plurality of fins bonded to the core over the length of the core and radially extending from the core, and which satisfies the following three requirements: (1) 1/20.ltoreq.SB/SA.ltoreq.1/3, (2) 0.6.ltoreq.LB/DA.ltoreq.3.0, and (3) WB/DA.ltoreq.1/4 wherein SA and DA are cross-sectional area and diameter of the core, and SB, LB and WB are cross-sectional area, maximum length and maximum width of the fins, respectively. The fins are at least partially separated from the core by the alkali treatment. A fabric composed of the filament yarn has soft touch and feeling, high bulkiness and uniform appearance.

Abstract:
A texturized, combined polyester multifilament yarn formed from two types of polyester multifilaments FYA and FYB different in polymer chemical composition from each other and appropriately intermingled with each other, in which yarn, the multifilaments FYB have an average filament length in straightened form of 8 to 40% longer than that of the multifilaments FYA, the coefficient of variation (CVA) of the filament length of FYA is 3% or less, and coefficient of variation (CVB−A) in difference between the individual filament lengths of the FYB and the average filament length of the FYA is 10 to 20%. The yarn exhibits a high bulkiness and a large filament yarn difference and is free from slippage between the sheath FYB layer and the core FYA portion.
