Preparation and properties of anti-wicking finish oils for polyester DTY
Using soybean oil alkyd resin as the film-forming agent and the main anti-wicking component of finish oil combined with various additives,an anti-wicking finish oil FM-301 for polyester drawn textured yarn(DTY)was prepared and used for the trial spinning of 72 dtex/72 f polyester DTY.The basic properties,application performance and anti-wicking performance of the finish oil were explored and compared with those of the domestic finish oil HY-202GA.The results showed that the basic proper-ties of FM-301 was slightly better than those of HY-202GA,and FM-301 had better anti-splash property,wettability and anti-static properties;FM-301,not much different from HY-202GA in the application performance,had good spinnability and contrib-uted the good post weaving processing performance to the produced polyester DTY;the oil loss was only 0.7%and the yarn cake had no yellowing or odor phenomenon after polyester DTY oiled with FM-301 was stored in a constant temperature and humidity box for 7 d;the oil loss reached as high as 32%and the yarn cake turned yellow with a slight odor after polyester DTY oiled with HY-202GA was stored for 7 d;and FM-301 provided much higher anti-wicking performance and better antioxidant properties and yellowing resistance compared with HY-202GA.
