Saxony carpet containing a pile yarn comprising propylene polymer yarn of increased resiliency and shrinkage, compared to crystalline propylene homopolymer yarn, having a continuous strand of multiple monofilament fibers, said fibers consisting essentially of certain propylene polymer blends and materials.

Resilient high shrinkage propylene polymer yarn and articles made

Fabric prepared from a propylene polymer yarn of increased resiliency and shrinkage, compared to crystalline propylene homopolymer yarn, comprising a strand of multiple monofilament fibers, the fibers consisting essentially of certain propylene polymer blends and materials.

Resilient, high shrinkage propylene polymer yarn and articles made

Disclosed is a polyolefin yarn capable of increased resiliency and shrinkage comprising continuous strands of multiple monofilament fibers or staple fibers of propylene polymer material, optionally blended with polypropylene homopolymer, said propylene polymer material selected from the group consisting of terpolymers of propylene with ethylene and C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin; compositions of copolymers of propylene with C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin together with copolymers of propylene and ethylene or terpolymers of propylene-ethylene-C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin; compositions of terpolymers of propylene, ethylene and C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin in combination with copolymers of propylene and C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin and copolymers of ethylene and C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin; random crystalline propylene copolymers with ethylene or a C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alpha-olefin; and a heterophasic polyolefin composition; and fabric, especially pile fabric, such as carpeting, produced therefrom.

Resilient, high strinkage propylene polymer yarn and articles made

Polyolefin yarn capable of increased shrinkage comprising continuous strand of multiple monofilament fibers or staple fibers of propylene polymer material consisting essentially of at least about 5 parts by weight, but less than 50 parts by weight of syndiotactic propylene polymer having a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more, blended with crystalline isotactic propylene polymer, each propylene polymer material independently selected from the group consisting of:
