An apparatus and method for processing a synthetic yarn includes at least a one sensor for generating a signal representative of the actual velocity of the yarn at a point intermediate an upstream and the downstream rolls. The temperature of the upstream roll in accordance with the variation between the actual velocity of the yarn at the measurement point and a predetermined reference velocity. A second sensor may be provided to generate a signal representative of the actual velocity of the yarn at a second point intermediate the rolls. The controller may regulate the temperature of the upstream roll in accordance with the variation between the actual velocity at each measurement point and a predetermined reference velocity for that measurement point. Alternatively, the controller may regulate the temperature of the upstream roll in accordance with a relationship (e.g., the ratio) between the actual velocities as compared to a predetermined reference relationship (as, the ratio) representative of the relationship of the velocities of the upstream and downstream rolls, and the variation between the actual and reference velocities at at least one of the measurement points.

Draw point control arrangement

An apparatus that includes speed, temperature, tension, position and pressure sensors on a BCF yarn spinning machine in connection with a digital computer incorporates models in the computer which predict yarn bulk and dyeability properties as a function of sensor inputs: hot roll temperature, bulking jet temperature, ladder guide tension, relative viscosity, draw zone tension, Hall-effect Watt-meter measuring the power consumption of the spinning pump, finish roll speed, takeup roll speed, wind up speed and wind up tension.

Method for determining level of bulk and control thereof

A durable antisoiling coating composition for textile filaments comprises a perfluoroalkyl ester of a citric acid urethane and fluorinated alcohols in combination with a modified epoxy resin which is the reaction product of a carboxyl-functional vinyl polymer, an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine. The composition can be applied as an aqueous dispersion, including a non-ionic textile lubricant based on poly(ethylene glycol).

Durable antisoiling coatings for textile filaments

A durable antisoiling coating composition for textile filaments and articles made therefrom comprises a perfluoroalkyl ester of a citric acid urethane and fluorinated alcohols in combination with a modified epoxy resin which is the reaction product of a carboxyl-functional vinyl polymer, an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine. The composition can be applied as an aqueous dispersion, including a non-ionic textile lubricant based on poly(ethylene glycol). The dispersion can be used as a spin finish to provide durable protection to filaments, particularly nylon filaments.
