Preparation of a fluorocarbon compound used to make a soil-resistant yarn is improved by removing most of the impurities from the fluoro-carbon compound mass with heat and vacuum after the final washing step and then adding an emulsifier to the fluorocarbon compound mass so that the mass can be handled as a liquid concentrate rather than a tacky solid.

Method of preparation of fluorocarbon compounds

This invention relates to method and apparatus to intermittently apply a treating fluid to a wad of yarn in a texturing device comprising intermittently injecting the fluid under pressure into at least one port at the texturing device and impregnating the yarn with the fluid for a period long enough for the fluid to coat, react, or bond with the yarn. Continuous injection can be used for chemically reactive agents, which do not affect yarn coloration.

The method of this invention comprises the improvement of using an open frame skein carrier with arms to loosely hang the yarn skeins. This allows a shorter total heat-setting time; eliminates kinks, and improves bulk and bulk uniformity of the yarn.

Method for heat-setting synthetic yarn

In stuffer box crimping of yarn, yarn is forced into a crimping chamber to form a wad and discharged with a discharge control being varied in response to sensing the position of the wad at the exit of the crimping chamber. The improvement of this invention comprises sensing the position of the yarn wad in the crimping chamber by issuing at least one jet of a fluid aligned to issue across the exit of crimping chamber and receiving the jet in an enlarged orifice communicating with a pressure sensor controller so the yarn wad unfolding point is sensed by interrupting the jet of fluid to thereby regulate the discharge controller with the pressure sensor controller.
