Method for manufacturing poly(ethyleneterephthalate) drawn fiber, poly(ethyleneterephthalate) drawn fiber and tire-cord
Disclosed are a method for manufacturing a drawn fiber, which is suitable for manufacturing a poly(ethylene terephthalate) drawn fiber showing superior strength and dimensional stability and having a high fineness of 2000 denier or more without breakage or reduction in physical properties during the manufacturing process, and a poly(ethylene terephthalate) drawn fiber and a tire-cord obtained therefrom.
1. A method for manufacturing a poly(ethylene terephthalate) drawn fiber, comprising the steps of:
adding a polyamide-based resin to a polymer including 90 mol % or more of poly(ethylene terephthalate), wherein the polyamide-base resin is added in an amount of 0.1 to 2.0 wt % based on the weight of the poly(ethylene terephthalate);
melt-spinning the polyamide-based resin-added polymer mixture through a spinneret at a speed of 2500 to 4000 m/min in a three- or four-ply spinning manner so as to produce an undrawn fiber having a fineness of 2000 denier or more; and
drawing the undrawn fiber with a drawing ratio of 1.4 to 2.4,
wherein the polymer including 90 mol % or more of poly(ethylene terephthalate) has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.8 to 1.5, and
wherein the polyamide-based resin includes nylon 6 or nylon 66.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the melt-spinning process is performed under a spinning tension of 0.3 to 0.8 g/d.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the undrawn fiber has crystallinity of 10 to 30% and coefficient of variation of 8% or less in the sectional area.
