Abstract

Increased molecular weight and branching agents are used in melt spinning partially oriented nylon 66. The fiber solidifies more rapidly during spinning and has larger crystallites and increased elongation-to-break versus conventional PON, consistent with a stress-induced crystallization mechanism. When textured, the fiber produces higher crimp. Gains in both spinning and texturing productivity are documented.
