Spinnerette including a plate including a plurality of capillaries which have capillary ends with dividers which divide each capillary end into a plurality of openings, and a process of making polymeric fiber. The process includes passing a molten polymer through a spinnerette comprising a plurality of capillaries which have capillary ends with dividers which divide each capillary end into a plurality of openings so that the molten polymer is formed into separate polymeric fibers for each opening or the molten polymer is formed into partially split fiber for each capillary, and quenching the molten polymer to form polymeric fiber.

Abstract:
Process and apparatus for spinning polymer filaments permits the obtaining of skin-core filament structure by feeding a polymer composition to a spinnerette at a flow rate sufficient to obtain a spinning speed of about 10 to 200 meters per minute through the spinnerette; heating the polymer composition at a location at or adjacent to the spinnerette so as to heat the polymer composition to a sufficient temperature to obtain a skin-core filament structure upon quenching in an oxidative atmosphere; extruding the heated polymer composition through the spinnerette at a spinning speed of about 10 to 200 meters per minute to form molten filaments; and quenching the molten filaments in an oxidative atmosphere so as to effect oxidative chain scission degradation of at least a surface of the molten filaments to obtain filaments having a skin-core structure.

US Classification:
65 14
Abstract:
An annular blower which has an internal baffle. The blower is used to attenuate glass fibers centrifuged from a spinner in a rotary fiberizer process. The internal baffle directs and uniforms gas flow in the blower and decreases turbulent flow conditions in the gas flowing from the periphery of the blower.
