Abstract
Abstract Regenerated cellulose fibers having very good flameproofness are obtained by adding a polyphosphonate having the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 is ethylene or propylene; R 2 and R 3 are methyl or ethyl which may be the same or different; R 4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group in which the alkyl substituent has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms in said alkyl and aralkyl groups may be substituted with chlorine or bromine; R 5 is an aromatic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or an unsaturated or saturated aliphatic or alicyclic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or a combination thereof and R 5 may contain carbonyl group, sulfonyl group or nitrogen; X is halogen, and n is an integer from 1 to 1000, to a viscose and then spinning the viscose by conventionally accepted procedures. The retention of the polyphosphonate flameproofing agent in the fibers can be markedly increased by this procedure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A method for producing regenerated cellulose fibers having excellent flameproofness, which comprises: adding a polyphosphonate represented by formula (1) ##STR8## wherein R 1 is ethylene or propylene; R 2 and R 3 are methyl or ethyl which may be the same or different; R 4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group in which the alkyl substituent has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms in said alkyl and aralkyl groups may be substituted with chlorine or bromine; R 5 is an unsaturated or saturated aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or combinations of said groups defining R 5 and R 5 may be a carbonyl group, or sulfonyl group containing substituent; X is halogen, and n is an integer from 1 to 1000, to a viscose in an amount of 5 to 40% by weight of the cellulose contained in the viscose; and then spinning the viscose in a coagulation bath.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
166 words
A method for producing regenerated cellulose fibers having excellent flameproofness, which comprises: adding a polyphosphonate represented by formula (1) ##STR8## wherein R 1 is ethylene or propylene; R 2 and R 3 are methyl or ethyl which may be the same or different; R 4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group in which the alkyl substituent has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms in said alkyl and aralkyl groups may be substituted with chlorine or bromine; R 5 is an unsaturated or saturated aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or combinations of said groups defining R 5 and R 5 may be a carbonyl group, or sulfonyl group containing substituent; X is halogen, and n is an integer from 1 to 1000, to a viscose in an amount of 5 to 40% by weight of the cellulose contained in the viscose; and then spinning the viscose in a coagulation bath.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said polyphosphonate is dissolved in a viscose containing 4 to 10% by weight of cellulose and 3 to 8% by weight of an alkali, and having a salt point of 5 to 20 and a viscosity of 40 to 500 poises.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said polyphosphonate is dissolved in a viscose containing 5 to 8% by weight of cellulose and 3 to 5% by weight of alkali, and having a salt point of 12 to 20 and a viscosity of 100 to 400 poises.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said viscose is spun into a coagulation bath containing 10 to 120 g/l of sulfuric acid, 20 to 350 g/l of sodium sulfate, and 0 to 150 g/l of zinc sulfate at 10° to 70° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method of claim 4, wherein the viscose is spun into a coagulation bath containing 10 to 30 g/l of sulfuric acid, 20 to 100 g/l of sodium sulfate, and 0.1 to 0.6 g/l of zinc sulfate at 10° to 30° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1, wherein tris-2-chloroethyl phosphite is additionally dissolved in said viscose.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said polyphosphonate is dissolved in a solvent selected from the group consisting of methylchloroform, dichloroethane, and carbon tetrachloride and the solution obtained is added to said viscose.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method of claim 1, wherein filaments withdrawn from said coagulation bath are stretched by 30 to 150% in a second bath containing 0 to 30 g/l of sulfuric acid at 70° to 100° C.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 8, wherein said filaments withdrawn from said coagulation bath are stretched by 60 to 110% in a second bath containing 0.5 to 15 g/l of sulfuric acid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
53 words
The method of claim 1, wherein filaments withdrawn from said coagulation bath are stretched by 30 to 150% in air and then treated in an aqueous bath containing not more than 15 g/l of sulfuric acid at 50° to 100° C while maintaining the filaments at the lengths to which they were stretched.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
