Abstract
Abstract FILAMENTS AND FIBERS MADE FROM HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT SYNTHETIC LINEAR POLYESTERS HAVE A METALLIC GOLDEN ASPECT WHEN THESE CONTAIN FROM 0.001 TO 0.01% BY WEIGHT OF NIOBIUM BASED ON INCORPORATED NIOBIUM PENTOXIDE. SUCH FILAMENTS AND FIBERS ARE PREFERABLY OBTAINED BY ADDING NIOBIUM PENTOXIDE HYDRATE HAVING A DETERMINED WATER CONTENT DURING THE NORMAL POLYESTER PREPARATION PROCESS IN AN AMOUNT WHICH YIELDS A NIOBIUM CONTENT OF FROM 0.001 TO 0.01% BY WEIGHT IN THE POLYESTER END PRODUCT, AND BY SUBSEQNENTLY PROCESSING THE POLYESTER SO OBTAINED BY MELT SPINNING. ESPECIALLY MONOFILAMENTS HAVING A GOLDEN SHADE ARE USED AS FASTENING LINKS OF ZIPPERS.
