Abstract

See full text

Polyethylene terephthalate yarn is prepared by spinning under very high-stress conditions wherein oriented-crystalline undrawn yarns are obtained. Selection of process parameters yields a partially oriented semicrystalline undrawn yarn with a crystallinity of 16 to 24 percent and a melting point elevation of 14.degree. to 22.degree. C. which is drawn to produce the resulting unique combination of properties: (A) a terminal modulus of at least 20 g/d, (B) a dimensional stability defined by E.sub.4.5 +FS<11.5 percent, (C) a tenacity of at least 5 grams per denier, (D) a melting point elevation of 14.degree. to 22.degree. C., preferably 17.degree. to 20.degree. C., and (E) an amorphous orientation function of less than 0.75. The resulting treated tire cord unexpectedly provides high ultimate elongation and high toughness in combination with improved dimensional stability.
