Abstract
Disclosed is a 3-D crimp polyethylene terephthalate multifilament (BCF) having a stress-strain curve that (a) it elongates less than 5.0% when subjected to an initial stress of 1.0 g/d, (b) it has an initial modulus of 20 to 60 g/d, (c) it elongates at least 20% when subjected to a stress region of 1.0 to 2.5 g/d and (d) it elongates from a tensile strength of at least 3.0 g/d to the tensile strength at break. The BCF has improved physical properties such as excellent flame retardancy, high toughness, improved crimp uniformity and improved compressive elasticity modulus.
