Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a filament having, after a water absorption treatment, a high maintenance rate of linear strength and a high maintenance rate of knot strength, and a fishing line. The filament contains a polyamide resin (A), and the polyamide resin (A) is constituted from a constituent unit derived from a diamine and a constituent unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid, and 70 mol % or more of the constituent units derived from a diamine are derived from xylylene diamine, and 70 mol % or more of the constituent units derived from a dicarboxylic acid are derived from an α,ω-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having from 11 to 14 carbons.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A filament comprising a polyamide resin (A), the polyamide resin (A) being constituted from a constituent unit derived from a diamine and a constituent unit derived from a dicarboxylic acid, and all of the constituent units derived from a diamine being derived from xylylene diamine or all of the constituent units derived from a diamine being derived from both xylylene diamine and a diamine other than xylylene diamine, where the diamine other than xylylene diamine is at least one kind of diamine selected from the group consisting of tetramethylene diamine, pentamethylene diamine, 2-methylpentane diamine, hexamethylene diamine, heptamethylene diamine, octamethylene diamine, nonamethylene diamine, decamethylene diamine, dodecamethylene diamine, 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diamine, 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, 1,3-diaminocyclohexane, 1,4-diaminocyclohexane, bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)propane, bis(aminomethyl)decalin, bis(aminomethyl)tricyclodecane, bis(4-aminophenyl)ether, p-phenylene diamine, and bis(aminomethyl)naphthalene, and 70 mol % or more of the constituent units derived from a dicarboxylic acid being derived from 1,12-dodecanedioic acid, and other constituent units derived from a dicarboxylic acid are derived from the group consisting of succinic acid, glutaric acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, adipic acid, phthalic acid compounds, and naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, wherein the filament is free from plasticizer, and wherein the xylylene diamine comprises from 10 to 90 mol % of meta-xylylene diamine and from 90 to 10 mol % of para-xylylene diamine, provided that a total of the meta-xylylene diamine and the para-xylylene diamine does not exceed 100 mol %. 2. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filament is stretched. 3. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the xylylene diamine comprises from 40 to 80 mol % of meta-xylylene diamine and from 60 to 20 mol % of para-xylylene diamine provided that a total of the meta-xylylene diamine and the para-xylylene diamine does not exceed 100 mol %. 4. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the xylylene diamine comprises from 51 to 75 mol % of meta-xylylene diamine and from 49 to 25 mol % of para-xylylene diamine, provided that a total of the meta-xylylene diamine and the para-xylylene diamine does not exceed 100 mol %. 5. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filament has a maintenance rate [(X 2 /X 1 )×100] of a linear strength X 2 after the filament has been immersed in 23° C. water for 336 hours with respect to a linear strength X 1 after the filament has been dried for 74 hours at 40° C. of 90% or more, with the linear strength being a value measured in accordance with JIS L 1013:2010. 6. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filament has a maintenance rate [(Y 2 /Y 1 )×100] of a knot strength Y 2 after the filament has been immersed in 23° C. water for 336 hours with respect to a knot strength Y 1 after the filament has been dried for 74 hours at 40° C. of 70% or more, with the knot strength being a value measured in accordance with JIS L 1013:2010. 7. A fishing line comprising the filament described in claim 1 . 8. The filament according to claim 2 , wherein the xylylene diamine comprises from 40 to 80 mol % of meta-xylylene diamine and from 60 to 20 mol % of para-xylylene diamine provided that a total of the meta-xylylene diamine and the para-xylylene diamine does not exceed 100 mol %. 9. The filament according to claim 2 , wherein the xylylene diamine comprises from 51 to 75 mol % of meta-xylylene diamine and from 49 to 25 mol % of para-xylylene diamine, provided that a total of the meta-xylylene diamine and the para-xylylene diamine does not exceed 100 mol %. 10. The filament according to claim 2 , wherein the filament has a maintenance rate [(X 2 /X 1 )×100] of a linear strength X 2 after the filament has been immersed in 23° C. water for 336 hours with respect to a linear strength X 1 after the filament has been dried for 74 hours at 40° C. of 90% or more, with the linear strength being a value measured in accordance with JIS L 1013:2010. 11. The filament according to claim 2 , wherein the filament has a maintenance rate [(Y 2 /Y 1 )×100] of a knot strength Y 2 after the filament has been immersed in 23° C. water for 336 hours with respect to a knot strength Y 1 after the filament has been dried for 74 hours at 40° C. of 70% or more, with the knot strength being a value measured in accordance with JIS L 1013:2010. 12. The filament according to claim 1 , wherein the filament has a maintenance rate [(X 2 /X 1 )×100] of a linear strength X 2 after the filament has been immersed in 23° C. water for 336 hours with respect to a linear strength X 1 after the filament has been dried for 74 hours at 40° C. of 90% or more, with the linear strength being a value measured in accordance with JIS L 1013:2010. 13.
