Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing cotton warp yarns having an inverse denim effect, which comprises using an indigo dyeing range to perform a dyeing step whereby the cotton warp yarn is through-dyed with indigo in one pass at a dyeing temperature of 30 to 90° C. and an indigo concentration of 5-500 g/l and a subsequent bleaching step whereby the indigo is selectively decolorized on the surface of the cotton warp yarn.
Description
- The present invention concerns a process for producing indigo-dyed cotton warp yarns which have an inverse denim effect and also textile articles comprising such cotton warp yarns.
- Denim refers to a relatively coarse woven cotton fabric which was originally used for robust workwear, but today is used particularly for manufacturing fashionable jeans articles. The warp yarns needed to produce denim can be dyed with indigo or else with sulfur dyes, especially sulfur black, although dyeing to blue with indigo is greatly predominant.
- Traditionally, the warp yarn is dyed with indigo as a rope or as a warp yarn sheet on specific dyeing ranges which consist of a combination of one or more troughs with squeeze rolls and a subsequent skying sector. The reduced dye is applied in the troughs and oxidized in the skying sector (see for example Technical Information TI/T 017 d from BASF AG dated June 1995, title: Continuous dyeing with indigo).
- The dyeing is typically carried out in a dyebath at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures of about 20-35° C., a pH of about 10.5 to 14 and an indigo concentration of about 0.5 to 10 g/l. Wetting agents in a concentration of about 0.1 to 5 g/l can be used as well. A redox potential in the dyebath is maintained by using an excess of hydrosulfite reducing agent in amounts of about 0.1 to 5 g/l. The yarn contact time with the dyebath is generally 8 to 30 seconds per pass. Dyeing in multiple passes, i.e., the repeated application of dye from the dyebath by dipping with subsequent squeezeoff in the dyeing trough and the following skying, makes it possible to achieve deeper shades (see for example ITB Veredlung 2/90, title: Indigo-Färberei: Verfahrens-und maschinentechnische Lösungen, author: Dipl. Ing. L. Haas).
- German Patent Application DE 196 29 985 describes single-pass dyeing wherein, to overcome the low affinity of indigo, the dyebath additionally has added to it salt in the form of sodium chloride in order that an electrolyte concentration of 200 to 350 g/l may be set.
- These processes all produce a so-called ring dyeing, i.e., the fiber is dyed at the surface only, leaving the interior of the fiber, the core, undyed. Ring dyeing makes it possible to endow made-up denim articles with a high-contrast appearance in particular washing and/or bleaching processes through a wash-down of the initially dark blue fabric. An example is the familiar stone-wash effect, which is achieved by washing the made-up article with enzymes and pumice stones.
- However, jeans fashion is now demanding articles which no longer exhibit this wash-down effect or modifications achieved utilizing this effect. On the contrary, the demand is for articles which turn darker in washing or other treatment operations rather than lighter. These articles are so to speak to behave inversely to conventionally dyed denim.
- Prior art ring-dyed denim cannot provide such effects.
- There is consequently a need for a process for producing inverse denim that shall be economical in that it should not require additional cost and an inconvenience on the part of dyers, but should be simple to carry out, ideally in dyers' existing dyeing equipment.
- The present invention, then, provides such a process.
- The present invention relates to a process for producing cotton warp yarns having an inverse denim effect, which comprises using an indigo dyeing range to perform
-
- a dyeing step whereby the cotton warp yarn is through-dyed with indigo in one pass at a dyeing temperature of 30 to 90° C. and an indigo concentration of 5-500 g/l and
- a subsequent bleaching step or etching step, etching here to be understood as meaning a treatment of a dyed surface wherein the dye is locally destroyed, as described by M. Peter, H. K. Rouette in “Grundlagen der Textilveredlung” page 633 et seq., whereby the indigo is selectively decolorized on the surface of the cotton warp yarn. This selective decolorization can in principle be carried out oxidatively or reductively, oxidative decolorization being preferred.
- The process of the invention thus ideally provides a colorless product which can be modified to be dark blue by removing the colorless ring and laying the colored core bare.
- An indigo dyeing range in the realm of the present invention is a range which consists of one dyeing trough or a combination of multiple dyeing troughs with squeeze rolls and subsequent skying sectors (see for example ITB Veredlung 2/90, title: Indigo-Färberei: Verfahrens-und maschinentechnische Lösungen, author: Dipl. Ing. L. Haas).
- Any commercially available indigo may be used. Indigo is preferably used in amounts of 10-50 g/l and more preferably in amounts of 20 to 40 g/l.
- It is particularly advantageous to use pre-reduced indigo to carry out the process of the invention. The pre-reduced indigo used is ideally produced from indigo without use of reducing agent, such as sodium dithionite for example, but by catalytic hydrogenation. It is most advantageous to use indigo in the form of a leuco indigo solution as described for example in EP 1 097 184 B1 and offered on the market by DyStar Textilfarben GmbH & Co. Deutschland KG.
- To stabilize leuco indigo, i.e., to back-reduce leuco indigo which has become oxidized in the dyebath, it is preferable to use a hydrosulfite excess of 0.1 to 5 g/l and more preferably 0.2 to 2 g/l. It will be appreciated that in lieu of the hydrosulfite it is possible to use other suitable reducing agents, for example glucose or hydroxyacetone, or else combinations of various reducing agents such as glucose/hydrosulfite.
- The temperature at which the process of the invention is carried out is preferably 30-90° C. and more preferably in the range from 50 to 70° C.
- The process of the invention can be carried out with or without wetting agent, but preferably it is carried out in the presence of a wetting agent. Examples of suitable wetting agents are anionic wetting agents, for example fatty alcohol ethoxylate, alkanesulfonate, sulfosuccinate, alkyl phosphate or paraffins and hydrocarbons or else mixtures thereof, and most preference is given to using salts of phosphoric esters. The amounts in which the wetting agents mentioned are used are preferably in the range from 5 to 50 g/l and more preferably in the range from 10 to 25 g/l.
- Dyebath pH in the process of the invention is preferably in the range from 10.5 to 13.5.
- The process of the invention surprisingly leads in just one pass to yarns which are through-dyed, i.e., dyed in the core as well in the surface region. The contact time with the dyebath is preferably 8 to 30 seconds and more preferably 15 to 20 seconds. The subsequent skying takes preferably 90 to 130 seconds and more preferably 100 to 110 seconds.
- The dyeing step is followed by a bleaching step wherein the indigo is selectively decolorized on the surface of the cotton warp yarn, leaving the core of the yarn unchanged.
- Useful bleaching agents include all systems which oxidize indigo, for example hypochlorites, such as sodium hypochlorite or permanganate. But preference is given in particular to permanganate, which exists for example in the form of an alkali metal salt and more preferably in the form of potassium permanganate. Very particular preference is given to a bleaching bath which contains potassium permanganate in an alkaline medium, the potassium permanganate being used in amounts which are preferably from 5 to 100 g/l and more preferably from 20 to 50 g/l.
- The pH is preferably in the range from 8 to 10 and can be set for example with NaOH, for example with 38° Bé NaOH.
- It is preferable to adjust the bleaching bath to a viscosity of about 12 to 50 seconds measured using a Ford cup (DIN 53211-4) and more preferably 25 to 45 seconds by means of viscosity moderators. Useful viscosity moderators include for example rheological additives such as: polyvinylcaprolactam, polyvinylpyrrolidone and also copolymers thereof, polyetherpolyol, associative thickeners, polyurea, polyurethane, sodium alginates, modified galactomannans, polyetherurea, polyurethane, nonionic cellulose ethers.
- The bleaching step is carried out at 15 to 90° C. and preferably at room temperature. The contact time with the bleaching bath is preferably 10 to 30 seconds and more preferably 12 to 20 seconds.
- In a preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, the through-dyeing of the cotton warp yarn in the dyeing step is followed by rinsing with water, bleaching with permanganate, another rinse and a subsequent treatment with a bisulfite solution and the cycle of bleaching, rinsing and treating with bisulfite is repeated at least once.
- It is particularly advantageous for there to be four to six cycles of bleaching, rinsing and treating with bisulfite.
- An intervening drying between dyeing step and bleaching can be used to further enhance the ring effect achieved by the bleaching.
- The rinsing between bleaching bath and bisulfite bath can be carried out in 1 to 3 passes and be associated with a skying of 0 to 120 seconds.
- The bisulfite bath preferably contains 10 to 100 g/l and more preferably 20 to 50 g/l of bisulfite. The bisulfite bath can likewise be followed by a skying of 0 to 120 seconds.
- It is a particular advantage to dyers that the dyeing step of the process according to the invention is complete after just one pass. This is because this leaves dyers with the option of using the other dyeing troughs of the indigo dyeing range which are not needed for dyeing to carry out the subsequent bleaching step with or without rinsing and with or without bisulfite treatment. Thus, the equipment needs to be modified only minimally, if at all.
- The cotton warp yarns dyed by the process of the invention can be subjected to further treatment steps to obtain certain effects and then be conventionally woven up and processed into textile articles for the consumer, such as garments in particular.
- However, it is also possible for the dyed and surface-bleached cotton warp yarns to be processed into textile articles without further treatment and, if desired, only then to undertake further treatment steps, i.e., to modify the already made-up merchandise. It is of course similarly possible to subject not only the dyed and bleached cotton warp yarns but also the textile articles produced therefrom to further treatment steps.
- The cotton warp yarns dyed by the process of the invention can of course also be woven up, and further processed into articles for the consumer, in admixture with further materials. Blends with elastane may be mentioned by way of example.
- The inverse denim effect of the cotton warp yarns dyed and bleached according to the invention can be made visible, for example, by removing the undyed outer ring of the yarn through washing or some other mechanical stressor and the dark-dyed core coming to light as a result.
- In a further implementation of the process according to the invention, the cotton warp yarn surface decolorized in the bleaching step is stabilized in a third step. Thus, the inverse denim effect can be reinforced by treating the surface with for example TiO2 in the presence of binders, such as acrylate copolymer or polyurethane. In the same way, the surface can be modified not just to be white but also to be colored, for example with colored pigments, such as vat dyes in pigment form, or else disperse dyes.
- It is of course also possible for the third step mentioned not to be carried out until after the cotton warp yarn has been woven up, for example on the final made-up textile product.
- The present invention also provides textile articles comprising cotton warp yarns dyed by the process of the invention. Examples of such textile articles are denim fabrics which have not been made up, but in particular garments such as pants, skirts, shirts, jackets, etc. or other textile type articles.
