Description

DESCRIPTION
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PROCESSED FIBER, PROCESSED FIBER, METHOD FOR SUPPRESSING DAMAGE TO ANIMAL FIBER, AND
METHOD FOR PROCESSING ANIMAL FIBER
Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing processed fibers bleached and/or dyed, the processed fiber, a method for suppressing damage to animal fibers, and a method for processing animal fibers.
Background Art [0002] The texture and hue of a fiber product made of animal fibers are important factors in determining the product value. The texture of animal fibers is expressed as tender, smooth, frictional feel, or the like, and it is thought that animal fibers have the most excellent texture when these fibers are collected and no chemical treatment other than scouring is performed. Also, with regard to the hue, dyeing is performed in accordance with purposes, and when a vivid hue such as white or extremely light color to light color is required, it is necessary to bleach fibers prior to dyeing. Thus, conventionally, oxidative bleaching by hydrogen peroxide or reductive bleaching by hydrosulfite or sodium bisulfite has been performed. However, these types of bleaching require long-term heating and an alkali agent, and thus fibers are damaged, causing deterioration of unique textures such as tenderness and frictional feel of animal fibers.
[0003] In view of this, attempts have been made to develop a bleaching method by which the texture does not deteriorate and sufficient whiteness is obtained. For example, a bleaching sub-agent (Patent Literature 1) containing a polycarboxylic acid-based polymer and an amine-based compound, and a treating method by means of an alkaline protease, hydroxyalkyl phosphine, and derivatives thereof (Patent Literature 2) have been proposed. However, it cannot be said that they sufficiently suppress deterioration of the texture and maintain sufficient light resistance.
[0004] Also, a method applying an ultraviolet absorbing agent (Patent Literature
3), a method applying a lower phosphorous acid and a lower phosphate to animal fibers (Patent Literature 4), a method applying a fluorescent whitening agent to animal fibers (Patent Literature 5), and the like have been proposed for improving the light resistance of animal fibers. However, their effects are not necessarily sufficient, and the textures are harmed, and their safety with regard to the human body may be also a concern.
[0005] On the other hand, conventionally, methods for providing fibers with the properties of an animal-derived protein by combining the animal-derived protein and animal fibers have been proposed (Patent Literatures 6 to 8). For example, it has been reported that use of sericin together with a dichlorotriazine-based compound provides fibers with durability and shape stability (Patent Literature
6); that in shape fixing, cloth made of animal protein fibers is soaked for absorption into a solution of a collagen protein derivative and a fibroin protein or a keratin solution, and thereby, the texture and touch feel are maintained (Patent Literature 7); that the physical properties of a protein fiber product is improved and the color of the protein fiber product is deepened by soaking the protein fiber product in an animal hair protein aqueous solution and a bridging agent (Patent Literature 8); and the like.
[0006] However, it has not previously been known that a keratin hydrolytic product has the effect of suppressing deterioration of the texture and the light resistance of animal fibers caused by bleaching and/or dyeing.

Description of Embodiment [0013] A method for manufacturing processed fibers Of the present invention IS one Of the methods for manufacturing processed fibers with bleaching and dyeing animal fibers and has the step for soaking the fibers in a hydrolyzed keratin solution.
[0014] In the present invention, animal fibers are those animal fibers used in spinning, and the form thereof may be short fibers, long fibers, spun yarn, knitted fabric, woven fabric, felt, or the like, and may be apparel products such as clothes, bedding, cushions, and stuffed toys.
Here, examples of the animal fibers include sheep wool, cashmere, mohair, camel hair, llama, alpaca, vicuna, angora, mink, and silk. These animal fibers may be used alone or in combination.
[0015] The processed fibers of the present invention are obtained with bleaching and/or dyeing the above-described animal fibers, and thus, the processed fibers encompass bleached fibers, dyed fibers, and bleached and dyed fibers.
In the present invention, bleaching is performed in order to increase the whiteness of animal fibers and is performed with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and a surface active agent, an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and sodium silicate, or the like. Also, dyeing is performed without particular limitation with a liquid flow method, a jigger method, a beam method, a cold pad-batch method, a pad steam method, a pad roll method, a continuous method, or the like, and a suitable dye and a suitable dyeing method may be selected in accordance with the type of animal fibers.
[0016] In the present invention, the hydrolyzed keratins may be a hydrolytic product obtained by decomposing a keratin-containing raw material or a keratin extracted from the raw material under a reduction condition or the like by acid, alkali, peroxide, an enzyme, or the like, and the methods are all known (for example, see JP 2005-247692A, JP 2006-124341A, JP 2008-247925A, and JP H6-116300A). Among them, hydrolytic products with an alkali or a peroxide are preferable.
Considering the sorption and permeability of the hydrolyzed keratin to fibers, the number average molecular weight of this hydrolyzed keratin, measured through gel filtration analysis, is preferably 10,000 or less, more preferably
8,000 or less, more preferably 5,000 or less, more preferably 3,000 or less, and more preferably 2,000 or less, and is preferably 130 or more, more preferably 150 or more, more preferably 200 or more, and more preferably 300 or more. Also, the number average molecular weight thereof is preferably 10,000 to 130, more preferably 8,000 to 130, more preferably 5,000 to 130, more preferably 3,000 to 150, more preferably 2,000 to 200, and more preferably 2,000 to 300. [0017] In hydrolysis by an alkali or peroxide, the keratin-containing raw material may be directly decomposed.
In alkaline hydrolysis, an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, an alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as calcium hydroxide, or an alkaline compound such as ammonia is used, and in general, it is preferable to process the keratin-containing raw material at a concentration of 0.1 to 0.8 mol/L, preferably at a concentration of 0.2 to 0.5 mol/L, in general, at 20 to 120°C, and preferably for 0.1 to 72 hours.
[0018] Also, hydrolysis by a peroxide (oxidative hydrolysis) IS performed by a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide, performic acid, and peracetic acid, and in general, it is preferable to process the keratin-containing raw material at a concentration of 1 to 10%, preferably at a concentration of 3 to 8%, in general, at room temperature to 100°C, and preferably for 30 minutes to 48 hours.
[0019] Also, this hydrolytic product may be cationized, silylated, acylated, or alkyl cationized SO as to form derivatives Of the hydrolyzed keratin, and these derivatives may also be used as long as the effects of the present invention are obtained.
[0020] Examples of the keratin-containing raw materials include hairs of animals such as birds, sheep, horses, pigs, alpacas, mohair, angora, and cashmere, and among these, feathers obtained from birds or sheep wool is preferable, and it is particularly preferable to use feathers. Although it IS possible to use any feathers such as down, feathers, and small feathers obtained from land birds such as chickens, quails, and turkeys, and water birds such as geese, call ducks, domestic ducks, European ducks, Peking ducks, and eider ducks, in particular, feathers of water birds are preferable.
[0021] In the present invention, examples of preferred hydrolyzed keratins include hydrolyzed keratins derived from sheep wool or feathers, hydrolyzed keratins derived from feathers are more preferable, and alkaline hydrolyzed keratins or oxidatively hydrolyzed keratins derived from feathers are even more preferable.
[0022] Examples of hydrolyzed keratin solutions include aqueous and ethanol solutions, and aqueous solutions are preferable.
It is possible to blend, as appropriate, into this hydrolyzed keratin solution, lipid components such as a chelating agent, a metal salt, ceramide, and fatty acid esters, an organic acid such as citric acid or ascorbic acid, a nonionic surface active agent, a cationic surface active agent, an amphoteric surface active agent, higher alcohols, lower alcohols, animal and vegetable oils, silicone oils, natural polysaccharides, an animal or plant extract, a hydrolytic product derived from animals or plants and derivatives thereof, a pH regulator, an antiseptic agent, and the like, in a range of not impairing the effects of the keratin.
[0023] in view of increasing the animal fiber's protective function and recovering function, and suppressing deterioration of the texture caused by an increase in the sorption amount of the hydrolyzed keratin into fibers, the concentration of the hydrolyzed keratin in the hydrolyzed keratin solution IS preferably 0.01 mass% Or more, more preferably 0.03 mass% or more, more preferably 0.05 mass% or more, and more preferably 0.1 mass% or more, and preferably 1 mass% or less, more preferably 0.7 mass% or less, and more preferably 0.5 mass% or less. Also, the concentration thereof is preferably 0.01 to 1 mass%, more preferably 0.03 to 0.7 mass%, more preferably 0.05 to 0.7 mass% or more, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 mass%.
[0024] From the viewpoint of suppressing deterioration of the protective function and the recovering function for animal fibers caused by denaturation by heat or a decrease in the osmotic force, the animal fibers are preferably soaked in the hydrolyzed keratin solution, in general, at 30 to 80°C for 20 to 60 minutes, and are more preferably soaked at 40 to 60°C for 30 to 60 minutes.
[0025] The animal fibers are soaked in the hydrolyzed keratin solution in a pretreatment process before a bleaching process and/or a dyeing process, or in a post-treatment process after a bleaching process and/or a dyeing process, and it is particularly preferable to implement both the pretreatment process and the post-treatment process. For example, when dyeing is performed subsequent to bleaching, it is preferable to perform the soaking process twice, before the bleaching and after the dyeing, or three times before the bleaching after the bleachings (before the dyeing), and after the dyeing.
[0026] In the processed fibers of the present invention obtained thus, fiber damage due to bleaching and/or dyeing is suppressed or repaired. Namely, in the processed fibers of the present invention, the unique texture (for example, the touch feel) of animal fibers is kept in spite of the bleaching and/or dyeing, and the strength and the light resistance are kept without being reduced.
Therefore, when bleaching and/or dyeing animal fibers, the method including the step for soaking these fibers in the hydrolyzed keratin solution may serve as a method for suppressing damage to the fibers in bleaching and/or dyeing. Also, the method, including the step for soaking the animal fibers in the hydrolyzed keratin solution, before or after, or before and after the fibers are bleached and/or dyed, may serve as a processing method for suppressing the damage to the fibers.
The present method for suppressing damage to animal fibers and the present method for processing animal fibers are useful for protecting the animal fibers from bleaching and/or dyeing and for keeping the texture of the fibers, or for keeping the light resistance.
Note that in the present invention, texture refers to the material feel felt when a human touches the material, such as the touch feel, skin feel, or comfortability of feel, and the unique texture of the animal fibers refers to the tenderness, smoothness, frictional feel, suppleness, softness, sturdiness, bulkiness, or the like.
Also, light resistance refers to resistance against deterioration caused by light (yellowing or decoloring of fibers).
Embodiments [0027] Hereinafter, the present invention will be more specifically described according to embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
«Evaluation Method>
1. Dyeing (light resistant) fastness testing method
The dyeing (light resistant) fastness of fibers was measured in conformity with J IS L 0842, the third exposure method. The higher the grade obtained through this test is, the higher the fastness is.
[0028] 2. Fiber damage testing method: Alkaline solubility method
The alkaline solubility of fibers was measured in conformity with J IS L 1081, alkaline solubility method. The smaller the value obtained in this test is, the less damaged the fibers are.
[0029] 3. Fiber damage testing method: Coloring method (methylene blue method)
The fiber damage was determined in conformity with J IS L 1081, coloring (methylene blue method). The damage level is determined by means of a color concentration because undamaged fibers turn light blue and damaged fibers turn deep blue.
[0030] 4. ATR-FTIR testing method
ATR-FTIR spectra of fibers were recorded with a PerkinElmer Spectrum One FTIR spectrophotometer, manufactured by PerkinElmer, Inc., provided in Universal ATR Sampling Accessory. The measurements were performed under the condition that the accumulation number was 16 and the resolution was 4 cm-1, and 4000 to 400 cm-1. In the obtained spectra, a peak for sulfonic acid was obtained at 1040 cm-1. This sulfonic acid was derived from cystine in the fibers, and the cystine underwent cleavage due to excessive oxidation of cystine and changed into sulfonic acid. Thus, the lower the peak at 1040 cm-1 is, the lower the content of sulfonic acid is; indicating that excessive oxidation of fibers in the bleaching process has been suppressed.
[0031] 5. Yarn elasticity test
Single yarn tensile strength and elongation ratio were measured in conformity with J IS L 1095, spun yarn testing method.
[0032] 6. Panelist evaluation (sensory evaluation)
Panelist evaluation was performed on specimens. 25 panelists who had many opportunities to evaluate cashmere fibers in business touched specimens freely and evaluated the touch feel with the following criteria, and average values were obtained.

[0035] Production Example 1: Production of sheep wool-derived solubilized (non hydrolytic) keratin
300 mL of an 8 M urea solution (pH: 9.5) containing 0.05 M tris and 0.1 M dithiothreitol was added to 10 g of sheep wool and stirred at 4°C for 24 hours. Thereafter, 7.5 g of sodium sulfite and 18 g of sodium tetrathionate dihydrate were added and stirred at 4°C for 24 hours. After undissolved substances were removed by centrifugal separation, the pH of the mixture was adjusted to
5.2 with hydrochloric acid, and sheep wool-derived solubilized, but not hydrolyzed, keratin was produced.
[0036] Production Example 2: Production of feather-derived solubilized (non-hydrolytic) keratin
The sheep wool was changed to feathers, and feather-derived solubilized keratin, not hydrolyzed, was produced similarly to Production Example 1.
[0037] Production Example 3: Production of sheep wool-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin
Soaking 10 g of sheep wool in hydrogen peroxide water for three hours in order to oxidize it. Thereafter, the sheep wool was hydrolyzed by adding ammonia. Unreacted hydrogen peroxide and undecomposed substances were removed, and sheep wool-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin was produced. [0038] Production Example 4: Production of feather-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin
The sheep wool was changed to feathers, and feather-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin was produced similarly to Production Example 3. [0039] Production Example 5: Production of sheep wool-derived alkaline hydrolyzed keratin
100 g of 1.3% sodium hydroxide solution was added to 10 g of sheep wool and reacted at 120°C for 20 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the pH was lowered to by hydrochloric acid, and the product was left for one night. After undecomposed substances were removed by centrifugal separation, the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 5.6 with sodium hydroxide, and sheep wool-derived alkaline hydrolyzed keratin was produced.
[0040] Production Example 6: Production of feather-derived alkaline hydrolyzed keratin
The sheep wool was changed to feathers, and feather-derived alkaline hydrolyzed keratin was produced similarly to Production Example 5, [0041] FIG. 1 shows the results of molecular weight analysis with SDS-PAGE for keratins produced in Production Examples 1 to 6. With the feather and sheep wool-derived solubilized keratins, bands with a molecular weight of
10,000 or more were confirmed, whereas with the feather and sheep wool-derived hydrolyzed keratins, only bands with a molecular weight of 10,000 or less were confirmed. Based on this, the feather and sheep wool-derived solubilized keratins are found to contain keratin molecules with molecular weight of 10,000 or more, and the feather and sheep wool-derived hydrolyzed keratins contain only keratin molecules with a molecular weight of 10,000 or less.
[0042] Also, the results of molecular weight measurement through gel filtration molecular weight analysis for the keratins produced in Production Examples 3 to 6 are listed in Table 1. Those keratins are found to contain keratin molecules with number average molecular weight of about 1000, regardless of whether the keratin-containing raw material is derived from and the hydrolysis method.

*unprocessed: cashmere hairs not bleached and without keratin treatment [0052] FIG. 2 shows photographs of cotton-like fibers of Embodiments 1 to 4, Comparative Examples 1, 2, and unprocessed cashmere fibers, before and after the methylene blue dyeing. The fiber damage is evaluated on color concentrations because undamaged fibers turn light blue and damaged fibers turn deep blue. As shown in FIG. 2, Comparative Examples 1, 2 were more deeply colored than unprocessed fibers. Embodiments 1 to 4 were more light in the color than Comparative Examples 1, 2, and in particular, Embodiments 1, 2 were equivalent to the unprocessed fibers in the color. Thus, Embodiments 1 to 4 suppressed, also according to the methylene blue dyeing method, fiber damage caused by bleaching, as is similar to the alkaline solubility method. [0053] According to the results of fiber damage level and touch feel, the hydrolyzed keratins with an average molecular weight of 10,000 or less are found to effectively suppress fiber damage caused by bleaching.
[0054] Embodiments 5 to 7 and Comparative Example 3 (keratin treatment before bleaching) (Embodiment 5)
Pretreatment was performed by soaking cashmere hairs whose place of origin was different from those used in Embodiment 1 in a 0.5% feather-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin solution, at a liquid ratio of 1: 20, at 40°C for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the hairs were soaked in a diluted solution obtained of 35% hydrogen peroxide water with the concentration 20 cc/L, at a liquid ratio of 1: 20, and were bleached at 60°C for 1 hour. The hairs were sufficiently washed with water and then dried to produce hydrolyzed keratin treated hairs. [0055] (Embodiment 6)
Hydrolyzed keratin treated hairs were produced similarly to Embodiment 5, while the hairs were soaked in a feather-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin solution, at 60 °C.
[0056] (Embodiment 7)
Feather-derived alkaline hydrolyzed keratin treated hairs were produced similarly to Embodiment 5, while the hairs were soaked in a feather-derived oxidatively hydrolyzed keratin solution, at 80 °C.

[0095] FIG. 5 shows photographs of cotton-like fibers, before and after methylene blue dyeing on Embodiment 21, Comparative Examples 11 and 12. The fiber damage is evaluated with a color concentration because undamaged fibers turn light blue and damaged fibers turn deep blue. According to FIG. 5, Comparative Examples 11 and 12 were more deeply colored than unprocessed fibers. Embodiment 21 was more lightly colored than Comparative Examples 11 and 12. This suggests that with Embodiment 21, in the evaluation with the methylene blue dyeing method as well, fiber damage caused by bleaching was suppressed similarly to the alkaline solubility method. Thus, the hydrolyzed keratin, among hydrolyzed proteins, effectively suppressed fiber damage.
