Abstract

PROCESS FOR DYEING MATERIALS WHICH CONTAIN SYNTHETIC FIBRES

Abstract of the Disclosure Process for dyeing materials which contain synthetic fibres with dyes that are sparingly soluble to insoluble in water, in the presence of dyeing auxiliaries which are polyadducts of propylene oxide and a polyhydric aliphatic alcohol of at least 2 carbon atoms, wherein said adducts are soluble in water and contain sulphonic acid groups.
The process of present invention is especially suitable for dyeing linear polyester fibres wherein level and strong dyeings are obtained which are in addition characterised by good fastness to rubbing.

Description

~s~
The present invention provides a novel process for dyeing materials which contain synthetic fibres, the dye liquor suitable for carrying out this process, and the fibrous materials which are dyed according to the novel process.
- When dyeing textile materials with dyes which are - insoluble or sparingly soluble in water, for example by t~e high temperature circulation process, dispersion problems often occur which are due to an inadequate dispersion of the dyes in the dye liquors. Unlevel dyeings of poor fastness, above all poor fastness to rubbing, are consequently obtained.
Such deficiencies also become apparent inter alia in the dyeing of synthetic fibres, especially the linear poly-ester fibres, with disperse dyes.
In order to stabilise dispersions of dyes which are sparingly soluble in water, it is generally known to add certain assistants to the dyebaths, e.g. condensation products of naphthalenesulphonic acid and formaldehyde or the alkali salts thereof, oxethylated fatty alcohols or lignin sulphonates.
However, these products have either only dispersing or levelling properties. It is therefore well-nigh only possible to attain both effects simultaneously by using mixtures of different assistants. Also many dispersants ad-

versely affect the dispersing and dyeing procedure on account of their pronounced tendency to foam.
The novel process makes it possible to obtain level dyeings which are fast to rubbing when dyeing materials which contain synthetic fibres with dyes which are sparingly soluble to insolubl0 in water.
According to the present invention, there is provided a process for dyeing ~including brightening) fibrous materials which contain synthetic fibres selected from cellulose ester, linear polyester, synthetic polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefine and polyacrylonitrile fibres, with a dye that is sparingly soluble to insoluble in water selected from a vat dye, a pigment dye, a disperse dye and a fluorescent brightener, comprising the step of applying to the fibrous material an aqueous liquor having a pH of 4 to 8 and containing 0.01 to 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of the fibrous material, of the dye and 0.1 to 5 grams per litre of dye liquor of a water-soluble acid ester or salt thereof of a polypropyleneoxide adduct of an average moleculare weight of 1000 to 6000 wherein the polypropylene-oxide adduct is an adduct of a homopolymer of propyleneoxide and a poly-hydric aliphatic alcohol of 2 to 6 carbon atoms and wherein the acid ester of the polypropyleneoxide adduct is derived from said adduct and an acid containing a sulphonic acid group.
With the aid of these polyadducts it is now possible to eliminate the disadvantages described hereinbefore which occur when dyeing organic ~ -synthetic fibres, especially polyester fibres, with disperse dyes without addition of assistants or with the previous additives. The advance in the art attained according to the invention resides primarily in the excellent stabilising action of the polyaddicts on the dyestuff dispersion, so that during the entire dyeing procedure there occurs neither an aggregation nor a precipitation of the dye.
A further advantage of these compounds used as levelling agents and dispersants resides in their negligible foaming tendency. There is consequen-tly no danger of foam
- 3 ~S~

specks forming on the dyeings and a more rapid penetration of the goods and an increase in the flow velocity in the dyeing machinery are thereby ensured.
The polyadducts used according to the invention are, for example, adducts of propylene oxide and polyhydric ali-phatic alcohols of at least 2, preferably 3 to 6, carbon atoms, whi h are converted into an acid ester with a sulph-onated organic, preferably aliphatic, mono- or dicarboxylic acid of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. propionic acid or succinic acid, but preferably with an inorganic sulphation agent, especially sulphuric acid or sulphaminic acid.
Suitable polyhydric alcohols as defined herein are those containing at least 2 hydroxy groups, for example alkylene diols with an alkylene radical of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. ethylene glycol, 1,3- or 1,2-propylene glycol or 1,5-pentane diol, glycerol or trimethylol propane. It is pre-ferred to use aliphatic alcohols which contain 3 carbon atoms and 2 or 3 hydroxy groups.
Sulphated adducts as defined herein with an average molecular weight o 1000 to 6000, preferably 2000 to 3500, have for example proved particularly effective for the use according to the present invention. Of these, adducts which are derived from propylene glycol or glycerol are especially suitable~

05~ 1 4 ` The polyadducts containing sulpho groups to be used according to the invention can be used as free acid or preferably in the form of their alkali metal or ammonium salts. Alkali metal salts are in particular the sodium and potassium salts, and ammonium salts are the ammonium, tri-methylammonium, monoethanolammonium, diethanolammonium and triethanolammonium salts. Preferably the polyadducts are used as ammonium sulphate salts.
Typical examples of the polyadducts which contain sulphonic acid groups used according to the invention are the reaction product obtained by reaction of polypropylene glycol and sulphamic acid 9 the polypropylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 1000 to 3500, preferably 2000, and the sulphated adducts obtained from gl~cerol or trimethylol propane and propylene oxide, the polyadducts having an average molecular weight of 2000 to 6000, prefe-rably 3000 or 2500.
~ further example of a polyadduct which contains sulphonic acid groups is the sulpho-succinic acid half 2Q ester of a polyadduct obtained by addition of propylene oxide to glycerol, said half ester having an average mole-cular weight of about 4000.
The amount of polypropyleneoxy adducts which con-tain sulphonic acid groups used varies according to the . . , . , , ~ .

present invention between 0.1 and 5 g, preferably 0.5 to g, per litre of aqueous dye liquor.
It is often desirable to incorporate an anti-foaming agent into the aqueous solution of the polyadduct in order to improve the properties of the dyebath to which the dispersant is added and sometimes also to increase the migration of the dye. A satisfactory type of antifoaming agent is a silicone emulsion, for example a 5 to 10% aqueous silicone emulsion, which can also be used in combination with higher alcohols of 4 to 22 carbon atoms, especially with 2-ethyl hexanol. The most suitable antifoaming agents, however, are water-insoluble alkyleneoxy adducts of higher alcohols, for example the adduct of stearyl alcohol and 1 mole of ethylene oxide, as well as esters of aliphatic di-carboxylic acids and higher alcohols or the higher alcohols alone, e.g. butyl alcohol or 2-ethylhexanol. Adipic acid di-2-ethylhexyl ester and methyl polysiloxanes have proved to be the most suitable antifoaming agents.
The amount of antifoaming agent used can be e.g.
0.5 percent by weight, advantageously however at least lO
percent by weight, pre~erably 15 to 60 percent by weight, based on the weight o~ the polyadduct.
It is also possible to add water-miscible alcohols to the solution of the polyadduct. Particularly suitable ; j ,~, ; , , ~ :

for this purpose are lower aliphatic alcohols, like alkanols, e~g. ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alnd isopropyl alcohol, tert.
butyl alcohol, alkylene glycols, e.g~ ethylene glycol and 2,5-hexane diol and the lower monoalkyl ethers thereof, as well as mixtures thereof.
By dyes which are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water are meant in the context of the invention vat dyes, pigment dyes, and, above all, disperse dyes which have affinity for fibres, i.e. those which exhaust onto textile synthetic fibres.
These dyes can belong to the most widely varying classes, e.g. acridone, nitro, methine and polymethine dyes, styryl and azostyryl dyes, xanthene dyes, oxazine dyes, aminonaphthoquinone dyesg cumarin dyes and especially anthra-quinone dyes and azo dyes, such as monoazo and disazo dyes.
According to the invention, it is also possible to use mixtures of such dyes.
The process according to the invention is also æuitable for whitening undyed textile materials with fluor-escent brighteners which are sparingly soluble in water.
These can belong to any class of fluorescent brightener.
In particular they are stilbene compounds, cumarins, benæo-cumarins, pyrazines, pyrazolines, oxazines, triazolyl, benzo-xazolyl, benzofuran or benzimidazolyl compounds and naphthalic ... . . .. ~.. ..... . .. ., .. .~

amides.
The amount of dye which is added to the liquor in the process according to the invention depends on the desired colour strengthi amounts of 0.01 to lO percent by weight, based on the weight of the fibrous material, have proved effective as a rule.
Fibrous materials which can be dyed according to the invention are cellulose ester fibres, such as cellulose 2 1/2-acetate and cellulose triacetate fibres, synthetic polyamide fibres, e.g. those from ~-caprolactam, from adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine9 from w-aminounde-canoic acid, polyurethane, polyolefin fibres, e.g. poly-propylene fibres~ polyacrylonitrile fibres, including moda-cryl fibres, and, above all, linear polyester fibres. By linear polyester fibres are meant synthetic fibres which are obtained by condensation of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol or of isophthalic acid or terephthalic acid with 1,4-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-cyclohexane, as well as copolymers of terephthalic and isophthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The fibrous materials can also be used as blends of polyacrylonitrile/polyester, polyamide/polyester, poly-ester/viscose and polyester/wool.
The fibrous material can moreover be in the most widely different stages of processing, e.g. in the form of - - . - , . : - , - ~ .

Dyeing is effected advantageously from an aqueous liquor by the exhaustion process. Linear polyester fibres are dyed preferably by the high temperature process in sealed and desirably also pressure-resistant apparatus at temperatures of over 100C, preferably between 110 and 140C, and optionally under pressure. Examples of suitable sealed vessels are circulation machines like cheese dyeing and beam dyeing machines, winch becks, jet or drum dyeing machines, paddles or jiggers. The liquor ratio can accor-dingly be chosen within a wide range, e.g. 1:1 to 1:100, preferably 1:10 to 1:50. The dyeing of the linear poly-ester fibres can also be carried out at temperatures below 100C, e.g. ;n the temperature range of 75 to 98C, in the presence of the customary carriers, for example phenyl-phenols, polychlorobenzenes, xylenes, toluenes, naphthalenes or diphenyl. Cellulose 2 1/2-acetate fibres are dyed prefer-ably at temperatures of 80-85C, while cellulose triacetate fibres are dyed with advantage at the boiling point (98G) of the aqueous bath.
The use of carriers is superfluous when dyeing cellulose 2 1/2-acetate or polyamide fibres.

_ 9 _ ~(~5~
When manufacturing the dye liquors, it is desirable to start ~rom the aqueous solutions of the polyadduct and to add to these the appropriate assistants 9 such as anti-foaming agents and lower alcohols. The liquors can contain mineral acids, such as sulphuric acid or preferably phos-phoric acid, organic acids, desirably lower aliphatic car-boxylic acids, e.g. formic, acetic or oxalic acid and/or salts, such as ammonium aceta~e, ammonium sulphate or sod-ium acetate. The acids are used primarily for adjusting the pH of the liquors according to the invention. The pH is normally 4 to 8, preferably 4.5 to 6.5.
The textile material is put into the liquor, which can have a temperature of 40 to 70C, and is treated for 5 to 15 minutes at this temperature. Afterwards the dye and optionally the carrier is added and the temperature of the liquor is raised in order to dye for 50 to 100 minutes in the given temperature range.
The dyed material is subsequently rinsed and dried in the usual way. A reductive aftertreatment is normally not necessary. As a rule the goods remain stationary in the dyeing apparatus and the liquor circulates through them.
It is important that there is not only a fine dispersion of the dye initially, but also that the degree of disper~ion is maintained during the entire dyeing procedure. It is , .. . . ; . .

; common knowledge that certain disperse dyes, above all under the conditions of high temperature dyeing, tend to become converted into a less fine form. The consequence of this is that the dye no longer exhausts onto the fibre and settles on the surface of the good. Such dyestuff agglomerations and precipitations can be avoided especially well with the anionic -~ polyadducts to be used according to the invention.
According to the invention, the synthetic fibrous material can also be dyed continuously, i.e. by impregna-tion with an aqueous preparation which contains a disperse dye, an anionic polyaddict as defined herein and optionally a thickener and acid, and squeezing it out to the desired content of impregnating liquor of 60 to 120% o the weight of the fibre with subsequent heat treatment, e.g. steaming at temperatures of 98 to 105C with neutral saturated steam or thermofixation at 18V to 210C.
Level and strong dyeings which are characterised in addition by good fastness to rubbing and dye yields are obtained on synthetic organic fibrous material, especially on linear polyester fibres, according to the process of the invention.
