Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure Described is a process for the processing of organic textile materials by application of an aqueous dispersion or solution of a processing agent having affinity for the fibres, with a ratio of goods to liquor of at most 1:2, and subsequent fixing of the processing agent by means of a steam treatment, characterised in that the ratio of goods to liquor of the applied liquor is increased, below the absorption temperature of the processing agent, by the admission of saturated steam in such a manner that the processing agent is uniformly dispersed on the material before commencement of the fixing process. The advantages of this process are that there are used practically no products contaminating the waste liquors, particularly no surface-active substances tending to form foam, and that there are nevertheless obtained perfectly satisfactory processing effects.
Surprisingly, moreover, irregularities caused by the material are levelled out during dyeing.

Description
;~0~j060~
The invention relates to a process for the processing of organictextile materials, as well as to thertextile material processed by means of the process.
Processes by which organic textile materials are processed with the use of low goods-to-liquor ratios are known. These liquors contain surface-active substances such as, e.g., foam-forming compounds. The disadvantages of these processes are that the employed surface-active substances contaminate the waste liquors, particularly during washing out of the processed textile materials, and render more difficult the purification of these waste-liquors in clarifying plants; and that with the applicationc~f foam-forming compounds, moreover, these restrict or make quite impossible the flow of material in large proces~ing plants such as "JET"(trade mark)O
There has now been found a process which surprisingly does not have these disadvantages, iOe. in which no additional surface-active substances are used, and in which the ratio of goods to liquor is not brought to the required value until during the processing operation .
The present invention provides a dyeing or finishing process for organic textiles, comprising the steps of applying a liquor which is an aqueous dispersion or solution of a dye or finishing agent, having affinity for the textile, in the substantial absence o~ surfactants, to a textile at a goods to liquor ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:2, subsequently applying saturated steam to the textile to heat the textile from about 20 C to a ma~imum of about 140 C and to dilute the liquor by condensation of the steam so as to uniformly distribute the liquor over the textile before a temperature is reached which would fix the dye or finishing agent to the textile fibers, provided that the diluted liquor is completely absorbed by the textile, and finally fixing the dye or finishing agent by the continued application of saturated steamO
The procedure for carrying out this process according to

For a bet~er dispersion of the processing liquor, it is advantageous to mechanically keep the material moving or, alternatively, to maintain the processing liquor in motion with the material stationary. After the whole of the liquor has been applied to the material, this is subjected to a saturated-steam treatment. This treatment offers the possibility of increasing the ratio of goods to liquor, by condensation of the steam, advantageously 1.2-fold to 4-fold, with the proviso that the final ratio of goods to liquor does not exceed the value of 1:5 and that no free liquor is formed.

saturated steam must be controlled in such a way that the processing agent is uniformly dispersed on the textile material before the actual fixing process commences. After the saturated-steam treatment, the textile materiàl is rinsed, and finished off in the known manner.
It is to be emphasised that the processing agent is used according to the invention in the form of an aqueous dispersion or solution containing water and the processing agent, but preferably no additional surface-active substances.
The widest variety of processing agents having affinity for the substrate are suitable for the process according to the invention. Any agent that can be applied to the substrate by spraying, atomising or slop-padding is suitable for the purpose, such as, e.g.: dyestuffs, optical brighteners, softening agents, agents imparting dirt-repellent properties, moth-proofing agents, water-proofing agents and fire-proofing agents, agents rendering the material fast to rubbing and antistatic agents. It is also possible to use agents for rendering the material shrink-proof, for desizing, for rendering the material crease-proof and for bleaching.
These proce~sing agents are used in the usual form for _ 5 _ - . - - . , - , .. .

0~08 aqueous application They can be soluble or insoluble in water; in the latter case, they are used in the finely divided form and dispersed practically uniformly throughout the liquor.
The processing operation according to the invention can be applied to all types of textile materials which are, for example, in the form of piece-goods, fabrics, knitwear, non-woven materials, yarn, textile floor coverings or tufted carpet material. These can contain synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural (vegetable or animal) materials such as, e.g., natural polyamide fibres such as wool or silk; synthetic polyamide fibres such as nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 6/66 or nylon 11; polyurethane fibres; natural cellulose fibres such as cotton and linen;
regenerated cellulose fibres such as viscose rayon or cuprammonium rayon; cellulose-2 1/2- and --riazetate fibres; polyolefin fibres or the basic or acid modifications thereof; acrylonitrile-polymerisate fibres and mixed polymerisate fibres, e.g. those having an acrylonitrile content of at least 80%; fibres made from polyvinyl compounds, such as mixed polymerisates of vinylidene chloride; fibres of linear aromatic polyesters such as the polycondensation prodllcts of terephthalic acid and `- 6 -~o~
glycols, especially ethylene glycol and 1,4-di-(hydroxy-methyl)-cyclohexane; and mixtures of the above-mentioned fibres such as polyester/wool, polyester/cotton and polyester/spun rayon.
The advantages of this process according to the invention are that there are used practically no products contaminating the waste liquors, particularly no surface-active substances tending to form foam, and that there are nevertheless obtained perfectly satisfactory processing effects. Surprisingly, moreover, irregularities caused by the material are levelled out during dyeing.
The following examples illustrate the invention. The temperature values are given in degrees Centigrade. The dyestuffs, particularly disperse dyestuffs, are advantageously used in their commercial form.

By means of a pump, the dyestuff solution is atomised and applied at room temperature for 15 minutes to the material continuously turningat 350 metres per minute and being carried by a flow of air (ratio of goods to liquor 1 : 1.2). After completion of the application of the dyestuff solution, saturated steam is blown through an injection nozzle into the completely closed plant in such a way that the temperature increase obtained per minute is approx. 3. There occurs on the cold material a condensation up to 98, with the ratio of goods to liquor increasing to about 1:2.
The injection of saturated steam is continued under pressure conditions until 130 is attained, and this condition is maintained for 30 minutes.
The material is not surrounded by any kind of free liquor and is merely wetted uniformly.
Finally, the temperature is slowly lowered to 70~
and the material is rinsed by the spraying-on of water in a goods-to-liquor ratio of 1:6. The rinsing water flowing off is colourless. After final finishing has been performed, there is obtained a level brown-dyed material having very good fastness properties.

Again there is obtained material which is dyed a level brown and which possesses good fastness properties.
Example 3 If the procedure is carried out as described in Example 1 except that the starting ratio of goods to liquor is reduced ~rom 1 : 1.2 to 1 : 0.3, and saturated steam is injected only intermittently, so that there is produced a heating-up rate of 2 per minute up to a temperature of 100, and from 100 to 130 a heating-up rate of 4 per minute, then the ratio of goods to liquor in~reases to about 1 : 1.2.

(ratio of goods to liquor 1 : 1.5). After the material h~s been rotated for a further 10 min., saturated steam is injected in such a way as to obtain a heating-up rate of 2/min.; the goods-to-liquor ratio increases during the heating-up period as a result of the immediately occurring condensation~ and the dyeing becomes compLetely levelled out before fixing conditions are established. With attainment of a temperature of 98 to 100, the good-to-liquor ratio has doubled to about 1;3. After a further 15 minutes at - 11 - , ~ trQJc~rk : , . . . .. .

The waste-liquor is undyed and is completely free from surface-active substances.
There are o~tained, after completion of the dyeing, level, brilliantly dyed light-red Helanca specimens having good fastness to light and to washing.
Example 5 1 kg of cotton tricot shirts is placed dry into a dyeing drum (Everest Segrate, Milan).

is d~ssolved in 1000 ml of hot water. There is added to this dyestuff solution 40 g of sodium sulphate, and the quantity is made up with water to 2000 ml. This dyestu~f solution is atomised by means of an atomising nozzle and applied during 15 minutes to the cotton tricot shirts (ra~io of goods to liquor 1:2). The continuously rotating material is heated with saturated steam to a temperature i0~08 of 9~ and this temperature is maintained for 20 minutes.
The dye liquor during this time increases as a result of condensation to double the original amount to give a ratio of goods to liquor of about 1:4. After cooling to 70 and after a short intermediate centrifuging, there is applied to the material by atomising an aqueous solution containing 25 g of sodium carbonate in 500 ml of water.
Duringa further 10 minutes, the shirts are centrifuged at 70 and then rinsed twice with water at 80 with a ratio of goods to liquor of 1:4. After finishing and drying, there are obtained levelly dyed gold-yellow cotton tricot shirts having very good fastness to wet processing and to light.

After the material h~s been rotated for a further 10 min., saturated steam is injected in such a way as to obtain a heating-up rate of 2/min.; the goods-to-liquor ratio increases during the heating-up period as a result of the immediately occurring condensation~ and the dyeing becomes compLetely levelled out before fixing conditions are established. With attainment of a temperature of 98 to 100, the good-to-liquor ratio has doubled to about 1;3. After a further 15 minutes at - 11 - , ~ trQJc~rk : , . . . .. .

100, the material is cooled to 70 and rinsed with water in a goods-to-liquor ratio of 1:4, and subsequently washed.
The waste-liquor is undyed and is completely free from surface-active substances.
There are o~tained, after completion of the dyeing, level, brilliantly dyed light-red Helanca specimens having good fastness to light and to washing.
Example 5 1 kg of cotton tricot shirts is placed dry into a dyeing drum (Everest Segrate, Milan).
10 g of the dyestuff of the formula ~103S ~ ~
NHCONH2 Cl F
is d~ssolved in 1000 ml of hot water. There is added to this dyestuff solution 40 g of sodium sulphate, and the quantity is made up with water to 2000 ml. This dyestu~f solution is atomised by means of an atomising nozzle and applied during 15 minutes to the cotton tricot shirts (ra~io of goods to liquor 1:2). The continuously rotating material is heated with saturated steam to a temperature i0~08 of 9~ and this temperature is maintained for 20 minutes.
The dye liquor during this time increases as a result of condensation to double the original amount to give a ratio of goods to liquor of about 1:4. After cooling to 70 and after a short intermediate centrifuging, there is applied to the material by atomising an aqueous solution containing 25 g of sodium carbonate in 500 ml of water.
Duringa further 10 minutes, the shirts are centrifuged at 70 and then rinsed twice with water at 80 with a ratio of goods to liquor of 1:4. After finishing and drying, there are obtained levelly dyed gold-yellow cotton tricot shirts having very good fastness to wet processing and to light.

Example 6 The Jet dyeing plant as described in Example 1 is A employed and is filled with 80 kg of dry Orlon jersey material. A liquor of 120 litres of wa~er containing 400 g of the dyestuff of the formula N~ N N ~ N - CH2 ~ Cl ~
and 1600 ml of 80~/o acetic acid is prepared and sprayed, with a pump output of 8 litres per minute, for 15 minutes on to the material rotating in the plant at a speed of 360 m/min. (ratio of goods to liquor 1 : 1.5). As a result -~
of the intr~duction of satura~ed steam to give a rate of temperature rise of 3 to 4/minute, there is formed a ratio of goods to liquor of about 1:3 before attainment of the fixing temperature of 100. At this point of time, the ~; dyestuff is homogeneously dispersed. Fixing of the dyestuff is performed by maintaining the supply of saturated steam until the te~perature is 100, and holding this temperature for 30 minutes.

Claims (9)
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A dyeing or finishing process for organic textiles, comprising the steps of applying a liquor which is an aqueous dispersion or solution of a dye or finishing agent, having affinity for the textile, in the substan-tial absence of surfactants, to a textile at a goods to liquor ratio of 1:0.3 to 1:2, subsequently applying saturated steam to the textile to heat the textile from about 20°C to a maximum of about 140°C and to dilute the liquor by condensation of the steam so as to uniformly distribute the liquor over the textile before a temperature is reached which would fix the dye or finishing agent to the textile fibers, provided that the diluted liquor is completely absorbed by the textile, and finally fixing the dye or finishing agent by the continued application of saturated steam.
2. Process according to claim 1, wherein the liquor is applied at a goods to liquor ratio of 1:0.8 to 1:1.5.
3. Process according to Claim 1, wherein the ratio of goods to liquor is increased by admission of saturated steam to 1.2 to 4 times its original value, with the provisoothat the ratio of goods to liquor does not exceed the value of 1:5.
4. Process according to Claim 3, wherein the ratio of goods to liquor before the fixing process is 1 : 0.9 to 1 : 4.
5. Process according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the introduction of saturated steam is carried out within 5 to 60 minutes, especially within 10 to 45 minutes.
6. Process according to Claim 1, wherein the aqueous dispersion or solution of the finishing agent having affinity for the fibres contains no additional surfaceactive substances.
7. Process according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the employed processing agents having affinity for the fibres are dyestuffs.
8. Process according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the aqueous dispersion or solution is applied to the organic textile material by atomising or by spraying.
9. Process according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the textile material is made from polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile or cotton, or from mixtures thereof.
