Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new, improved process for the optical brightening of polyester fibers in the exhaust process with the aid of conventional polyester brighteners with the use of shading dyes.
  • the process according to the invention for the optical brightening of polyester fibers in the drawing-out process by treating the fibers in an aqueous polyester brightener which is stable under the application conditions and which absorbs onto the substrate and a small amount of a blue to violet disperse dye or mixtures of such dyes as shading dye is thereby characterized in that the treatment in said dispersion is carried out at a pH of more than 9.
  • the dispersion has a pH between 11 and 14, e.g. B. between 11 and 13.5, in particular between 11 and 12.5.
  • the pH is adjusted using a suitable alkaline substance, preferably using alkali metal hydroxides, in particular using KOH, but especially NaOH.
  • the treatment is carried out in the customary manner at a temperature between room temperature and 140 ° C., in particular between 50 ° and 130 ° C.
  • the fiber material is advantageously used at a lower temperature (for example 50 ° C.), whereupon the temperature is increased (e.g. to 120 ° C).
  • HT high temperature
  • carrier is added to the treatment bath that is common in dyeing practice.
  • carrier addition it is also possible to achieve very good results at lower temperatures, for example below 100 ° C.
  • carrier addition can also be used under HT conditions.
  • Suitable carriers are those customary in dyeing practice, e.g. B. aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic halogenated hydrocarbons and esters and ethers of aromatic carboxylic acids.
  • Preferred carriers are dichlorobenzenes and trichlorobenzenes, optionally also diphenyl and mixtures of the substances mentioned.
  • the duration of the treatment of the textiles in the brightener dispersion can vary within wide limits, but an application period of at least 20 to 30 ° minutes is advantageous.
  • the amount of brightener (pure substance) in the dispersion can, depending on the brightener used, vary between 0.002 and 0.5%, based on the material to be lightened.
  • the amount of shading dye is, depending on the dye and the desired shade, about 0.0025-2.5%, preferably 0.025-1.25%, based on the amount of brightener (pure substance) used.
  • polyester brighteners are used as brighteners, which in practice are applied together with shading dyes. These are mostly benzoxazole, stilbene and naphthalimide brighteners.
  • rings A, B and C may also contain simple radicals, such as lower alkyl or alkoxy groups or chlorine atoms, especially 2,5-bis-benzoxazol-2-yl-thiophene, 2,5-bis- (5- Methyl-benzoxazol-2-yl) ethylene and 1,4-bis-benzoxazol-2-yl-naphthalene; or the formula where n is 0 or 1 and rings A and B may be further substituted, e.g. B.
  • stilbene brighteners are those of the formulas respectively. wherein the rings A, B and C can carry different substituents, such as. As alkyl, alkoxy, chlorine, cyano, carboxy and its derivatives, etc., to mention, in particular the compounds 2-cyano-4- (naphtho (1,2-d) v-triazol-2-yl) -4'- chlorstilbene, 4- (naphtho [1,2-dlv-triazol-2-yl) -4'-methoxycarbonylstilbene, and 1,4-bis- (2-cyanostyryl) benzene.
  • substituents such as alkyl, alkoxy, chlorine, cyano, carboxy and its derivatives, etc.
  • naphthalimide brighteners are those of the formula in which R i and R 2 are hydrogen or alkoxy, especially those in which R 1 is hydrogen and R 2 is methoxy or in which R 1 and R 2 are each ethoxy.
  • Blue to violet disperse dyes are used as shading dyes, which of course have to be suitable for treatment in an alkaline liquor.
  • Acylaminoanthraquinone dyes are preferably used, in particular those of the formula wherein the benzene rings A may be optionally substituted, e.g. B. by alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, etc.
  • Dyes whose benzene rings A are unsubstituted or substituted in the para position with chlorine or methoxy are particularly suitable.
  • the aqueous dispersion advantageously also contains one or more dispersants and, if appropriate, wetting agents, stabilizers and / or other customary dyeing auxiliaries.
  • Suitable dispersants include: alkali metal salts, especially sodium salts of alkyl or alkylarylsulfonic acids and carboxylic acids, alkali metal salts, especially sodium salts of condensation products of arylsulfonic acids with formaldehyde, macromolecular substances which are suitable for liquefaction and dispersion, carboxylates of the polymerized maleic acid type polymerized acrylic acid and copolymers of maleic acid with allyl acetate.
  • Examples of such dispersants are: lauryl sulfate sodium salt, oleyl sulfate sodium salt, oleyl sulfate diethanolamine salt, benzylnaphthalenesulfonic acid Na, di- (2-sulfo-1-naphthyl) methane di-Na salt, m-xylenesulfonic acid Na, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid Na Na salt, dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, diethanolamine, diisopropylnaphthalenesulfonic acid Na, di-n-butylnaphthalenesulfonic acid Na, n-propyl-n-hexylnaphthalenesulfonic acid Na, N-oleylmethyl taurine Na salt, Na salt of the condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde acid formaldehyde , Benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt, cum
  • particularly preferred dispersants are nonionic, water-soluble ethoxylated or propoxylated fatty alcohols and alkylphenols and fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers, for example alkanols, alkenols (C 8 -C 22 ) with different amounts of ethyleneoxy or propyleneoxy groups, alkyl or arylpolyglycol ethers with up to 50 ethyleneoxy or propyleneoxy groups, such as octyl, nonyl or dodecylphenol polyglycol ether.
  • the individual components can be introduced separately into the treatment bath, which is already alkaline or is only then adjusted to the desired pH.
  • Such dispersions contain brightener and dye in the desired ratio. They are made by adding brightener and dye, preferably made together with a dispersant in a small amount of water. It is advantageous if this dispersion is subjected to grinding (for example in a ball mill) in order to obtain particle sizes of less than 10 ⁇ m, preferably less than 2 ⁇ m.
  • this stock dispersion can then be introduced (calculated on the desired amount of brightener in the bath) into the treatment bath, which may also contain a dispersant and / or other auxiliaries.
  • the treatment bath which may also contain a dispersant and / or other auxiliaries.
  • the bleaching bath can then be bleached directly.
  • Sodium chloride is preferably added to the liquor, the alkaline bath is acidified and then heated to about boiling temperature.
