Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of mixed esters as additives in textile processing, especially in the dyeing and printing processes for natural and synthetic fibres and fabrics.
  • organic acids and their salts are commonly used as acidulants in the dyeing of wool, nylon, paper, leather and other natural and synthetic fibres with certain acid and chrome dyes.
  • Organic acids such as citric acid and acetic acid are also used as components of printing pastes e.g. for printing carpets and in printing processes.
  • the use of such acids and salts is disclosed for example in FR- A-2240317, DE- C-317725 and DE- C-874291 and in GB-A-1048482.
  • These acids and their salts perform several functions in the dyeing and printing processes such as:-
  • compositions are formed which regulate the pH e.g. of the dye bath so as to obtain adequate levelling and exhaustion of dyes while fluctuations, odour and corrosivity of the free acids are avoided.
  • the use of these mixed esters in textile processing not only minimise the problems relating to odour and corrosivity but also has the surprising advantage of eliminating the need in some cases for separate buffering agents.
  • the present invention is an acidulant for regulating pH in textile processing characterised in that the acidulant comprises a mixture of triacetin and an alkyl acetate.
  • the acidulant mixture of the present invention can wholly or partially replace acidulants conventionally used for regulating pH during textile processing.
  • the mixture of esters triacetin and an alkyl acetate may be used as such or in combination with other esters such as glycol mono- and di-formates, glycol mono-and di-acetates, diacetin, diethyl oxalate or dialkyl succinates, or with free C1-C3 mono carboxylic acids.
  • the alkyl acetate in the ester mixture is suitably an acetate ester of a C1-C5 monohydric alcohol, preferably a linear alcohol. n-Propyl acetate is most preferred.
  • triacetin is suitably present in an amount from 25 to 95% w/w, preferably from 60 to 95% w/w of the total ester mixture.
  • the ester mixture can be incorporated at various points during textile processing, for example at one or more of the stages of scouring of the fabric, bleaching chlorination, dyeing, mordanting, levelling, exhaustion, fixing, printing, finishing, water-proofing and milling.
  • bleaching chlorination dyeing
  • mordanting mordanting
  • levelling exhaustion
  • fixing printing
  • finishing water-proofing and milling.
  • the machine is loaded with wool and water is added together with the ester mixture which wholly or partially replace the conventional acids (e.g. formic acid, acetic acid) normally used, the levelling agents and pH control agents (e.g. sodium and ammonium sulphate).
  • the levelling agents e.g. sodium and ammonium sulphate
  • additional pH control agents can be omitted because the ester mixture avoids wide fluctuations of pH thus also performing a buffering function.
  • the dye bath is held at 40°C for 5-30 minutes, the dye is added and the bath raised to the boil in 45-60 minutes. The dye bath is held at the boil for 30-60 minutes. At this stage more ester mixture can be added, if necessary, to maintain the pH and to complete dye exhaustion.
  • the ester mixture used in the present invention may be added with the initial charge of water to replace either the conventional acidulants or the levelling agent or both.
  • the concentration used (on a 100% basis) may be in the range of 0.1-10% w/w based on the weight of the liquor being used in the dye bath.
  • the ester mixture may be added as such or as solutions of the esters in a solvent. Additionally, the solutions can be used as a solvent carrier for the dyes.
  • the control of pH is essential and the ester mixture used in the present invention not only enables such control but also can be added to the dye used for colouring the pulp or the final product paper.
  • the ester mixture may be used in the present invention in conjunction with other conventional assistants or agents such as for example wetting agents, anti-foaming agents, solubilising agents and thickeners, used the the dying or printing process.
  • other conventional assistants or agents such as for example wetting agents, anti-foaming agents, solubilising agents and thickeners, used the the dying or printing process.
  • the type of dyes used are not limited by the process of the present invention.
  • the dyes may be acid, azoic, basic, direct, indirect, dispersed, reactive, mordant, prematallised, solvent, sulpher, vat dyes and optical brightners.
