Die Einsatzmengen, in denen das erfindungsgemässe Netzmittel den Behandlungsflotten zugesetzt wird, betragen zwischen 0,1 und 10, vorzugsweise 0,5 und 5 g pro Liter Behandlungsflotte. Die Flotte kann noch weitere Zusätze enthalten, z.B. Entschlichtungsmittel, Farbstoffe, optische Aufheller, Kunstharze und Alkalien wie Natriumhydroxid.The amounts in which the wetting agent according to the invention is added to the treatment liquors are between 0.1 and 10, preferably 0.5 and 5 g per liter of treatment liquor. The fleet can also contain other additives, e.g. Desizing agents, dyes, optical brighteners, synthetic resins and alkalis such as sodium hydroxide.

Als Fasermaterialien kommen in Betracht:
Cellulose, insbesondere unvorbehandelte natürliche Cellulose wie z.B. Hanf, Leinen, Jute, Zellwolle, Viskose, Azetatreyon, native Cellulosefaser und besonders Rohbaumwolle, Wolle, Polyamid-, Polyacrylnitril- oder Polyesterfasermaterialien sowie Fasermischungen, z.B. solche aus Polyacrylnitril/Baumwolle oder Polyester/Baumwolle.
The following are considered as fiber materials:
Cellulose, especially untreated natural cellulose such as hemp, linen, jute, cellulose, viscose, acetate treyon, native cellulose fiber and especially raw cotton, wool, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile or polyester fiber materials as well as fiber blends, e.g. those made of polyacrylonitrile / cotton or polyester / cotton.

Das zu behandelnde Fasermaterial kann in den verschiedensten Verarbeitungsstufen vorliegen, so z.B. das cellulosehaltige Material als loses Material, Garn, Gewebe oder Gewirke. Hierbei handelt es sich also in der Regel stets um textile Fasermaterialien, die aus reinen textilen Cellulosefasern oder aus Gemischen aus textilen Cellulosefasern mit textilen Synthesefasern hergestellt werden. Das Fasermaterial kann kontinuierlich oder diskontinuierlich in wässeriger Flotte behandelt werden.The fiber material to be treated can be in various processing stages, e.g. the cellulose-containing material as loose material, yarn, woven or knitted fabric. As a rule, these are always textile fiber materials which are produced from pure textile cellulose fibers or from mixtures of textile cellulose fibers with textile synthetic fibers. The fiber material can be treated continuously or batchwise in an aqueous liquor.

Die wässerigen Behandlungsflotten können in bekannter Weise auf die Fasermaterialien aufgebracht werden, vorteilhaft durch Imprägnieren am Foulard, wobei die Flottenaufnahme etwa 50 bis 120 Gew.% beträgt. Das Foulaldierverfahren kommt insbesondere beim Pad-Steam-Verfahren, dem Pad-Thermofixverfahren sowie Pad-Batch-Verfahren zur Anwendung.The aqueous treatment liquors can be applied to the fiber materials in a known manner, advantageously by impregnation on the padder, the liquor absorption being about 50 to 120% by weight. The fouling process is used in particular in the pad-steam process, the pad-thermofix process and the pad-batch process.

Die Imprägnierung kann bei 10 bis 60°C, vorzugsweise jedoch bei Raumtemperatur, vorgenommen werden. Nach der Imprägnierung und Abquetschung wird das Cellulosematerial gegebenenfalls nach einer Zwischentrocknung, einer Hitzebehandlung, z.B. bei Temperaturen von 95 bis 210°C unterworfen. Beispielsweise kann die Hitzebehandlung nach einer Zwischentrocknung der Ware bei 80 bis 120°C, durch Thermofixieren bei einer Temperatur von 120 bis 210°C, vorzugsweise 140 bis 180°C, durchgeführt werden. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Hitzebehandlung direkt, d.h. ohne Zwischentrocknung, durch Dämpfen bei 95 bis 120°C, vorzugsweise 100 bis 106°C. Je nach Art der Hitzeentwicklung und des Temperaturbereiches kann die Hitzebehandlung 30 Sekunden bis 30 Minuten dauern. Bei dem Pad-Batch-Verfahren wird die imprägnierte Ware ohne Trocknung aufgerollt und anschliessend gegebenenfalls mit eine Plastikfolie verpackt, und bei Raumtemperatur 1 bis 24 Stunden gelagert.The impregnation can be carried out at 10 to 60 ° C, but preferably at room temperature. After impregnation and squeezing, the cellulose material is optionally after intermediate drying, heat treatment, e.g. Subject at temperatures from 95 to 210 ° C. For example, the heat treatment can be carried out after intermediate drying of the goods at 80 to 120 ° C, by heat setting at a temperature of 120 to 210 ° C, preferably 140 to 180 ° C. Preferably the heat treatment is direct, i.e. without intermediate drying, by steaming at 95 to 120 ° C, preferably 100 to 106 ° C. Depending on the type of heat development and the temperature range, the heat treatment can take 30 seconds to 30 minutes. In the pad-batch process, the impregnated goods are rolled up without drying and then optionally packed with a plastic film and stored at room temperature for 1 to 24 hours.

Die Behandlung der Fasermaterialien kann aber auch in sogenannten langen Flotten bei einem Flottenverhältnis von z.B. 1:3 bis 1:100, vorzugsweise 1:8 bis 1:25 und bei 10 bis 100, vorzugsweise 80 bis 98°C während etwa 1/4 bis 3 Stunden unter Normalbedingungen, d.h. unter atmosphärischem Druck in üblichen Apparaturen, z.B. einem Jigger, Jet oder einer Haspelkufe erfolgen. Gegebenenfalls kann aber auch die Behandlung bis 150°C, vorzugsweise 105 bis 140°C unter Druck in sogenannten Hochtemperatur-Apparaturen (HT-Apparaturen) durchgeführt werden.The treatment of the fiber materials can also in so-called long liquors with a liquor ratio of e.g. 1: 3 to 1: 100, preferably 1: 8 to 1:25 and at 10 to 100, preferably 80 to 98 ° C for about 1/4 to 3 hours under normal conditions, i.e. under atmospheric pressure in conventional equipment, e.g. a jigger, jet or reel runner. Optionally, however, the treatment up to 150 ° C, preferably 105 to 140 ° C under pressure in so-called high-temperature equipment (HT equipment) can be carried out.

Anschliessend werden die Fasermaterialien, wenn es das Verfahren verlangt, mit heissem Wasser von etwa 90 bis 98°C und dann mit warmem und zuletzt mit kaltem Wasser gründlich gespült, gegebenenfalls neutralisiert und hierauf vorzugsweise bei erhöhten Temperaturen getrocknet.Then, if the process requires, the fiber materials are washed with hot water at around 90 to 98 ° C and then with warm and finally with cold water rinsed thoroughly, neutralized if necessary and then dried preferably at elevated temperatures.

Als wesentliche Vorteile der erfindungsgemässen Netzmittel sind neben ihrer ausgezeichneten Netzwirkung ihre gute Lagerstabilität sowie ihr schaumarmes Verhalten in der Anwendung zu verzeichnen.The essential advantages of the wetting agents according to the invention, in addition to their excellent wetting action, are their good storage stability and low-foaming behavior in use.
