Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a method for treating a textile. Particularly, it relates to a textile treatment method which can give excellent initial water- and oil-repellency and excellent durable water- and oil-repellency when a textile, especially a hydrophilic textile is treated for modification.
    • RELATED ART
  • Hitherto, it is known that a fluorine-containing compound has an excellent property of a water- and oil-repellent. Particularly, a treatment agent comprising a polymer of a fluoroalkyl group-containing vinyl monomer has been practically used. Such polymer is sometimes a homopolymer of a fluoroalkyl group-containing vinyl monomer. In many cases, it is a copolymer with various fluorine-free vinyl monomers. The used fluorine-free vinyl monomers include a hydrophilic monomer. For example, Japanese Patent Kokoku Publication JP-B-62047466 discloses a water- and oil repellent comprising a phosphoric acid group-containing monomer and a perfluoroalkyl group-containing vinyl monomer. However, the use of the copolymer with the hydrophilic vinyl monomer such as the phosphoric acid group-containing monomer gives poor adhesion to a hydrophilic textile such as nylon because of an electrical charge of the polymer from an electrical property of functional group and a hydrophilic property of the polymer, and sometimes gives no water- and oil-repellency.
  • FR-A-2270364 discloses a method for treating hydrophilic fibrous textile materials comprising the treatment of fibrous materials in a bath containing (a) a salt of the 2 to 4 valent metal and (b) a fluorine containing polymer. This fluorine containing polymer comprises moieties of a monomer containing fluoroalkyl groups of the formula X-CaF2a wherein X is H or F and a is 4 to 14, and a moiety representing phosphoric acid ester salt and/or an oxyalkylation reaction product moiety which may comprise a sulfuric acid ester group.
  • US 3467612 concerns a textile treated composition containing fluorinated acrylic polymers together with polyvalent metal salts of weak acids. According to the method described therein the fibrous material is treated with a metal salt of (in)organic acid and subsequently with a water-repellent copolymer of perfluoroalkyl(meth)acrylate and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

  • The method for preparing the fluorine-containing polymer is not limited and may be a conventionally used solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization or the like. A radical initiator may be used for the polymerization. The molecular weight of the fluorine-containing polymer used in the present invention is usually from 1,000 to 1,000,000.
  • The metal salt treatment means that the textile is dipped in a liquid containing the salt of metal having the valency of at least two, and it is used as the first step in the method of the present invention. Preferable examples of the metal are chromium, zirconium, titanium, aluminum and the like. Preferable examples of the metal salt are a sulfate salt, a nitrate salt, a chloride and the like. Among them, basic chromium sulfate is recommendable, since it has a particularly strong strength of bonding to an anionic functional group.
  • In a preferable embodiment of the present invention, the textile is dipped in a liquid containing the metal salt (the liquid temperature: 20-70°C), a pH value of the liquid is optionally adjusted to a range between 5 and 7, preferably between 5.5 and 6.5 and then the textile is washed with water. The metal salt liquid is an aqueous solution or aqueous suspension containing 0.01 to 50 % by weight, preferably 0.5 to 10 % by weight, based on the weight of the textile, of the metal salt. The time for dipping the textile is usually at least 10 seconds, preferably from 1 minute to 120 minutes. The pH adjustment can be conducted by using sodium acetate, sodium formate, sodium hydrogen carbonate and the like.
  • Then, the dried textile is treated with the fluorine-containing polymer. The treatment with the fluorine-containing polymer is a second step in the present invention. Said treatment may be a conventionally conducted process, for example, an impregnation process, a padding process, a coating process and the like. Then, the textile is dried.
  • After the treatment with the metal salt, the textile can be treated with the fluorine-containing polymer in the same bath. In such case, after the metal salt treatment, the pH adjustment and the washing with water, the fluorine-containing polymer in the amount of 0.01 to 50 % by weight, preferably 5 to 25 % by weight in solid, of the textile weight is added to the bath and textile is dipped for at least 10 seconds, preferably 1 minute to 120 minutes. The use of the fluorine-containing polymer neutralized with an organic base such as ammonia and triethylamine, or an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide is particularly effective on the treatment of the textile having a large thickness. In the case of use of the neutralized fluorine-containing polymer, after the textile is dipped, a 0.1 to 5 % aqueous solution of a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid or an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid is preferably added to the bath so as to adjust the pH value of the bath to a range between 1 and 4, more preferably between 2.5 and 3.5. After the washing with water and the hydroextraction, the same treatment procedure as in a conventional fluorine-containing water- and oil-repellent is used. The weight ratio of the metal salt and the fluorine-containing polymer is usually from 1:10 to 10:1.
  • The fluorine-containing polymer may be used together with various combination agents. Specific examples of the combination agent are a melamine resin, a urea resin, a blocked isocyanate, glyoxal and the like. If necessary, a thermal treatment and/or a calendaring process may be conducted. A treatment agent other than a fluorine-containing compound, for example, a silicone compound may combined.
  • The textile treated with the metal salt/fluorine-containing copolymer according to the present invention may be treated with other water- and oil-repellent, preferably a fluorine-containing water- and oil-repellent. A homopolymer or copolymer of a fluorine-containing monomer having no anionic functional group is preferable for the improvement of the textile durability.
  • The treated textile includes one in the form of a fiber, and a yarn, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a non-woven fabric and the like prepared from the fiber. Examples of the fiber are a natural fiber such as cotton, wool and silk; and a chemical fiber including a synthetic fiber such as acryl, a polyamide, a cellulose and a polyester. A textile blend of the natural fiber and the synthetic fiber may be used. The textile is preferably hydrophilic. Particularly preferable examples of the hydrophilic textile are a polyamide and a polyester. The woven fabric and artificial leather comprising a recently remarkably developed ultra-thin fiber are a preferable textile. The ultra-thin fiber has usually at most 1 Denier, preferably 1 to 0.0001 Denier, more preferably 0.1 to 0.001 Denier.

The suffix "+" to the numeral value in the water repellency and oil repellency represents that the performance is slightly better than said numeral value and the suffix "-" to the numeral value represents that the performance is slightly worse than said numeral value.
