Abstract
This invention relates to a process for cleaning textiles, which comprises
applying a composition comprising a low molecular weight linear siloxane
represented by the formula:
CH 3((CH 3)2 SiO) nSi(CH 3)2 CH 3
wherein n is an integer from 1 to 7, and a cationic surfactant to stained textiles and
heating it in the presence of an inorganic base compound at a temperature below
which the textiles are deteriorated.
Description
The present invention relates to a process for cleaning textiles, especially for
removal of any oily and /or greasy stains from textiles and for removal of silicones
retained on textiles.
Historically, any oily/greasy stains have been removed from textiles by
various manners for cleaning purposes. On the other hand, silicone fluids have been
used as textile treating agents to impart smoothness, softness, and the like. However,
the presence of such silicone treating agents on textiles adversely affects re-dying of
the textiles, so they must be removed before re-dying. Therefore, a product referred
to as a "stripping agent", produced by the combination of cationic surfactants, is
commercially available but is not entirely satisfactory, especially for aminosilicone
textile treating agents.
A low molecular weight siloxane known as "volatile siloxane" has been used
for cleaning a substrate including textile. It is often used in combination with a
surfactant. These are disclosed in the following patents which are incorporated
herein by reference. The cyclic siloxanes employed in these prior art patents do not
work in the present invention.
US 4,654,041 discloses a process for removing silicone from fibers, yarns or
two-dimensional textile materials by the action of aqueous preparations, which may
contain surfactive equilibration catalyst for organosiloxanes, and optionally
detergents, wetting agents and alkali carbonates.
US 4,685,930 discloses a method for cleaning textiles which comprises
applying a liquid composition consisting essentially of a cyclic siloxane and
surfactant such as anionic, non-ionic, zwitterionic or ampholytic surfactant to a
textile soiled with oil, grease or sebum, and removing from the textile a combination
comprising cyclic siloxane and oil, grease or sebum.
DE 3739711A1 discloses a cleaning agent comprising cyclosiloxane and an
anionic, cationic and/or ionic surfactant, which is used for cleaning fabrics.
The present invention relates to a process for cleaning textiles, which
comprises applying a composition comprising a low molecular weight linear siloxane
represented by the formula:
CH 3((CH 3)2 SiO) nSi(CH 3)2 CH 3
wherein n is an integer from 1 to 7, and a cationic surfactant to stained textiles in the
presence of an inorganic base compound and heating the textiles at a temperature
below which the textiles are deteriorated.
The method of the present invention can remove any oily and/or greasy stains
from textiles and silicones retained on textiles.
The process of the present invention for cleaning textiles comprises applying
a composition comprising a low molecular weight linear siloxane represented by the
formula:
CH 3((CH 3)2 SiO) nSi(CH 3)2 CH 3
wherein n is an integer from 1 to 7, and a cationic surfactant to stained textiles and
heating the textiles in the presence of an inorganic base compound at a temperature
below which the textiles are deteriorated.
The low molecular weight linear siloxanes of the present invention
represented by the formula
CH 3((CH 3)2 SiO) nSi(CH 3)2 CH 3
wherein n is an integer from 1 to 7, are well known in the art. The siloxanes suitable
for the invention should have viscosity less than about 5cs. The siloxanes having
more than about 5 cs. cannot be employed in the present invention. Preferred
siloxanes include dimers, trimers and tetramers. As shown in the comparative
example, a cyclic siloxane cannot be used in this invention. The silicone stains
would become swelled after absorbing the siloxanes of this invention and easier to
be cut into small fragments by strong bases carried by the cationic surfactants, and
the fragments can be dissolved in the siloxane fluid. When the low molecular weight
siloxane is applied together with a cationic surfactant and a base, it can promote the
"cutting" efficiency because it can behave as a solvent to swell silicone and allow
hydroxy ion to penetrate into the inner part of an oil spot more easily.
The cationic surfactant employed in the present invention can be a quaternary
ammonium salt. Preferably, it can be selected from the group consisting of
trialkylmethylammonium salts, dialkyldimethylammonium salts and mixtures
thereof. The quaternary ammonium salts wherein the alkyl radical contains from 8
or less to 16 or more carbon atoms and the salt is chloride or bromide, are
commercially available. Trilaurylmethyl ammonium chloride and
didecyldimethylammonium chloride are most preferable. These ammonium salts are
used individually or as mixtures thereof or in combination with other ammonium
salts such as alkylbenzyldimethylammonium salts. Cationic surfactants alone can
neutralize the negative charges on fabric surfaces and enable strong bases closing to
and reacting with silicone oil spots (cutting polysiloxanes into small fragments) to
remove them from fabric surfaces. The base is a real silicone stripper and the
cationic surfactant is an auxiliary which helps the base penetrate more easily.
The base compounds suitable for the present invention depend on the
materials of textiles. Preferred inorganic base compounds of the present invention
are NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3 and the like. Depending on the materials of
textiles, for example, NaOH is good for cotton fabrics but not for wools. Na2CO3 or
NaHCO3 is preferred for wools.
The composition of the present invention can further comprise other
ingredients. For example, a non-ionic surfactant may be added to the composition,
which is used to stabilize the composition of the present invention. Since the
composition is generally added to an aqueous system, it is preferably used in form
of an emulsion. Persons skilled in the art know that any non-ionic surfactant is
useful to meet this requirement. In addition, biocides can be used as preservatives
for emulsions.
The proportions of the components are not critical to the composition of the
present invention. However, generally, the ratio of the low molecular weight linear
siloxane to the cationic surfactant is in the range of from about 1:25 to 25:1. The
ratio of the sum of the low molecular weight linear siloxane plus the cationic
surfactant to the base compound (on the basis of effective ingredient) is in the range
of from about 16:1 to 16:20.
The order of addition of the components is not critical. It is preferred to
previously produce a cleaning composition comprising the low molecular weight
linear siloxane and cationic surfactants in the form of an aqueous emulsion, and add
the cleaning composition and the inorganic base to a cleaning bath where water and
a stained textile are loaded in, and then heat the cleaning bath at a temperature above
the room temperature. The upper limit of the temperature may be the temperature
under which the textile can be exposed without thermal deterioration. The
temperature varies depending on the length of heating time. For example, the
temperature is preferably from about 80 to 100 degrees C, and the time is preferably
from about 30 minutes to 3 hours. The lower temperature can be used, but more time
will be needed. After the cleaning treatment, the textile may be neutralized with a
weak acid such as acetic acid.
The efficacy of the process of the invention is further illustrated by the
following examples which are provided for illustration but not for limitation of the
scope of the invention.
Various cleaning compositions were prepared by mixing the cationic
surfactants and the non-ionic surfactants with water and then adding a low molecular
weight siloxane to the composition under stirring. The quantities (unit: grams) of the
components are described in Table 1.
On a piece (6 grams) of cotton textile to be tested containing 0.2 percent by
weight (by weight of fabric) of silicone softener (polydimethylmethyl(aminoethylamino-isobutyl)siloxane
with viscosity of 1,500 cs.), 0.1 gram of
the same silicone softener was spread to form an oil circle.
In a cleaning vessel 80 grams of water was loaded first. Then the stained
textile, the cleaning composition and 0.2 grams of 50% NaOH were loaded, and
stirred for 60 minutes at a temperature of 90 degrees C. The cleaning solution was
drained off, the textile was rinsed with water, and 0.093 grams of 60% acetic acid
was added to neutralize the textile. The textile was again rinsed with water and dried
at a temperature of 180 degrees C. for two minutes.
After drying, the cleaned textiles were observed by dropping water. When
the oil spot was completely removed, it was rated as 5, and when the oil spot was not
removed, it was rated as 0. The results are as shown in Table 2.

It is apparent that the process of the invention is more effective to remove the
oil spot from the textile than the known process.
0.3 grams of a cleaning composition in the form of an emulsion was prepared
by mixing the cationic surfactants (Cationic Surfactant (a) 0.018 grams; Cationic
Surfactant (b) 0.009 grams; Cationic Surfactant (c) 0.030 grams) and the non-ionic
surfactants (Non-ionic Surfactant (1) 0.003 grams; Non-ionic Surfactant (2) 0.093
grams; Non-ionic Surfactant (3) 0.001 gram) with 0.072 grams of water and 0.035
grams of miscellaneous organic solvent and then adding the low molecular weight
siloxane (Siloxane (2) 0.039 grams) to the composition under stirring.
Onto a piece (6 grams) of dyed cotton textile to be tested, 0.2 percent by
weight (by weight of fabric) of silicone softener (polydimethylmethyl
(aminoethylamino-isobutyl)siloxane with viscosity of 1,500 cs.) was treated.
In a cleaning vessel 80 grams of water was loaded first. Then the dyed textile
treated with the softener, 0.3 grams of the cleaning composition and 0.03 grams of
50% NaOH were loaded, and stirred for 60 minutes at a temperature of 90 degrees
C. The cleaning solution was drained off and the textile was rinsed with water.
0.014 grams of 60% acetic acid was added to neutralize the fabric. The textile was
again rinsed with water and dried.
The dried textile was observed to find complete removal of the silicone
softener by dropping water, and no difference between the fresh dyed textile and the
redyed textile after removal of the silicone softener.
