Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for the dyeing and finishing of a lyocell fabric.
- lyocell fabric means a fabric formed, particularly woven or knitted, from yarns at least some of which contain or consist of lyocell fibres. Such yarns may comprise just lyocell fibres or they may comprise a blend of lyocell fibres with one or more other fibre types, which may be cellulose-based or non- cellulosic, such as cotton, viscose, linen, polyester and nylon. Furthermore, the fabric may additionally include yarns which do not incorporate lyocell fibres, for example yarns of the other fibre types referred to and blends thereof .
- Lyocell fibres are produced by extrusion of a solution of cellulose in a mixture of organic solvent and water through a spinning jet into a coagulation bath by a process known as solvent spinning. Such a process is described in US-A- 4,246,221 and uses as the solvent an aqueous tertiary a ine N-oxide, particularly N-methylmorpholine N-oxide. Lyocell fibres are distinguished from other man-made cellulose fibres which are produced by forming the cellulose into a soluble ⁇ chemical derivative and then extruding a solution of this derivative into a bath which regenerates the extrudate as cellulose fibres; viscose fibres including the high-strength modal types are produced in this way.
- Lyocell fibres are known to have a tendency to fibrillate during vigorous dyeing and finishing processes, and there have been a number of methods of dealing with this phenomenon. Where fibrillation is desired to be avoided, then dyeing and finishing of lyocell fabrics is carried out using relatively gentle processing such as pad-dyeing of open width fabric, and a resin-finishing treatment using a crosslinking agent is carried out on the dyed fabric to protect the fibres against fibrillation in subsequent laundering processes.
- Another method of dealing with this fibrillation tendency of lyocell fibres is to treat the fibres so as to remove the relatively long protruding fibre ends which are formed in the first stage of the fibrillation process (so-called "primary fibrillation") and which otherwise produce a hairy effect, often matted, on the surface of the fabric and so disfigure its appearance.
- primary fibrillation the relatively long protruding fibre ends which are formed in the first stage of the fibrillation process
- secondary fibrillation the development of the shorter fibrils which are formed in the fibrillation process
- These shorter fibrils create a surface finish which is characterised as being “clean”, in the sense of being substantially free from a hairy effect, and as having a soft touch imparted by the shorter fibrils on the surface and referred to as a "soft-touch finish”.
- the soft touch of the fabric surface is more pronounced and the soft-touch finish is referred to as a "peach-touch finish”.
- a further example is described in GB-A-2314568 and involves use of the dyeing machine itself, for example a jet dyeing machine, to subject the lyocell fabric to an extended treatment with an aqueous solution of a strong mineral acid such as sulphuric acid for 30 to 120 minutes before rinsing the fabric and then commencing the dyeing sequence in the machine.
- a strong mineral acid such as sulphuric acid
- One process which has been used successfully in commercial processing ⁇ involves a post-treatment of a lyocell fabric which has been subjected to a wet processing operation such as dyeing.
- the protruding fibre ends produced in primary fibrillation are removed in this post-treatment by applying to the fabric a solution of a cellulase enzyme.
- the desired secondary fibrillation is developed in subsequent processing, for example in the dyeing process itself (if later) or in subsequent washing and drying steps using rotary tumbling machines to produce a soft-touch finish on the surface of the fabric.
- Cellulase enzyme treatments are successful in removing the long fibre ends produced in primary fibrillation from the surface of the fabric but are expensive both in terms of material costs and in terms of processing time. Moreover, cellulase enzyme treatments are not usually successful in removing the visible crease marks which are produced in the most-widely used fabric dyeing process of water-driven jet dyeing. In these jet dyeing machines, the fabric is subjected to vigorous liquid and mechanical action whilst in rope form and this produces pronounced abrasion at fold lines, which manifests itself in the dyed fabric as visible crease marks, sometimes called rope-marks.
- the present invention provides a process for producing a dyed and finished lyocell fabric having a clean, soft-touch finish by carrying out the steps of dyeing, washing and drying a lyocell fabric using vigorous action on the fabric in at least one of the steps to produce fibrillation on the surface of the fabric, characterised in that, before the dyeing step is carried out, the fabric is evenly impregnated with an aqueous solution of an acid or acid donor and is then heat treated in a gaseous atmosphere to activate the action of the acid or acid donor, whereby the dyed and finished fabric has a clean, soft-touch finish substantially free from visible crease marks normally produced on lyocell fabrics which have been subjected to vigorous action in dyeing and/or finishing processes.
- the vigorous action on the fabric applied during dyeing and/or washing and/or drying is primarily required for the particular process function being undertaken, examples being the vigorous action imposed on the fabric when being dyed in a jet dyeing machine or in a drum dyeing machine for garments or when being washed or dried in rotary tumbling machines such as wet tumbling machines or tumble dryers.
- This vigorous action also produces fibrillation in a lyocell fabric which, but for the control imposed by the process of the invention, would mar the surface finish of the fabric with a hairy effect and risk the formation of the visible crease marks referred to.
- the ability of the process of the invention to deliver dyed lyocell fabrics having a clean, soft-touch finish, particularly a peach-touch finish, free from visible crease marks after a vigorous wet processing step such as jet dyeing or rotary tumbling is of great commercial importance. It means that the fabric can be processed on existing equipment using normal process routines without the need for excessive care in handling or extended processing times. For example, a dyeing cycle of six hours or less may be used in a jet dyeing machine. Suitable conventional water-driven jet dyeing machines include the machines known as Thies Ecosoft, and Hisaka Circular CUT- SL. Air jet dyeing machines, which also impose a vigorous action on the fabric t may also be used. Suitable air jet dyeing machines include the machines known as Thies Airstream, Thies Heil Roto, Hisaka AJ-1, Krantz Aerodye, and Then AFS.
- Conventional dyes and dye recipes for cellulosic fabrics may be used in the process of the invention, including those based on direct dyes, vat dyes, sulphur dyes and reactive dyes.
- the process of the invention ' can also be used in respect of the dyeing and finishing of piece goods or garments made from lyocell fabrics.
- Such garments can suffer from visible crease marks caused by localised abrasion during vigorous processing, such as drum dyeing or wet tumbling or tumble-drying, but this is largely avoided if the garments are subjected to the process of the invention.
- the application of the solution of the acid or acid donor and the subsequent drying and heat treatment step may be carried out on the lyocell fabric prior to its being converted into piece goods or garments. However, it may also be applied to the piece goods or garments after conversion.
- the solution of the acid or acid donor is preferably an aqueous solution.
- the fabric may be evenly impregnated with this solution using any of the conventional techniques for applying liquids to fabric, as by padding. Fabric in the length may be passed in open width through a pad bath of the aqueous solution, usually with a wet pick up of the solution in the range 65 to 80 per cent by weight on weight of fabric .
- Piece goods such as garments may be immersed in the solution in a vessel such as a drum washing machine.
- the acid or acid donor is preferably a weak acid of the type used as a catalyst for resins used in textile finishing processes.
- Suitable acids or acid donors include organic acids, such as citric acid and tartaric acid, and Lewis acids.
- Magnesium chloride, ammonium chloride, zinc chloride, zinc fluoroborate and zinc nitrate are suitable weak acids or acid donors . Mixtures of two or more of these compounds may also be used, and, indeed, manufacturers of acid catalysts for resin finishing sometimes use mixtures in their catalyst formulations.
- An example of a commercial product which can be used in the process of the invention is Condensol FB (trade mark of BASF AG), an acid catalyst comprising a mixture of magnesium chloride and zinc fluoroborate.
- Optimum solution concentrations of the acid or acid donor depend upon the particular acid or acid donor used; lower concentrations with highly active materials to avoid unwanted acid damage to the fabric and higher concentrations with less active materials.
- the manufacturers recommend concentrations for resin-finishing processes, and, in general, such concentrations may be used in the process of the invention.
- organic acids can be used in the concentration range of about 2 to 20 grams per litre in aqueous solution, for example about 4 to 6 grams per litre in the case of citric acid.
- Less active acids or acid donors may involve or require greater concentrations, for example up to about 40 grams per litre in aqueous solution. Unnecessarily excessive concentrations should be avoided in all cases as these can cause unwanted acid damage to the fabric. Avoidance of unnecessarily high concentrations also minimises chemical usage.
- the impregnated fabric is heat-treated in a gaseous atmosphere, for example in a hot air oven. Air forms the preferred gaseous atmosphere. It may be dried in a separate drying step before the heat treatment, but preferably the drying is just the initial stage of the heat treatment step.
- the lyocell fabric preferably is treated in open width, for example on a stenter passing through a heating oven or chamber.
- the temperature of the gaseous atmosphere used in the heat treatment is optimally chosen to be effective in initiating the action of the particular acid or acid donor used.
- the heat treatment serves to liberate acid in the gaseous phase to interact with the lyocell fibres. In general, a temperature in the range from 120°C to 220°C is suitable, more preferably from 140°C to 200°C. Again, optimum processing times depend upon the particular acid or acid donor used, but processing times are usually in the range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Any residual acid may be removed from the fabric by washing or scouring the heat-treated fabric and then re-drying
- the fabric preferably is subjected to a desizing or scouring operation, usually carried out prior to the impregnation with the acid or acid donor.
- This desizing or scouring may be a conventional operation in which the fabric is passed through an aqueous scouring bath to remove the size or lubricant. If desired, the fabric may be singed prior to removal of size. If pre-bleaching of the fabric is required, then it is preferred that this is carried out prior to the impregnation with the acid or acid donor, suitably after the desizing step.
- Another possible treatment of the fabric is a so-called causticising treatment with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. If this is carried out it is preferably carried out after the impregnation with the acid or acid donor and the subsequent heat treatment but before the dyeing step.
- Causticising is often carried out to improve the flexibility of the fabric in the wet state.
- a process for its application to lyocell fabrics is described in EP-A- 0749505, where it is described as mercerising.
- Causticising also enhances dyeability of the fabric which may be slightly depressed by the acid treatment, and it has the further effect that the fabric is modified in structure which reduces the propensity for shrinkage in later wet processing. After causticising, the fabric should be thoroughly rinsed with hot water and then cold water to remove residual sodium hydroxide.
- the dyed fabric may be given conventional finishing treatments, including application of a soft-finish as by a conventional padding operation. This may be carried out after the dyeing and washing processes without the need for any intermediate drying of the fabric. If a wet tumbling treatment is required to develop the soft-touch finish, this may be carried out in a rotary tumbling machine after dyeing, either together with or after any soft finish treatment. As with the dyeing step, the treated lyocell fabric remains free from visible crease mark damage which can otherwise occur during wet tumbling. The finished fabric may then be given a final drying, for example in a tumble-drying machine.
- the present invention provides a process for the dyeing and finishing of a woven lyocell fabric which has been desized, which includes the following steps in the following order:
- the invention is illustrated by the following Examples .
- the lyocell fibres comprising the lyocell fabric processed were produced by Tencel Limited under the Trade Mark TENCEL.
- a lyocell fabric comprised a woven fabric of base weight 200 gsm (grams per square metre) constructed in a 2 by 1 twill weave from yarns of count l/20s Ne comprising 100 per cent TENCEL fibres.
- the fabric was scoured in open width using an aqueous scour bath containing a non-ionic detergent and sodium carbonate and at a temperature of 90° C to desize it and then was dried on a stenter at a temperature of 100° C.
- the desized fabric was then evenly impregnated with an aqueous solution of citric acid at a concentration of 4.0 g/1 (grams per litre) by uniformly squeezing the solution into the fabric using a pad mangle at an expression of 80 per cent wet pick-up.
- the impregnated fabric was dried and heat-treated on a stenter frame in air at a temperature of 160° C for 5.0 minutes. After thorough rinsing with water and drying, the treated fabric was then ready for dyeing.
- Dyeing was carried out in a Thies Ecosoft jet dyeing machine.
- an untreated but desized control fabric of the same specification was also dyed and finished as hereinafter set out.
- the dyeing method used was a hot exhaust migration dyeing method carried out over a period of six hours using an aqueous dyebath containing:-
- Procion Navy H-EXL dye at 4.0 per cent owf (on weight of fabric) (Procion is a trademark of Dystar AG) Sodium sulphate at 60 g/1 Soda ash at 20 g/1.
- the dyed control fabric had a matted surface appearance with a frosty look caused by the many protruding long fibres characteristic of primary fibrillation, and it was disfigured by visible crease marks caused by the abrasive action of the jet dyeing machine on the rope of fabric being processed.
- the fabric treated according to the process of the invention had a uniformly clean surface appearance showing even dyeing, a soft-touch finish of sufficient development to be characterised as a peach-touch finish, and virtual absence of visible crease marks.
- Example 2
- Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using the same fabrics for both the treated and control samples but with the citric acid used in the impregnation step being replaced by CONDENSOL FB, a mixture of magnesium chloride and zinc fluoroborate sold as an acid catalyst for resin finishing of textiles, at a concentration of 20 g/1 (CONDENSOL FB is a trademark of BASF AG) .
- CONDENSOL FB is a trademark of BASF AG
- the untreated control fabric was again of matted appearance with unsightly visible crease marks caused by the jet dyeing procedure.
- the treated fabric on the contrary, had an attractive peach-touch finish with a clean surface free from visible crease marks.
- a double jersey interlock fabric knitted from l/30s Ne lyocell yarns was slit to open width. Part of the fabric was kept as an untreated control and part was impregnated in a pad bath at 80 per cent wet pick-up with an aqueous solution containing 12 g/1 magnesium chloride hexahydrate and 1.0 g/1 Kieralon JET (Kieralon is a trademark of BASF AG), a wetting agent. The impregnated fabric was then placed on a stenter and dried in air at a temperature of 110° C before being heat-treated in air at a temperature of 190° C for 45 seconds.
- the treated fabric and the control fabric were then individually subjected to the following scouring, dyeing, softening and drying regime. Scouring was carried out using an aqueous solution of a non-ionic detergent and sodium carbonate at a temperature of 90° C for 30 minutes. The fabrics were then rinsed in water before being dyed in a jet dyeing machine as described in Example 1 using the same dyebath recipe but with the dye at 3.0 per cent owf.
- the dyed fabrics were treated with a soft finish, Sandoperm MEJ (Sandoperm is a trademark of Clariant) , at 2.0 per cent owf from an aqueous bath at a temperature of 40° C and were then tumble-dried in a Biancalani Airo 1000 fabric rope tumbler.
- the dyed control fabric had a matted surface appearance with many protruding long fibres characteristic of primary fibrillation.
- the fabric treated according to the invention had a soft peach-touch finish and a uniform, clean appearance free from a hairy effect and free from visible crease marks .
- a lyocell fabric comprised a woven fabric of base weight 150 gsm constructed in a 2 by 1 twill weave from yarns of count 1/24s Ne comprising 100 per cent lyocell fibres.
- the fabric was scoured in open width with an aqueous solution comprising a non-ionic detergent and sodium carbonate at a temperature of 90° C and was then dried on cylindrical heating cans at a temperature of 100° C.
- Condensol M (which is a trademark of BASF AG) is a 32 per cent by weight solution of magnesium chloride.
- the impregnated fabric was dried at a temperature of 110° C and then heat treated in air at a temperature of 190° C for 45 seconds whilst on a stenter.
- the treated fabric was then cut into shaped panels which were sewn together to make shirts.
- the shirts were dyed in an open-pocket Tupesa Ecodye 25 garment dyeing machine using the hot exhaust migration dyeing method with the following dye recipe using a final fixation temperature of 80°C :- Procion H-EXL at 2.0 per cent owf
- the dyed shirts were rinsed with water and were then treated with a soft finish, Edunine CSA, at 2.0 per cent owf, applied from an aqueous bath at a temperature of 40° C. The shirts were then tumble-dried.
- Edunine CSA a soft finish
- the shirts were then tumble-dried.
- the dyed and finished shirts had an attractive peach-touch finish free from visible crease marks and long fibrils.
- a woven lyocell fabric as specified in Example 4 was scoured and dried as set out in that Example and then divided into two lots, one to act as a control and one for treatment according to the invention. The latter was impregnated with the Condensol M solution and then dried and heat-treated as specified in Example 4.
- Both the treated and control fabrics were respectively dyed in open width by a cold pad batch technique using Remazol vinyl sulphone dyes (Remazol is a trademark of Dystar AG).
- the dyebath was:- Remazol Brilliant Yellow GL at 10 g/1 Remazol Red RB at 20 g/1 Remazol Navy Blue GG at 40 g/1 Sodium Silicate (38Be) at 130 g/1 Caustic Soda (38Be) at 38.5 g/1 Leonil SRP (wetting agent) at 3.0 g/1.
- the dye was applied by padding at 75 per cent wet pick-up, after which the dyed fabric was batched in polyethylene film for 8 hours.
- the fabrics were then each cut into sets of shaped panels which were sewn together to make two sets of shirts, one set from the treated fabric and the other set from the control fabric.
- the shirts were washed and softened for 40 minutes in a Tupesa Ecodye 25 open pocket washer using an aqueous solution of Edunine CSA (2.0 per cent owf) at a temperature of 60° C.
- the shirts made from the control fabric had a matted, hairy surface and visible crease marks, whereas the shirts made from the treated fabric had a peach-touch finish of clean, uniform appearance.
- a lyocell fabric comprised a woven fabric of basis weight 210 gsm constructed in a 2 by 1 twill weave from yarns of count l/20s Ne comprising 65:35 weight blend of lyocell and cotton fibres.
- This fabric was scoured in open width in an aqueous solution of a non-ionic detergent and sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 90° C, bleached in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide and peroxide stabiliser, and then steamed at a temperature of 100° C for 8.0 minutes before being washed in water and then dried on cylindrical drying cans.
- the fabric was then separated into a length for a control and a length for treatment according to the invention.
- the fabric for treatment was padded with an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in concentration 14 g/1 at a wet pick-up of 80 per cent, dried at a temperature of 119° C and then heat treated at a temperature of 170° C for 3.0 minutes on a stenter.
- control and treated fabrics were dyed and finished in the same way as follows :-
- Example 1 followed by water rinsing, softening as in Example 1 and tumble drying in a Thies Rototumbler.
- the control fabric had a matted, hairy surface and was commercially unacceptable.
- the treated fabric had an attractive peach-touch finish free from visible crease marks and was of a clean, uniform appearance.
- a lyocell fabric as specified in Example 4 was scoured and dried as set out in that Example. Some of the fabric was reserved as a control and the rest was impregnated with magnesium chloride hexahydrate and then dried and heat treated by the procedure described in Example 6. It was then washed in water to remove any residual magnesium chloride hexahydrate and then dried. Some of the treated fabric was reserved for processing only according to the following dyeing and finishing stages and some was first given a> causticising treatment in a chainless mercerising system using an 11 per cent by weight aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
- control fabric had matted primary fibrillation on its surface and had many visible crease marks showing as white lines.
- the treated but uncausticised fabric had no crease marks and had an attractive clean, peach-touch finish. It was of a slightly paler colour than the control fabric.
- the treated and causticised fabric had the same clean, peach-touch finish free from visible crease marks but had an enhanced dye yield both with respect to the uncausticised treated fabric and the control fabric.
