Definitions

• the invention relates to a gray dope dyed superfine fibre and the fabrics made thereof, particularly the fabric may be further deeply dyed to a desired colours by additional dyeing process during dyeing and finishing stage; and the fabric after deep dyeing shall possess not only better touch of soft and extraordinarily but also a superior quality of colour fastness to crocking, colour fastness to light and colour fastness to laundering.
• the surface area of the fibre relatively increases that causes the fibre unable to be dyed the deep colour even the amount of dyestuff used in dyeing process reaches saturation condition, or the fibre may have been dyed to deep colour but the colour fastness is poor due to failure of penetration of dyestuff into the fibre structure. Therefore presently in order to obtain better colour fastness, the conventional fabrics made of superfine fibre can only be dyed to the even light colour.
• the inherent drawbacks incurred by the method shall include the colour matching and colour mixing to the dope dyed component is extremely difficult, and if subsequently proceeding to change colour of fabric is necessary it shall be extremely difficult to ensure that no any dope dyed component is left inside the pipe although pipe line cleaning work including to drain off the waste water and flush the pipe has completely finished.
• the invention provides a fabric made of superfine yarn containing gray dope dyed component which may be further deeply dyed to different colours under lower dyestuff concentration through additional dyeing process during dyeing and finishing stage.
• the fabric of the invention so obtained has good colour fastness to crocking and colour fastness to light, and has the advantage of reducing the loss caused by spending long period of time to drain off the waste water in case of colour change.
• the major purpose of the invention is to provide a superfine yarn having neutral colour hue containing gray dope dyed component and the fabric made of the superfine yarn which mono-filament denier is within a range of 0.01 ⁇ 0.5 denier.
• the another purpose of the invention is to provide a fabric made of the gray superfine yarn of the invention may be further deeply dyed to the desired colours during dyeing and finishing stage through additional dyeing process, and particularly the fabric, after dyeing, shall possess not only a desired touch of soft and extraordinarily but also a superior colour fastness to crocking, colour fastness to light and colour fastness to laundering.
• the fabric made of the said superfine yarn containing dope dyed component carries no any other colour hue, it is much easier to do colour match when the fabric is deeply dyed to the desired colour through additional dyeing process during dyeing and finishing stage, and the gray dope dyed component can be formed by pigments or dyestuffs, but the dope dyed component formed by pigments provides better colour fastness when applied on superfine yarn.
• the percentage by weight of the gray dope dyed component added to the polymer of the present invention no specific restriction is required but it is better to choose the range from 3 ⁇ 15 % by weight in general.
• the amount of the gray dope dyed component added is less than 3 % by weight it is apt to causing colour deviation between spindles due to poor mixing effect with polymer.
• the amount of dope dyed component added exceeds 15 % by weight the spinning property and physical property shall be affected and become poor.
• the invention also imposes no specific restriction on the form of and manner for adding the dope dyed component to polymer.
• the method more popularly used for adding the dope dyed component to polymer is making the dope dyed component into the form of masterbatch, and is fed into melting machine together with polymer by employing dosing unit.
• the polymer mainly used in the invention is polyester.
• other ingredients such as Titanium dioxide, antibiotics, anti-ultraviolet ray agent or anti-flaming agent can also be added to the polymer to obtain other mechanical properties.
• the superfine fibre containing dope dyed component of the invention has mono-filament denier of 0.01 ⁇ 0.5 denier, and preferably of 0.03 ⁇ 0.5 denier.
• the fabric shall be deeply dyed to obtain deep colour with real good colour fastness without the needed of additional dyeing process by using dope dyed component to improve colour fastness.
• the fabric lacks the desired touch of soft and vibrant.
• the mono-filament denier is less than 0.01 denier, the fabric will present the desired touch of soft and vibrant, but due to over-fine fibre more amount of dope dyed component is needed for improving the colour value and colour fastness, and the spinning and physical properties of the filament will become worse that cause the product unable to be accepted by customers.
• the filament may be made of single polyester by direct spinning method, or may be made of polyester and alkali easy soluble copolymerised polyester by bi-component spinning method to form split type or sea island type superfine compound yarn and than the alkali easy soluble copolymerised polyester is removed by employing the alkali-reduction treatment method to obtain superfine polyester fibre; normally when mono-filament denier is less than 0.25 denier the method of bi-component spinning followed by alkali-reduction treatment is often adopted while taking into consideration the productivity of spinning.
• the form of the gray superfine yarn disclosed by the invention is not restricted by any specific requirement, but may be of the draw textured yarn, or full draw yarn, or air textured yarn; or the superfine yarn may be used to form differential shrinkage gray dope dyed superfine draw textured yarn or to form differential shrinkage gray superfine full draw yarn in combination with the high shrinkage yarn having a shrinkage rate of boiling water higher than 15%. Besides, if dope dyed component is added to the high shrinkage yarn having a shrinkage rate of boiling water higher than 15%, better effect is then obtained.
• the manner for carrying out the additional dying process of the fabric made of the gray superfine yarn of the invention is not restricted by any specific requirement.
• the desired colour hue and value of the fabric shall be obtained simply by adjusting the colour value of the gray dope dyed superfine yarn or by adjusting the colour chroma and value of dyestuff.
• the fabric made of the gray dope dyed yarn of the invention shall have the following properties: Table 1 Test item Test results Test method Colour fastness to laundering Colour change Over level 4 AATCC 61-2A-1989 PET Stain resistance Over level 4 AATCC 61-2A-1989 Nylon Stain resistance Over level 3 AATCC 61-2A-1989 Colour fastness to crocking Colour fastness to dry crocking Over level 4 AATCC 8-1988 Colour fastness to wet crocking Over level 3 AATCC 8-1988 Colour fastness to light Over level 3 AATCC 16E-1982 (20 hrs)
