  • Stain-blockers are usually ionic in nature and can be equally well applied in both discontinuous and continuous application in the carpet manufacturing process. In the continuous application, the carpet runs through the usual dyeing and printing stages, whereas in the discontinuous application various separate baths are used.
  • the procedure to apply the stain-blocker to the textile can be in two steps or in a single application step.
  • the stain-blocker application is followed by a treatment with one or more of X1, X2 or X3.
  • stain-block chemistry is applied and one or more of X1, X2 or X3 are applied simultaneously, using foam application process technology such as is practiced in the trade.
  • a dosage rate of 3.0 to 7.0% aqueous liquor on weight of fiber is recommended for the stain blocker.
  • a separate treatment bath for the stain-blocking is used after the carpet dyeing process.
  • the carpet is treated for a time period of from 20 to 30 minutes at a temperature of from 70 to 75 °C.
  • the pH-value depends on the type of stain-blocker and should be held between 2.5 and 7.0.
  • the carpet runs through the usual dyeing and printing stages.
  • the stain-blocker is applied through a suitable application mechanism such as a dip trough, waterfall applicator or fluidyer.
  • the stain block liquor should be applied at or around 60 °C ⁇ 10 °C, although the process will also work at colder temperatures.
  • the stain-blocker is fixed in the steamer with a steaming time of 60 to 90 seconds.
  • the carpet is then washed, vacuumed and dried.
  • a soil resistant and water repellent application with one or more of components X1, X2, or X3 follows the stain-blocker, in the same process.
  • Suitable dispersing agents for this purpose include, but are not limited to, fatty alcohol polyglycolethers (e.g. Sera® Sperse M-DEW; DyStar Textilmaschine GmbH & Co.) and alkyl aryl aminethoxylate (e.g. Avolan® IW liquid, Tanatex® Chemicals, The Netherlands), both of which are nonionic in nature.

  • the textile fibers for the substrate, the carpet or the floor covering which is subjected to treatment with the compositions of the invention is of synthetic or natural origin.
  • Suitable synthetic textiles are made from polymer bases such as polyamide like polyamide 6.6, which is known as poly(hexamethylene adipamide), or polyamide 6, which is known as poly(caprolactam), or polyesters like poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(propylene terephthalate), or poly(propylene), or mixtures or blends of one or more of such suitable polymer bases.
  • Suitable textiles of natural origin are fibres made from wool or cotton.
  • Soil resistant and water repellent chemicals are usually applied as the last step in carpet finishing, after application of stain resist chemistry, and prior to drying or backing. Soil resistant and water repellent chemicals may be applied to the carpet via spray application or foam application, which is known in the art. Following dilution of as-received formulated products, industry-recommended rates for application are from 1.0 wt% to 1.6 wt% on weight of carpet fiber (corresponding to 500 ppm to 800 ppm elemental fluorine content). However, application ranges for the fluorine-free fiber protection compositions useful for purpose of this disclosure are usually from 0,25 to 3,5 wt%.
  • Spray application is the easiest method of applying soil resistant and water repellent chemicals.
  • a spray facility may be installed in front of a dryer after coloration or in front of a latex backing oven.
  • a suction hood should be installed above the spray bar.
  • An aqueous solution of the composition is pumped through spray nozzles, installed above the running carpet, onto the carpet pile. For better distribution/penetration into the pile the solution should be applied to moistened carpet fiber.
  • an aqueous liquor of the composition is pumped into a tank where it is metered for application by a spinning rotary plate. The rotary plate acts to apply microscopic droplets of the aqueous composition in uniform fashion onto the moving fiber, yarn, fabric, textile or carpet substrate.
  • Foam application is the most advanced method for the treatment of carpets with soil resistant and water repellent chemicals. By using this minimum moisture application system, highly concentrated liquors in a foam state are applied to carpets running past. A further advantage of the foam application method is its improved penetration. Foam application facilities can be installed in front of a dryer or a latex backing oven. In case of insufficient foam stability a foaming agent can be added advantageously. These foaming agents are formulated in such a way that they decompose under common drying temperatures and do not negatively impact the performance of the soil resistant and water repellent chemicals.
  • Suitable foaming agents include, but are not limited to alkyl amine oxides, for example Laviron 118 SK (Pulcra Chemicals, Germany) and Genaminox® CSL (Clariant, Switzerland), C 12 to C 18 coconut fatty acid alkyl dimethyl amine oxides, available from Clariant, sodium alpha olefin sulphonates (e.g. Hansanyl® OS, Hansa Group AG, Germany) and sodium laureth sulfate (e.g. Hansanol® NS 242 conc, Hansa Group AG, Germany).

  • This test determines a finished carpet's resistance to wetting by aqueous liquids. Drops of water-alcohol mixtures of varying surface tensions are placed on the fabric and the extent of surface wetting is determined visually. If after 10 seconds, four out of the five drops are still visible as spherical to hemispherical, the carpet is given a passing rating and the test is repeated with a higher rating number liquid.
  • the repellency rating of the sample is the highest rating number liquid used to pass the repellency test. Carpets with a rating of 4 or higher have good anti-soiling properties. Without anti-soil treatment, most nylon carpets have a rating of 1 for water repellency.

The cup is removed and the stained carpet sample is allowed to sit undisturbed for 24 hours. Following incubation, the stained sample is rinsed thoroughly under cold tap water, excess water is removed by centrifugation, and the sample is dried in air. The carpet sample was visually inspected and rated for staining according to the FD&C Red No. 40 Stain Scale described in AATCC Method 175-2003. Stain resistance is measured using a 1-10 scale. An undetectable test staining is accorded a value of 10.
