Abstract
The use of textile lubricants, which are fatty acid mono- or diglycerides or water-soluble or emulsifiable reaction products of isocyanates with alkoxylated compounds, as additives in a washing process can prevent crease formation in the washed goods.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in or relating to organic compounds
This invention relates to the prevention of creasing during washing of textiles in domestic and industrial drum washing machines.
It is well known that the washing of textile materials in domestic or industrial drum washing machines very often causes crease formation and fibre damage, which make subsequent ironing or pressing operations very difficult. This is particularly prevalent when large quantities of textile material are treated in a small amount of wash liquor, for example in overloaded washing machines.
It is conventional, after the actual washing process, to aftertreat textiles with cationic softening agents in order to obtain the desired soft handle. Examples of such additives are quaternary ammonium compounds, particularly distearyldimethylammonium chloride and its alkoxyalkyl derivatives, and dialkylimidazolinium compounds. Although these products improve the handle of the goods, they generally have no effect upon crease formation.
It has now been found that when certain textile lubricants, known as additives in dyeing processes, are added to the wash liquor, textile goods can be washed in drum machines without crease formation and at the same time with retention of a soft handle.
According to the present invention, therefore, there is provided a process for washing textile goods in the presence of an additive selected from i) fatty acid mono- or diglycerides; ii) watersoluble or emulsifiable reaction products of isocyanates with alkoxylated compounds; and iii) mixtures of i) and ii).
The additives for use in the process according to the invention are known and certain of them are commercially available as dyeing assistants.
Suitable products are those having a water solubility or dispersability of at least 1 g/l, preferably at least 25 g/l at 200C, the solution or dispersion being stable for at least 1 2 hours at room temperature. The viscosity of a 0.5% solution should not exceed 100 cp at 200 C.
The preferred additives are fatty acid mono- or diglycerides, particularly monoglycerides of C,4~24, preferably C16~,8 fatty acids. The solubility or dispersability of these compounds in water may be improved by the addition of non-ionic surfactants, for example alkoxylated fatty alcohols.
Preferably, the additives are used in the form of a mixture with up to 30% by weight of a C,6~24 fatty alcohol alkoxylated with from 5 to 50 moles, preferably 20 to 30 moles, of ethylene oxide.
A further group of additives according to the invention are the reaction products of isocyanates with alkoxylated compounds having free hydroxy end groups. Particularly preferred compounds are those described in British Patent 1,583,795, especially the product of Example 14, which is the reaction product of toluene diisocyanate and an
ethylene oxide adduct of triethanolamine.
The additives are preferably used in the
washing process according to the invention in a
concentration of from 0.5 g/l to 50 g/l, more
preferably from 0.5 g/l to 30 g/l, particularly
1-5 g/l of the wash liquor.
The additives may be added to the washing
machine separately from the detergent, or may be
incorporated into a solid washing powder or a
liquid detergent composition.
The following Examples illustrate the
invention.
EXAMPLES 1 TO 4
Washing Conditions
The washing machine used was a Schulthess
Super 4 fully automatic drum machine with a drum volume of 38 1. The wash programme was controlled by programme cards. The capacity was
1.2 kg dry weight of goods and 22 1 cold water (approx. 11 0 hardness). The liquor to goods ratio was approx. 16:1 during washing and approx.
20:1 during rinsing. The load consisted of three pieces of each type of sample material, each 40 x 30 cm. The sample pieces were cut with serrated shears and (for synthetic and mixed fabrics) the edges were melted to prevent fraying.
Pieces of bleached and mercerised cotton poplin, 105 g/m2, 40 x 30 cm in size, were used as ballast material. In loading the machine, first the ballast material, then the sample pieces, each lightly balled up, where thrown into the drum, the position of each sample piece within the drum being quite random.
Washing was carried out using either a 600C or a 930C wash programme. In each case the additive according to the invention was added both during the pre-wash and during the main wash cycle, in an amount of 2 g/l. The additive was in each case added to the incoming water simultaneously with the detergent. The detergent was a conventional commercial washing powder, added in the concentration of approx. 1 g/l.
The washing programme was carried out as specified in DIN 53920. For the 600 wash (programme No. 4) the pre-wash temperature was 40"C, the main wash was at 600 for 10 min.
During the wash cycle the drum rotated in the "fine wash" mode (approx. 9 sec. rotation, approx.
6 sec. stationary) and during rinse cycles in normal mode (approx. 13.5 sec. rotation, approx. 1.5 sec.
stationary}. After an initial continuous rinse, three normal rinse cycles were carried out. The rinse water of the last cycle was not automatically pumped out. The duration of the programme was approx. 84 min.
The 930 wash programme (programme No. 2) had a pre-wash temperature of 400 C, followed by 930C for 10 min. Up to 800C and during the afterwash period the drum rotation was in the 'fine wash' mode, otherwise in the normal mode. The rinse cycle was as for programme 4 and the duration of the programme was approx. 120 min.
In both cases, the final rinse water was pumped out, and the drum was spun at 400 rpm for
approx. 16 sec. The sample pieces were then hung to dry at room temperature.
EXAMPLE 1
Programme 4 (600 wash)
The sample pieces used were of nylon satin,
nylon, dacron 54, orlon 75, 50/50
polyester/cotton and 67/33 polyester/cotton, all .wash and wear finished. The additive used was
glycerol monostearate.
EXAMPLE 2 Prograrnme 4 (600 wash)
Example 1 was repeated using as additive the
reaction product of toluenediisocyanate with an
ethylene oxide adduct of triethanolamine (Ex. 14 of British Patent No. 1,583,795).
EXAMPLE 3
Programme 2 (930 wash)
The sample pieces were wash and wear finished cotton poplin. The additive used was a
mixture of 75% wt. glycerol monostearate and
25% wt. oleylpolyglycol ether (22 ethylene oxide
units).
EXAMPLE 4
Programme 2 (930 wash)
Example 3 was repeated using the additive of
Example 2.
Evaluation
The washed and dried sample pieces were visually evaluated for the number and sharpness of creases as well as for snags and fibre breakages and for overall smoothness of appearance. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated on the basis of comparison with control samples and on the basis of the 5-step Monsanto standard.
The results from each of Examples 1 to 4 were good.
