Abstract

An after-treatment agent for washed textiles which improves the feel of the textiles and which reduces shrinkage thereof, contains a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and/or polyvinyl acetate with a cationic protein hydrolysate, preferably a lauryl dimethyl ammonium hydroxy propylamino protein hydrolysate. The agents are applied as aqueous solutions.

Description

1 2 2 5 ') J '?,+ AFTER-TREATMENT AGENTS FOR WASHED TEXTILES The invention
relates to an after-treatment agent composition for washed textiles, a process for treating the washed textiles, and a textile so-treated. 1/ Washed textiles, in particular, but not exclusively, items of clothing, tend to lose their colour and f eel when they are washed due to the release of water-soluble finishing preparations. Also, during the drying stage, which generally takes place in a tumble drier, a shrinking/soiling process sets in which can cause such extreme changes to the size of the item of clothing such that items of clothing susceptible to it should not normally be dried in tumble driers.
It has been proposed to try to improve the feel of washed textiles and avoid shrinkage during drying, by subsequently treating the washed textiles with agents which contain active substances possibly in the form of distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride in combination with glyceromonolaurate or glycerodilaurate. However, the effect which can be achieved using these known after-treatment agents is insufficient to enable textile products which are not usually able to be dried in tumble driers (such as woollen jumpers, angora fabrics or pure wool suits) to be dried using this method. In addition, agents based on distearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSDI4AC) are undesirable because of their poor biological decomposition in waste water.
We have now found it possible to provide an after-treatment agent for washed textiles which improves the feel of textiles compared with textiles treated with the previously proposed after-treatment agents and which reduces shrinkage during drying in particular tumble drying. It is also desirable to obtain after-treatment agents which biologically decompose as rapidly as possible.
According to the present invention, there is provided an aftertreatment agent for washed textiles which is characterised in that it contains a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and/or polyvinyl acetate with at least one cationic protein hydrolysate.
It has been discovered that after-treatment agents in accordance with the present invention give the textiles treated with the agents a very pleasing silky elastic feel, and that shrinkage during tumble drying is reduced by more than a half compared with conventional after-treatment agents. Moreover, the cationic protein hydolysates are rapid. ly and completely biologically decomposable in waste water.
Various preferred features and embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of non-limiting example.
The protein hydrolysate used according to the inventionis preferably a lauryl dimethyl ammonium hydroxy propylamino protein hydrolysate of the general formula C 1 H3 H3C- (CH2)11-N -CH2-CH-CH2- (NH-CH-C) -OH 1 1 1 n CH, OH R wherein n denotes 1 to 3 and R denotes an amino acid residue of collagen.
During the acid hydrolysis of collagen, the following are formed: glycine, L-proline, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, L-glutamic acid, Larginine, Lalanine, L-asparagine acid, L-lysine, L-leucine, L-serine, L-isoleucine and smaller quantities of other amino acids, wherein Ltryptophan, Ltyrosine and L-cysteine are usually missing. Therefore, in the above formula, R preferably denotes at least the remainder of the above listed amino acids which are present in the hydrolysate, usually in a mixture in the form of side chains bonded on the main f rame.
This protein hydrolysate is a clear, yellow, slightly viscous liquid with an average molecular weight preferably in the range of 600 to 700.
The polyvinyl alcohols used according to the invention preferably have molecular weights in the range of 18 000 to 200 000, and they are k, P4 usually produced by alkali saponification of polyvinyl acetate. Therefore, the invention also encompasses polyvinyl alcohols which still contain acetate groups. The molecular weights of the polyvinyl alcohols according to the invention are even more preferably disposed in a range of 30 000 to 100 000. 1/ Polyvinyl acetate used according to the invention preferably has a molecular weight in the range of 10 000 to 1 500 000. Polyvinyl acetate can be produced by polymerisation of the vinyl acetate in bulk, in solution or in aqueous suspension or emulsion, mostly using per compounds. The especially preferred molecular weights for the polyvinyl acetate used in the present invention are within a range of 50 000 to 250 000.
It is expedient if the weight ratio of polyvinyl acetate and/or polyvinyl alcohol to cationic protein hydrolysate is within a range of 1: 2 to 5, preferably within a range of 1: 3 to 5.
The following examples and comparative examples will serve to further explain the invention:
Examples and Comparative Examples 1 1 In the following examples, for purposes of comparison, products A and B were in the form of known after-treatment agents for washed textiles. Product A was composed of 5 parts by weight distearyldimethylammonium chloride, 15 parts by weight glycerin monolaurate, 10 parts by weight ethanol and 70 parts by weight water. Product B was composed of 10 parts by weight rice starch dissolved in 90 parts by weight water.
Both products C and D according to the invention were of the following composition, given in Table 1.
Table 1 - Parts by weight C D Polyvinyl alcohol 10 Polyvinyl acetate 10 Cationic Protein hydrolysate 4o 40 Water 50 50 100 The test fabrics were treated in 0.5% aqueous solutions of products A to D for 10 minutes at 300C, centrifuged to a residual moisture content of 40% and then dried in a domestic tumble drier on the "delicate" cycle to a residual moisture content of ca. 3% (iron dry).
The test fabrics were assessed in the following way after this treatment: pure wool test fabric, cloth binding 320 g/M2. Sensor assessment with the following distribution: spongy, soft, elastic, ample, hard.
1 11 4 Dryer shrinkage: Felt shrinkage fabric of the International Wool Secretariat (IWS). Loss in surface area as a percentage of the initial value.
The results are shown in Table II.
Table II
Feel of Item Drier Shrinkage Water without additive spongy 17% 0.5% Product A soft 12% 0.5% Product B hard 14% 0.5% Product C soft/ample 7% 0.5% Product D elastic/ample 5% It can be seen that the textiles which are treated with the after- treatment agent according to the invention had a much better feel and much less shrinkage from tumble drying than the textiles treated with known aftertreatment agents.
