Description
Method for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric and water repellent composition The invention relates to a method for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric, to a composition for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric and to woven or non-woven fabric treated with the said composition.
Method for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric are known in the art.
Up to now, the provision of durable water repellence to fabric has relied on fluorocarbon-based treatments that are highly effective and extraordinarily durable.
However, the by-products such as fluor surfactants and derivatives based on C8 and C6 fluor surfactants are toxic and persist in the environment, a combination that makes it unacceptable despite its excellent performance.
Many coatings that are fluor-free today have a short life span.
A water repellent rain shell functionally degrades into a wind shell long before the garment itself wears out.
JP2020153057 describes a vinyl-based polymerisation of a specific divinyl compound with a molecular weight of 600 or more involving chemical bonding of the vinyl polymer to polyester fabric.
An additional film is applied, comprising a fluorinated copolymer or an acrylic monomer that is polymerized with a perfluoroalkyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms.
The additional film is crosslinked by a melamine resin.
JP2020007657 describes a fibre treatment composition containing a water repellent and a polyisocyanate.
The present invention provides method for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric and a fiber treatment composition that can impart water repellency having excellent washing durability to a fiber product without fluor components and without the use of isocyanates or melamine boosters.
The present method for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric results in a highly durable and sustainable water repellent coating on the fabric, that remains unaffected even after 100 or more rounds of machine washing.
To this end, the method comprises the following steps: i) treating the fabric with an aqueous composition, the composition comprising: a. an aqueous solvent comprising at least 80 w/w% water, and 20 w/w% or less of a water miscible organic solvent, and b. 0.1 — 40 w/w% of an acrylic ester having the formula 1: Ao CHC dga? , wherein A' is H or CHs, and A? is C:-C39 linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon that may have an alicyclic or aromatic ring, the acrylic ester being dissolved, emulsified or dispersed in the aqueous solvent, ii) heating the treated fabric to 145 - 200°C.
It has been found that the acrylic esters as defined is capable of binding to the fabric and to polymerize in the aqueous solvent by heat treatment. Without being bound to any scientific explanation, it is believed that the presence of a water miscible organic solvent functions in polymerisation of the acrylic ester. Such acrylic esters are known in the art, such as Unidyne XF series (Daikin, Japan) and Neoseed NR series (Nicca Chemicals, Japan).
The fabric is first treated with the composition comprising the acrylic ester in an aqueous solvent, the solvent comprising both water and a water miscible solvent. After treatment the treated fabric is subjected to a heat treatment.
By the heat treatment, the acrylic ester polymerized and binds to the fabric, resulting in a very strong and sustainable water repellence.
It is preferred that the fabric as treated in step i) is dried before being heated. It is however also possible to combine the heating with the drying. However, drying can take place at a lower temperature than heating. Heating is between 145 and 200°C, whereas drying takes place preferably between 100 and 140°C, preferably below 140°C. Drying is carried out for about 1 — 10 minutes, preferably about 1 — 3 minutes.
The water miscible solvent preferably comprises at least two functional OH groups. It is believed that the OH groups are capable of forming a covalent C-O-C bond with the oxygen of the C=O group of the acrylic ester of formula 1, and thus resulting in polymerisation of the acrylic ester. With ‘functional OH group’ is therefore meant that the said group is capable of forming the said C-O-C bond.
Accordingly, the water miscible solvent is preferably chosen from the group, consisting of: ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, propylene glycol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol dimethyl ether, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, tripropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, polypropylene glycol and hexylene glycol. Most preferred is tripropylene glycol.
The aqueous solvent preferably comprises 95 — 99 w/w% water and 1 — 5 w/w% miscible organic solvent.
For optimal water repellence, the A? moiety of the acrylic ester has 12 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably 12 to 21 carbon atoms. The A? moiety is preferably alkyl and/or linear.
The composition preferably comprises 0.2 - 20 w/w% acrylic ester, more preferably 0.5 — 10 w/w%.
In a very attractive embodiment, the composition is fluorine free. This means that there are no compounds present in the composition that have fluorine groups in their molecular backbone.
However, in another attractive embodiment, the composition comprises a fluorinated C:-C29 alkyl compound having a functional terminal group, capable of forming a covalent bond with the oxygen of the C=O group of the acrylic ester of formula 1. By the addition of such a compound, the said compound can be linked to the acrylic ester via the C=O group thereof. This linkage can e.g. take place during the heating step. By the provision of such a fluorinated acrylic ester, not only water repellence, but also oil repellence is obtained, still without the need for isocyanates or melamine boosters. The fluorinated alkyl compound is preferably linear.
In an attractive embodiment, the fluorinated alkyl compound is a Cs-Cz9 alkyl, 1 to 6 of the carbon atoms being fully substituted with fluorine. The term ‘fully substituted with fluorine’ means that all the H atoms of the respective carbon atom have been replace by a fluorine atom. A saturated terminal carbon atom will, when fully substituted, have three fluorine atoms, and a saturated internal carbon, i.e. flanked by two adjacent carbon atoms by a single bond, will have two fluorine atoms. This means that the fluorine groups can be scattered throughout the alkyl backbone. Such compounds are e.g. known from WO2016/096128.
The fluorinated C:-Cz9 alkyl compound preferably comprises a terminal acryl group for linkage to the acrylic ester of formula 1, as e.g. is described in
JP2020153057, and as are known in the art, e.g. The Unidyne TG Series (Daikin, Japan). The composition preferably comprises 0.2 — 10 w/w%, more preferably 0.5 — 5 w/w% of the fluorinated C:-C29 alkyl compound.
In a particular embodiment, the fluorinated C2-C29 alkyl compound is allowed to be covalently linked to the oxygen of the C=O group of the acrylic ester of formula 1 before the treatment of the fabric. In that case, the composition comprises a fluorinated acrylic ester instead of a non-fluorinated acrylic ester as would be the case in the above described embodiments.
In step ii), the heating is preferably performed at 140 — 180°C, more preferably at 150 - 170°C and most preferably around 160°C. It has been found that such a heating step result in an excellent polymerisation and binding to the fabric. The temperature also depends on the treated fabric. The heating step can be performed by exposure of the treated fabric to a hot air stream, or by residing in a heat chamber, or e.g. by ironing. The skilled person will be aware of the proper temperature choice. The heating step is preferably performed for 30 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably for 1 — 3 minutes.
The treatment of step i) is preferably chosen from dipping the fabric in the composition, or spraying the composition onto the fabric. Dipping means that the fabric is immersed in the composition. Dipping is preferred, but spraying is a very attractive home appliance, where the fabric can be sprayed from an aerosol comprising the composition, whereafter the heat treatment can be performed by ironing. In an industrial setting, the treated fabric is preferably dipped and padded subsequently, in order to remove superfluous liquid composition.
In another aspect, the invention relates to a composition for conferring durable water repellence to woven or non-woven fabric as described above.
In still another aspect, the invention relates to woven or non-woven fabric as described herein, treated with the composition, in particular as described herein. The invention will now be further illustrated by way of examples and figure, showing a possible industrial set up for the method of the invention.
The arrows reflect the transportation direction of the fabric 1, guided by guidance rollers 2. The process is continuous, e.g. without interruption. Fabric 1 is immersed in a bath 3 comprising the composition 4 of the invention. After leaving the bath 3, the fabric 4 passes through two padding rolls 5, squeezing the superfluous liquid composition from the fabric. The fabric is dried with hot air in drying chamber 6, where the temperature is e.g. 130°C, and eventually enter a heating chamber, where the temperature is e.g. 160°C. 5 Examples Water repellence Samples of PES 1 fabric 135 gr/m? and PES 2 fabric 190 gr/m? (MB Sportswear, Eindhoven Netherlands) were washed 100 times according to the method of Iso 6330 3G or 4H. After washing, the water repellence is measured by the ISO 4920 (version 2012- 12) spray method Commercial washing cycles: The water repellence measured by the Iso 4920 spray method after washing 120 times according to the method of using a commercial washing machine of the type Miele Twindos (Germany) using the program Express 2.0 and the detergent Colour Reus extra strong against stains, extra clean (Henkel, Germany). The program specifications and the contents of the detergent are given in tables 1 and 2, respectively.

Sample preparation The fabric sample was cut 15 x 15 cm from the reel and by dipping the fabric for 1 minute in the coating emulsion. The uncoated fabric was weighed in duplo. After dipping, the coated sample was placed on a rubber sleeve of a manual coating unit (RK prints) for the padding process. With a smooth roller with a weight of 10 kg the excess of emulsion was squeezed out by 2 times rolling the roller over the fabric.
The samples was dried in an oven with forced air ventilation for 3 minutes at 130°C ; subsequently the sample was cured for 1 minute at 160°C. After curing, the sample was weighted in duplo again.
The compositions as used in examples 1 — 4 are given in table 3.

11.0 In examples 1 and 3, a polyester woven fabric PES 135 gr/m? (‘pique’) (MB Sportswear, Eindhoven Netherlands) was used, whereas in examples 2 and 4, 195 gr/m2 ‘smooth’ (MB Sportswear, Eindhoven Netherlands) was used. It was observed that all examples, after the washing cycles retained their water repellence. Grade iso 5 was measured for all samples before the first washing and after 100 or 120 times washing. Grade 5 means that no sticking or wetting of the upper surface was observed. The same was true for examples 1 and 3 when the dipping was replaced by spraying and the padding was replaced by tumbling in a tumble dryer (AEG Lavatherm protex plus, AEG, Germany) with the program setting ‘cotton extra dry’. Heating was performed by ironing at 150°C (level **) for example 1 and at 200°C (level **“*) for example 2, in conformity with the ironing prescriptions of the fabric manufacturer. Also for these samples, Grade iso 5 was measured for all samples before the first washing and after 100 or 120 times washing.
The oil repellence for examples 2 and 4 as measured according to AATCC118 was grade 5 - 6 after 100 — 120 times washing.
