TREATMENT OF FIBERS OF ACETYL CELLULOSE TO PRODUCE WOOL-LIKE EFFECTS.
No Drawing. Applicationfiled September 27, 1923, Serial No. 665,180, and in France November 9, 1922.
This invention relates to a process for as such or in fabrics consisting wholly or partly thereof.
In dyeingacetyl cellulose threads in acetic or formic acid media, it has been observed that at the raised temperature of the dye baths a woolly effect was produced on the acetyl cellulose artificial silk, which considerably affected the lustre of the goods, that is to say caused a dulling of the fiber.
According to the invention I obtain excellent soft, woolly effects" on yarns. or threads of acetyl cellulose as such or in fabrics consisting of or containing them, by heating said yarns or fabrics with solutions of acetic or formic acid of suitable concentration at about boiling temperature. acids are hereinafter included in the term a low aliphatic acid. The greater the concentration of the acetic acid or formic acid, the greater will be the woolly effect or the increase of volume of the fiber. However, when too great a quantity of the acid, is used, a dissolution of the acetyl cellulose silk may manifest itself, that is to say the fibers may be attacked to such an extent that their strength and elasticity are considerably reduced, so that they are rendered unsuitable for subsequent weaving. It is understood, therefore, that the concentration of the acid employed should be insufficiently high to cause substantial destruction of the fiber- It is moreover advantageous to add protective colloids to the strongly acid baths to prevent or restrain the. too pronounced attack of the fiber by the acids.
Where the word dissolution is used in the specification and claims, it is to be understood that it implies the act of dissolving and all stages thereof, so that it covers all phases of partial solution, as well as complete solution.
It has been further found that the same preventing or restraining effect can be obtained by the employment of suitable salts, in particular salts which are capable of exerting 'a. precipitating effect on the acetyl'celluloses dissolved or partially in solution. These salts may be employed alone or concurrently with the protective colloids.
Of the two acids, preference is given to acetic acid of suitably chosen concentration, because this, at a raised temperature, has a dissolving action on the acetyl cellulose Said and so gives beautiful, very supple or soft feeling woolly effects on threads or yarns or piece goods, of acetyl cellulose.
The process can be applied to cellulose acetate threads or yarns in hanks or fabrics or in mixed fabrics. whether in the. dyed or undyed state. Its employment offers remarkable advantages for mixed fabrics consisting of cellulose acetateartificial silk and various natural or artificial textile materials, where it is desired to obtain woolly or soft dull or matt effects.
