TREATMENT OF VEGETABLE FIBROUS MATERIAL TO PRODUCE WOOLLIKE EFFECTS.
Nollrawing. Application filed October 30, 1926, Serial No. 145,381, and in Germany August 19, 1926.
. such as some of my own prior patents, that vegetable fabrics experience a contraction'in consequence of treatment with reagents that have a swelling action on the vegetable fibres if the reaction is alowed to take place without hindrance in a loose state of the goods, i. e., without a counteracting tension; In consequence of the contraction of the fibres during the treatment the fabric becomes more dense and is given a certain wool-like character,
i. e., like fine thin woolen fabric.
The object'of the present invention is to obtain a woollike effect in a simple and less expensive manner than heretofore obtainable.
It has been discovered in accordance with 1 this invention that augmented and more pronounced wool effects are obtained if caustic alkali solutions of previous known merceriz ing strengths and preferably caustic soda are caused to act upon the raw vegetable fibres,
while the material is allowed to lay loose to attain full shrinkage due to the swelling agent, and if the usual bleaching by alkali boiling is entirely excluded; that is to say, if the fibres are subjected to any alkali treatment before the swellingreagent acts, such alkali treatment shall be simply a gentle bleaching, preferably a cold bleaching, as distinguished from the customary alkali boil ing; and on the other hand, if there is to be no preliminary alkali treatment before the swelling reagent is applied, but there is to be an alkali treatment or bleaching after the swelling agent acts, then again such subsequent alkali treatment must be merely a gentle bleaching, preferably a cold bleaching, as distinguished from a bleaching by alkali boiling. Y It is essential that alkali boiling be excluded, and that if there is a cleansing of the vegetable fibres before or after the swelling'treatments it should be merely a'careful cleansing without alkali boiling. It is important to keep the material in a loosestate throughout the process-starting with the i. e., fibres which still have the natural incrustations or coatings adhering to them and swelling agent, so as not to prevent or materially impair or reduce the fully shrunk effects Even in drying, the material should only be stretched enough to remove folds or creases.
An expedient method of procedure is, for example, to subject the raw fabrics to a weak preliminary cleansing to remove the dressing, say for example with dilute acid or diastase or similar ferments, and therupon to introduce the fabrics into the caustic soluavian" tion. After completion of the swelling reac- .tion and removal of the surplus swelling agent, there follows the bleaching of the goods, provided such bleaching is desired. In this oneshould proceed very gently, and if bleaching is desired, it is best to adopt the means of cold bleaching and to avoid all alkaline boiling. The cold bleaching may be carried out by cold or only slightly heated alkaline hypochlorite solutions; cold hydrogen peroxide or sodium peroxide baths are also suitablen As an alternative procedure, one may first subject the raw fabric to a gentle bleaching and then cause the caustic to act upon it.
The swelling must be carried out in such a manner that a tensing of the fabric is obviated. This maybe effected by carefully laying the fabric into vats, or else use may be made of a machine for continuous treatment of the fabric. Such a machine should provide suitable means for subjecting the fabric in'an untensioned or loose state to the.
swelling agents as the fabric is moved along, and with meansfor squeezing out the excess swelling agent and for thereafter supporting the fabric in loose-state, such as fanwise or in folds, and carrying it along, so that the contraction'of the fabric is'permitted to work itself out completely due to the action of the swelling agent thereon, after which the fabric may be passed through; suitable washing means and allowed to dry, care being taken goods are desized, that is, well washed out but not bleached or boiled} after which the goods are readyto be treated b the swelling 7' agent. 7 This may be done pre erably by the use of some suitable machine by means of soda",
at a temperature of approximately (3-,
oughly.
which t goods is impregnated with the' swelling feagentwhich in this case is caustic a strength of approximately 30 B.
the goods being. subjected to this reagent while in loose state as statedyand after such action b the reagent the are-not immediate y washed out but are left in loose condition for say 10 or minutes under the influence of the retained swelling ent, so that the gods have time to shrx thorsome instances the goods may be impregnated twice beforethey .are left to la loose as stated. After the shrinkage has ta on place the goods may be washed,
soured, again washed-and then dried without tension. Thatis to say, in goods should only be stretched sufliciently to take out the folds but not sufficiently to materiallydreduce or counteract the-shrinkage obtaine The result is a wool-like finish of the gen eralcharacter of that described and claimed 1n my United States'Patent No. 1,392,264,
' granted September 27, 1921, obtainable in a less expensive and more ready manner. 7
The process may be applied to all kinds of fabrics, to woven and knit goods, embroidery,
as well as all other vegetable fibrous products f that have asurface. This improvement is likewise applicable to products made of mixtures of vegetable fibres with animal fibres aswell as with artificial fibrous materials.
In accordance with this invention the wellknown cre on effects can also be attained with specia softness by this means, that the swelling agents are caused to act locally upon the raw or only slightly cleansed fabrics. At the spots where the swelling agent acts, the fibre contracts and a soft wool-like effect is formed, while the unchanged spots of the fabric bulge out like blisters or swollen parts. The apglication of the swelling agents may be ected by direct imprinting, or one may proceed by means of resist printing and su sequent impregnation. In the case of the resist printing, d es may .at the same time, in well-known fas "on, be locally incorporated-in the fibre, or fabrics'thathave been previously dyed may be locallydischarged by means of the resist so .as to be white or colored. By means of subsequent.
