Description

Patented May 3, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GUSTAVE LECOMTE, OF BOUSSILLON, FRANCE, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO IDU PON'I. BAYOII COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE LUBRICATION OF TEXTILE FIBERS This invention relates to the art of dressi ing textile threads or fibers and more particularly tothe dressing or coating of'cellulose acetate threads or fibers. I
Textile threads or fibers of all sources have been treated for the purpose of impartingto them luster, softness and flexibility or to facilitate the finishing operations. to the physical and chemical properties of the various fibers, it is desirable that the dressing produce other results. For instance, cellulose acetate threads or fibers have a j tendency to show electrification phenomenon,
and it is desirable in the treatment of these '15 materials to choose a substance or composition which will counteract or offset this effect as well as dress the fibers. The methods of treatment and compositions employed heretofore made use of varizo ous oils, such as mineral oils, drying'oils or animal and vegetable oils. ,These oils, though they possess satisfactory" dressing characteristics, have disadvantages which render their use unsatisfactory. Mineral I oils, such as araflin oil, Vaseline oil and the like, have t e disadvantage of not being saponifiable. Also they are very difiicult to remove... These are serious faults with re-.
gard to the subsequent treatments of the thread'or fiber and especially in dyeing.
Drying oils, such as linseed oil, dry and form resins which are also very difiicult to remove by any ordinary treatment. Animal and vegetable oils, such as olive oil and neats-foot oil, though capableof saponification, have the unfortunate property of becoming rancid I and of impregnating the thread or fabric with an objectionable odor which is difficult or impossible to remove. '1 40 I have found that I can overcome the above set forth disadvantages and produce a dressed I or coated thread or fiber by using dressing compositions including oxidizing semi-drying vegetable oils. It is, therefore, an object a of this invention to dress or coat threads or fibers with a composition which will impart the desirable characteristics without becoming rancid or resinifi'edg It is a further ob ect of thisjnvention to dress or coat threads dfifibers with a commi rewin Application filed April 27, 1928, Serial No. 273,439, and in France December 24', 1927.
position which is capable of being easily removed and which will not interfere with the subsequent operations of the thread.
A specific object of this invention is to dress i or coat cellulose acetate threads or fibers so that not only will; the finishing operation thereof be "facilitated but the electrification L phenomenon thereof will be counteracted or tions of oxidation oils having definite con- 6 stants can be uniformly prepared. 1.
These oxidized oils. are very satisfactory 7 for dressing textile fibers. When applied to g' the fibers, they impart a good smoothness and excellent texture. Due to their high viscosity the oils keep the filaments in a compact bundle. They also are capable of producing stable and concentrated soapy emulsions without the use of emulsifying agents.-
Furthermore, these oilscan readily and easily be removed from the fibers by mere Q treatment with water at a low temperature.
On storage there is no change in the odor of i the oil or in the texture of the fiber. These When these oils are oils are not subject torancidity or oxidation and are rather stable.
applied to'cellulose acetate fibers they-not 7 only facilitate subsequent operations, but
y also counteract, suppress-or oil'setthe electrification phenomenon.
These oi'l's may be applied tothe in any one of various ways. Forexample, the oils, per se, may be applied to the fibers. If
desired, theoils may be emulsifiedin water and the aqueous emulsion applied to the fiber; or, the-oils may be dissolved in some. solvent, preferably volatile, and the solution applied tothe fibers. The oil, emulsion, or solution thereof, is applied to the fibers in. any suitable manner. If an emulsion of :Oil is used, the
impregnated or coated fabric is subsequently subjected to a drying to remove the water.
In case a solution of oil in some volatile solvent is used, after application to the fibers, I the solvent may be recovered by any well known means.
In order to more clearly explain this in vention the following specific examples are set forth:
I Emmple 1.-Oxidized rapeseed oil having an iodine number of -60 and a viscosity of 20-25 C. G. S. is emulsified in water with the aid of 245% of silk throwsters soap. A solution having a 20-25% concentration of the oil produces satisfactory results. It is obvious that other concentrations and emulsifying agents may be used.
Erampfe $2.--Oxidized cottonseed oil is dissolved in heavy gasoline. The use of a solution containing 23% of oil has given satisfactory results. Concentrations and sol.- vents other than those specifically set forth may be used. After application of this solution to the threads or fibers, the treated threads or fibers are dried and the solvent recovered.
Various materials may be added to the luhrivatingcomposition to produce special qualities. For example, if special qualities of texture. smoothness or cohesion are desired. small quantities of other lubricating or adhesive compounds or substances, such as olive oil, castor oil, sheeps wool grease and the like, may be added to the oil composition.
The invention is notintended to be limited to the. precise and exact details as set forth above, since it is obvious that various modifications may be made without departing from the nature and scope ofv the invention.
I claim: a
1. Textile fibers or threads coated with a. composition comprising an oxidized scmidrying vegetable oil.
2. Textile fibers or threads coated with a colmposition comprising oxidized cottonseed o1 Y 3. Artificial textile fibers or thrcads coated with a composition comprising anoxidizcd semi-drying vegetable oil.
4. Cellulose acetate fibers or threads coated with a composition comprising an oxidized -semi-drying vegetable oil.
5. Cellulose acetate fibers or threads coated with a composition comprising oxidized cottonseed oil.
6. Cellulose acetate fibers or threads coated with a composition comprising oxidized cottonseed oil and a small quantity of another lubricant.
7. Artificial textile fibers or threads coated with a composition comprising oxidized cottonseed oil.
fibers 8. Artificial textile or threads formed of a cellulose derivative coated with rapeseed oil.
fibers or threads 12. Artificial textile formed of a cellulose derivative coated with a i pomposition comprising oxidized rapeseed o 13.v Cellulose acetate fibers or threads coated with a composition comprising oxidized cottonseed oil.
In testimony whereof I. have atfixed my signature to this specification.
