Definitions

  • emulsifying agents are sulphoricinoleates, or in most recent practice', other substances which like those above specified, are derived from the sulphonic acids group.
  • the attack may be so rapid, under favorable temperatures or other conditions that, for example, it is not possible to export to tropical countries artificial silks sized by these processes, since the threads are found to be completely destroyed on arrival at their destination.
  • a specimen A of viscose silk has been treated with a size of ordinary composition.
  • a specimen B of the same quality has been subjected to similar treatment but without the use of Turkey red oil.
  • the object of this invention is to obviate the employment, for sizing textile fibers and more particularly fibers of vegetable origin, of any substance liable to attack these fibers, including artificial silk, with a view to enabling the sized fibers to be exported to and used in tropical countries.
  • the invention absolutely avoids the use of sulphoricinates and other'sulphonated compounds as emulsifying agents for the preparation of emulsions to be employed as sizes.
  • emulsions of oils, fats, resin or mixtures of the substances in a dispersion of casein, gelatin or shellac or a mixture of these substances are employed for this treatment.
  • dispersion agents alkaline borates Serial No. 550,292
  • a soluble silicate so as to set up a reaction with the borate.
  • the reaction product forms a colloids solution changed by desiccation to a gel which is irreversible in Water at normal atmospheric temperatures.
  • the granules of this gel present in addition an electrification of the surface of the same sign.
  • the fibers repel one another during'drying and in this way sticking together of the fibers is avoided without detriment to the sizing.
  • Borax may advantageously be used as the dispersion; agent for avoiding adhesion of the threads. Casein swollen by steeping for several hours in water is therefore added to the borax solution. After a time (not exceeding two hours) the dispersion will have been completed. This solution is added gradually to fatty or resinous substances with regular agitation so as to obtain a thick homogeneous mass readily emulsifiable in an excess of water. The preservation of the flexibility brilliance and color of the fiber depends on the choice of the substances emulsified. Gum mastic dissolved in castor oil gives excellent results from this point of view. The sizes tend to become rather sticky or tacky in the neighborhood of 40 C. but this objection is easily overcome by substituting a vegetable fat such as palm oil in place of part of the castor oil. After standing.
  • emulsions thus prepared according to the invention disclosed in my co-pending application Serial No. 430,461 are employed for sizing fibers from different sources, either in a single bath, or by passing the fibers from the sizing bath through a deglutinating bath particularly when very fine fibers are being treated.
  • the second bath can be of low concentration and the time of treatment of short duration.
  • the deglutinating baths-employed in carrying out the process are composed of formates, acetates and sulphocyanides of metals such as calciuml zinc, aluminium or lead.
  • composition is hereinafter given of some emulsions complying with the characteristic above specified.
  • Example 1 grammes Palm oil 50 Casein 10 Alkali (ammonia) 25 Distilled water 100 Borax 5 c. c. s. Commercial solution of silicate of soda 20 This size gives the fiber a mat appearance. The weight is increased 10%.
  • Example 2 grammes Colophony 10 Cocoa-nut oil 25 Casein 3 Soda lye 4 Distilled water 1, 000 Borax 1 C. C. S. Commercial solution of silicate of soda 20 This gives a more brilliant sizing than Example 1 and increases the weight 10%.
  • the hanks are steeped in the bath which is stirred either by hand or mechanically during from one to three hours. After complete draining the hanks pass to a second bath of one of the three compositions as follows.
  • Example 3 grammes Aluminum acetate 1 Acetate of lime l Acetic acid s 1 Distilled water 100
  • Example 4 grammes Aluminum sulphocyanide 10 Acetic acid 1 Distilled water 100
  • Example 5 grammes Lead acetate 5 Acetic acid 1 Distilled water 100
  • the fiber is left in the second bath for a period of from half an hour to 0ne-hour and then dried.
  • the fibers are well sized and can be readily wound in skeins. They are resistant to the effects of high temperatures.
  • Example 6 grammes Gum mastic 24 Castor oil 12 Palm oil 12 Borax 6 Distilled water 200 Casein 8 Distilled water 100 ⁇ Commercial solution of silicate of soda 5 Distilled water 500
  • the soaked casein is added to the solution of borax and after standing for from two to four hours, the mixture is added little by little to the solution of the gum in the oils, the two ingredients of the emulsion being brought to the same temperature.
  • the dilute solution of silicate of soda is added the mixture is .ployed without a second bath particularly for sizing threads of good quality. Afterdraining the threads are dried at a temperature of about 60 C. The threads fall apart during this operation.
  • the deglutination of the threads can be completely effected, before drying, by immersion -for 5 to 30 minutes in a bath of one of the solutions as given in Examples 3, 4, and 5.
  • Example 7 grammes Gum mastic 60 Linseed oil 30 Palm oil 3 0 Borax 20 Water 300 Casein 10 Water 100 Silicate of soda v 10 Water 500 Made up to final volume of two litres.
  • Example 8 grammes Gum mastic 30 Castor oil 30 Orange shellac 20 Borax 40 Water 400 Silicate of soda 5 Made up to two litres.
  • Example 9 grammes Gum mastic 30 Castor oil 30 Japan wax 20 Borax 40 Water 400 Soda lye 6 Casein 26 Water 100 Silicate of soda Made up to two litres.
  • Process of treating vegetable and animal fibers which consists in first treating the fibers in a sizing bath, comprising drying oils, casein, borax and water, of an oleatic emulsion free from sulphonated compounds using alkaline borates as dispersion agents with the addition of a soluble silicate; then passing the thus treated fibers through a deglutinating bath.
