Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to processes and installations for dyeing synthetic fibers, in particular polyester fibers and/or polyamide fibers, as well as to fibers and fabrics containing or consisting of dyed fibers, wherein said fibers are obtained or obtainable according to any of the processes of the present invention, particularly with any of the coloring installations of the present invention.
  • Denim jeans are regularly made from a cotton warp-faced fabric in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. It can have a 1/2, or 2/1 or 3/1 twill structure and is woven diagonally, i.e. the twill weaving produces a diagonal ribbing. While the warp thread which generally forms the outer layer is dyed, usually with indigo, the weft thread forming the inner side of the fabric is left white. And, with common indigo dyeing processes the core of the warp threads remains white while the outer layer is colored. This phenomenon is called ring dyeing.
  • indigo itself is not soluble in water (990 ⁇ g/l at 25° C.) its reduced, water-soluble form, leuko-indigo, is employed in the dyeing step.
  • leuko-form of indigo in most cases has a rather low affinity to the fiber materials to be dyed, thereby requiring a number of repeated treatment steps.
  • indigo is reduced under alkaline conditions with sodium dithionate to leuko-indigo.
  • leuko-indigo may occur in the mono-anion form, which is present at about pH 11 and which has better ring-dyeing properties due to less pronounced penetration characteristics, or in the di-anion form. Oxidation by air converts the yellow-colored leuko-indigo back to the blue-colored indigo.
  • Abrasion or fading can be achieved by low washing fastness, an average light fastness, and a low dry- and/or wet rubbing fastness.
  • the fibers In order to improve the dyeing properties the fibers usually have to be subjected to pretreatment steps such as pre-wetting, bottom dyeing or washing.
  • indigo-dyed denim fabrics are regularly made from cotton fibers there have also been attempts to manufacture blue colored denim-like fabrics from synthetic fibers.
  • Colored synthetic fibers can be obtained by the so-called dope dyeing process.
  • a dye most often in the form of a colored masterbatch, is mixed with the molten polymer forming the synthetic fiber before the fibers are extruded through spinnerets for making synthetic filaments.
  • Dope dyeing provides synthetic fibers which are homogeneously colored throughout the cross-section of the filament. Hence, with dope dyed synthetic fibers any fading characteristics being specific for indigo-dyed denim fabrics cannot be obtained.
  • fibers, yarns, or fabrics are conveyed through several stations by rotating drums starting with an accumulator station 1 , followed in series by a calender 3 , a washing station 5 , a ventilation station 7 , three washing stations 5 , a cascade of eight dyeing stations 19 each followed by a ventilation station 7 , a washing station 5 , a ventilation station 7 , a washing station 5 , a warm air ventilation station 117 , three washing stations 5 , a drying station 11 , and a sizing station 13 .
  • polyester fibers can be colored by subjecting said fibers to a dye-bath containing leuko-indigo, a reducing agent and sodium tripolyphosphate as a buffer and having a pH between 6.5 and 7.5 at a temperature in the range of 100° C. to about 144° C. and oxidizing the thus treated fibers with an aqueous solution comprising hydrogen peroxide.
