Description
Patented Sept. 8, 1942 METHOD OF TREATING FABRIC AND PRODUCT THEREOF Lorin B. Sebrell, Silver Lake, Ohio, assignor to Wingfoot Corporation, Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application August 25, 1939, Serial No; 291,894
6 Claims.
This invention relates to a method of treating textile fabrics, particularly silk fabrics so as to improve the wearing qualities of the same and to fabric so treated. More particularly, it relates to a method of treating silk hose to. render the same less subject to runs and the effects of general wear and to silk hose so treated.
It is well known that silk hose are very subject to runs and that this results in the stockings being discarded even though they have not been worn out. Failure for this reason is common and means which would lessen the occurrence-of runs would greatly increase the durability of ladies hose. Other knitted silk garments are also subject to this cause of failure. The present invention provides a method of treating such silk fabrics and other fabrics of sheer or delicate nature so as to improve the wearing qualities and greatly reduce premature failure thereof.
As is well known, knitted fabrics are characterized by a loop structure and breaking of a thread at any point starts what is termed a run, resulting in disintegration of the garment. In stockings, which are subjected to constant flexing and stretching, breakage frequently occurs because one loop is sawed against another until a thread is cut through. It has now been found that breaking of the thread can be postponed and the life of the stocking greatly prolonged by coating the threads with a protective material which compacts and strengthens the silk and permits the loops of the knitted fabric to slide smoothly over each other, minimizing the sawing action. Stockings so treated with the composition of the invention withstand the strain of walking and bending for a much longer period I than has heretofore been the case.
Compositions comprising parafiin, a higher fatty acid containing at least twelve carbon atoms and an aluminum salt of a lower fatty acid may be used for treating fabrics in accordance with the practice of the invention. .Other ingredients serving as emulsion stabilizers, preservatives and thelike may also be present in the composition.
Among the higher fatty acids which are suitable may be mentioned stearic acid, lauric .acid, palmitic acid and myristic acid, as well as others having at least twelve carbon atoms in the molecule. Aluminum acetate'is the preferred aluminum salt but aluminum formate, propionate and butyrate may also be used.
The composition which has .been found to be most efiective for the purpose is made up of paraffin, stearic acid, lanolin, soluble oil, gelatin,
, hose or other fabric by dipping the same into 2 acetanilide, glycerine, acetic acid, dextrin, di-
astase, aluminum acetate, and hexamethylene tetramine emulsified in water. These ingredients of the composition are present in various proportions which may be altered to some extent. In general, the proportions used will be approximately as follows: water aluminum acetate 16%, parafiln 6%, stearic acid, soluble oil, acetanilide, glycerine and dextrin from :1 to 2% of each, lanolin and diastase from 0.2 to 0.4% of each and acetic acid and hexamethylene tetramine about .05% of each. One composition which has been found to be useful to prevent runs in knitted silk fabrics is made up as follows:
Three pounds of paraflin having a'melting point of 133-135? F. is melted in a kettle with 8 'oz.,of triple pressed stearic acid and 3 oz. of lanolin of commercial grade, the melt being brought what higher. To this is added pound of soluble oil base. In another vessel isplaced A gallon of cold water in which '10 oz. of gelatin is soaked for 5 minutes. Thereafter, /2 gallon of warm water, say F., is poured in and then 8 oz. of acetan'ilide. One pound of glycerin is next added and finally 10 cc. of glacial acetic acid. The whole is brought into solution by the addition of 3 gallons of water having atemperature of about 170 F. Into another vessel is now poured 5 pints of hot water having a temperature of 170 F. and there is dissolved in this 8 oz. of technical dextrin and 1 tsps. of diastase, the solution being kept at atemperature of about F. Another solution contains 8 poundsof 20% aluminum acetate, which should be fresh, and this is brought to a temperature of F. The aluminum acetate is now poured into the dextrin and diastase solution.
The two solutions and the melt are then mixed blades. The resulting emulsion is allowed to cool,
to room temperature and then oz. of hexamethylene tetramine is mixed in.
Thi procedure gives about 6 /2 gallons of a stable emulsion which can be applied to the silk the composition or otherwise applying the emulsion to the fabric. ,After drying, it is found that the silk has much greater resistance to runs and general wear than was the case, before treatmen In order to test the eflicacy of'the treatment,
2 silk stockings were subjected to a hosiery flexing test. This test is conducted on a Frasier testing machine, the hosiery being placed on the machine and gripped between the heel and garter clasp. The welt and immediate boot portion of the hose is then distended 21.3 inches for 200 cycles. At the end of the 200th cycle, the tension necessary to extend the hose 19.2 inches is recorded. Ratings were established as follows:
Pounds at 200th cycle Rating Excellent. Good. 6101217 said 15;r l6 Fair.
n or too oose Over 16 (too tight) lunsat'sfacmy- The hose is then flexed on the machine until failure or 2000 cycles has been reached. Hosiery withstanding 2000 cycles is passed as satisfacto y- The test was applied to hosiery treated in accordance with the terms of the invention as described above and the results obtained were tabulated as follows:
. Stretch 4 Servrceabrhty Sam 1e marking endur- Rating 9 factor ability Red yarn (original). in lbs.-*l% solids 14,791 Good. Greeln yarn (origill1bs.-6% solids 13.007 Excellent.
na Blue yarn (original). 7 lbs.-Production 13,978 Good. Washed 10 times.. 7 lbs.Production' 10, 056 Good.
It will be noted that all of the samples gave satisfactory results and that hoseiwhich had been washed 10 times were still rated as good. Hose which have not been treated by the method of the invention are considered good if they endure 2000 cycles of the stretch test. The treated hose, as will be noted, did not fail until 13,000 or 14,000 cycles had been reached.
The composition used in the foregoing tests may be said to be made up by the intermixture of the following quantities of the ingredients expressed in metric units:
The whole, in water, gives a stable emulsion amounting in volume to 24.6 liters.
This composition has given excellent results and is preferred in carrying out the method of the invention, but it will be apparent that variations may be made therein.
What I claim is:
