Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and a bath composition for dry-cleaning of textiles, feathers, fillers or like materials. It more particularly relates to a drycleaning method and bath modified with high molecular weight amine compounds as dispersing agents.
  • a further object is to provide a dry-cleaning bath comprising a stable dispersion of an organic dry-cleaning agent and water.
  • Another object is to provide a dispersing agent for use in preparing dry-cleaning baths containing an organic cleaning agent and water.
  • Another object is to provide a dry-cleaning bath containing a dry-cleaning agent and water which has improved dispersion stability without decrease in filterability.
  • alkyl radicals of the high molecular weight amines used in accordance with my invention may be interrupted by heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, and/ or may be substituted by amino-, iminoor hydroxylgroups.
  • Compounds of this type are, for example, octyl amine, decyl amine, dodecyl amine, hexadecyl amine, primary amine mixtures, such as those which are obtained by reduction of naturally-occurring fatty acid mixtures and subsequent amination thereof, for example, amine mixtures which are derived from coconut fatty acids or tallow fatty acids.
  • secondary amines such as dodecyl-oxyethyl amine, hexadecyl-methyl amine,
  • dihexadecyl amine tertiary amines, such as dodecyl-di ethyl amine, octadecyl-diethyl amine, as well as amines the aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of which are interrupted by heteroatoms, such as B-aminoethyl-decyl ether, ⁇ 3 aminoethyl dodecyl thioether, dodecylamino-ethyl amine and the like.
  • non-aliphatic amines as naphthenyl amine, abietyl amine, cyclohexyl amine or alkyl-cyclohexyl amine may be used.
  • an essential characteristic of my invention is that the high molecular weight alkyl amines are primarily used in the form of free bases. If technical amines or amine mixtures which in some cases contain ammonia from the manufacturing process are used, the undesirable, strong alkalinity may be buffered by adding less than stoichiometric amounts (based on the amine) of carboxylic acids. However, too high a degree of neutralization may decrease the dispersing capability to a substantial extent.
  • the addition of the high molecular weight amines is accomplished in the customary fashion by adding to the cleaning bath amounts of 0.1 to 10.0 gm., preferably 0.1 to 2.0 gm., per liter of cleaning bath, the amounts within certain limits being dependent upon the amount of water to be dispersed. In general, the amount of water in the dry-cleaning bath should not exceed 1% of the total amount of liquid.
  • the alkyl amines may be added to all customary drycleaning baths.
  • Suitable dry-cleaning agents include, for example, gasoline, ligroin and other low-boiling-point parafiin hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof; benzene, toluene, xylene and other low-boiling-point aromatic hydrocarbons or mixtures thereof; as well as chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, perchloro-ethylene and mixtures thereof.
  • the drycleaning baths may be used for all customary purposes, i.e., for cleaning textiles, feathers, pillow material, filler material and the like.
  • the water-dispersing capability of cleansing intensifiers can be increased by the addition of high molecular weight fatty alcohols, ethyoxylated products of high molecular weight fatty alcohols, carboxylic acids or acid amides, or similar products.
  • high molecular weight amines especially the alkyl amines, exhibit a far better waterdispersing capability in dry-cleaning baths in comparison to the known additives, and that dry-cleaning baths modified with the amine additives are also marked by a substantially better filterability.
  • TEST ARRANGEMENT The dispersion stability of mixtures which consisted of perchloroethylene modified with 5 gm./ liter of a cleansing intensifier and 10 00. per liter of water, and to which varying amounts of different dispersing agents had been added, was tested in a shaking cylinder. The mixtures were vigorously shaken for three minutes with a shaking machine, and thereafter the time which elapsed until the first indication of a phase separation was measured. In this manner the varying effectiveness of the respective dispersing agents was visualized.
  • a process for drycleaning fibrous materials which comprises cleaning said fibrous materials in a dry-cleaning bath comprising a dry-cleaning solvent, a quantity of water not greater than 1%, and 0.1 to 10 gn1./liter of high molecular weight alkyl monoamines having from 8 to 32 carbon atoms in the molecule, said alkyl monoamines being selected from the group consisting of those with at least one alkyl radical having at least 8 carbon atoms, derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are interrupted by hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are substituted by groups selected from the group consisting of amino, imino and hydroxyl groups, in the form of their free bases.
  • a process for dry-cleaning fibrous materials which comprises cleaning said fibrous materials in a dry-cleaning bath comprising a dry-cleaning solvent, a quantity of water not greater than 1%, cleansing intensifiers selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, ethylene oxide addition products of high molecular weight fatty alcohols and fatty acids, and high molecular weight acid amides, amines and mercaptans, and 0.1 to 10 gm./liter of high molecular weight alkyl monoamines having from 8 to 32 carbon atoms in the molecule, said alkyl monoamines being selected from the group consisting of those with at least one alkyl radical having at least 8 carbon atoms, derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are interrupted by hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are substituted by groups selected from the group consist
  • a method for forming a dry-cleaning bath effective against both water-soluble and water-insoluble soil which comprises adding to a dry-cleaning solvent not greater than about 1% water, and 0.1 to 10 gm./liter of high molecular weight alkyl monoamines having from 8 to 32 carbon atoms in the molecule, said alkyl monoamines being selected from the group consisting of those with at least one alkyl radical having at least 8 carbon atoms, derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are interrupted by hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are substituted by groups selected from the group consisting of amino, imino and hydroxyl groups, in the form of their free bases.
  • a method for forming a dry-cleaning bath effective against both water-soluble and water-insoluble soil which comprises adding to a dry-cleaning solvent not greater than about 1% water, cleansing intensifiers selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, ethylene oxide addition products of high molecular Weight fatty alcohols and fatty acids and high molecular weight acid amides, amines and mercaptans, and 0.1 to 10 gm./liter of high molecular weight alkyl monoamines having from 8 to 32 carbon atoms in the molecule, with at least one alkyl radical having at least 8 carbon atoms, wherein the alkyl radicals of said high molecular weight amines may be interrupted by hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur and substituted by groups selected from the group consisting of amino, imino and hydroxyl groups, in the form of their free bases.
  • a dry-cleaning bath for cleaning fibrous materials containing some water-soluble soil which comprises a dry-cleaning solvent, not greater than about 1% water, and 0.1 to g m./liter of high molecular weight alkyl monoamines having from 8 to 32 carbon atoms in the molecule, said alkyl monoamines being selected from the group consisting of those with at least one alkyl radical having at least 8 carbon atoms, derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are interrupted by hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and derivatives thereof wherein the alkyl radicals are substituted by groups selected from the group consisting of amino, imino and hydroxyl groups, in the form of their free bases.
