Definitions
- a primary object of the invention is to provide a simple but elfective process for manufacturing woven cottonpolyester blend fabrics whereby stabilized width stretch characteristics are embodied therein by a novelcombination of mechanical and chemical treating steps Without using stretch or textured yarns, and without requiring special machinery.
- Another object is the provision of a new and economical method for producing fabrics woven of cotton and polyester fibers having high stretch and recovery properties in the filling direction wherein only standard or normal twist yarns are employed.
- a further object is to produce woven cotton-synthetic blend fabrics of improved stretch characteristics which.
- woven cotton and polyester blend fabrics having a stretch of from 15% to 30% in the width can be produced simply and economically, using conventional finishing machinery, by a novel combination of chemical and mechanical treating steps including mercerizingwithout widthwise tension, Washing in open width washers, drying without increasing the width of the fabric, treating with a resin or other chemical agent so as to stabilize the cotton fibers, or, alternatively, heat setting to shrink and stabilize the polyester fibers;v and compressively shrinking the fabric to control the residual shrinkage.
- the process may include various other operati-ons as will appear more fully'from the examples herein after described.
- the process of the invention is applicable to all woven cotton-polyester blend fabrics made from standard or normal twist yarns, including reeded out or redesigned constructions as well as standard greige constructions of various types and weights.
- the product of the invention is a woven cotton-synthetic fabric having a high degree of stretchab'ility and elastic recovery in the filling direction while being relatively unstretchable in the warp direction, and is useful for a wide variety of end uses either per se or as a backing for or lamina with such other materials as vinyl plastic and rubber sheeting, polyurethane foams, pyroxylin artificial leather and the like.
- woven cotton-polyester blend fabrics of high width stretch and low set characteristics can be produced by shrinking a desized greige or bleached fabric in the filling direction by subjecting it to the action of a mercerizing agent without widthwise restraint while maintaining it under tension in. a lengthwise direction,
- low set characteristic has reference to that characteristic of the fabrics of the present invention which is represented by the ability of the fabric to undergo repeated stretching without suffering more than a relatively small amount of permanent elongation in the stretched direction. In other words, low set is the equivalent of high recovery.
- a method of measuring the set of stretch fabric is described hereinafter in connection with Example I.
- the desired results may be effectively obtained by a process which includes the following steps.
- a cotton-polyester blend fabric of suitable construction and weight such as a 50% cotton and 50% Kodel blend
- a solution having a specific gravity of from 52 to 54 Twad. being preferred
- the fabric is thus free to shrink widthwise under the effect of the mercerizing solution and as a result of the lengthwisetension which is maintained to prevent shrinkage in the warp direction.
- the fabric After the fabric has been saturated with the mercerizing solution, it is washed with water to remove the sodium hydroxide while tensioned in the warp direction but again left slack in the filling direction, the washing preferably being carried out by advancing the fabric through a plurality of open width washers, using water of any suitable temperature. Ordinarily hot water having a temperature of from about 160 to about 180 F. is used in all but the last washer wherein cold water is used. If desired, a small amount of acid may be added to the water in the next to the last Washer in order to neutralize any of the caustic soda which may remain in the fabric. After the washing operation, the fabric is dried in a revolving drum or can type drier without increasing the width thereof while still applying tension in a warpwise direction.
- the selvages of the fabric may be attached to the appropriately adjusted pins or clips of the mercerizing tenter frame during passage therethrough so that the fabric may not shrink more than the desired amount.
- the method of the present invention contemplates the maximum possible shrinkage of the fabric in the filling direction, i.e., up to about 30%, the amount of shrinkage being controlled by both the strength of the mercerizing solution andthe lengthwise tension applied to the fabric.
- this step of the method may be carried out by passing the fabric in a slack width condition through a suitable padding apparatus equipped with a saturating box and then winding the goods on a roll under lengthwise tension for a suitable period of storage before the washing step.
- the fabric After the fabric has been slack mercerized, washed and dried, it is chemically treated with a cross linking agent in order to stabilize the width stretch properties then possessed by the cotton fibers of the goods as a result of the abnormal shrinkage previously produced.
- the fabric may be first treated with an anionic wetting agent and then impregnated with a suitable thermosetting resin and catalyst, dried without increasing the width thereof, and subjected to an elevated temperature of such amount, and for such a period of time, as will effect proper curing of the resin.
- Triazine or triazone resins and buffered inorganic salt catalysts, such as magnesium chloride are preferred, in which event curing at a temperature of from 320 to 340 F.
- the resin may be replaced by a non-resin cross linking agent, such as formaldehyde, divinyl sulfone, and other known chemicals having the capacity to react with and cross link the cellulose molecules of cotton fibers.
- a non-resin cross linking agent such as formaldehyde, divinyl sulfone, and other known chemicals having the capacity to react with and cross link the cellulose molecules of cotton fibers.
- the fabric is soaped or washed with a detergent of any suitable composition in order to remove excess chemicals which may remain from the preceding steps, dried, top softened by passage through a mix containing suitable softeners, lubricants and a vat pigment, and then dried on a tenter frame.
- the fabric is shrunk on a compressive shrinking machine to provide a 1% residual shrinkage in the length and sufficient shrinkage in the width to produce the desired finished width.
- Example I and proteolytic enzymes such as Rapidase 800, at a temperature of approximately 150 F., after which the fabric was scoured in rope form through hot water containing 4 pounds of soda ash per 100 gallons at a temperature of approximately 160 F., so as to remove the water soluble sizing from the goods, together with dirt, soil and other undesirable substances.
- the fabric was transferred on reels to a bleaching kier into which was introduced a bleaching solution containing 75 pounds of 35% hydrogen peroxide and 150 pounds of sodium silicate per 1000 gallons of water. The bleaching liquor was heated to about 190 F. and then held at that temperature and circulated within the kier for about 5 hours.
- the spent liquor was drawn off from the kier and the bleached goods were washed in rope form, water mangled and dried.
- the dry bleached fabric was then singed to remove the projecting cotton and polyester fibers in order to control pilling or balling up of the polyester fibers, and to improve the appearance of the goods. 7
- the desized, bleached and singed fabric was next impregnated with a 5254 Twad. solution of sodium hydroxide at approximately room temperature and squeezed on a three-roll mercerizer pad, and then run through the tenter frame of a mercerizing range at a speed of about 50 yards per minute with the frame set from 3 to 6 under the grey width of the goods and with the washing system shut off so as to permit free shrinkage of the fabric in the filling direction.
- widthwise shrinkage of the fabric is produced both by the chemical action of the mercerizing solution and mechanically by reason of the fact that lengthwise tension is applied to the fabric, as by means of drag or tension bars and compensator rolls, continuously during passage of the goods through the mercerizing range as well as through the desizing pad box.
- the goods were run through a series of open width Washers to remove the sodium hydroxide, passing twice through a seven-box washer fed with hot water at a temperature of approximately 180 F. and at a rate of 70- gallons per minute, and were then dried by passage through a drier of the steam heated revolving drum or can type, without any increase in width.
- the fabric was treated with resin in order to stabilize the recoverable stretch characteristics of the finished goods. To this end, the fabric was padded through a resin mix on a two-roll pad, the mix containing, per gallons of mix:
- a buffered inorganic salt catalyst such as the magnesium chloride Catalyst 100.
- a suitable wetting agent such as the alky-laryl polyglycol ether Standapon 95.
- a dispersed blue vat pigment such as GAPZ.
- the fabric possessed the desired high width stretch and recovery properties.
- the goods were soaped, i.e., treated with a detergent, by passing them through four open width wash boxes containing an aqueous mixture of 2 pounds of 'alkylphenoxypoly ethanols per 600 gallons of water, heated to a temperature of approximately 180 F and then through three boxes of hot wash water of substantially the same temperature.
- the fabric was dried on steam heated drying cans, and then further treated by passage through a top softening mix on a two roll pad, the mix containing per 100 gallons of mix:
- the fabric was shrunk on a compressive shrinking machine to provide a 1% residual shrinkage in length and the required shrinkage in width to produce a finished width of from 40 to 41".
- test results herein set forth represent the average of several tests on samples taken from different rolls of the same finished lot, and are subject to normal variations within 1% or 2%.
- Example II 'A'lot of 48%" wide 3.91 yards per pound 96 x 84 unbleached fabric made up of a blend of 50% cotton and 50% Kodel polyester fibers was desized, bleached, singed, mencerized, washedand dried in the same manner as that described in Example I, and a ain the width of the fabric after drying-had shrunk to' 39% I o After drying, the -fabric was padded through a bluing mix-on a two roll pad,-the mix containing per 100 gallons of'mix:
- poundofa suitable wetting agent such as the sodium alkylnaphthalene sulfonate- Nekal.
- the goods were dried on a heated tenter frame having a width setting of 43".
- the fried fabric was passed through a heat setting oven at the rate of 125 yards per minute, the goods being maintained under tension in the wanp direction but without tension in the filling direction, the temperature in the oven being approximately 385 F., and the heat settingtime being about 63 seconds.
- the width of the goods leaving the heat setting oven was 40%", indicating a decrease of approximately 2% duringthe' heat setting operation. This decrease in Width resulted from both-the mechanical tension on the warp in the absence of widthwise tension and the shrinkage effect of the heat on the polyester fibers in the filling.
- the heat setting process also imparted stability to the polyester fibers as respects shrinkage and wash-and-wear qualities.
- the fabric was treated by padding on a two roll pad through a finishing mix containing, per gallons of mix:
- a suitable wetting agent such as the alkylaryl polyglycol ether Standapon 95.
- an optical whitener flourescent dye such as Blancophor HS-3l.
- the goods were again dried on a tenter frame so as to control the width of the finished goods.
- the last step of the process involved shrinking of the fabric on a compressive shrinking machine so as to control the residual shrinkage, primarily of the cotton content of the blend, and to provide a finished width of from 40" to 41".
- Example III A lot of 47" 3.47 128 x 82 35% cotton-65% Dacron fabric was processed by the same procedure as the cotton- Kodcl blend of Example II, except that the width of the fabric after the Washing and drying was 40%", and after the heat setting operation was 41". Testing in the manner previously described gave the following results:
- Example IV v A lot of 47" 2.30 1 05 x 52 35% cotton-65% Dacron fabric was also processed in the same manner as described in Example II, except that'the width of the fabric after washing and drying was 44", the fabric after padding through the bluing mix'was dried with the tenter frame set at 45 /2", and the width of the goods after the heat setting operation was 43 /2".
- the method of the present invention is capable of imparting high stretch and low permanent set characteristics in the filling direction to cotton-polyester blend fabrics of vari- 7 ous standard constructions, producing a stretch of from 15% to 30% of the finished width with a relatively high recovery.
- a process for treating fabrics Woven entirely from standard yarns consisting of a blend of cotton and polyester fibers to impart thereto high stretch and recovery properties in the filling direction only which comprises the following steps:
- a process according to claim 1 including, between steps (g) and (h), the additional steps of:
- a process as claimed in claim 3 including the additional step of:
- a process as claimed in claim 3 including, between steps ((1) and (e), the additional steps of:
