Definitions

• Dyeing in the generic sense, consists essentially of placing a fiber into a dyestuff (usually an aqueous solution) and holding the fiber and the dyestufi in contact with each other for a sufiicient time at a sufficient temperature.
• Agents such as electrolytes, acids, carriers etc. may be present within the dyestufl? solution to promote dyeing. Take-up of the dye in the fiber is at a measurable rate until equilibrium is finally established with most of the dye absorbed on the fiber and a small part remaining in the dyestuff solution.
• the take-up rate of the dye in the fiber depends on each particular fiber and on the particular dyestuff; it is measured in percent take-up, e.g., a 100% take-up means that a 1 gram sample of fiber has absorbed 1 gram of dyestutf.
• a cross-section of the fiber shows ring dyeing and in the latter stages of dyeing, that is when equilibrium is almost obtained, a cross-section of the fiber shows that the dye has progressed from the ring or outer perimeter of the fiber to the core.
• the gaging of the dyeing through the cross-section of the fiber is measured in terms of penetration from 1 to 5, e.g., a penetration of 1 indicated the fiber is dyed only on the surface or outer perimeter of the fiber whereas a penetration of 5 indicated the fiber is dyed all the way through the cross-section of the fiber.
• High-temperature dyeing has some advantages in that shorter dyeing times are realized, a full range of colors are possible on generally hydrophobic synthetic fibers without the use of costly carriers, and better levelling properties are obtained.
• disadvantages are associated with the high-temperature dyeing in that higher costs are usually experienced in such an installation, greater care is needed in the preparation of such a procedure, and certain dyestuffs and fibers are not stable at these high temperatures.
• the high temperature and high pressure dyeing systems generally have the same advantages and disadvantages but due to the high pressure of the system the cost of installation is usually compounded.
• Pressure-dyeing methods are applicable with porous fabrics, loosely constructed fabrics.
• pressure is used as a mover to push the dyestutt through the fabric.
• Tightly woven fabrics, e.g. nylon fabrics weighing 6 oz. per sq. yd., due to their close porosity can not be effectively dyed by this method.
• high temperatures have been incorporated into the pressure-dyeing method; however, such a system still experiences difiiculty with fabrics that do not have a fairly open structure. Due to the high pressure required for these systems, installation and equipment costs are very high.
• Another object of this invention is to provide a method for dyeing acrylic, polyamides, and polyester fibers with broad classes of dyestuff.

• Particular fibers have an affinity to particular dyestuffs, it is therefore preferred that acid dyestuffs be used with acrylic, and polyamide; basic dyestuffs be used with acrylic, and silk; direct dyestuffs be used with cotton, polyamide, and silk; disperse dyestuffs be used with acetate, acrylic, polyester, and polyamide, and premetallized dyestuffs be used with acrylic, and polyamide.
• a list of useful dyestuffs can be found in Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, volume XXXVIII, 1962.
• dyestuff on the fiber can be accomplished by many methods, e.g., by immersing the fiber in an aqueous solution of the dyestuff, by spraying the dyestuff on the fiber, by kiss rolling the dyestuff on the fiber, by padding the dyestuff on the fiber, etc.
• the dyestuff can be in an aqueous solution containing additives known to those people in the art, e.g., levelling agents such as cationic compounds, acids (formic acid, acetic acid, etc.), slightly alkaline salts (soda ash, sodium acetate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, etc.), additives to adjust the viscosity and prevent migration of the dyestuff (a purified natural gum ether, sodium alginate, etc.) various surfactants, retarding agents, etc. It is understood as common knowledge within the art that certain additives are desired for certain dyestuffs.

• the fiber After the fiber is contacted with the dyestuff, it is treated with vapors of water and furfural. This treatment fixes the dyestuff in the fiber and results in a dyed fiber having good wash fastness and color fastness.
• the fiber Before the fiber containing dyestuff is treated with the vapors of water and furfural, it is preferred that the fiber be heated to and maintained during the treatment at a temperature of from about F. to about 300 F. F. to about 250 being the preferred range) or that the fiber be dried, preferably at a temperature within the range of from about 212 F. to about 300 F. If the fiber is not dried or if it is maintained at a temperature below about 150 F., there is a possibility that furfural might form a resin cap on the fiber and prevent the dye from penetrating into the fiber.
• the vapors of water and furfural should be within the range of from about 210 F. to about 250 F. At these temperatures, the concentration of furfural in water vapors should be within the range of from about 7% to about 515% by weight of furfural. Lower concentrations of furfural can be used, however, at lower concentrations full penetration of the dyestufi in the fiber may not be as effectively obtained. Also, if higher concentrations of furfural are used, erg. about 75%, there is a probability that some of the dyestuif on the fiber will be dissolved in the furfural.
• the concentration of furfural in the water vapors can be below the saturation point of the vapors, can be saturated in the water vapors, or it can be above the saturation point of the vapors (entrained in the water vapors).
• a saturated solution of furfural in water at 50 F. has a composition of 8.3% furfural by weight in the solution and at the boil (208.8 F. and 760 mm.) a composition of 29.6% furfural by weight in the water vapors, and a saturated solution at 208.2" F. and 760 mm. has water vapors containing 35% furfural by weight.
• the water vapors can contain about 45% furfural by Weight.
• the treatment of the dyestufl" contacted fiber with vapors of water and furfural should be for a sutficient period of time and at a sufiicient temperature, i.e., from about 1 to about minutes and at a temperature of from about 210 F. to about 275 F., the perferred range being from about 205 F. to about 245 F. If the temperature of the vapors is at about 245 F. the period of time can be shorter, for example about 3 minutes; if the temperature of the vapors is at about 212 F. the period of time can be longer, about 7 minutes. A prolonged period of time at higher temperatures, i.e. in excess of 30 minutes at 250 P. will have a detrimental effect on the fiber.
