Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the treatment of textile materials, more particularly for the scouring of textile materials with organic solvents.
  • the textile material is passed through the organic solvent under conditions which enable contamination to be removed from the textile material, and then the treated textile material, laden with solvent, is passed through an apparatus in which the solvent is evaporated and recovered.
  • This final stage termed the fiash-ofi stage may be carried out using hot water or steam.
  • solvent-scouring techniques can be used to produce very high throughputs of textile materials by putting the textile materials in multi-layer form through a solvent-scouring process. This is possible in the case of solvent-scouring because the organic solvent can penetrate quite satisfactorily through the various layers of textile material, whereas none of the conven tional aqueous scouring techniques can do so.
  • the solvents and the techniques which can be used may be in particular any of those described more fully in UK. specifications Nos. 812,894; 916,338; 747,481; 749,705; 812,893; 844,943; 825,402 and patent applications Nos. 38,216/64 and 9,977/65.
  • the solvent may be in particular trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, 111:2- trichloro-l:2z2-trifluoroethane or mixtures thereof.
  • the choice of solvent to be used depends very much upon the textile material concerned, and the solvent is best chosen so that its solvent properties and its boiling point are such that its use will not adversely affect the textile material.
  • the process of the present invention is essentially the same as those already known.
  • the inventive feature lies in the fact that only the solvent-scouring technique permits the use of multiple layers, and that the previously known aqueous scouring techniques fail completely when used with anything other than single layers of textile materials and with long residence times because of the severely limited powers of penetration of such systems.
  • Textile materials which may be treated by the process of our present invention include those made of cotton and other cellulosic materials, wool, linen, regenerated cellulose, and a variety of other natural and artificial materials including nylons, polyester, polypropylene, esterified cellulosic materials, such as acetate rayon, and acrylic fibres, and mixtures of natural and/or artificial materials.
  • the textile materials may be in the form of webs or sheets, either woven or non-woven, including knitted goods, as may be desired.
  • the technique is useful for treating textile materials which are of too light a weight (or of such construction) to be passed through a machine at high speed at open width without considerable risk of damage.
  • the process can also be applied to the use of multiple layers of heavier materials purely for the purpose of scouring high throughput.
