Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the rapid and continuous dyeing of textile materials and films and also to an apparatus especially useful in achieving those dyeing results.
  • Another dyeing method is to penetrate a textile material or film with a solution of certain suitable dyestuffs and then subsequently expose the thus-treated textile material or film to steam.
  • This steaming cycle is very timeconsuming, and it can readily be seen that in order to achieve considerable production large size steamers are necessary. 'Iliis is especially the case in dyeing 15 feet width carpets by either of the aforementioned methods.
  • Suitable swelling agents I have tried were phenolic compounds, resorcinol, dibenzyl ether emulsion, benzyl alcohol, and banzyl alcohol emulsions.
  • phenolic compounds resorcinol, dibenzyl ether emulsion, benzyl alcohol, and banzyl alcohol emulsions.
  • dibenzyl ether Since dibenzyl ether is water-insoluble, it is very difficult to remove from the polyester material unless an emulsifier is also used.
  • the acrylic textile material is preferably impregnated with a solution containing propylene carbonate at room temperature and then the impregnated textile material is exposed to steam.
  • a skein of Orlon was dyed in seconds at the boil, using a dyebath composed of:
  • dipropylene carbonate For light and pastel shades the amount of dipropylene carbonate may be further reduced. In practice it is unnecessary to exceed the use of 10% dipropylene carbonate in the aqueous dyeing solution even for dark dyeings. However, I do not wish to limit the amount of dipropylene carbonate that may be used to 10% inasmuch as the precise concentration in any given case is dictated primarily by economic considerations.
  • dipropylene carbonate has the same beneficial effect in the dyeing of wool as it has in the dyeing of acrylic materials.
  • the effect of dipropylene carbonate on wool is not fully understood by me but apparently it must have a swelling effect on the wool, thus allowing the dyestuff to penetrate the fiber rapidly.
  • a wool skein was dyed for 20 seconds at a boil in a dyebath containing:
  • Another wool skein was dyed for 20 seconds at the boil with a pre-metallized acid dyestuff in a dyebath containing:
  • the principle of my dyeing apparatus is to move the dye liquor through the apparatus at a much higher speed than, and in the same direction as, the textile material undergoing dyeing. Due to the relatively higher speed of the concurrently flowing dye liquor, it becomes possible to feed sufficient dyestuff to maintain an equilibrium while the material passes through the dyeing apparatus. Preferably, turbulent ow conditions for the dye liquor are maintained substantially throughout at least those portions of the apparatus where the dyeing takes place.
  • the accompanying drawing shows a dyeing apparatus especially designed for the continuous dyeing of carpets of considerable width.
  • the apparatus can also be arranged to accommodate less bulky materials such as dress goods and suitings.
  • Z is a funnel-shaped container adapted to contain the hot dye liquor which is circulated through the dyeing apparatus in the same direction as the textile material.
  • the funnel-shaped container 2 converges toward a region of relatively restricted crosssection at 4 which in turn leads into a sinuous chamber 6 which (as shown) may consist of a pair of U-shaped members connected serially in such fashion as to constitute the main treating chamber 6 through which the textile material undergoing dyeing passes in a tortuous path.
  • the funnel-shaped container 2 is closed by a removable top seal 8 which fits into the funnel and which contains a pair of Teon lips 10 through which the wide carpet or other textile material passes into the dyeing apparatus.
  • the Teon lips 10 prevent the dye liquor circulating in the system from rising above the seal 8.
  • the bottom of the funnel-shaped container 2 converges at the point 4 to what is, in effect, a slot which may e.g. be about l in width.
  • the textile material undergoing dyeing for example a l5-ft. width carpet 12, is introduced via the T etlon lips into the dyeing apparatus and passes downwardly beneath and around an elongated guide roller 14 and through the remaining legs of the treating portion 6 of the dyeing apparatus by a succession of elongated mide rollers 16 and 18.
  • the carpet or other textile material 12 then passes upwardly from the last open leg of the dyeing apparatus and out of the dyeing apparatus between a pair of squeeze rollers 20 ⁇ which serve to assist in keeping the textile material moving properly through the apparatus and also for removing excess dye liquor adhering to the treated textile material.
  • air -knives may be positioned adjacent the squeeze rollers in such a manner as to blow either cool or heated air upon the emerging textile material in order still further to assist in removing excess dye liquor from the dyed textile material.
  • the thickness in horizontal cross-section is preferably the sa-me as that at the point 4, namely, about 1". This leaves, in the case of dyeing a carpet or other textile material which is about 1/2 thick, approximately 1A" on each side of the carpet as it moves through the dyeing apparatus for the proper circulation of the hot dye liquor.
  • the total length of the treating chamber 6, 6, 6, 6 is about 20 feet.
  • the circulation system for the hot dye liquor 22 includes a pair of conduits 24 for introducing hot dye liquor into the upper portion of the funnel-shaped container 2 from a suitable manifold 26.
  • Manifold 26 receives hot dye liquor from pipe 28 leading from pump 30, which conveniently takes the form of a high velocity liquid circulating pump receiving hot dye liquor from the heater 32.
  • the circulating dye liquor enters the heater 32 by means of a suitable metering pump 34 which is fed from dye liquor sump 36, Additional or makeup dyestui liquor is introduced into the sump 36 via inlet conduit 38 when and as required in response to a conventional float control valve arrangement 40.
  • the sump 36 receives circulating dye liquor from the discharge end of the dyeing apparatus 6 from which it overflows via conduits 42, 44 and 46.
  • the upper end of the last leg 6 of the dyeing apparatus may be extended upwardly to a point well above the normal level of the liquid therein, in order to facilitate proper circulation of the hot dye liquor.
  • guide rollers 14, 16 and 18 as well as squeeze rollers 20 are positively driven (by conventional means not shown) in such a manner as to minimize all lengthwise tension in the carpet or other textile material undergoing the dyeing treatment.
  • the relative speeds of these rollers are adjusted in such a manner that the path of the textile material between successive guide rollers is essentially a straight line while at the same time avoiding excessive tension on the textile material.
  • the hot dye liquor is caused to circulate through the system at a linear rate which is a predetermined multiple of the speed of the carpet or other textile material undergoing the dyeing operation. For example, if the carpet or other textile material is passed through the dyeing apparatus at the rate of (say) approximately 60 feet per minute, it is readily possible by means of a suitable adjustment to the pump 30 and the pump 34 to create an overall circulation rate for the hot dye liquor through the apparatus of (say) about 600 linear feet per minute.
  • the correlative linear speeds for the circulation of the hot dyeing liquor flowing concurrently through the apparatus are of the order of about 2 to 10 times that of the textile material, measured in the most restricted portions (i.e. the vertical portions) of the legs 6, 6, 6, 6 of the treating apparatus.
  • aqueous dyebath temperatures as low as F. may be resorted to, if desired.
  • dyeing temperatures at or near the boil ie.e., in the range of about 208 to 212 F. are preferred.
