Definitions

  • the fatty acid ester of polyethylene glycol serves both to soften the fabric and to carry fireproofing reaction products onto the polyester component.
  • This invention relates to an improved process for treating textile materials which are blends of cellulosic and polyester fibers so as to cause fibers of both those classifications to be flame retardant concurrently.
  • polyester-cotton blends are one of the more common types of fabrics in current use, there is a paucity in the art of conferring fire resistance to such blends.
  • blended polyester-cotton is unusual, inasmuch as fabrics solely of polyester fiber normally meet specifications for flame retardancy, such as the Vertical Test of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, AATCC 34-1966, without the addition of a fire retardant finish.
  • flame retardancy such as the Vertical Test of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, AATCC 34-1966
  • the resulting product is quite flammable and does not meet flame retardancy specifications. This is due to the fact that when 100 percent polyester fabric is exposed to a flame, the polyester melts and drips away largely unburned, while on exposure of a blended fabric of polyester and flame-resistant cotton to a flame, the cotton prevents the polyester from dripping away.
  • cellulosic-polyester blends are obtained without the necessity of applying a separate, polyester flame retardant such as tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phos phate and without unduly deteriorating physical properties or imparting objectionable stiifness.
  • the cellulosic-polyester blended fabrics are rendered durably flame retardant by impregnating with (A) tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride and urea or a precondensate of these reactants,
  • reaction product containing melamine a fatty acid ester of polyethylene glycol and forming insoluble reaction products on said fabric. It is essential that the reaction product containing melamine be insolubilized in the presence of moisture such as by steam curing.
  • System A Tetrakis (hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride and urea or a precondensate of these reactants
  • System B Melamine-formaldehyde reaction product or a melamine-formaldehyde-methanol reaction product
  • System C An ester derived from polyethylene glycol and a higher aliphatic carboxylic acid
  • All of the components of Chemical Systems A, B and C can be applied and then the desired insoluble products formed simultaneously, thus, for instance, all of the chemicals can be applied from a single bath such as by padding from an aqueous dispersion, and then the desired insoluble products formed simultaneously in a single curing step.
  • the polyethylene glycol ester of System C can be added to the fabric, along with the chemicals of System B, an insoluble product formed by curing and then the chemicals of System A added and insolubilized.
  • the chemicals of System A can be added and insolubilized and then the polyethylene glycol ester of System C can be added to the fabric along with the chemicals of System B, and insoluble products formed by curing.
  • the compounds of System A form an insoluble product containing bound phosphorus and bound nitrogen.
  • the insoluble product can be formed by the reaction on the fabric of tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride and urea.
  • a precondensate of tetrakis (hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride and urea which is subsequently further reacted.
  • Procedures for preparing such precondensates are described by Reeves et al. US. Pat. 2,812,311 and Coates U.S. Pat. 2,983,623. The following equation illustrates the formation of a suitable precondensate:
  • the component of System B is an N-methylol derivative of melamine having from two to six methylol groups or a methyl ether derived from such an N-methylol compound wherein the sum of CH OH groups and -CH OCH groups is from two to six.
  • the N-methylol compounds can be prepared by reacting melamine with two or more moles of formaldehyde according to known procedures.
  • the methyl ethers can be prepared by known procedures by reacting the N-methylol compounds with methanol or coreacting melamine, formaldehyde and methanol.
  • the components of System B cannot be insolubilized by dry heat, but rather wet fixation procedures must be used.
  • wet fixation the components of System B are formed into an insoluble product while the moisture content of said fabric is at least 20 percent based on the weight of the fabric.
  • Wet fixation is preferably accomplished by contacting the impregnated fabric with steam.
  • wet fixation can be carried out at lower temperatures by maintaining the fabric in a moist environment at a temperature and for a period of time sufiicient to form an insoluble product.
  • the fabric can be impregnated with an aqueous solution of N-methylolmelamine, the fabric wrapped in polyethylene while a substantial amount of water remains in the fabric, and the wrapped fabric stored at a temperature of at least 20 C. until the desired degree of insolubilization is reached.
  • System C represents a critical feature of the invention, and stems from the discovery that a particular type of adjunct makes it possible to impart flame retardancy simultaneously to both cellulosic and polyester fibers without causing objectionable stiffness of the treated fabric, the adjunct being a higher aliphatic carboxylic ester derived from polyethylene glycol.
  • Suitable polyethylene glycol esters have the formula A(OCH CH OA' wherein A is an acyl group derived from a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid of 8-24 carbon atoms;
  • A is hydrogen or an acyl group derived from a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid of 63-24 carbon atoms
  • n is an integer of from about 4 to 80.
  • Oleic acid is the preferred acid for making the esters, which include both di-esters as well as mono-esters. Particularly outstanding results are obtained with polyethylene glycol monooleate.
  • suitable acids are palmitoleic, lauric, myristic, palm'itic, stearic, and arachidic acids.
  • Useful polyethylene glycols for making the esters have the formula wherein m is 4 to 80.
  • Blends of two or more of such products as are illustrated in Table A may be used in making the ester which is to serve in System C of the process of this invention.
  • a blend of equal parts of polyethylene glycols 300 and 1540 is particularly useful.
  • Major species in that particular blend (conventionally designated as polyethylene glycol 1500) are
  • the nonreactive fatty esters of polyethylene glycol are key factors in accomplishing the following two crucial objectives:
  • incorporation of the soluble ester composition of this invention into a pad bath of one or more of the flame-retardant ingredients, and the subsequent formation of the flame-retardant finish provides an effective durable flame-retardant treatment for blends without the problem of excessive stiffness.
  • the nonreactive fatty esters of polyethylene glycol make it possible to attain desirably high add-ons of bound nitrogen (4 to 7 percent) and phosphorus (2 to 4 percent) with a balanced distribution on both cellulosic and noncellulosic components of the synthetic-cellulosic fabric blend.
  • nonreactive esters of polyethylene glycol are quite specific in bringing about the beneficial effects discussed above. Closely related derivatives, such as polyethylene glycols or their monoesters, having a methoxy group in place of a terminal hydroxy group are hardly effective in meaningful control of stiffness.
  • the present invention can be used with cellulose-polyester blended fabrics containing from to 90 percent cellulose and from about 90 to 10 percent polyester.
  • Suitable commercial blended fabrics are: polyester 20% and cotton 80%, polyester 35% and cotton 65%, polyester 50% and cotton 50%, polyester 65% and cotton 35%, polyester 80% and cotton 20%, and polyester 65% and regenerated cellulose (as viscose rayon) 35%.
  • the invention is applicable likewise to other ratios, and to blends having fiber types in addition to cellulosic and polyester types, such as the blend consisting of polyester 37%, cotton 35%, and spandex 28%.
  • Cellulose fibers include those made from (a) seed hairs, e.g., cotton, (b) bast fibers such as flax (linen), and (c) rayon and modified rayons.
  • Examples 1-3 illustrate the ability of the polyethylene glycol esters employed in the present invention to prevent undue stiffening of the treated cellulosepolyester blended fabrics, while the remaining examples illustrate the methods of the present invention for rendering such blended fabrics flame retardant. In the examples percents and parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.

Its stiffness was 550 milligram-centimeters in the warp direction. Samples were padded with an aqueous solution of trimethylolmelamine (28% hydrogen peroxide (0.3%), and an additive (polyethylene glycol derivative) present in the percentage shown in the accompanying table. (For the control sample, only the additive Was omitted.) The wet pickup was 72-81%. Then the samples were dried at room temperature (approximately 21 C.) to a moisture content of 20%. While on a frame, samples were steamed for 8 minutes. They were then washed in warm water, framed to original dimensions, dried in an oven at 105 C., and reweighed. Results of observations and calculations are shown in the accompanying table.

The latter compound had been made by a condensation reaction involving tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (2 moles) and urea (1 mole). Prior to padding, the pH of the pad bath had been raised to 6 by the addition of a relatively small quantity of N,N',N"-nitrilotriethanol.
  • the fabric was dried at approximately 71 C. on a pin frame. Then the pin frame with the fabric on it was placed horizontally in a chamber designed for steaming. Steam at approximately 102 C. was introduced, and the fabric was exposed to it for 30 seconds. Next, the fabric was rinsed according to the rinsing procedure described in Example 4. Then the treated fa-bric blend was dried on a frame at 105 C. Data in the accompanying table demonstrate that this suiting fabric had durable flame retardance. Note that the fabric had been impregnated with (ureylenedimethylene)bis[tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphoniu-m] dichloride, trimethylolmelamine, and polyethylene glycol monooleate in the relative amounts by weight of approximately 4, 2, and '1, respectively.

Data in the accompanying table demonstrate that this suiting fabric had durable flame retardance.
  • polyethylene glycol monooleate Based on char lengths in the vertical flame tests, particularly after numerous launderings, polyethylene glycol monooleate is comparable in effectiveness with tris(2,3- dibromopropyl) phosphate, a commonly used brominated additive to augment the flame retardancy of such blends. Moreover, when polyethylene glycol 1500 monooleate was used, the weight gain (after rinsing and drying) was 18.8%, definitely less than the weight gain of 23.0% when tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate was used. Inasmuch as polyethylene glycol 1500 monooleate is a nonreactive additive, it is not insolubilized on the fibers.
