Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for optically brightening polyacrylonitrile fibres, which have been manufactured by the wet spinning process and are in the gel state by means of selected types of anionic optical brightening agents.

  • the brighteners of the formulae (1 to are applied to the fibre manufactured by the wet spinning process whilst the fibre is still in the gel state.
  • the fibre still contains large amounts of water and is therefore strongly swollen.
  • the fibre is stretched to orient the macro-molecules and is subsequently dried. This causes the gel state to disappear.
  • Processes for brightening polyacrylonitrile fibres which are in the gel state essentially consist of bringing the fibres, in the swollen state, into contact with the brightener solution either on a padder or in a bath.
  • the latter can for example also be effected by moving the fibre or the hank of fibres through a brightener solution or suspension flowing in counter-current.
  • the baths to be used are appropriately prepared by dissolving or dispersing the brightener in water and adjusting the resulting liquor to the desired pH value with acid and/or a buffer salt.
  • This pH value is generally between 1 and 7, and is, for example, 1.5 to 5.5.
  • the concentration of brightener in the bath is in mostcases so chosen that after the treatment 0.005 to 0.5 percent, for example 0.05 to 0.2 percent, of brightener, relative to the dry weight of the fibre, is absorbed on the fibre.
  • the treatment of the fibre in the brightener bath can be carried out at a bath temperature of below 50C, for example at l0 to 30C.
  • the duration of treatment of the fibre in the brightener bath is less than 2 minutes, preferably less than 40 seconds.
