Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A process for producing improved textile material with soil release characteristics which comprises applying thereto a soil release composition and passing gas through said textile material at a rate sufficient to remove excess soil release composition. Also, the product produced by this process.
  • the proportion of the soil release chemicals on the fabric required to provide a high soil release rating was considered to be about 3 percent solids or more based on the dry weight of the fabric. Lesser amounts gave poor soil release characteristics. However, a fairly large proportion of the soil release chemicals was present in the interstitial voids and not being distributed on the fiber surfaces, did not contribute to the soil release properties.
  • the present invention provides a novel process for achieving soil release properties equivalent to that attained with conventional methods while substantially reducing the proportion of the soil release chemicals required. About 2 percent of soil release chemical solids when using the present invention, gives as high a soil release rating as 3 percent solids using conventional padding techniques.
  • a process which comprises applying a soil release composition to a textile material and passing a gas through said textile material at a rate sufficient to remove excess soil release composition from the interstices while inhibiting the formation of substantially any excessive film of the composition on the surface of the textile material. It is preferable to have the gas passed through the face of the textile material to its back thus leaving a minimum amount on the surface to inhibit marking.
  • a gas may be passed through the textile material, preferably in the form of a knitted, woven or nonwoven fabric, by a wide variety of expedients.
  • a fabric is passed in contact with a vacuum source which will draw air through the fabric at a rate sufficient to remove excess amounts of the soil release chemicals.
  • the passage of the gas through the fabric at such a high rate removes excess liquid located in the interstices of the fabric.
  • the gas passing through the fabric is generally air from the atmosphere, particularly when a vacuum is applied to the fabric. While such an arrangement is desirable, similar results may be achieved by blowing or otherwise inducing a positive flow of gas through the fabric. In such a situation, the air or any other gas may be heated or cooled as desired.
  • the flow of air or gas through the fabric will preferably be at a velocity between about 50 and 100 feet of air per second and particularly between about 60 and feet per second. This may be accomplished with a vacuum gauge reading between about 5 inches and 15 inches of mercury depending materially upon the particular dimensions of the slot or orifice and the construction of the fabric being treated.
  • the slot or orifice through which the flow of air moves is an elongated opening or arrangement of openings approximately the width of the fabric.
  • the other dimension is preferably quite small.
  • a slot or a plurality of openings are spaced in a general pattern from about three sixty-fourths to about A inch in width, and particularly between about one-sixteenth and A inch in width.
  • the method of the invention provides substantially complete removal of the excess liquid quickly and efficiently so that the fabric can be processed at high speeds, e.g., up to yards per minute or more, without decreasing the efficiency of the process.
  • textile material processed according to the invention achieves a substantially uniform liquid retention from side to side and along its length even though the fabric after immersion in the pad bath and prior to its exposure to the gas flow may be non-uniform in its liquid content.
  • the soil release composition of this invention and any other chemicals may be applied to the textile material by the conventional procedures including padding, although spraying, dipping and the like may be employed.
  • an initial wet pickup by the textile material of about 30 to 100 percent by weight is used.
  • the pickup of chemical will vary with the fabric construction and the proportion of the chemical solids desired on the textile material as well as the total solids in the pad bath. If the initial pickup is excessive, squeeze rolls may be used to reduce the liquid content before the gas fiow treatment.
  • the amount of liquid remaining on the textile material after the gas flow treatment, for a given construction, will depend to a large extent upon the type of fiber or filament from which the textile material has been prepared. For example, the wet pickup of cotton fab- :rics is substantially greater than that of polyester/cotton fabrics due to the hydrophobicity of the polyester fibers.
  • the processing conditions of the invention may be adjusted to remove excess liquid from the textile material even though the actual amounts of the original and final liquid contents may vary with the particular fiber and the fiber content.
  • the determination of the processing conditions advantageously may be accomplished by first selecting the amount of soil release chemicals required on a particular fabric in its finished state, second selecting a gas flow of an efficient rate to remove the excess liquid, and third adjusting the solids in the pad bath based on the above to give the required pickup of chemicals.
  • the process of present invention is useful in the treatment of a wide variety of textile materials made from natural or synthetic fibers or blends of such fibers.
  • natural fibers include cotton, linen, and flax.
  • Suitable synthetic fibers include both regenerated cellulose fibers such as viscose rayon and synthetic polymeric fibers, for example, polyamides, acrylics and particularly polyesters and blends thereof.
  • Durable press garments and articles generally are made from blends of polyester and cotton or rayon fibers. While the textile material undergoing treatment is preferably in the form of a fabric, the process of the invention may be used on fibers. yarns, threads and the like.
  • the soil release composition employed in the process of the present invention may include one or more of a large number of different soil release compounds and chemicals, for example, synthetic acid polymers, low molecular weight polyesters, fluorochemicals and polymerizable monomers of such compounds for in situ formation of the soil release composition.
  • Synthetic acid polymers suitable as the soil release composition of the present invention may be prepared from any of the polymerizable organic acids, i.e., those having reactive points of unsaturation, e.g., one of the acrylic acids. These polymers may be homopolymers of the acids or interpolymers of an acid and other monomers copolymerizable therewith so long as at least percent by weight acid is present in the polymer. Examples of polymerizable acids that may be used are acrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, cinnamic acid, polymerizable sulfonic acids, polymerizable phosphoric acids, etc.
  • Monomers that may be interpolymerized with the above acids include monomers capable of copolymerizing with the acids which will not adversely affect the polymer.
  • Suitable monomers include esters of the above acids prepared by reacting the acid with an alkyl alcohol, e.g., acrylic esters such as ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, 2- ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, etc.; alkyl fumarates, maleates, crotonates, cinnamates, etc.; vinyl halides; monomers having vinylidene groups, e.g., styrene, acrylonitrile, methylstyrene; substituted vinyl monomers, e.g., chlorostyrene, butadiene, etc.
  • the acid polymer should contain at least about 10 percent by weight acid calculated as acrylic acid.
  • the acid polymer contains at least about 20 percent by weight acid and particularly between about 30 percent and percent acid.
  • Copolymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with an acrylate ester such as ethyl acrylate are considered to be especially useful.
  • the soil release composition is preferably applied as an aqueous dispersion.
  • aqueous dispersion between about 2 percent and 40 percent and preferably between about 5 percent and 35 percent by weight of the soil release chemical is present in the aqueous dispersion.
  • proportion of the soil release chemical on the textile material it is desirable to have between about 0.2 percent and 7 percent by weight thereof based on the dry weight of the textile material and preferably between about 0.5 percent and 4 percent by weight.
  • the soil release composition may include other ingredients in addition to the soil release chemicals, for example, emulsifying agents, wetting agents, softeners and other compounds that enhance the physical characteristics of the textile materials.
  • Durable press characteristics may be achieved by the application to a fabric of a textile resin or a vinyl monomer with dual functionality as described in US. Pat. No. 3,377,249. Such durable press materials, together with any required catalysts, may be applied simultaneously with the soil release composition or sequentially therewith.
  • a fabric 11 is guided over rolls 12, 13, and between squeeze rolls 14 with roll 13 being positioned to immerse the fabric 1 1 in a liquid 16 contained in bath 17.
  • the fabric emerging from liquid 16 passes between squeeze rolls 14 and across a slot 18 in a distributor chamber 19 which has a control valve 20.
  • Chamber 19 is connected to storage container 23 through a line 22.
  • Storage container 23 is connected to a vacuum pump 24 through line 26 which includes a three way control valve 27 with one port opening directly to the air.
  • Storage chamber 23 has a hinged cover 28 from which is suspended a baffle 29.
  • a screen bucket 31 is disposed within container 23 to collect solid contaminants.
  • Container 23 also is fitted with a vacuum gauge 32 and a level control 33 which activates a pump 34 connected to container 23 through line 36.
  • Pump 34 has a discharge line 37 to bath 17.
  • the invention is directed to a process in which excess soil release chemical is removed from textile material by creating a flow of gas through the interstices of the textile material.
  • a desired flow of gas can be achieved by directing a gas under pressure against a fabric. Such an arrangement will blow the liquid from the fabric in the same way as the vacuum apparatus sucks the liquid therefrom.
  • a principal advantage of the vacuum system resides in the flexibility of processing fabric at high speeds.
  • the soil release values are determined by comparison with a set of standards having numerical ratings from 1.0 to 5.0, with 1.0 representing no stain removal and 5.0 complete removal of the stain.
  • the fabrics are stained with mineral oil as received and then washed one time in a Kenmore automatic washer using a normal washing cycle with one cup of Tide detergent (sold by Proctor and Gamble) and a wash water temperature at about F.
  • the stains in the dried fabric are compared with the set of standards.
  • the values listed in the Tables under the headings 5 and 10 washes represent oil staining after 5 or 10 normal washings and then a single wash to remove the stain.
  • EXAMPLE I A 60 inch poplin fabric of 106 X 59 construction and a Weight of about 5 ounces per square yard made from polyester and rayon fibers (65%/35% blend) is treated with an aqueous mixture of 10 percent dimethylol ethylene urea (50 percent solution), 4 percent dihydroxy dimethylol ethylene urea (50 percent solution), 14 percent emulsion copolymer of 70 percent ethyl acrylate, 27 percent acrylic acid and 3 percent sodium acrylate (12 A percent solids), 4 percent catalyst MX (50% MgCl 61-1 0), 2 percent ethyloxylated nonyl phenol and 3 percent of a mixture of softeners and hand building agents.
  • the above bath is padded onto the fabric to provide about 50 percent wet pickup and then passed over a slot 3/33" X 60" similar to that shown in the drawing with a vacuum gauge reading of about 5 inches of mercury to reduce the liquid content to about 30 percent.
  • the fabric is then dried to normal moisture regain and then cured in an oven at about 325F. for about 15 minutes.
  • a control fabric is processed in the same manner except that the fabric is not extracted by passing over a vacuum slot.
  • the resulting fabrics are compared and the vacuum extracted sample has a soft hand and does not show any significant streaking or marking when a fingernail is drawn over the fabric, while the control fabric has a harsh stiffer hand and shows considerable marking.
  • the results of soil release tests are as follows:
  • a fabric similar to that employed in Example I is treated with an aqueous mixture containing 14 percent N-methylol acrylamide (60 percent aqueous solution) and 0.1 percent ethyloxylated nonyl phenol.
  • the fabric is dried by heating at about F and then irradiated with a two megarad dose by passing the fabric through irradiation equipment including an insulating core transformer manufactured by the High Voltage Equipiment Corporation of Burlington, Mass.
  • the fabric is washed with water and dried in an oven to normal moisture regain.
  • the fabric is treated with an aqueous pad bath comprising 15 percent of the acrylic emulsion copolymer of Example 1, 2 percent of the ethyloxylated nonyl phenol, 4 percent of the catalyst MX. and 1 percent of the softener.
  • the fabric is then dried to normal moisture regain and cured in an oven at about 525F. for about 15 minutes.
  • a control sample of the fabric is processed according to the above procedure except that the fabric is not passed over the vacuum slot to reduce the liquid content of the fabric.
  • the hand and marking tendency of the fabrics is compared, and the vacuum extracted sample is superior in both respects.
  • EXAMPLE III A 60 inch poplin fabric of 106 X 60 construction and a weight of about 5 ounces per square yard made from polyester and cotton fibers (65%/35% blend) is treated with an aqueous mixture containing 18 percent N- :methylol acrylamide (60 percent aqueous solution) and 0.1 percent ethyloxylated nonyl phenol.
  • the fabric is dried by heating at about 185F and then irradiated with a two megarad dose by passing the fabric through the irradiation equipment of Example II.
  • the fabric is washed with water and dried in an oven to normal moisture regain.
  • the fabric is treated with an aqueous pad bath comprising 45 percent emulsion copolymer of 70 percent methacrylic acid and 30 percent ethylacrylate, 6 percent zinc nitrate catalyst (50 percent Zn(NO 6H O) and 2.5 percent softeners.
  • the above bath is padded onto the fabric to provide about 55 percent wet pickup, and then the fabric is passed over the vacuum slot of Example I with about 10 inches of mercury reading on the vacuum gauge to reduce the liquid content to about 22 percent.
  • the fabric is then dried to normal moisture regain and cured in an oven at 325F. for about minutes.
  • a control sample of the same fabric is processed according to the above procedure except the fabric is not passed over the vacuum slot to reduce the wet content of the fabric and the proportions of the chemicals in the second bath are adjusted to provide the same proportion of the soil release chemicals on the fabric as the above fabric after it has passed over the vacuum slot.
  • the proportion of the acrylic copolymer is reduced to 18 percent, the catalyst to 2.4 percent and the softeners to 1 percent.
