Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the dyeing and finishing of a lyocell fabric.
  • the term ""lyocell fabric” means a fabric formed, particularly woven or knitted, from yarns, particularly staple fibre yarns, comprising lyocell fibres.
  • Such yarns may comprise lyocell fibres alone or a blend of lyocell fibres with fibres of one or more other cellulosic or non-cellulosic types, such as cotton, viscose, linen, polyester and nylon.
  • the fabric may additionally include yarns which do not incorporate lyocell fibres, for example yarns of the other fibre types referred to and blends thereof.
  • Lyocell fibres are produced by extrusion of a solution of cellulose through a spinning jet into a coagulation bath, by a process known as solvent spinning. They are thus alternatively known as solvent-spun cellulose fibres. Such a process is described in US-A-4,246,221 and uses as the solvent an aqueous tertiary amine ⁇ -oxide, particularly ⁇ - methylmorpholine ⁇ -oxide.
  • Lyocell fibres are thereby distinguished from other man-made cellulose fibres produced by forming the cellulose into a soluble chemical derivative and then extruding a solution of this derivative into a bath which regenerates the extrudate as cellulose fibres; viscose fibres, including the high-strength modal types, are produced in the latter way.
  • Lyocell fibres are known to have a tendency to fibrillate during vigorous dyeing and finishing processes, and various methods of dealing with this phenomenon have been proposed.
  • dyeing and finishing of lyocell fabrics is carried out using relatively gentle processing such as pad-dyeing of open- width fabric, and a resin-finishing treatment using a cross-linking agent is carried out on the dyed fabric to protect the fibres against fibrillation in subsequent laundering processes.
  • Another method of dealing with this fibrillation tendency of lyocell fibres is to treat the fibres so as to remove the relatively long protruding fibre ends which are formed in the first stage of the fibrillation process (so-called ⁇ primary fibrillation") and which otherwise produce a hairy effect, often matted, on the surface of the fabric and thereby disfigure its appearance.
  • ⁇ primary fibrillation the relatively long protruding fibre ends which are formed in the first stage of the fibrillation process
  • x secondary fibrillation the development of the shorter fibrils formed in the fibrillation process
  • shorter fibrils create a surface finish characterised as being ⁇ x clea " , in the sense of being substantially free from a hairy effect, and as having a soft touch imparted by the shorter fibrils on the surface and referred to as a ⁇ soft-touch finish" .
  • a ⁇ soft-touch finish When the shorter fibrils are sufficiently developed then the soft touch of the fabric surface is more pronounced and the soft-touch finish is referred to as a , ⁇ peach-touch finish" .
  • a further example is described in GB-A- 2,314,568 and involves use of the dyeing machine itself, for example a jet dyeing machine, to subject the lyocell fabric to an extended treatment with a solution of a strong mineral acid such as sulphuric acid for 30 to 120 minutes before rinsing the fabric and then commencing the dyeing sequence in the machine.
  • a strong mineral acid such as sulphuric acid
  • One process used successfully in commercial processing involves a post-treatment of a lyocell fabric that has been subjected to a wet processing operation such as dyeing.
  • the protruding fibre ends produced in primary fibrillation are removed in this post-treatment by applying to the fabric a solution of a cellulase enzyme.
  • the desired secondary fibrillation is developed in subsequent processing, for example in the dyeing process itself (if later) or in subsequent washing and drying steps using rotary tumbling machines, to produce a soft-touch finish on the surface of the fabric.
  • Cellulase enzyme treatments are successful in removing the long fibre ends produced in primary fibrillation from the surface of the fabric, but they are expensive both in terms of material costs and in terms of processing time.
  • a process was developed by the present applicant to overcome these deficiencies and is described in WO-A- 02/103104. It comprises a pre-treatment of a lyocell fabric carried out before the normal fibrillation-inducing steps of dyeing (such as jet-dyeing) , washing and drying, using vigorous action on the fabric in at least one of those steps so as to produce fibrillation on the surface of the fabric, and it involves evenly impregnating the fabric with an aqueous solution of an acid or acid donor before heat- treating it in a gaseous atmosphere to activate the action of the acid or acid donor.
  • the temperature ranges quoted for heat treatment are 120 to 220°C, preferably 140 to 200°C. This process is able to produce dyed and finished lyocell fabrics having a clean, soft-touch finish substantially free from visible crease marks.
  • the present invention provides a process for producing a dyed and finished lyocell fabric having a clean, soft-touch finish, comprising, subjecting a lyocell fabric to a wet processing treatment using mechanical action to induce fibrillation on the surface of the fabric and subsequently giving the fabric a tumbling treatment to develop the clean, soft-touch finish, characterised in that, at a stage prior to the tumbling treatment, the fabric is subjected to impregnation with a solution comprising a mixture of a multi-functional carboxylic acid and a Lewis acid, followed by a heat-treatment in a gaseous atmosphere at a temperature of 60°C to below 120°C.
  • the process of the invention may be applied to woven and knitted lyocell fabrics in the length. It may also be applied to garments and piece goods made from lyocell fabrics, for which it is especially useful.
  • the steps of impregnation with the mixed acids solution followed by the gaseous heat treatment are preferably carried out as a pre-treatment before the fibrillation- inducing step. Surprisingly, it is also possible to achieve effective results by carrying out these steps after the fibrillation-inducing step.
  • the fibrillation- inducing step may be a dyeing process involving mechanical action on the fabric, one example being a jet-dyeing process in which the fabric, in fabric rope form, is propelled through a dyeing machine under the influence of jets of air or liquor and is thereby subjected to vigorous action, as by bending and twisting forces and impact and abrasive forces against machine surfaces.
  • the effect of the steps of mixed acid impregnation and gaseous heat-treatment seems to be one of weakening the surface fibres of the lyocell fabric so that the relatively long fibres, . formed during the primary fibrillation phase are more easily removed in the normal course of the subsequent process steps.
  • the use of the mixed acids is surprisingly more effective at giving rise to a clean, soft-touch finish after a tumbling treatment than using the individual carboxylic or Lewis acids on their own or a mixture of Lewis acids in corresponding amounts, and it allows the use of temperatures in the gaseous heat-treatment step of below 120°C, in particular below 115°C, more particularly below 110°C and preferably no greater than 100°C.
  • the solution of the mixed acids is preferably an aqueous solution.
  • the fabric may be evenly impregnated with this solution using any of the conventional techniques for applying liquids to fabric.
  • Fabric in the length may be passed in open width through a pad bath of the aqueous solution, usually with a wet pick-up of the solution in the range 65 to 80 per cent by weight owf (on weight of fabric) .
  • Piece goods or garments may be immersed in the solution in a vessel such as a drum washing machine. In this case, the wet pick-up is lower than with the padding method, usually about 45 to 55 per cent by weight owf .
  • Immersion methods also require a hydro-extraction step such as spin-drying before the following heat treatment.
  • the multi-functional carboxylic acid preferably is citric acid or tartaric acid.
  • the Lewis acid preferably is magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, zinc fluoroborate or zinc nitrate.
  • the concentration in the treatment solution of the carboxylic acid is suitably in the range 2 to 30 g/1 (grams per litre) , preferably 3 to 12 g/1, and the concentration of the Lewis acid is suitably in the range 2 to 45 g/1, preferably 8 to 30 g/1.
  • the wet pick-up of the treatment solution varies according to the method of application and this will affect the concentration of each of the acids to be used.
  • the respective concentration ranges are suitably 2 to 20 g/1, preferably 3 to 8 g/1, for the carboxylic acid and 2 to 30 g/1, preferably 8 to 20 g/1, for the Lewis acid.
  • the respective concentration ranges are suitably 3 to 30 g/1, preferably 4 to 12 g/1, for the carboxylic acid and 3 to 45 g/1, preferably 11 to 30 g/1, for the Lewis acid.
  • the heat-treatment of the impregnated fabric preferably is carried out in hot air as the gaseous atmosphere.
  • treatment times depend upon the temperatures or acid concentrations being used, longer times being needed at the lower ends of the specified ranges.
  • the treatment time may be in the range 2 to 15 minutes.
  • the treatment time required may extend to 45 to 60 minutes.
  • several hours of heat-treatment may be required.
  • the fabric preferably is subjected to a desizing or scouring operation, usually carried out prior to the impregnation with the mixed acids solution.
  • This desizing or scouring may be . a conventional operation in which the fabric is passed through a scouring bath to remove the size or lubricant. If pre-bleaching of the fabric is required, then it is also preferred that this is carried out prior to the impregnation with the mixed acids solution.
  • Another possible treatment of the fabric is a so-called causticising treatment with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. If this is carried out, it is preferably carried out after the impregnation with the mixed acids solution and the subsequent heat treatment but before a dyeing step.
  • Causticising is often carried out to improve the flexibility of the fabric in the wet state.
  • a process for its application to lyocell fabrics is described in EP-A- 0,749,505, where it is described as mercerising.
  • Causticising also enhances dyeability of the fabric which may be depressed by the acid treatment and it has the further effect that the fabric is tightened (modified) in structure, which helps to reduce any propensity for shrinkage in later wet processing.
  • the fabric should be thoroughly rinsed with hot and then cold water to remove residual caustic soda.
  • the acid impregnation and gaseous heat- treatment steps are preferably (but not necessarily) carried out as a pre-treatment before the fibrillation- inducing step.
  • the latter step is a wet-processing step in which mechanical action exerted on the wet fabric causes fibrillation to occur on the fabric surface.
  • This fibrillation is of the so-called primary fibrillation type in which relatively long protruding fibre ends are produced to give what would be an unsightly, hairy effect on the fabric surface if these long fibre ends were to remain in place.
  • the effect of the gaseous heat treatment of the fabric impregnated with the solution of mixed acids is to substantially weaken the strength of these fibre ends, so that they are removed from the fabric surface during processing.
  • the fibrillation-inducing step preferably is also the dyeing step, using a dyeing process which exerts the requisite mechanical action on the fabric.
  • a dyeing process which exerts the requisite mechanical action on the fabric.
  • this may be a jet- dyeing operation using commercial water-driven jet-dyeing machines or air jet-dyeing machines.
  • this may be a rotary drum dyeing operation.
  • Conventional dyes and dye recipes for cellulose fabrics may be used in the process of the invention, including those based on direct dyes, vat dyes, sulphur dyes and reactive dyes.
  • the dyed fabric After being washed to remove any unfixed dye, the dyed fabric may be given one or more conventional finishing treatments including application of a soft-finish. These may be carried out after the dyeing and washing processes without the need for any intermediate drying of the fabric.
  • the surface of the dyed fabric does not yet have the desired clean, soft-touch finish. It remains flat and uneven in appearance, possibly with some adherent lint.
  • the fabric is given a tumbling treatment, sometimes referred to as a beating treatment, which raises the relatively short fibres of so- called secondary fibrillation in an even nap over the fabric surface.
  • This treatment preferably is carried out as a dry treatment, i.e. without added liquid, and may be the step in which the fabric is given its final drying.
  • Garments and piece goods may be given a tumbling treatment in a rotary tumbling machine such as a tumble-drier.
  • Tumble-driers usually operate at temperatures of less than 100°C, often no greater than 85°C.
  • Fabric in fabric rope form may be given a tumbling treatment in a fabric rope tumbler such as a Biancalani Airo tumbling machine. Tumbling treatment, times for a fabric rope are usually no longer than 30 to 50 minutes using air temperatures of 50°C to 150°C.
  • the dry lyocell fabric produced by the process of the invention is a dyed fabric having a clean, soft-touch finish.
  • the uniform, soft nap on the fabric surface imparts an attractive handle to the fabric and a subtle appearance, sometimes referred to as a frosted effect.
