Definitions

  • This invention relates to the dyeing of cotton and blended fabric materials, in the form of yarn, fabric, or articles of clothing, in a batch or continuous process.
  • Indigo being one of the longest-known coloring agents, has been used to dye cellulose-based textiles, such as cotton, for centuries.
  • conventional dyeing processes include reducing the indigo dye to a soluble leuco form having an amber color, using a suitable reducing agent with an alkaline material. After the fabric material is then exposed to the leuco form in a bath, the fabric material is exposed to air or oxygen so that the reduced dye within the fabric is oxidized, returning to an insoluble form in which the blue color is apparent.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,166,717 describes a process in which the indigo is reduced to its soluble leuco form with sodium hydrosulfate and maintained in an aqueous solution with sodium hydroxide.
  • An aldehyde addition product such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, or furfural, is added to the solution, with an adduct, such as a bisulfate or a sulfoxylate.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,935,273 describes a process for the continuous dyeing of yarn containing cellulose in a single passage through an aqueous solution of indigo in its reduced, or leuco, state in a dye liquor additionally containing deoxidants, alkali, and a dissolved alkali metal salt at a concentration of 100 to
  • the conventional process includes labor-intensive steps associated with the handling of the yarn, such as warp beam make-up and yarn quilling. To eliminate such steps, what is needed is a method for dyeing garments instead of the yarn used in their production. Additionally, dying garments provides for effective inventory control, and for the color coordination of garments containing different types of yarns or knitted and woven materials.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,845,789 describes a process for the rapid dyeing of a series of successive garments or batches of garments with a vat dye, preferably indigo dye. While the garments are being constrained, they are submerged in, and impregnated with, a dyeing solution in a first bath. Then, they are removed from the first bath and held with the draining from them to be conserved for reuse. Next, the garments are promptly immersed in an oxidizing solution in a second bath to shock oxidize the dye present in the garments, which are then removed from the oxidizing bath while draining the oxidizing solution and preserving it for reuse. The garments are then washed and dried. The time between removal of the garments from the dyeing solution and their placement in the oxidizing solution is less than five minutes.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,037 describes a process for dyeing with a vat dye, such as an indigo dye solution, a series of successive garments made with fabric containing cellulose.
  • the garments are supported on supports that keep all fabric surface3s of each garment accessible to treating solutions, so that the materials are uniformly impregnated with a dye solution at a first bath.
  • the garments are then inserted in an oxidizing solution within a second bath to uniformly oxidize the dye present within each garment.
  • the patent art additionally describes a number of methods for treating cellulosic material and blends including cellulose to improve dyeability for dye materials other than indigo.
  • a method for producing anionically dyeable smooth dry crosslinked cellulose is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,298,584, with a cellulose-containing material being modified with a combination of a hydroxyalkylamine or a hydroxyalkyl quaternary ammonium salt, one or more glycols, and a crosslinking agent.
  • the reaction is typically catalyzed with salts such as zinc nitrate or magnesium chloride, used either alone or in conjunction with citric acid.
  • salts such as zinc nitrate or magnesium chloride, used either alone or in conjunction with citric acid.
  • Types of usable anionic dyes include acid, direct, and reactive dyes.
  • the cellulose-containing material may be in the form of fibers, yarns, slivers, and paper.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,139,530 describes the production of anionically dyeable smooth-dry crosslinked cellulosic materials by treatment of methylolamide crosslinked cellulosic materials with an alkali swelling agent such as sodium hydroxide before dyeing.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,576,589 describes a method for dyeing a fabric, such as a polyester/cotton fiber, in a vat/disperse dye system, using hydroxylamine sulfate under conditions of thermal fixation.
  • the hydroxylamine sulfate is maintained at a pH in the range 5.0 to 6.5 in a vat/disperse dye pad to obtain maximum penetration of the dye within the fibers of the fabric.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,421 describes a method of manufacturing a homogeneous water-insoluble dye layer on a substrate, with a solution of a cationic or anionic dye in an organic solvent being provided on the substrate, with the solvent being removed, and with the resulting dye layer being treated with am aqueous solution of a salt.
  • the cation of the anionic dye is exchanged for the cation of the salt.
  • the anion of the cationic dye is exchanged for the salt or acid.
  • a method for dyeing a cellulosic material includes:
  • the cellulosic material to be dyed may be a cotton fiber or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, in the form of yarn, woven or knitted cloth, or garments.
  • the first polarity is negative, with the first additive being an anionic acrylic copolymer, while the second additive is a cationic polyamide or polyamine.
  • the method may be performed in a rotary dyeing machine, with multiple baths being added and drained between the process steps, in a pad-jig process, with the cellulosic material being fed entirely through multiple baths added and drained within a jig bath vessel, or in a continuous process, with the cellulosic material simultaneously moving through multiple baths.

  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of apparatus performing a pad-jig version of the process of FlG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view of apparatus performing a continuous version of the process of FIG. 1.
  • a dyebath is prepared for dying cellulosic material, with an indigo dye in its pigment form being mixed with a first additive, causing the indigo particles to become electrically charged in a first polarity.
  • a first additive for example, an anionic acrylic copolymer is used as the first additive in an aqueous bath to make the particles take on a negative charge, making the treated particles anionic. As the particles become charged in this way, they also become rapidly and evenly dispersed within the bath, apparently due to the fact that these similarly charged particles repel one another.
  • the cellulosic material to be dyed may be a cotton fiber or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, in the form of yarn, woven or knitted cloth, or finished articles of clothing.
  • this material is prepared by treatment with a second additive causing a substrate to be formed on the cellulosic material, with the substrate having an ionic charge opposite in polarity to the charged pigment particles.
  • a second additive such as a cationic polyamide, causing a cationic substrate to be formed.
  • Such a material additionally crosslinks to form a strong bond with the cellulosic material.
  • this process is continued until the dyebath is exhausted, with essentially all of the indigo pigment being transferred to the cellulosic material.
  • the cellulosic material placed in a reduction bath with the ionic bonds continuing to hold the indigo pigment in place on the substrate.
  • the indigo pigment is reduced to its soluble leuco form to enter the fibers of the cellulosic material.
  • an oxidation process is applied to return the dye in its leuco state to its blue pigment form.
  • Oxidation may be accomplished in several ways. For example, if the cellulosic material is a roll of fabric, the fabric may be opened and passed through a vacuum extractor to pull liquids from the fabric. Then, the fabric is fed around cold cylinders. Alternately, the cellulosic material may be passed through a chamber in which it is exposed to ozone for a few seconds. The ozone oxidizes the dye and removes most of the sulfites that otherwise interfere with indigo fixation.
  • the cellulosic material is a garment being dyed in a batch process within a rotary machine, ozidation occurs while the garments are tumbled without water, with the door of the machine open, or with air being pumped into the machine while the garments are drying. Following oxidation in air, the garments are preferably rinsed with peroxide and acetic acid to remove sulfites.
  • This process avoids a problem associated with the limited affinity of indigo in its soluble leuco form for cellulosics.
  • This problem has limited the application of the leuco form to cotton materials in the conventional process to about 0.3% of the weight of the cotton materials per dip, with about 2% being needed to produce a deep shade upon subsequent oxidation to the pigment state. Therefore, the conventional process typically requires five to seven dips, with oxidation occurring between dips.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de teinture d'un matériau cellulosique, tel que le coton ou un mélange comprenant du coton, se présentant sous la forme d'un fil, d'un tissu ou de vêtements. Ce procédé consiste à: a) préparer un bain de teinture contenant des particules d'indigo et un additif tel qu'un copolymère acrylique anionique, ce qui entraîne la charge des particules; b) préparer le matériau cellulosique en appliquant un additif tel qu'un polyamide cationique pour former un substrat pourvu d'une charge attirant les particules; c) immerger le matériau cellulosique dans le bain de teinture; d) réduire chimiquement les particules retenues sur le matériau cellulosique à une forme de leucodérivés et e) oxyder le matériau colorant.
