In the textile industry, when dyeing fabrics or fibers/yarns, the nature of the fabric and the nature of the dye molecules can impact the efficiency
and effectiveness of the coloring process. Oxidative dyes are generally insoluble in water, and consequently, the water soluble thermoplastic material does not pick up oxidative colors. The methods described herein allow for dyeing of thermoplastic fibers / fabrics with oxidative dyes/colors.
In one aspect provided herein is a method for dyeing thermoplastic fibers, filaments, and/or spun yarn, and garments or fabrics thereof that comprises an exhaustion process. The exhaustion process described herein is suitable for dyeing of thermoplastic fibers or fabrics comprising thermoplastic fibers. As used herein an exhaustion process , or an exhaust process , refers to a process where the fabric or fiber/yarn to be dyed is placed in an exhaustion chamber containing solvents and/or water and one or more dyes and any other ancillary reagents.
According to an embodiment, the present disclosure provides an exhaustion process for dyeing thermoplastic fibers or yarns is carried out in the exhaustion chamber. In the first step, the thermoplastic fibers or yarns are added along with swelling agents in the dye bath of the exhaustion chamber and swelled at glass transition stage in a dye bath in presence of swelling agent then adding an oxidative dye and a dispersing agent in the dye bath and allowing molecules of the oxidative dye to penetrate uniformly into the fibers, yarns, or fabrics. After penetration, a high temperature stable reducing agent and a buffer are adding to the mixture and temperature of dye bath is raised to about 1 1 0 - 130°C which is maintained for at least about 60 minutes. After that
oxidation. Then an oxidation agent is added to the mixture and washed the dyed fibers, yarns, fabrics or for removal of insoluble or unfixed dyes to obtain wash-dyed fibers, or fabric.
The steps are now described herein below in detailed for understanding purpose. The term refers in thermoplastic fibers for reference purpose and to avoid mere repetitions and include staple fibers, yarns/filaments, and fabrics made from thermoplastic polymers. The thermoplastic polymer includes from acrylic fiber/filaments, or polyester fiber/filaments, nylon, nylon 66, P BT, and P LA fiber/filaments. F urther, the yarns, and fabrics may include blends of the polymeric staples fibers or yarns/filaments with the man-made fibers or natural fibers.
In the first step, swelling agents are added along with the fiber in a dye bath, swelling agent helps to swell fibers. The swelling of the fibers is preferably performed at glass transition stage of the polymers for a predetermined time in a dye bath. G enerally, the swelling is carried out at least for about 10 minutes. The swelling agent opens up pores of fibers.
The swelling agent at glass transition state of the polymers swells the fiber and ultimately causes relaxation and opening the internal fiber structure. The swelling agent comprises one or more of ortho-phenyl phenol, diphenyl, aromatic ethers such as Univadine DIF™, emulsifiable solvents such as P E G, chlorinated aromatic compounds and esters thereof, di-methyl ester of terephthalic acid.
Once the fibers swells- up, oxidative dyes with dispersing agent are
added in the dye bath. The swelling of the fibers allows the dye molecules to diffuse rapidly in the fibers. The swelling agents act as molecular lubricants reducing inter-molecular forces operating in the fiber, thereby following the dye molecule to force its way in. The oxidative dye added in the dye bath generally in the composition form comprising dispersing agents, sodium hydroxide, sodium hydro-sulfite, citric acid along with the oxidative dye. The composition is known to the person skilled in the art and the percentage of the oxidative dye in the composition depends upon the shade required to the fibers. F urther, addition of the dispersing agent along with an oxidative dye to the mixture of first step, allows the molecules of the oxidative dye to penetrate uniformly into the fibers or fabric. The penetration process is also carried out for at least about 10 minutes. According to the present disclosure, the oxidative dye and the dispersing agent are added in the mixture at a temperature of about 70 °C -80 °C, more typically 80°C .
In the context of the present invention, S etamol WS™ is used as a dispersing agent wherein a surface-active substance added to a suspension, usually a colloid, to improve the separation of particles and to prevent settling or clumping. S odium Hydroxide acts as a stabilized reducing agent that maintains the pH of the process and S odium Hydrosulphite / (Rongolite HT™) acts as a reducing agent. The oxidative dye according to the present disclosure includes indigo or a sulphur dye.
During penetration, the temperature of the dye bath decreases. After
about 10 minutes from the addition of the dye composition, a high temperature stable reducing agent is added. The reducing agent comprises a sulphonic acid derivative along with the pH buffer and the dyeing process temperature is again increased at a temperature to about 1 10-130 °C, more preferably to 1 10 eC which is maintained at least for about 60 minutes.
After confirming that the dyeing process is complete based on Optical Density and S hade depth, the temperature is reduced to 80 eC and oxidation step is carried out in the dye bath. The oxidation of the fiber- diffused dye molecules is carried out in the presence of oxidation agents such as hydrogen peroxide or Oxidant B RI Liq. E r. Other oxidation agents are contemplated within the scope of embodiments described herein. In the context of the present invention, the oxidation agent is added in the mixture at a temperature of about 70 °C-80 °C, more typically at 80°C .
After oxidation step, the unfixed dyestuff is rendered water insoluble by oxidation, and removal of unfixed dyes is carried out. The unfixed dyes are removed by using hydrogen peroxide and dispersing agent. F inally, the material was washed with soap to remove all the chemicals. A non- ionic soap, namely Metaxil AWF, is used to wash the dyed material.
In one embodiment, the exhaustion efficiency of the exhaustion process described above is in a range of about 80 " 90%, more typically 85 %.
