Definitions
- the first and second position may be within 1 meter of each other.
- the first and second position may be within 0.75m, 0.5m, 0.25m or 0.1m of each other.
- the first and second position on the processing line may be opposite each other, adjacent to each other and/or on top of each other.
- the mass flow rate may be defined as the mass of the dyed textile that passes a given point per unit of time.
- the mass flow rate may be defined as the mass of the dyed textile that passes the first position on the processing line per unit of time.
- the fluid may be removed from the textile by a vacuum.
- a vacuum may efficiently remove the fluid without damaging the textile.
- fluid may be removed from the textile by applying a high velocity gas to the textile.
- the gas may be air.
- the high velocity gas may pass through the textile.
- the high velocity gas may be configured to remove excess liquids and unfixed solids from the dyed textile.
- the fluid applied to the dyed textile at the first position on the processing line may be a predetermined volume of fluid. More specifically, the fluid applied to the dyed textile at the first position on the processing line may comprise a predetermined volume of liquid.
- the fluid applied to the dyed textile at the first position on the processing line may be applied at a predetermined rate.
- the method may further comprise applying a fluid to the dyed textile at a third position on the processing line; and subsequently removing at least 50% of the fluid applied at the third position from the dyed textile at a fourth position on the processing line.
- the applied fluid may be configured to agitate the textile.
- fluid may be forced through the textile at the first position on the processing line.
- the fluid removal may occur opposite the fluid applicator.
- the second position on the processing line may be directly opposite the first position on the fluid processing line.
- Subjecting a dyed textile to a first chamber having a first temperature for a first time period and a second chamber having a second temperate for a second time period may improve the colourfastness and/or softness of the dyed textile.
- the use of two chambers may result in an almost complete fixation of the dyestuff onto the textile. This may be due to the loosely bound dyestuff molecules on the surface of the textile fibres now being more strongly bound to the fibres. Accordingly, only a very small concentration of dyestuff molecules is able to be leveraged away from the textile during colourfastness testing.
- the speed at which the dyed textile is conveyed into the first chamber may be varied.
- the dyed textile may be conveyed into the first chamber at a faster rate than it is conveyed into the second chamber. This may create an excess of dyed textile within the first chamber.
- the consolidated textile roll may be separated from the processing line and conveyed into the second chamber. Simultaneously, the excess dyed textile may begin consolidating to generate a second roll within the first chamber.
- the speed at which the dyed textile is conveyed into the first chamber may be reduced until the excess dyed textile has been consolidated. This may reduce the downtime within the process.
- the processing line is paused in order to remove the roll from the first chamber.
- the method further comprises monitoring and/or controlling the cool down rate of the dyed textile after it has left the second chamber. This may further improve colourfastness.
- the dyed textile may leave the second chamber at approximately 140°C.
- the dyed textile roll may be left to slowly cool in storage. This may further improve the colourfastness of a dyed textile when compared to a sample taken and immediately cooled in an unconsolidated form.
- Subsequently storing the dyed textile between 160°C and 200°C in the first chamber may allow for local diffusion of the remaining dyestuff into the textile fibres. For example, at least 85%, 90%, 93%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% of the dyestuff may diffuse into the textile fibres within the first chamber.
- Contaminants are removed via reverse osmosis in the reverse osmosis unit configured to force the contaminated fluid through a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants.
- the reverse osmosis unit may be configured to remove salts, ions and/or polymers such as lignin from the fluid
- the fluid removal device may be configured to generate a high velocity airflow configured to pass through the dyed textile.
- the dyed textile may be conveyed between the high velocity airflow and the vacuum.
- the textured surface of the roller may be spiralled.
- the mechanical agitator may comprise a brush.
- the brush may be configured to contact the textile, in use.
- the second chamber may comprise a temperature gradient.
- the dyed textile may enter the second chamber at an elevated temperature.
- the thermal energy within the textile may have been applied during the first and/or third chamber. Therefore, the temperature gradient may be formed by the natural cooling of the textile as it is conveyed through the second chamber.
- the first chamber may comprise a cylindrical core configured to receive the dyed textile and form a dyed textile roll, in use.
- the cylindrical core may be a tube.
- a core configured to receive the dyed textile and form a roll efficiently packaging the dyed textile. This consolidated form is easier the move, store and transport.
- the cylindrical core may be configured to maintain pressure equally throughout the roll.
- the core may be cardboard, plastic or metal.
- a subsequent dyed textile roll may be added to the second chamber via the first opening.
- the fixation chamber may be positioned downstream of the first and second chamber. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixation chamber may be positioned upstream of a digital dyeing process. Alternatively, or in addition, the first and second chambers may be positioned upstream of a digital dyeing process.
- the digital dyeing process may be as described in WO 2020/208362, the disclosure in which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the fixation chamber may be positioned upstream of an analogue dyeing process.
- the fixation chamber may be positioned upstream of an exhaust dyeing process; pad dyeing process; spray deposition process; hot or cold transfer process and/or a dye bath.
- the fixation chamber may comprise an infra-red (IR) or near infra-red (NIR) drying module configured to heat the dyed textile.
- IR or NIR is an efficient way to increase the temperature of the textile and fix the dyestuff thereon without damaging the textile.
- the energy supplied to the textile via IR or NIR can also be easily manipulated and optimised.
- the use of digital dyeing and/or infra-red drying may further limit the presence of aggregates on the surface of the textile fibres that can negatively impact colourfastness performance.
- the present invention also relates to apparatus for improving the colourfastness and/or hand-feel of a dyed textile.
- the invention comprises two apparatus that may be used individually or in combination. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is also provided an apparatus for improving the colourfastness of a dyed textile, the apparatus comprising a processing line for conveying a textile; a fluid applicator configured to apply a fluid to the textile being conveyed; a fluid removal device configured to remove the fluid from the textile being conveyed, a first chamber configured to receive the conveyed textile, wherein the first chamber comprises a first controllable environment and wherein the first chamber is configured to temporarily store the dyed textile for a first time period; and a second chamber having a second controllable environment, wherein the second chamber is configured to temporarily store the dyed textile for a second time period.
- each of the aforementioned chamber environments may be digitally controlled.
- the fluid applicator and/or fluid removal device may be digitally controlled.
- the entire processing line may be controlled digitally.
- the processing line may comprise a control unit.
- the control unit may comprise a processor.
- the control unit may be configured to control the environment within each chamber including but not limited to, the temperature and/or cool down rate, where applicable.

- the mechanical agitator 460 is configured to move the textile fibres, in use. More specifically, the mechanical agitator 460 comprises a textured surface. Most specifically, each roller 462, 464 comprises a textured surface. Some examples of rollers have textured surfaces are shown in figures 8A to 8D and 9A to 9B.
- FIG. 5 shows an apparatus for improving the colourfastness of a dyed textile.
- the apparatus 500 comprises processing line 410 configured to convey dyed textile 420 into a first chamber 530 having a first controllable environment.
- the first chamber 530 is configured to temporarily store the dyed textile for a first time period.
- the apparatus 500 further comprises a second chamber 540 having a second controllable environment.
- the second chamber 540 is configured to temporarily store the dyed textile for a second time period.
- the second chamber 540 is upstream of the first chamber 530. Moreover, the second chamber 540 comprises wheels 542. The second chamber 549 is mobile. Additionally, the second chamber 540 is configured to receive a plurality of discrete dyed textile rolls 380.
- the dyed textile rolls 380 are conveyed from the proximal end 544 of the second chamber 540 to the distal end 546 of the second chamber 530. More specifically, dyed textile rolls 380 are conveyed from the proximal end 544 of the second chamber 540 to the distal end 546 of the second chamber 530 via a conveyor belt 548.
- the internal environment of the fixation chamber 610 is between 100°C and 300°C. More specifically, the internal environment of the fixation chamber 610 is between 140°C and 240°C. However, the temperature may be controlled and/or adjusted, in use.
- the fluid being sprayed is heated above 60°C or, more specifically, to approximately 80°C - 90°C via a heating element 705.
- the heating element 705 is a trace heater.
- the fluid is sprayed at approximately 45 l/min. Furthermore, the fluid is sprayed at a pressure of approximately 0.7 bar.
- the apparatus 700 comprises a pump 710 configured to generate the required fluid flow rate and pressure.
- FIG 8A shows a mechanical agitator in the form of a spiral roller.
- the mechanical agitator 460 comprises a roller 462.
- the roller 462 comprises a textured surface. More specifically, the roller 462 comprises at least one protrusion 466 on its outer surface. Most specifically, the roller 462 comprises two protrusions 466, 467 on its outer surface.
- Each protrusion is helical in shape, thus spiralling around the outer surface of the roller.
- Each helical protrusion comprises four turns around the roller, wherein one turn is defined by one complete 'loop' (i.e. 360 degrees) around the perimeter of the roller. Each turn of the spiral is spaced apart. The gap between each turn is a groove 481.
- a first turn 471 and second turn 472 have been labelled as an example.
- Each helical protrusion extends over substantially half of the roller 462. The two helical spirals meet approximately in the middle of the roller.
- Figure 8B shows a mechanical agitator in the form of a screw roller.
- the screw roller is similar to the spiral roller, but each protrusion 466, 467 has a greater number of turns per unit length of the roller. A greater number of turns results in a greater spiral density around the roller. In fact, the spiral density is so great that each turn of the spiral remains in contact with the adjacent turn. Therefore, the protrusion entirely encloses the roller.
- a first turn 471 and second turn 472 have been labelled as an example.
- Figures 9B shows a section through a mechanical agitator in the form of a geared roller.
- the mechanical agitator 460 comprises a pair of geared rollers 462, 464.
- Each roller 462, 464 is configured to contact the textile 420 being conveying, in use. More specifically, textile is conveyed between the rollers 462, 464.
- Each roller 462, 464 comprises a textured surface. More specifically, each roller comprises a plurality of protrusions 478. Each protrusion may be solid and/or rigid.
- Each roller also comprises a plurality of grooves, wherein each groove 479 is located between two adjacent protrusions 478.
- the resulting roll of dry dyed textile was then conveyed, in a roll-to-roll manner, into the first chamber having a set temperature of 170°C. Moreover, steam was added to the first chamber to create a high humidity environment. The line speed was then set as to allow for an 8 minute dwell time for the textile in the heated steam zone. The treated substrate was then folded loose into an insulated drum and cut to a specific length of 500m. The drum was then heated by an external heat source to 180°C for 1 hour for additional thermal treatment. The resulting product is of an improved colourfastness whilst the hand feel of the textile is not affected.
- the dyestuff deposition method is the same as applied in Example 1.
- the resulting dyed source material was then processed by exposure to a recirculated fluid bath.
- the textile was dipped through the fluid bath and a wet add on of 300% of the textile weight was achieved.
- the wet add on was then reduced to 100 by the use of nip rollers following the bath and mechanical agitation was applied by use of rotating brushes at 5X relative speed to the web line speed, creating agitation within the textile.
- the fluid was then removed by vacuum, yielding a wet add on of 40%, and the fluid was recovered by filtration and recycled within the fluid system.
- the resulting textile was dried to completion by heat application.
