Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for treating fibrous materials and textiles and in particular relates to a process for treating fibres and textiles in order to improve the stain resistance thereof.
  • Nylon carpets may be treated with compounds known as stain-blockers and/or fluorocarbons in order to increase their resistance to staining.
  • stain-blockers and/or fluorocarbons are commonly employed treatment method, which fits in with the finishing routes employed on nylon carpets, and subsequently spray fluorocarbon on to the finished carpet.
  • staining liquids often penetrate to the back of the carpet. After initial cleaning the immediately affected area on the top of the carpet pile is cleaned of stain, but the stain in the backing tends to wick up the pile producing staining around the original area.
  • the methods of application used in connection with nylon carpet may not be applicable to home furnishings made of other fibres such as keratinous fibres like wool.
  • Another deficiency with many existing treatments is the limited fastness of the treatment to shampooing and wear.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a process for applying stain blockers and fluorocarbons to keratinous and polyamide fibres.
  • a process for improving the stain resistance of polyamide and keratinous fibres and textiles which comprises treating the fibres or textile in an aqueous dye bath at a long liquor ratio firstly with a fluorocarbon composition and subsequently with a stain blocker.
  • the invention further provides processess for improving the wet-fastness and durability of the stainblocking effect produced.
  • stain blocker does not exhaust completely and residual stain blocker in the bath interferes with the application of the fluorocarbon.
  • stainblocker on the fibre surface is believed to interfere with fluorocarbon application.
  • the process of the invention is particularly beneficial with wool fibres and textiles especially wool home furnishing textiles.
  • the process can be applied at the loose wool, roving, slubbing, yarn, or made up textile article stages.
  • the process is applied in the dye bath immediately subsequent to dyeing or bleaching of the fibres.
  • the stain blockers which can be employed in the process of the invention are those currently available for this purpose, such as those described in European patent applications numbers 0242495 and 0242496.
  • Such compounds are commercially available, inter alia, under the trade names Granofin WG (Hoechst AG), Mesitol NBS (Bayer), Alguard WR (Allied Colloids), Erionall RF (Ciba Geigy); or Scotchguard FX 369 (3M Corporation).
  • commercial compounds sold as synthetic tanning agents have been found to be effective, for example Baykanol HLX (Bayer) and Tanigan OS (Bayer).
  • Typical stain blockers are sulphonated phenol-formaldehyde or naphthol-formaldehyde condensation products.
  • sulphonated is meant that the product contains a -SO3H group or a salt thereof, such as an alkali metal salt.
  • the fluorocarbons useful in the process of the invention can be selected from those commonly used for textile treatments with the caveat that they should have good soil repellent characteristics and be compatible with subsequent application conditions so, for example, that they will not become de-exhausted under low pH conditions.
  • Typical fluorocarbons useful in the invention comprise acrylate or urethane backbone chains with pendant fluorinated alkyl groups.
  • Suitable fluorocarbons are available commercially under the trade names Teflon TC (DuPont), Scotchguard FC 397 (3M), Scotchguard FG 396 (3M) and Scotchguard FX 3602 (3M).
  • the process is advantageously carried out under acidic conditions, typically between pH 2 and 5, especially about pH 3, and the pH can be adjusted with sulphamic acid.
  • the temperature is preferably elevated and can be in the region of 30 to 100 degrees Celsius, especially 50 to 80 degress.
  • the process is an exhaustion process from long liquor ratios and liquor to goods ratios of 1:10 to 1:100 can be employed, typically a ratio of 1:30.
  • auxiliaries can be added to the dye bath to promote exhaustion and/or distribution of the stain blocker. In general any effect seen was only marginal. However two particular auxiliaries, Baylan NT (Bayer) and Lanasan LT (Sandoz), used for the low temperature dyeing of wool, gave very significant improvements to the process.
  • carpets are often steamed in a normal finishing route.
  • atmospheric steaming of carpets treated in accordance with the process of the invention materially improved the stain blocking effect.
  • a particularly preferred carpet processing route is as follows: Start at 20 o C at long liquor ratio 1:20 to 1:60 Add 2% fluorochemical at pH 3 (sulphamic acid) Raise to 50 o C at 1 deg C/min. Run at 50 o C for 30 min Add 8% Stainblocker 2% Auxiliary Readjust to pH 3-3.5 (sulphamic acid) Raise to 65 o C at 1 deg C/min. Run at 65 o C for 30 min Drop bath. Hydroextract and dry.
  • the above processing sequence is carried out in one bath, preferably in the dye bath subsequent to the dyeing operation.
  • the following fixing treatment can be employed as a pre- or post-treatment.
  • a pre-treatment Start at 20 o C at liquor ratio to 1:60 Add fixing chemical (low smoke Zirpro formulation (containing zirconium acetate) or Al2(SO4)3) 16H2O. Raise to 70 o C at 1 deg C/min. Run 30 minutes, and continue with the preferred processing route described above.
  • post-treatment after running at 65 o C for 30 minutes, add the fixing chemical. Run 15 minutes, then drop bath and rinse in cold water. Hydroextract and dry. After manufacture the carpet pile should preferably be steamed at atmospheric conditions for 2 minutes.
  • carpet is of a tufted or cut pile construction it may be preferable to over spray the finished carpet with further fluorocarbon or stain blocker/fluorocarbon mixture to seal the cut ends and increase resistance to staining the improve durability of the stain resist treatment.
  • further fluorocarbon or stain blocker/fluorocarbon mixture to seal the cut ends and increase resistance to staining the improve durability of the stain resist treatment.
  • the setting is sufficient to allow piece dyeing without significant loss of tuft definition. Since the process of the invention is applied after dyeing, the cut ends are treated in the exhaust bath obviating the need to over spray the carpet.
  • Fabric specimens are abraded against standard abrasive fabric using a Martindale Abrasion Tester for 500 rubs. The specimens were then stained.
  • Detergent solution (10 ml/l of anionic detergent, pH 7.5 at 40 o C) was applied under pressure and removed by vacuum using a spray extraction machine. This cleansing procedure was carried out five times. The dried specimens were then stained.
  • Fabric specimens were individually agitated in a staining solution (0.8 g/l FD + C Red 40, 0.4 g/l citric acid, 0.1 g/l non-ionic wetting agent) at liquor to goods ratio of 20:1 for 5 min at 20 o C. Excess solution was gently shaken off. Specimens were left to lie uncovered on a polyethylene sheet for 24 hours at ambient temperature, rinsed in cold water until no further stain was removed, hydro-extracted and dried for 30min at 60-70 o C.
  • a staining solution 0.8 g/l FD + C Red 40, 0.4 g/l citric acid, 0.1 g/l non-ionic wetting agent
  • FC fluorocarbon (Scotchguard FC 397)
  • SB stain blocker (Mesitol NBS) Stainblocker Treatments on Nylon 6 and 66 Example Treatment ⁇ E(24 hour) nylon 6 nylon 66 Untreated 52.7 43.3 7 5% Mesitol NBS 3.9 3.3 8 5% Mesitol NBS, 2% Baylan NT 3.3 2.8 9 2% FC 397, 5% Mesitol NBS 4.8 4.5 10 2% FC 397, 5% Mesitol NBS, 2% Baylan NT 3.8 4.5
  • Figure 1 shows a durability trial using a hexapod carpet wear testing mechanism.
  • the carpet samples were all stained with a solution of a food dye, Amaranth, 0.08 g/l by introducing 10ml of the dye solution onto the carpet surface using a standard stain applicator which evenly applies the dye solution over an 80 mm diameter circular area. This was left to dry for 24 h and removal of the stain was attempted using a commercial hot water extraction carpet shampooer with appropriate detergent. The carpet was then dried and the amount of residual stain remaining was measured by a Minolta Chroma-meter CR110 with the results calculated as colour difference ( ⁇ E) with respect to the unstained carpet.
  • ⁇ E colour difference
  • Figure 2 shows results of staining carried out after various numbers of shampooing cycles.
  • Baykanol HLX treated samples showed some loss of stain-resistance after shampooing; with Baylan NT as an auxiliary and an aluminium sulphate aftertreatment there is virtually no loss in stain-resistance after shampooing.
