Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new process for bleaching jeans fabrics.
  • the denim fabric (twill, canvas, etc.), or Denim, intended inter alia for making clothes of the same name, is a fabric mainly made of cotton, possibly mixed with synthetic fibers such as polyester, including the weft threads are bleached and the warp threads generally dyed with indigo, or more rarely with other dyes, such as indanthrene dyes, direct dyes (substantives) or reactive dyes.
  • the known aging processes are not without drawbacks: embrittlement of the cellulose, rejection of chlorinated derivatives, high chemical oxygen demand (COD) of waste water, odor pollution, alteration of the metallic parts of the garment, in particular rivets and buttons.
  • the Applicant has surprisingly discovered a new process for bleaching denim fabric, with little or no reduction in the resistance of the fiber, producing odorless aqueous discharges, free of chlorinated products and having a low COD, easy to carry out industrially, economical, not altering the appearance of the metallic parts of the garment, and making it possible to obtain in a reliable and reproducible manner, a range of varied aspects both in the intensity of the discoloration and in the shade of the color and the speckled or melted character of the dye.
  • the object of the present invention is a method partial or total discoloration of jean fabrics, either as is or made up of the desired commercial item, making it possible to obtain a range of varied aspects, carried out in an aqueous medium, at room temperature, in the presence of a water-soluble salt of permanganic acid, characterized in that, depending on the desired appearance, it is produced at a pH either between 3.5 and 6.5, or between 7.5 and 9, and in the presence of one or more surfactants, either anionic, cationic or amphoteric, optionally in admixture with one or more nonionic surfactants, then the fabrics, after optionally one or more washes with water, are subjected to treatment with an aqueous solution of a reducing agent, designated below R.
  • a reducing agent designated below R.
  • water-soluble salt of permanganic acid hereinafter designated P
  • P water-soluble salt of permanganic acid
  • MnO4Na sodium permanganate
  • MnO4K potassium permanganate
  • MnO4NH4 ammonium permanganate
  • P is potassium permanganate.
  • anionic surfactants are meant those notably cited in the work: “Anionic surfactant", volume 1, -Surfactant Science Series - Warner M. LINFIELD, Marcel Dekker Inc., New-York, 1976 "as for example, a C10-C10 alkanesulfonic acid salt, a sulfonated petroleum with a molecular weight of less than 300, a C10 alkylarylsulfonic acid salt and more, a fatty acid salt.
  • amphoteric surfactants are meant those especially described in Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Wiley Interscience 3rd edition, Vol. 22, page 384 et seq.
  • cationic surfactants is meant quaternary ammoniums having one or more C12-C18 alkyl groups such as (C12-C18) dimethylbenzylammonium alkyl chlorides.
  • nonionic surfactants those cited in particular in the work “Non-ionic surfactant, volume 1, - Surfactant Science Series - Martin J. SCHICK, Marcel Dekker Inc., New-York, 1967 ", such as a fatty acid ester, an esterified polyol or a condensation product of 8 to 10 moles ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or mixtures thereof with either a C9 alkanol or more, or a C8 alkylphenol or more, or a fatty acid, or a C10 alkylamine and more.
  • reducing agent an agent capable of annihilating the oxidizing power of the salt of permanganic acid used, such as for example hydrogen peroxide, an acid or a mixture of organic or mineral acids, optionally salified by an alkali metal such as oxalic acid, sulfurous acid, dithionic acid.
  • the reducing agent is oxalic acid, sodium metabisulfite or hydrogen peroxide.
  • alkali metal sodium or potassium
  • the desired appearance is obtained by the combinations, on the one hand of the pH value of the treatment bath, by the cationic, anionic, amphoteric nature of the surfactant (s) used, and on the other hand by the nature of the agent reducing agent and the amount of P.
  • the amount of P conditions the intensity of the discoloration, the character of the surfactant (s) influences the melted or speckled appearance, also denoted by l 'skilled in the art by "sharpness", as well as on the more or less gray shade, knowing that when a cationic surfactant is used, one tends towards navy blue and that the sharpness is also improved, that the use of an anionic surfactant does not modify the sharpness but leads the shade to a turquoise blue, and that the use of a nonionic surfactant retains the original shade of the fabric, and therefore it can be used as a mixture with one or more surfactants of either anionic, cationic or amphoteric character, without altering their behavior on the appearance of the fabric.
  • amphoteric surfactants their actions on the appearance of the tissue is a function of the pH of the medium in which they are used; at an acidic pH they have an effect substantially identical to the cationic surfactants and, in an alkaline medium, they have an effect substantially identical to the anionic surfactants.
  • the amount of cationic, anionic or amphoteric surfactant (s) used is less than or equal to 5% by weight relative to the weight of the fabric used.
  • the acidic or basic character of the bath mainly conditions the contrast between warp and weft thread: an acid pH gives more relief to the fabric and a basic pH leads to a fabric with a flatter appearance.
  • R the nature of the reducing agent, R, has no influence on the shade of the shade of the fabric, unless R is hydrogen peroxide, in which case the reducing treatment gives more radiance to the tint.
  • up to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the tissue, of one or more anionic and / or nonionic surfactants can be introduced into the bath containing the reducing agent.
  • fabrics which have undergone sandblasting can be used. You can also perform the process of the invention in the presence of pumice stones in order to reinforce the wear effect of the fabric.
  • the implementation of the present invention provides the skilled person with many advantages: the metal parts of the clothing thus treated come out of the treatment shiny and shiny, they do not need to be varnished, the loss of resistance of the fabric is low, energy consumption is reduced compared to usual bleaching methods, and above all it makes it possible to easily obtain the desired final appearance even on denim fabrics containing synthetic fibers.
  • the invention also relates to the fabrics obtained by the process of the invention.
  • the fabrics or articles made with denim fabrics discolored by the process of the invention can be, after treatment with the reducing bath, either wrung and dried according to processes known per se, or used in the wet state below finishing treatments: softening, soaping, brightening, without their appearance obtained by the process of the invention being modified.
  • the present invention finally relates to a method of making a garment or denim article, characterized in that a fabric produced by the method as defined above is used as fabric.
  • Example 4 is repeated, but 8 minutes after the end of the introduction into the aqueous potassium permanganate solution, 0.7% by weight, based on the weight of the fabric, of sodium paraffin sulfonates is introduced into the bath.
  • C13-C17 whose sulfo groups are attached to secondary carbon atoms and the treatment is continued as in Example 4.
  • Example 4 it can be seen that the addition to the bath of anionic surfactants during the treatment with potassium permanganate did not modify either the relief or the sharpness of the tissue but only the shade.
  • Example 4 is reproduced in the presence of 0.5% by weight relative to the weight of the tissue, of a nonionic surfactant (nonylphenol ethoxylated with 8 moles of ethylene oxide).
  • a fabric is obtained having the same appearance as that obtained in Example 4, which shows that the addition of a nonionic surfactant to the cationic surfactant has no influence on the appearance of the tissue.
  • Example 9 is repeated in the presence of 0.5% by weight relative to the weight of the nonylphenol tissue ethoxylated with 8 moles of ethylene oxide. At the end of the treatment, a fabric is obtained which has the same appearance as that obtained in Example 9, which shows that the addition of a nonionic surfactant to the anionic surfactant has no influence on the appearance fabric.
