Description
~403~7 This invention relates to a method for treating a tex-tile fabric product with a resin and more particularly to a method in which an aqueous solution of an initial condensation product of a resin treatment material is applied to a cellulo.se fiber cloth material or to a union cloth material or a blended yarn mixed woven or ~nit cloth material obtained from cellulose fibers and polyester fibers and, without preliminary heating, the resin is fixed to the cloth material by means of a high pressure steamer which is operated with steam of at least 85%
humidity.
In the conventional method for treating a textile fabric material with a resin, a suitable amount of an aqueous solution of a resin material is applied to the textile fabric material or a cloth material and then a preliminary drying is carried out before resinification is effec-ted by a heat treat-ment which is carried out with dry heat. me resin material penetrates into the micelle gaps of cellulose or amorphous parts of the cloth material together with water. ~len, as the preliminary drying process is being carried out, the water content evaporates before the resin material which has thus penetrated in the micelle gaps or the amorphous parts is resinified. merefore, the fiber cells which have been expanded by means of adsorbed water are brought back to their original state and thus the resin material is resinified in a dehydrated state. The clo~h material thus treated, therefore, starts to lose the flexibility characteristic of a textile product and thus becomes brittle and, particularly, its abrasion resistance and tearing strength are inevitably lowered. Furthermore, the dehydrating action caused by such preliminary heating has re-sulted in brittleness and yellowing of the cellulose. ~hepresent invention is directed to a solution of such problems . ., -1- -' 3~'7 involved with the conventional method. The present in~erltion is based on the findir1g that SIICII problems can be elimil1ated by subjecting a cloth material to which an aqueous so1ution o~
a resin material has been applied to a hygro-thermic treatment ~hich is carried out without preliminary drying.
It is a general object of this invention to provide a method for treating a te~tile fabric product, or a cloth material, with a resin, wherein an aqueous solution of an initial condensation product of a resin treatment material is applied to a cloth material composed of cellulose fibers or cel-lulose fibers and polyester fibers, then, the cloth material is subjected to a hygro-thermic treatment which is carried out for one to two minutes using a high pressure steamer which is ar-ranged to keep therein steam of at least 85% humidity preferably at a temperature between ll0 and 160C, preferably between 120 and 140C. In accordance with the invention, therefore, resinification of the resin treatment material proceeds while in the presence of water therein until it i9 fixed to the fibers of the cloth material in order to retain nervy softness without losing the feeling which is characteristic of textile fabric materials. Furthermore, the resin fixing rate which can be at-tained in accordance with the method of the invention is almost equal to the rate which càn be attained by the conventional dry heat fixing method. ~he method according to the invention of fixing resin through a hygro-thermic process without drying has the following advantages:
a) the degradation of strength of cellulose fibers ; which has been inevitable with the conventional rnethod never takes place, b) the abrasion resistance of the treated cloth mate-rial is improved to a degree 20 to 30% over the conventional method, c) the white back~round of a cloth material is never yellowed, and d) there does not take place any discoloration when a dyed cloth material is treated.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following de tailed description of an embodiment thereof.
A sheet of a broad cloth material of 110 g/m2, com-prising 65% of polyester and 35% of cotton, is scoured and bleached through normal processes and then the polyester is sub-jected to a 17% alkali weight reducing process which is car-ried out by means of a high pressure steamer. The cloth mate-rial is immersed in an aqueous solution of a resin (a product of MIKI RIKEN KOGYO K.K.) comprising:
10% by weight of RIKEN RESI~ MA-31 tmodified melamine resin having 80% effective component), 5% by weight of RIKEN Sol (vinyl aceta-te having ~5%
solid component), 3% by weight of RIKEN Fixer (catalyst).
Then, the cloth material thus impregnated with the aqueous solution of xesin, is passed through a mangle and is wrung to a wringing degree of 70%. Immediately after that, without drying, the cloth rnaterial is subjected to a steaming process to have the resin fixed to the cloth material by means of high pressure saturated steam.
Meanwhile, another sheet of the cloth material is processed to have the resin fixed thereto through the conven-tional dry fixing method.
Both sheets of cloth material thus processed are sub-jected to a soaping process which is carried out with an aqueous solution containing 0.3% of Monogen and 0.2% of soda ash (ar-.. . . ~, . -3V~
ranged to be in a bath ratio 1 : 30) for 10 minutes at 80C.
~len, they are washed with water and dried. The resin fixing rate, bending resistance and discolorat;on of both sheets are compared. The comparative results are as shown in the following table:
Test 1: Preliminary drying is carried out at 100C.
Then, dry heat baking is carried out for 3 min.
Test 2: No preliminary drying.
Steaming with saturated steam at 110C for 2 min.

Steaming with saturated steam at 130C for 2 min.
Test 5: No preliminary drying.
Steaming with saturated steam at 140C for 2 min.
Test 6: No preliminary drying.

As for the bending resistance, the value obtained in Test 1 is 70 mm while the values obtained in Tests 4 and 5 are 81 and 82 mm.
This indicates that the cloth material treated in accordance with the method according to this invention gives a feeling of nervy softness and, accordingly, has a greater tearing strength.
Furthermore, tests are conducted by varying the length of time for carrying out the steaming process and the results of the tests are compared as shown below:

~ he results of these tests thus indicate that it is preferable to carry out a resin treatment over a cloth material by subjecting it to a steaming process with saturated steam at a temperature between 130 and 140C under high pressure humid heat for a length of time between one and two minutes.
