Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of treatin materials composed wholly or partly of wool or of other animal fibres which are capable of being felted, in order to reduce the tendency of such materials to felt or shrink when washed in aqueous liquors and particularly when also subjected to mechanical movements. It further relates to a process of this kind, in which at the same time a bleaching eifect is obtained.
- the method according to the invention is applicable to wool (which term is used in the specification to include not only sheeps Wool but also any other animal fibres which are capable of being felted in the form of loose fibres, slubbing, tops, roving, yarn, knitted or woven fabric or garments or in any other form).
- the wool material may be treated in the oily state, or may be scoured to remove the oil prior to the treatment.
- wool may be rendered partially resistant to felting by treating with peroxides or peroxyhydrate bodies in alkaline solution, but this treatment leads to an undesirable degree of degradation of the wool if an attempt is made to obtain a high degree of shrink-proofing.
- the object of the invention is to provide a treatment which can be controlled to give virtually any desired degree of shrink-proofing while causing minimum damage to the Wool and giving a product having a good handle.
- a further object is to provide a treatment which gives a product having improved levelness of dyeing when dyed with the so-called colloidal or milling types of dye.
- a further object is to provide a treatment by means of which good or enhanced whiteness of the goods, i. e. a bleaching effect, may be obtained simultaneously with the shrink-proofing.
- materials composed wholly or partly of wool are impregnated with compounds of copper, nickel,
- the degree of resistance to felting obtained depends on the following inter-related factors:
- the metals used owe their activating effect to the fact that they can exist in different states of valency, but we do not restrict our to this explanation.
- the amounts of the metal compounds required are very small. the minimum amounts of metals expressed as a percentage of the weight of wool being 0.001% for copper or nickel, 0.03% for silver and 0.05% for mercury. As a rule it is preferred to use amounts between 0.002% and 0.15% and the maximum amounts which may be used without causing damage or discolouration of the wool are 0.15% in the case of copper and 0.75% in the cases of silver, mercury and nickel. It is preferred to apply the metal compounds at a temperature of not less than 50 C.
- the materials may be placed in a solution of the metal compound and the temperature raised to the desired value and maintained at such value until the bath is substantially exhausted which may take about five or ten minutes.
- the levelness of the treatment may be further improved by pretreatment of the wool with a dilute solution of acetic acid.
- the preferred metal compound is a compound of nickel; some degree of decomposition of cellulosic materials is produced when peroxy-bodies react with such materials which contain copper.
- Suitable peroxy-b'odies include peroxides of hydrogen, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, perborates of alkali metals and percarbonates of alkali metals.
- the consumption is small and a standing bath may be kept to which additions may be made of peroxy-bodies to restore the original concentration and of other reagents to restore the original pH value.
- the concentration of peroxy-bodies may be varied, but should not be so high as to cause degradation of the wool when applied for the desired time at the desired temperature.
- a higherv concentration may be used where it is desired to carry out the treatment in a shorter time or at a lower temperature.
- hydrogen peroxide it is in most cases possible to obtain good results by treatment for about 1 hour at 50-60 C. in a hydrogen peroxide solution of not more than six volumes and preferably about two volumes.
- a shorter time of treatment it would be possible to use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, but it is believed that there would be no advantage in using a solution of more than about 20 volumes, especially in view of the greater cost of the more concentrated solutions.
- Corresponding concentration of other peroxy-bodies may be used. The minimum concentration which is practically useful would be equivalent to about 0.25 volume hydrogen peroxide, as any lower concentration would result in inconveniently long treatment times.
- the pH of the solution of the peroxy-bodies may be varied over a wide range.
- the shrinkproofing effect is very small when the pH is less than about 3, but increases as the pH is increased above this value, although not in a linear manner.
- the pH value should not be appreciably greater than 10.5 especially if high temperatures are used. Where pH values lower than 10.5 are used, the treatment time required at a given temperature may be longer, although the relation is not linear, but the time required may be reduced by raising the temperature, as in general, with a given pH value, shorter times will be required when the temperature is higher.
- the process according to the invention is not primarily a bleaching process, but in general it can be carried out without detrimentally affecting the whiteness of the goods, or with no more discolouration than can be removed by a subsequent clearing treatment.
- a certain amount of bleaching can, however, be obtained by selecting suitable operating conditions, and where enhanced whiteness of the goods, i. e. a bleaching effect, is desirable in addition to the shrinkproofing, the peroxy-body treatment should be carried out under alkaline conditions, i. e. at a pH of not less than 7.0 and not appreciably greater than 10.5, using a compound of either copper or nickel in the preceding impregnation.
- the process may be carried out by immersing the goods in a bath of metal compound and subsequently immersing them in a bath of peroxy-body which has been brought to the desired pH value or by treatment in a machine in which the goods are held in a vessel and liquors are passed through by means of a pump or other device. Garments, socks, etc. may be treated in a paddle or rotary machine.
- the process may also be carried out by the padding technique.
- Example 1 100 parts of an all wool knitted underwear fabric in the secured state are treated in 3,000 parts of water containing 0.01 part of copper sulphate crystals. The temperature of the liquor containing the fabric is raised to C. and maintained at this temperature for about 10 minutes. The fabric is lifted and the liquor cooled to 50 C. when 60 parts by volume of volume hydrogen peroxide and 56 parts of sodium silicate Sp. Gr. 1.4 are added, giving a 2 volume hydrogen peroxide solution at pH 10.5. The fabric is entered and treated for 60 minutes at 50 C. About of the peroxide is used up. To improve the whiteness, the fabric is placed for 15 minutes in 3,000 parts of water containing:
- the wool may be pretreated for 10 to 15 minutes, before immersion in the copper sulphate solution, in 3,000 parts of Water at 35 C., containing 3.3 parts of 30% acetic acid.
- the wool may be transferred from this solution to the copper sulphate solution, or an appropriate amount of copper sulphate may be added to the acetic acid solution at the end of the pretreatment.
- Example 2 100 parts of scoured 14/3 botany yarn are treated in 1,000 parts of water containing 0.25 part of copper sulphate crystals. The temperature of the liquor is raised to 50 C. while circulating through the yarn which is treated in a pressure dyeing machine. This temperature is maintained for about 10 minutes when 20 parts by volume of 100 volume hydrogen peroxide and 18 parts of sodium silicate Sp. Gr. 1.4 are added, giving a 2 volume hydrogen peroxide solution at pH 10.5. The liquor is circulated for 1 hour at 40 C. Approximately half the hydrogen peroxide is used up in the treatment.
- a bisulphite treatment in a bath consisting of 1,000 parts of water, 2.5 parts of sodium bisulphite and 3 parts sulphuric acid is given at 30 C. for 15 minutes.
- the resistance to shrinkage of this yarn after knitting when tested by severe hand washing and compared with the resistance to shrinkage of pieces knitted from the original yarn and from yarn treated in peroxide but without a previous metal treatment, gives the following results:
- 100 parts of an all wool knitted underwear fabric in the scoured state are treated in 3,000 parts of water containing 0.02 part of nickel sulpham.
- the temperature of the liquor containing the fabric is raised to 75 C. and maintained at this temperature for about 5 minutes.
- the fabric is transferred into 3,000 parts of water containing '75 parts of sodium perborate, this solution being at pH 10.1 at a temperature of 50 C.
- the temperature of the liquor containing the fabric is maintained at 50 C. for 1 hour. About half the available oxygen is used up and the pH is reduced to 9.9.
- a bisulphite treatment is given as in Example 1.
- the reduction in area after severe hand Washing is 13.8% compared with 26.0% for the original fabric.
- Example 4 100 parts of all wool knitted underwear fabric in the scoured state are treated in 3,000 parts of water containing 0.08 part of copper acetate.
- the metal salt is applied to the material as in Example 1 and the fabric is then transferred to a solution containing 60 parts by volume of 100 volume hydrogen peroxide and 15 parts of trisodium phosphate in 3,000 parts of water, giving a 2 volume H202 solution at a pH 10.3.
- the fabric is treated for 60 minutes at 50 C. when about half the peroxide is used up.
- a bisulphite treatment is given as in Example 1.
- the area shrinkage after severe hand washing is 7.2%, compared with 18.7% for a treatment with the alkaline peroxide and 26.4% for the original material.
- Example 5 100 parts of an all wool knitted underwear fabric in the scoured state are treated in 3,000
- Example 1 parts of water containing 0.02 part of copper sulphate crystals.
- the metal salt is deposited on the fabric'as in Example 1.
- a further solution is prepared comprising 3,000 parts of water and 105 parts of sodium percarbonate, giving a pH value of 10.3.
- the fabric is transferred to this liquor and treated in it for 1 hour at 30 C.
- a bisulphite treatment is given as in Example 1.
- the shrinkage resistance is considerably improved, giving 13.3% area shrinkage on severe hand washing compared with 26.0% in the original material.
- Example 6 100 parts of scoured 14/3 botany yarn are treated in 3,000 parts of water containing 0.02 part of copper sulphate crystals. The metal salt is applied to the material as in Example 1.
