  • the present invention relates to a process for the treatment of textile materials, particularly fibres and filaments.
  • water soluble or water dispersible amphipathic compounds such as are conventionally termed anionic, cationic and non-ionic surface-active agents to assist in the processing of textile fibres and yarns. These agents are valuable in the processing of textile materials because of their ability to lubricate the fibres and to reduce static electrification. It has also been proposed to employ as processing assistant the above mentioned surface active agents in admixture with conventional water-insoluble oily or waxy lubricants such as hydrocarbon oils and waxes, natural and synthetic waxes, glycerides and the like. These mixtures of surface active agents with oily or waxy lubricants have been applied to the textile materials in undiluted form and also as solutions in organic solvents and as aqueous dispersions or emulsions.
  • textile materials made from synthetic polymer fibres having marked hydrophobic properties for example textile materials composed of polyolefines, polyamides, polyesters and polyacrylonitrile, diificulties are sometimes experienced because of failure of the above mentioned processing assistants to spread uniformly over the fibres or yarns.
  • a siloxane oxyalkylene block or graft copolymer wherein D is the fibre denier and d is the fibre density in grams per cubic centimetre, and optionally a minor proportion of conventional water insoluble oil or waxy lubricant, and if desired, other minor amounts of additives.
  • the amounts of siloxane oxyalkylene block copolymers included in the finishing compositions depend on the denier or titre of the fibre, its density, the concentration of dispersion or solution of the finishing composition applied to the fibre and on the amount of finishing composition which, when applied to the fibre gives optimum processing performance and yarn quality during conversion on textile processing equipment.
  • this quantity should be such that when the optimum quantity of finish dispersion has been applied to the fibres from a solution or dispersion and the solvent has been removed by drying, the amount of siloxane oxyalkylene block copolymer deposited on the fibre surface should be between 8X10" g. (2111. and 30 l0 g. cm.- of the surface area of the fibre as calculated, for example, from its titre (denier) and density.

  • the quantity 'y is smaller than that for more polar fibre surfaces, such as wool, cotton and viscose, so that on hydrophobic fibre surfaces it is more diflicult to obtain a film of the textile processing aid.
  • Two dilute aqueous solutions containing between 1% and 5% of the compounds are prepared, one serving as a control and the other containing between 1 and 20% of a siloxane oxyalkylene block or graft copolymer, the percentage being based on the weight of the compound in the dispersion.
  • a small amount (0.005 cc.) of the liquid and control are measured with a micrometer syringe on a horizontally laid film of fibre forming polymer.
  • biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate and stereospecific polypropylene films were used. The water is allowed to evaporate at room temperature and the films are then heated in an oven at C. for 10 minutes. The average diameter or areas of the drops are then measured.
  • Test liquids which are effective as spreading agents cause the diameter of the wetted surface of the film to be at least two times the diameter, or four times the area, of the wetted surface after heating, compared with the control.
  • Another test involving measuring the electrical resistance of a monofilament coated with a solution or dispersion under test is compared with the controls. Because of the non-continuous droplets which are formed by the amphipathic compounds in the absence of an effective siloxane oxyalkylene block copolymer the electrical resistance is higher.
  • the third test is described when a suitable dispersion is applied to fibres which are examined for ease of textile processing and regularity as judged by nep content, frictional properties and static charge generation.
  • Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 illustrate the eiiect of a spreading agent on the amphipathic compound when applied to film.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A 4% aqueous dispersion of an amphipathic compound consisting of solid polyglycol stearate, containing approximately 6 molecules of ethylene oxide per stearate group, was prepared by stirring 20 g. of the polyglycol stearate in 200 ccs. of water heating at 60 C. for half an hour and diluting the dispersion to 500 ccs. From this dispersion, a 2% dispersion called (a) was prepared by adding to 100 ccs. of the 4% dispersion 100 ccs. of an aqueous solution containing 0.8 g. of a spreading aid consisting of a water-soluble siloxane oxyalkylene block copolymer having the approximate structure:
  • dispersions (A) and (B) were measured as droplets suificiently spaced apart, onto a plane surface of a piece of clear polyethylene terephthalate film.
  • the water was allowed to evaporate at room temperature and left a thin circular smear of the solutes of 4 mm. diameter on the film.
  • the film was then placed in an oven at 100 C. for minutes, causing the solute to melt and flow.
  • the smears were examined after cooling; dispersion (B) containing the polyglycol stearate alone was only a 5 mm. diameter circular smear, but that produced from dispersion (A) had spread to an irregular smear of about mm. in diameter, showing that the siloxane-oxyalkylene spreading aid had caused the polyglycol stearate to wet and spread on the polyethylene terephthalate film.
  • EXAMPLE 2 A similar experiment was performed with amphipathic compound polyglycol monolaurate, a liquid non-aqueous processing agent containing approximately 9 polyethylene glycol units for each lauric acid radical. This agent was soluble in water and solutions were prepared containing 2% of the monolaurate called solution (D) alone and 2% of the monolaurate with 20% of its weight of the same spreading aid as used in Example 1, called solution (C). Droplets of volume 0.005 cc. were measured onto a clear polyethylene terephthalate film surface, as in Example 1. As the water evaporated, the radius of the drop from solution (D) containing polyethylene glycol monolaurate alone remained constant and left a smear of 4.0 mm.
  • EXAMPLE 4 0.005 mol. of the liquids (A), (B), (C) and (D) were applied to the surface in separate experiments of single monofils of polyethylene terephthalate having a titre of .1500 denier.
  • Two insulated clips, mounted 7 mm. apart held the fibre, and were connected to a resistance meter capable of measuring up to 10 ohms resistance.
  • the electrical resistance of the fibres with applied liquids (B) and (D) remained greater than 10 ohms during evaporation of the droplets and after heating the monofil to C., indicating that neither the aqueous dispersion or solution, nor the neat agent spread as a continuous sheath along the fibres.
  • EXAMPLE 6 5 litres of a suspension containing 1.5% polyglycol stearate and 0.30% of the spreading aid used in Example 1, were prepared as described in Example 1 (dispersion A), and a second dispersion (B) was prepared containing only the polyglycol stearate.
  • the dispersions were applied to a heat set crimped polyethylene terephthlate tow of overall denier 270,000, and comprising individual fila- "ments of 1.5 denier, by passing the tow continuously between sprays, the rates of spraying and tow speed being controlled in order to give a level of 0.16% of the poly glycol stearate on the tow in each case.
  • the tow was then cut into sections of length 1.5 inches and subjected to a heating operation for 12 minutes at a temperature of 110 C., in order, first to expel the water, and secondly to promote speading of the polyglycol stearate in presence of the spreading aid.
  • Samples of the cut fibre were then carded on a cotton card, drafted and finally spun to yarn, and careful notes of the processing behaviour were made at all stages. These were substantiated by measurements of such physical properties of the fibre assemblies as appear relevant to the processing behavior of the fibres.
  • a 5% aqueous control dispersion (E) of Opal Wax was prepared by emulsifying the wax with the aid of 20% of its weight of a condensation product 17 moles of ethylene oxide in a mixture of cetyl and oleyl alcohols.
  • Dispersion (F) contained in addition to the wax and emulsifying agent 20% of the silicone polyethenoxy compound described in Example 1, this percentage being based on the weight of opal wax in the dispersion.
