Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a process for scouring and bleaching textile materials. More particularly, by combining an alkyl polyglycoside with an alkoxylated primary linear alcohol, a synergistic scouring and bleaching effect is realized.
- the invention also relates to a process for
- Textile materials are among the most ubiquitous in society. They provide shelter and protection from the environment in the form of apparel, and comfort and decoration in the form of household textiles, such as sheets, upholstery, carpeting, drapery and wall covering, and they have a variety of industrial functions, such as tire reinforcement, tenting, filter media, conveyor belts, insulation, etc. O 96/15305 PCIYUS95/13998
- alkyl polyglycoside surfactants exhibit significantly higher foaming profiles than other nonionic surfactants such as alcohol ethoxylates.
- foaming tendencies of alkyl polylgycosides more closely resemble those of anionic surfactants such as alcohol sulfates than the foaming tendencies of other nonionic surfactants.
- the higher foaming tendency of alkyl polyglycosides makes their use in certain types of applications disadvantageous. For example, public transportation vehicles are normally cleaned by spray washing with aqueous cleaning compositions applied from high pressure nozzles. Since such high pressure applications can produce significant amounts of foam, the 2
- Textile materials are produced from fibers (finite lengths) and filaments (continuous lengths) by a variety of processes to form woven, knitted and
- nonwoven fabrics In the case of woven and knitted fabrics, the fibers and filaments are formed into intermediate continuous-length structures known as yams, which are interlaced by weaving or interlooped by knitting into planar- flexible sheetlike structures known as fabrics.
- Nonwoven fabrics are formed directly from fibers and filaments by chemically or physically bonding or interlocking fibers that have been arranged in a planar configuration.
- Textile fibers are classified into two main categories, man-made and natural.
- Man-made fibers are formed by extrusion processes known as melt- dry, or wet spinning.
- the spinning or extrusion of filaments is normally followed by an operation known as drawing.
- drawing In this step, the newly formed filaments are irreversibly extended and stabilized by setting or crystallization processes.

- the alkoxylated primary linear alcohols of the present invention are the condensation products of organic C 8 -C 15 alcohols with from about 6 to about 7 moles of ethylene oxide and from about 3 to about 6 moles of propylene oxide, per mole of alcohol. These alkoxylated alcohols preferably have an HLB value of from about 7.0 to about 8.5.
- An example of a commercially available alkoxylated alcohol of this type is TRYLON® 6735, marketed by Henkel Corporation, Textiles Division, Charlotte, NC.
- the amount of alkyl polyglycoside and alkoxylated synthetic alcohol to be used should be sufficient to effectively wet, i.e., impregnate and bleach the textile substrate and thus scour the substrate and improve the bleaching properties of the bath.
- the types of substrates which will be treated with the bleaching composition will vary, but will include articles of apparel made of cotton and polyester/cotton woven and knit goods.
- the composition to be added to the aqueous peroxide bleaching bath contains from about 20 to 60% by weight of the alkyl polyglycoside and from about 80 to 40% by weight of the synthetic alkoxylated linear alcohol.
- the amount of the scouring and bleaching surfactant composition to be added to the bath is typically in the range from 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, based on the weight of the bath, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 0.2% by weight.
- the continuous scouring and bleaching process for cotton and polyester/cotton woven goods is carried out in two separate steps, and in either rope or open-width form using an exhaust bath.
- the pH of the alkaline aqueous impregnation (exhaust) bath is most preferably between about 11 and 12.0 and the temperature of the bath is preferably between about 120 and 200°F, and most preferably about 160°F.
- the desized fabric is immersed in the alkaline scour bath and squeezed, by pad rolls, to a wet pickup of from about 90 to 110% owg (i.e. on the weight of the goods).
- the treated fabric is then placed in a steam chamber for about 15 minutes (to simulate the open-width process) or about 60 minutes (to simulate the rope process).
- the steamed fabric is then washed in water at a temperature from about 180 to 200°F, for about 60 to 90 seconds.
- the pH of the alkaline aqueous bleaching exhaust bath is preferably between about 10.8 and about 11.2, and most preferably about 11.0.
- the temperature of the aqueous bath is preferably between about 75 to about 120°F , and most preferably about 100°F.
- the scoured fabric is then impregnated with the aqueous alkaline bleaching bath in the same manner as in the scouring process above.
- the treated fabric is then steamed in the same manner as disclosed above for the scouring process.
- the steamed fabric is then washed in water at a temperature of about 180 to 200°F, for approximately 60 to 90 seconds, followed by a cold rinse in water containing acetic acid to neutralize any residual alkali that may be present.
- the washed fabric is then dried at about 250 °F.
- the continuous scouring and bleaching process for cotton and polyester/cotton knit goods may also be performed per the one-bath under liquor method.
- the pH of the bath is preferably between about 10.8 and 11.2 , and most preferably about 11.0.
- the temperature of the aqueous bath is preferably between about 180 and about 200 °F, and most preferably about 185°F with the dwell time being about 30 to 45 minutes. This step is followed by washing at about 160 to 185°F for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. It should be noted, however, that the pH and temperature ranges are dependent on a number of variables including the type of substrate being treated.
- a padding operation i.e., using a padding bath, whereby the bath is padded or blotted onto the substrate.
- This operation is very similar to that of the continuous dyeing operation since the substrate is mechanically carried into and out of the padding apparatus.
- the aqueous scouring and/or bleaching bath will have a pH in the range of about 11.0 to 12.0, and preferably in the range of about 10.8 to 11.2. It should be noted, however, that either the exhaust bath or padding bath may be employed to scour and/or bleach the fabric when using the scouring and bleaching surfactant composition in the present invention.
