Definitions
- the present invention relates to textile mill applications of certain cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials which impart appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles during laundering and in-wear.
- the applications can be stand alone or incorporated into traditional textile mill processes such as dyeing and finishing.
- Cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials which are suitable for textile mill applications and provide the desired fabric appearance and integrity benefits can be characterized by the following general formula:
- each R is selected from the group consisting of R 2 , R C , and
- each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H and C 1 -C 4 alkyl
- each R C is
- each Z is independently selected from the group consisting of M, R 2 , R C , and R H ;
- each R H is independently selected from the group consisting of C5-C 20 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryl, C 7 -C 20 arylalkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, C 1 -C 20 alkoxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryloxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R 4 ) 2 N-alkyl, (R 4 ) 2 N-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R 4 ) 3 N-alkyl, (R 4 ) 3 N-2-hydroxyalkyl, C 6 -C 12 aryloxy-2-hydroxyalkyl,
- each R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryl, C 7 -C 20 arylalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, piperidinoalkyl, morpholinoalkyl, cycloalkylaminoalkyl and hydroxyalkyl;

- M is a suitable cation selected from the group consisting of Na, K, 1 ⁇ 2Ca, and 1 ⁇ 2Mg;
- each x is from 0 to about 5;
- each y is from about 1 to about 5;
- the Degree of Substitution for group R H is between about 0.0001 and 0.1, more preferably between about 0.0005 and 0.05, and most preferably between about 0.0008 and 0.01;
- the Degree of Substitution for group R C wherein Z is H or M is between about 0.2 and 2.0, more preferably between about 0.3 and 1.0, and most preferably between about 0.4 and 0.7;
- two R 4 's on the same nitrogen can together form a ring structure selected from the group consisting of piperidine and morpholine.
- the cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials defined above can be used as an additive in dyeing, dyeing aftertreatments, softener finishing, hand building finishing, durable press finishing, antibacterial finishing, soil release finishing, and even mechanical finishings, etc.
- the materials can be applied onto yarns/fabrics/textiles/garments via pad-dry processes or exhaustion methods
- the amount of the cellulosic based fabric treatment materials of the present invention needed in the textile mill applications to provide the best fabric appearance benefits depends on many factors such as yarn/fabric constructions, types of textile processes and types of textile equipment. Based on weight of fabrics, from about 0.005% to 10% of the cellulosic based materials is needed to impart fabrics with the best fabric appearance and integrity. The preferred amount is from about 0.01% to 3% based on weight of fabrics treated with the cellulosic based materials. Such benefits can include improved overall appearance, pill/fuzz reduction, antifading, improved abrasion resistance, and/or enhanced softness.
- FIG. 1 is an example of the pad-dry treatment process.
- FIG. 2 is an example of the exhaustion treatment method.
- the essential component of the compositions of the present invention comprises one or more cellulosic based polymer or oligomer.
- Such materials have been found to impart a number of appearance benefits to fabrics and textiles after applied onto fabrics during textile mill applications.
- Such fabric appearance benefits can include, for example, improved overall appearance of the laundered fabrics, reduction of the formation of pills and fuzz, protection against color fading, improved abrasion resistance, etc.
- the cellulosic based fabric treatment materials used in the compositions and methods herein can provide such fabric appearance benefits with acceptably little or no loss in other preferred textile properties such as fabric feel/hand, draping, softness, smoothness, etc.
- an oligomer is a molecule consisting of only a few monomer units while polymers comprise considerably more monomer units.
- oligomers are defined as molecules having an average molecular weight below about 1,000 and polymers are molecules having an average molecular weight of greater than about 1,000.
- One suitable type of cellulosic based polymer or oligomer fabric treatment material for use herein has an average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 2,000,000, preferably from about 50,000 to about 1,000,000.
- each R is selected from the group consisting of R 2 , R C , and
- each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H and C 1 -C 4 alkyl
- each R C is
- each Z is independently selected from the group consisting of M, R 2 , R C , and R H ;
- each R H is independently selected from the group consisting of C 5 -C 20 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryl, C 7 -C 20 arylalkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, C 1 -C 20 alkoxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryloxy-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R 4 ) 2 N-alkyl, (R 4 ) 2 N-2-hydroxyalkyl, (R 4 ) 3 N-alkyl, (R 4 ) 3 N-2-hydroxyalkyl, C 6 -C 12 aryloxy-2-hydroxyalkyl,
- each R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryl, C 7 -C 20 arylalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, piperidinoalkyl, morpholinoalkyl, cycloalkylaminoalkyl and hydroxyalkyl;
- each R 5 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 20 alkyl, C 5 -C 7 cycloalkyl, C 7 -C 20 alkylaryl, C 7 -C 20 arylalkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, (R 4 ) 2 N-alkyl, and (R 4 ) 3 N-alkyl;
- M is a suitable cation selected from the group consisting of Na, K, 1 ⁇ 2Ca, and 1 ⁇ 2Mg;
- each x is from 0 to about 5;
- each y is from about 1 to about 5;
- the Degree of Substitution for group R H is between about 0.0001 and 0.1, more preferably between about 0.0005 and 0.05, and most preferably between about 0.0008 and 0.01;
- the Degree of Substitution for group R C wherein Z is H or M is between about 0.2 and 2.0, more preferably between about 0.3 and 1.0, and most preferably between about 0.4 and 0.7;
- two R 4 's on the same nitrogen can together form a ring structure selected from the group consisting of piperidine and morpholine.
- DSRH Degree of Substitution
- the “Degree of Substitution” for group R C which is sometimes abbreviated herein “DSRC”, means the number of moles of group R C components, wherein Z is H or M, that are substituted per anhydrous glucose unit, wherein an anhydrous glucose unit is a six membered ring as shown in the repeating unit of the general structure above.
- the requirement that Z be H or M is necessary to insure that there are a sufficient number of carboxy methyl groups such that the resulting polymer is soluble. It is understood that in addition to the required number of R C components wherein Z is H or M, there can be, and most preferably are, additional R C components wherein Z is a group other than H or M.
- the cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials defined above can be used as an additive in dyeing, dyeing aftertreatments, softener finishing, hand building finishing, durable press finishing, soil release finishing, antibacterial finishing and even mechanical finishings, etc.
- the materials can be also used either by themselves alone or in conjunction with other textile additives such as but not limited to wetting agents, chelating agents, pH control agents, softeners, soil release agents, water repellants, dye fixatives, durable press finishing agents, antibacterial agents, etc.
- the cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials are commonly utilized during the dyeing and/or finishing stages

Abstract
Cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials for use in textile mill applications. The compositions of the present invention impart appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles during laundering and in-wear. The applications can be stand alone or incorporated into textile mill processes. The materials can be applied onto yarns/fabrics/textiles/garments via pad-dry processes or exhaustion methods.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60/372,877, filed Apr. 16, 2002.
- The present invention relates to textile mill applications of certain cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials which impart appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles during laundering and in-wear. The applications can be stand alone or incorporated into traditional textile mill processes such as dyeing and finishing.
- It is, of course, well known that alternating cycles of using and laundering fabrics and textiles, such as articles of clothing and apparel, will inevitably adversely affect the appearance and integrity of the fabric and textile items so used and laundered. Fabrics and textiles simply wear out over time and with use. Laundering of fabrics and textiles is necessary to remove soils and stains which accumulate therein and thereon during ordinary use. However, the laundering and in-wear, over many cycles, can accentuate and contribute to the deterioration of the integrity and the appearance of such fabrics and textiles.
- Deterioration of fabric integrity and appearance can manifest itself in several ways. Short fibers are dislodged from woven and knit fabric/textile structures by the mechanical action of laundering and abrasion/rubbing during in-wear. These dislodged fibers may form lint, fuzz or “pills” which are visible on the surface of fabrics and diminish the appearance of newness of the fabric. Further, repeated laundry-wear cycles of fabrics and textiles, can remove dye from fabrics and textiles and impart a faded, worn out appearance as a result of diminished color intensity, and in many cases, as a result of changes in hues or shades of color.
- Given the foregoing, there is clearly an ongoing need to identify materials which could be added to textile mill applications which reduce or minimize the tendency of fabric/textiles to deteriorate in appearance during laundering and in-wear. Any applications of such materials should, of course, be able to benefit fabric appearance and integrity without unduly interfering with other fabric/textile properties such as fabric feel or hand feel, draping, softness, smoothness, etc. The present invention is directed to the use of cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials in textile mill application which perform in this desired manner.
- Cellulosic based polymer or oligomer materials which are suitable for textile mill applications and provide the desired fabric appearance and integrity benefits can be characterized by the following general formula:
