Description

nited States Patent 3,812,201 TEXTILE FINISHING COMPOSITION AND PROCESS Alvin E. Bey, Midland, Mich., assignor to Dow Corning Corporation, Midland, Mich. No Drawing. Filed Feb. 25, 1972, Ser. No. 229,482
Int. Cl. C08g 37/38, 47/10 US. Cl. 260-824 R 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Application of a composition consisting essentially of a durable press resin and a carboxy functional siloxane to some textiles has been found to impart improved tear strength, abrasion resistance and flat appearance.
The development of durable press resins for textile treating followed from the development of the urea-formaldehyde condensates in the early 1930s which were used to control the shrinkage of rayon and'cotton.
The simple urea-formaldehyde resins were followed by the melamine-formaldehyde resins, then dimethylolethylene urea, dimethylolpropylene urea, dimethylol dihydroxyethylene urea, glyoxol urein, dimethylolethyl triazone, and other resins. More recently, another group of materials, namely the epoxides, divinyl sulfone derivatives, epichlorohydrin compounds, ethyl carbonate, and others have also found use in this area.
While all of the foregoing materials are, or have been, used in the manufacture of textile products which are easy to care for in that they require little or no ironing, i.e., the wash and wear materials, they do not all achieve their goal in the same manner. The materials such as dimethylolethylene urea, its triazone, tr-azine and imidazoline variations, formaldehyde, formals, glyoxal, epoxy resins, and divinyl sulfone derivatives, for example, tend to crosslink the cellulose thereby immobilizing the fiber. This stiffening of the textile results in a poor, broady hand and a loss of tear strength and abrasion resistance. On the other hand other materials such as urea-formaldehyde and other resin condensates tend to fill up the amorphous areas of the textile and produce the same poor quality products.
In spite of the abovementioned drawbacks, durable press resin textile finishes have found wide use and acceptance, particularly in the last decade, and have almost eliminated the starch and oil finishes for garment fabrics. Many attempts have been made to eliminate or minimize the aforementioned problems, but generally such attempts have not been completely sucessful.
It is an object of this invention to provide a composition and process for finishing textiles which imparts wash and wear properties thereto with a minimal loss of tear strength and abrasion resistance.
Another object of this invention is to provide a composition and process for finishing textiles which imparts wash and wear properties thereto and which also imparts better flat appearance.
This invention also has as an object the provision of a textile finishing composition and process which imparts wash and wear properties to the textile with less durable press resin being required than if it were used alone.
It has now been found that by using a composition consisting essentially of 50 to 99% by weight of a durable press resin and 1 to 50% by weight of a carboxy functional siloxane as a textile finishing composition that the adverse effects of the durable press resin on some textiles can be substantially improved.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following description and examples.
Any of the well known durable press resins can be used in the composition of this invention. Examples of such resins include the urea formaldehyde resins, melamineformaldehyde resins, dimethylolethylene urea resins, dimethylolpropylene urea resins, methylol imidazolidone resins, dimethylol dihydroxyethylene urea resins, glyoxal diurein resins, tetra-methoxymethyl dimethylene diureide resins, dimethylol uron resins, dimethylol-ethyl triazone resins, formaldehyde resins, glyoxal resins, methylol dimethyl hydantoin resins, epoxide resins, vinyl cyclohexene dioxide resins, 1:2 dichloropropanol resins, 1:3 dichloro- 2-propanol resins, pyridinium salt of ethylene bis-chloromethyl ether resins, tris (l-aziridinyl) phosphine oxide resins, divinyl sulfone derivative resins, sodium thiosulfate adduct of bis-hydroxyethyl sulfone resins, tris-(beta sulfate-ethyl) sulfonium salt resins, ethyl N,N-dimethylol carbamate resins, and tris (N-methylol-Z-carbamoyl ethyl amine) resins. The composition of this invention can contain from 50 to 99% by weight of the durable press resin, but preferably contains from 70 to 97%. The durable press resins, commercially, are available neat or as pastes and creams in a carrier. The durable press resins can be incorporated into the composition of this invention via any of the aforementioned forms, however, the amounts referred to above are with respect to the resin per se.
The carboxy functional siloxanes useful in this invention are well known types of materials whose general description and methods of preparation have been set forth in various places in the literature. Best results are believed to be obtained with a siloxane compolymer consisting essentially of about to 99 (preferably to 99) mole percent of units wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon, halohydrocarbon, cyanohydrocarbon, isocyanohydrocarbon, hydroxyhydrocarbon, mercaptohydrocarbon, etherhydrocarbon, esterhydrocarbon, thioetherhydrocarbon, thioesterhydrocarbon and nitrohydrocarbon radicals, and n has a value from 0 to 3, and about 1 to 25 (preferably 1 to 10) mole percent of R radical being ones wherein at least one of the R radicals is a methyl radical, at least 90 mole percent of all the siloxanes units in the copolymer having a degree of substitution of 2, and said siloxane copolymer having an overall degree of substitution in the range of about 1.8 to 2.1. The composition of this invention can contain from 1 to 50% by weight of the carboxy functional siloxane, but preferably contains from 3 to 30% The carboxy functional siloxanes employed herein can be used neat or in the form of a solution in an organic solvent or water. In the case of aqueous solutions, they can be mechanical emulsions of the siloxane copolymer or the emulsions obtained as a result of preparing the siloxane copolymer by emulsion polymerization. Preparation of these carboxy functional siloxane copolymers and the various types of solutions thereof are well known by those skilled in the art and will not be described in further detail here.
Specific examples of R radicals which can be present in the siloxane are the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl,
hexyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl, octadecyl, myricyl, vinyl, allyl, hexenyl, cyclobutyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, xenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, 2 phenylethyl, tolyl, xylyl, mesityl, 3 chloropropyl, 4 bromobutyl, 3,3,3 trifluoropropyl, chlorocyclohexyl, bromophenyl, chlorophenyl, alpha, alpha,alpha-trifiuorotolyl, dichloroxenyl, 2 cyanoethyl, 3-cyanopropyl, cyanophenyl, 3 isocyanopropyl, 6 1S0- cyanohexyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, 5 hydroxypentyl, hydroxyphenyl, hydroxynaphthyl, mercaptoethyl, mercaptopropyl, mercaptohexyl, mercaptophenyl, (CH OC H 2) s a 2) a z s,
-( 2 s a 2) s z s,
-(CH COSCH nitrophenyl and 3 nitropropyl radicals. It is preferred that the R radical contain from 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
Specific examples of the divalent linking group R are the methylene, ethylene, propylene, hexamethylene, decamethylene, -CH CH(CH )CH phenyl, naphthylene, C H CH C H -CH --C H.,C H -CH radicals. It is preferred that the R' radical contain from 2 to 10 carbon atoms.
The composition of this invention can be applied to the textile to be treated in the same manner and using the same equipment as presently used for durable press resins alone. This is of great benefit to textile finishers as no new equipment need be purchased, and no radically new processing techniques need be learned by them. Of course, other methods of applying the composition to the textile can be used if so desired.
In applying the finish composition of this invention to a textile enough should be applied so that a pick up by the textile, based on the weight of the textile, of 5 to 25% by weight of durable press resin and 0.25 to 5% by weight of the carboxy functional siloxane is achieved. The compositions of this invention are best applied to the textile as a solution in a suitable organic solvent or as an aqueous emulsion.
The compositions and process of this invention can be used in conjunction with any textile but the advantages thereof are mostly readily apparent with certain types of textile. For example, improvement in flat appearance is best seen with lightweight materials such as batiste or shirtweight materials such as cotton/polyester blends whereas the ability to reduce the durable press resin needed is best seen with mediumweight materials such as poplin.
While water-repellents, flame-proofers, wool-shrinkage control agents, pigment fixatives, nonwoven fabric binders, flock binders and other conventional textile finishing materials can also be applied to textiles treated with the composition of this invention, the compatibility of each must be checked as well as any possibility of deleterious effects on the performance of the composition of the instant invention.
Now in order that those skilled in the art may better understand how the present invention can be practiced, the following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation. All parts and percents referred to herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
EXAMPLE 1 A textile finishing composition was prepared which consisted essentially of 100 pounds of ethylene urea durable press resin (Proctor EU-SO), 24 pounds of magnesium chloride curing agent for the resin, 2 pounds of a nonionic polyether surfactant (Dexopal 555), 270 pounds of water, and 16 pounds of an emulsion consisting essentially of 35% of a siloxane copolymer consisting essentially of about 97.5 mole percent (CH SiO units and about 2.5 mole percent (CH )HOOCCH SCH CH S1O units, 2% of the ammonium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, and 63% water. This composition was prepared by adding the surfactant to half the water, then adding the resin, next adding the siloxane emulsion, and finally adding the curing agent in the remaining amount of water. Continuous mild agitation was used during mix- Ihe above prepared composition was applied to about 100 yards each of nine difierent styles of polyester/cotton, lightweight fabrics, which ranged from batiste weight to dress good weight. In some of these fabrics the poly ester/cotton ratio was 65/35 and in others 50/50. The fabrics were padded single dip, dried in a foot frame at a speed of about yards per minute at temperature stages of 300, 330 and 360 F. In tandem with the frame was a cure box (oven) with a capacity of 150 yards of fabric, and after drying the fabrics were cured in this box for about 1 /2 minutes at 320 F. A pickup of about 0.75% of siloxane based on the dry weight of the fabric was obtained.
The hand of the fabrics treated by the above process was extremely desirable. The average flat appearance of the fabrics without any treatment (AATCC Test Method 124-1967) was 1.8 after one wash and less than 3.0 after five washes whereas the treated fabrics averaged 3.7 after one wash and 4.2 after five washes.
EXAMPLE 2 A textile finishing composition was prepared which consisted essentially of 100 pounds of ethylene urea durable press resin (Proctor EU-SOLF), 20 pounds of zinc chloride curing catalyst for the resin, 2 pounds of a nonionic surfactant (Actopal RS-l), 260 pounds of water, and 16 pounds of the siloxane copolymer emulsion used in Example 1. This formulation was designed to give about a 1% pick up of the siloxane copolymer based on the dry weight of the fabric on the average fabric run.
The above composition was applied tovarious shirt fabrics running from lightweight batiste to mediumweight oxford weave fabrics. The fabrics were dipped and nipped once. The speed of operation was about yards per minute. After treatment the fabrics were dried in a 110 foot frame at the foregoing speed at temperature stages of 300, 330 and 360 F. for about /2 a minute. The gabricir were then cured in a box for 1% minutes at In Table I below the results of various tests conducted on the above treated fabrics are set forth. Fabric A was a white 65/35 polyester/cotton oxford. Fabric B was a gray 100% filament polyester (Fortrel). Fabric C was a light blue 50/50 polyester/cotton material. Fabric D was a sky blue 50/50 polyester/cotton material. Fabric E was a burgundy 50/50 polyester/cotton material. Flat appear ance was measured according to AATCC Test Method 124-1967. Results of this test are an average of nine evaluations. Flex Abrasion was measured according to ASTM Test D1175-64T. Tear was measured according to ASTM Test D1424-63. Wrinkle Recovery was measured according to AATCC Test 66-1968. Handle, which is a subjective test, is reported in Table II.
