(Cl- 8-34) of a vat dyestulf in leuco form or a dispersion of a vat dyestuif;
-.(b Thermally treating the impregnated polyolefin;
() Where a vat dyestuff dispersion is used, then subfooting the thus thermally treated, impregnated polyolefin to reducing conditions to reduce the dyestuff to the leuco form; and
-(d) Subjecting the impregnated polyolefin to oxidation while contemporaneously soaping such polyolefin with a soap solution at its boiling temperature.
The present invention also relates to the polyolefin materials dyed according to, the above mentioned method.
It is well known that articles made from synthetic ma terial obtained by the polymerization of hydrocarbons containing no polar groups, e.g., ethylene, propylene, methylpentene-1,.etc., are most difiicult to dye by the dyestuffs and methods conventionallyemployed because of their lack of affinity for such dyestuffs.
' Such incompatibility to dyeing and the unsatisfactory 'fresults obtained have led to three attempted solutionsto the problem:
(1) Dyeing in mass, using pigments of the synthetic material before shaping or spinning; thishas definite disadvantages because it is necessary that the semi-finished material be produced in the final dye;
(2) A previous partial modification of the material, comprising adding, during the shaping and spinning operation, dyeable substances to the polymer which permits the dyeing of the shaped articles; this technique is disadvantageous in that it is comparatively expensive, yet the final product may not completely be homogeneous.
(3) Substantial modification of either the entire material during the preparation of the polymer, or its surface after it has been shaped, comprising introducing into the polymer molecule atoms other than C and H, or introducing functional groups different from the parafiinic groups (contemplating also the formation of copolymers),
in order to render the material dyeable; this technique has the drawback that the modification of the polymer molecule may lead to a change of the characteristics of the product.
The'present invention goes beyond the solutions described in foregoing items (1), (2) and (3), since it relates only to non-modified polymers, and to the nonmodified polymer portions in the physical or mechanical mixtures together with other materials.
Particularly as regards polypropylene, a very high in compatibility has'be'en shown with respect to dyeing car-v ried out using conventional dyestuffs and dyeing methods;
Results having a practical interest, although very restricted, have been hitherto obtained by the application of vat dyestuffs in dyeing.
The application of vat dyestuffs on textile materials made up of polyolefins, particularly polypropylene, may
be carried out for instance according to the following Patented Feb. 8, 1966 minutes; gradually heating at about 45 C. and carrying 1 on the dyeing at this temperature for about 30-40 minutes while maintaining the pH at between 9.5 and 10 and seeing that an excess of sodium hydrosulfite is always present; rinsing the material with cold Water; soaping for 20-30 minutes at the boiling temperature using a solution containing 2 g./l. of an anionic detergent and between ing the material.
Dyes suggested for use in the above process include 1,2,5,6 diphenyl dithiazol anthraquinone; dibromo anthranthrone; isoviolanthrone; 4,4 dimethyl 6,6- dichloro thioindigo; 5,7,5',7 tetrabromo thioindigo; 4',4" dibenzamido anthraquinon-4,1,10,1" diimido anthranthrone; dibromo-dimethoxy-dibenzanthrone; 1,1, 4,5 dibenzoyl diamino diant'rimide; 2,3',3,2" trianthraquinoyl-l,4',l-diimide; product of the alkaline condensation of 1,3,l",9-diimidoanthraquinonebenzam throne (having respectively the following Oolor Indexes, CI. 67300, 59105, 60010, 73360, 73065, 65225, 59830, 69015, 70800, 69525).
The dyeing process involves a penetration of the dyestuffs in the reduced state followed by fixation in the oxidized state of the dyestulfs in the surface pores of the material.
1 and 2 cc. of 30% hydrogen peroxide; rinsing; and dry- By dyeing according to this method and using appro- 7 priate concentrations of each of the above mentioned dyestuffs, materials are obtained having a very bright shade but with an intensity not greater than those which are of the standard ECE intensity scale. It is clear that such a limitation of the dyeing capabilities severely limits the possible sales potential and marketing of the material. Further, the fastness to rubbing of the dyed materials thus obtained is very low, so that such dyed materials and articles are not suitable for use in home furnishings. Moreover the fastness to organic solvents is so low that drywashing of the colored material is impossible without completely affecting the dyeings. These drawbacks clearly adversely affect the marketing potential of the materials dyed by this technique.
There has now surprisingly been found a method by which it is possible to dye polyolefin materials using vat dyestuffs, whereby the dye product exhibits an intensity 1/1 in the ECB standard scale.
This method comprises:
(a) Impregnating a polyolefin with either a solution ofa vat dyestufi in leuco form or a dispersion of a vat dyestufi;
(b) Thermally treating the impregnated polyolefin;
(0) Where a vat dyestuff dispersion is used, then subjecting the thus thermally treated, impregnated polyolefin to reducing conditions to reduce the dyestuif to the leuco form; and
(d) Subjecting the impregnated polyolefin to oxidation While contemporaneously soaping such polyolefin with a soap solution at its boiling temperature.
'In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, a vat dyestutf in leuco form is applied to the polyolefin material, followed by a heat treatment and a subsequent reoxidation of the dyestuffs while on the material.
