(A) applying a modifier to the surface of the polyester fiber or film, and
(B) heating the fiber or film in a zone having a volume less than about 150 times the volume of the fiber or film.
This invention relates to a process wherein a modifier is applied to the surface of a polyester fiber or film and the fiber or film is subsequently heated in a zone having a volume less than about 150 times the volume of the fiber or film.
The modification of polyester fibers and films has assumed tremendous significance in recent years. The prior art such as US. 3,166,886, US. 190,718 and US. 2,855,- 633 discloses that various modifiers can be applied to the surfaces of fibers or films which enhance the utility of fibers or films by rendering the fiber or film flameproof, more dyeable, soil resistant, permanently pressed, and the like.
Because of high volatilities many of these valuable and inexpensive modifiers cannot be effectively placed within the fiber because many of these inexpensive modifiers tend to vaporize at the temperatures used to place the modifiers in the fiber after the modifiers have been applied to the surface of the fiber. This invention provides a valuable advantage over the prior art in that valuable modifiers which previously could not be effectively placed within polyester fibers by applying the modifier to the surface of thefiber and subsequently heating the fiber, can now be applied to polyester fibers by the process of this invention. Another advantage of this invention is that inexpensive modifiers can be applied to polyester fibers or films.
In one embodiment this invention comprises a process wherein a modifier is applied to the surface of a polyester fiber or film and the fiber or film is subsequently heated in a zone having a volume that does not exceed certain limits in relation to the volume of the fiber or film. Specifically, the volume of the zone in which the heating occurs is less than about 150 times the volume of the fiber or film. In another embodiment the volume of the zone is less than about 50 times the volume of the fiber or film.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a process specifically adapted to effectively place a modifier within a polyester fiber or film.
Additionally, it is an object of this invention to place a modifier within a polyester fiber or film through a process which includes applying a modifier to the surface of a polyester fiber or film and heating the fiber or film in a zone having a volume less than about 150 times the volume of the fiber or film, and preferably less than about 50 times the volume of the fiber or film.
Additionally, it is an object of this invention to place a modifier within a polyester fiber which will decrease the flammability of the fiber.
Additionally, it is an object of this invention to place a modifier within a polyester fiber which will increase the dyeability of the fiber.
Other objects, advantages and features of this invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and appended claims.
According to one embodiment of the first step of this invention any suitable modifier, or mixtures of modifiers, that will permit the invention to be practiced can be applied, preferably continuously, to the surface of a polyester fiber or film. According to this invention the modi fiers can be applied to the polyester to enhance any desired property of the fiber. Modifiers which decrease the flammability of the fiber are especially applicable for use in this invention as well as are modifiers which increase the dyeability of the fiber, particularly in disperse dyes. The modifiers of this invention can be applied to the surface of a polyester fiber or film in the form of a liquid, solid dissolved in a solvent or a solid, but are in liquid form during the heating step in the zone having a volume of less than about times the volume of the fiber or film.

In one embodiment where modifiers that improve the dyeability are used, from about 3-6 weight percent of the modifier can be used. In one embodiment where modifiers that improve the flammability of the fabric or fiber are used, from about 8-18 weight percent of the modifiers can be used.
Any high-melting crystalline polyester can be used in the process of this invention.
In one embodiment aliphatic, alicyclic and aromati dicarboxylic acids having up to 40 carbon atoms can be used to form the polyester useful in this invention. Examples of such acids include oxalic, malonic, succinic, adipic, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic, terephthalic and isophthalic. Other acids include 4,4-dicarboxydiphenyl, 4,4 sulfonyldibenzoic, 1,2-di-(p-carboxylphenyDethane, naphthalenedicarboxylic and the like.

Two or more diols can be used to give copolyesters, and in a preferred embodiment, a polyester can be prepared of at least 80 mole percent ethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol.
In one embodiment a composite fabric containing areas composed of polyester fiber and areas composed of other fibers, such as cellulosic, can be used in this invention.
In another embodiment a fabric derived from a blend of polyester and other material, such as cellulosic material, can be used in this invention.
According to this invention the modifier, or mixtures of modifiers, can be applied in any manner that will permit practice of the invention. In one embodiment the modifier can be applied by padding from a water or organic solvent solution, suspension, emulsion, or gell. The water or organic solvent can be removed, if desired, prior to the heating step. In another embodiment the modifier can be applied by depositing the modifier directly on the fiber surface without a vehicle.
Other materials can be added or removed from the fiber either before or after the application step, and the fiber can be subjected to other additional steps either before or after the application of the modifier to the surface of the fiber. Specifically, the modifiers of this invention can be applied to polyester fibers, filaments, fabrics, yarns and the like at any processing stage and specifically can be applied either before, during or after drafting or heat setting. If modifiers are applied to drafted, unheat-set fibers, the heat-setting and diffusion operations may be carried out simultaneously. Spun yarns constructed from staple mixtures of polyester fibers combined with fibers of cotton, rayon, wool, nylon, cellulose acetates and acrylics can be used in this invention. Woven and knitted fabrics are well suited for this process. Pile and nonwoven fabrics may also be used.
According to the second step of the process of this invention the polyester fiber or film to which the modifier has been applied is subsequently heated, preferably continuously, at about atmospheric pressure within a temperature range of about 180-220 C. for a period of time in the range of about 5 seconds to about 10 minutes in a zone having a volume less than about 150 times the volume of the fiber or film. In another embodiment of the invention the volume of the zone can be less than about 50 times the volume of the fiber.
The zone in which the heating step is performed can be of any suitable geometry. In one embodiment a tube open at both ends can be used to define the zone and thus the zone is cylindrical and the volume of the zone is the cross sectional area of the tube times the length of the tube. In this embodiment modifiers can advantageously be applied to a tow or yarn. In another embodiment the zone can be defined as the space between parallel plates and the volume of the zone is the length times the Width of the plates times the distance the plates are spaced apart. In this embodiment the modifiers can be advantageously applied to a fabric or film. As will be recognized by a person skilled in the art the zone may consist of many other configurations in which the volume can be calculated by a man skilled in the art.
During the second step of the invention the modifiers which have been applied to the surface of the polyester are transferred from the surface of the fiber and placed within the fiber. Although the precise mechanism involved in the transfer of the modifiers into the fiber is not fully understood, one theory suggests that the modifiers difiuse from the surface of the fiber and become evenly dispersed through the cross-section of the fiber. In the embodiment of the invention where the modifier enhances the dyeability of the fiber it has been suggested that the modifiers become dispersed in the amorphous regions of the fibers and function as structure sufliciently to permit a more facile entry of the dye molecules.
The following examples are understood to illustrate but not limit the invention.
EXAMPLE 1 A series of runs are conducted to illustrate the practice of the invention wherein a modifier is placed within a fabric where the volume of the zone used is less than about 150 times the volume of the fabric.
In this example a poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabric (4.3 oz./sq. yd., 46 x 46 construction, density 1.38 g./ cm?) is padded with a 6% (by weight) aqueous emulsion of butyl benzyl phthalate dye carrier to give wt. percent Wet pickup.
The emulsion is prepared by adding 40 g. of butyl benzyl phthalate and 0.4 g. of Triton X-100 (nonionic wetting agent) to 960 g. of Water in a Waring Blendor with rapid stirring.
After drying at 100 C. a first sample of this fabric is loosely rolled and placed inside a glass tube open on both ends. Using the known weight of the sample and the density of the sample the volume of the sample is calculated. The volume of the zone is calculated by multiplying the cross sectional area of the tube by the length of the tube. The volume of the fabric is divided into the volume of the open end tube defining the zone and it is determined that the volume of the zone is about 12 times the volume of the fabric. The tube, even through open at both ends, thus defines a zone with a volume about 12 times the volume of the fabric. -A thermo couple is attached to the fabric so that the fabric temperature can be monitored directly by a potentiometer. The tube is placed in a forced convection oven preheated to 190 C. After the fabric temperature has reached 190 C., the sample is allowed to remain for an additional 5 min. A second sample of the above fabric is heated in the same oven at 190 C. for 5 min. in such a manner that the volume of the tube, and consequently the zone, is greater than 150 times the volume of the fabric.
By nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy sample one is found to contain 5.1 wt. percent butyl benzyl phthalate (before dyeing) while sample two is found to contain less than 1 wt. percent.
Samples one and two are then given an aqueous prescour which consists of 1 g./l. soda ash and 1 g./l. neutral soap heated at the boil for 30 min. Each sample is then dyed separately in an open aqueous dye bath containing 3% Eastman Polyester Blue GLF for 1 hour at the boil. No carrier is added.
A third sample of untreated polyester fabric is dyed in the same manner except that 7 g./l./o-phenylphenol carrier is added to the dye bath. A fourth sample of untreated fabric is dyed in the same manner without a carrier.
All four dyed samples are then scoured in an aqueous bath containing 2 g./l. of sodium hydroxide and 2 g./l. of nonionic detergent at 70 C. for 20 min.
The amount of dye taken up by each sample is determined by extraction of weighed portions with hot chlorobenzene and photometric comparison of the dye solutions with known standards. Eastman Polyester Blue GLF disperse dye is 17.5 wt. percent cake. The dye concentrations reported in this and the following examples are reported as the weight percentage of dye cake based on fiber weight. Thus for a 3% dyeing with Eastman Polyester Blue GLF, the theoretical maximum percentage of dye cake which can be absorbed by a fabric is calculated: 3.0 X 0.175=0.525%. Data regarding the dye content of all four samples is given below:
These data clearly indicate that when the volume of the zone is less than about 150 times the volume of the fabric as in sample one, sufficient carrier is placed within the fabric to dye effectively and the dye takeup (0.45%) is at a satisfactory level for commercial dyeing and is substantially the same as sample three when the carrier is added directly to the dye bath (0.46% dye cake).
Additionally, these data demonstrate that when the volume of the zone is greater than about 150 times the volume of the fabric, as in sample two, the amount of carrier placed within the fabric results in only 0.15% dye content and the dye takeup is unsatisfactory for commercial dyeing and is substantially the same as 0.12% in sample four when no carrier is added to the dye bath.
Stated another way, these data illustrate that the process of the invention can be used to provide commercially acceptable dyeing levels only when the volume of the zone is less than about 150 times the volume of the fabric.
Similar results are obtained when fabrics of poly(1,4-
cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) are used in place of poly(ethylene terephthalate).
EXAMPLE 2 A series of runs are conducted to illustrate the practice of the continuous embodiment of the invention wherein a dye carrier is applied to yarns.
In this example a first poly(ethylene terephthalate) spun yarn of known denier and density is passed in a continuous operation through a solution of 4 wt. percent dibutyl phthalate in isopropyl alcohol, through a drying oven heated at C., through a glass tube maintained at 200 C. having a volume, and thus defining a zone, approximately times the volume of the yarn and finally onto a takeup spool. The yarn speed is 25 ft./ min. so that the residence time of the yarn in the heated tube is approximately 7 seconds.
In a separate operation a second poly (ethylene terephthalate) yarn is heated at 200 C. for approximately 8 to 10 seconds in a relatively large cabinet having a voltime much greater than 120 times the volume of the yarn. Both yarns are knitted into hoseleg and then scoured and dyed as described in Example 1.
The first yarn subjected to the practice of the invention wherein the volume of the zone is less than about times the volume of the yarn, dyes to a deep blue shade (0.45% cake) while the second yarn processed in a zone wherein the volume of the zone is greater than about 150 times the volume of yarn dyes to an unsatisfactory light blue shade (0.18% cake).
These data indicate that the invention can be advantageously employed in a continuous embodiment.
Similar results are obtained when poly(tetramethylene terephthalate) and poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) are used in place of poly(ethylene terephthalate).
EXAMPLE 3 A series of runs are conducted to illustrate the practice of the invention when the ratio of the heating zone is varied when compared to the volume of the fabric.
In these runs a poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabric is treated as described in Example 1 except that the tube size and fabric sample size are varied from a volume ratio of 12:1 to about 500:1. Listed below are the dye contents (Eastman Polyester Blue GLF) of fabric samples heated at various ratios of the tube volume to fabric volume.
Volume of tube compared to volume of fabric:
Dye content, percent cake Several runs are conducted to illustrate that the process of the invention does not substantially impair the properties of fiber.
Drafted, unheat-set poly(ethylene terephthalate) yarn is treated as follows. A first sample of this yarn is padded with a toluene solution containing 5 wt. percent of butyl benzyl phthalate. After drying in air, the first sample is placed for 1 minute between electrically heated parallel plates maintained at 190 C. which define a zone having a volume determined by multiplying the length and width of the plates by the distance the plates are spaced apart.
8 length of time wherein the volume of the oven exceeds 150 times the volume of the fabric. The heated samples are then scoured as described in Example 1 and dyed with either Eastman Polyester Blue GLF or Eastman Polyester Red FFBL disperse dyes Without carriers. In
5 This volume was determined to be about 100 times the each case the hoselegs which are heated between the volume of the yarn. A second sample is not padded with parallel plates dye to commercially desirable deep shades any modifier and placed in a forced convection oven While the hoseleg samples heated in the convection oven heated at 180 to 190 C. for 5 minutes wherein the y to commercially undesirable P Shades-I11 addition, volume of the oven is greater than 150 times the volume 10 hoselegs containing 5% or more of halogen are either of the yarn.
