Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of textile dyeing methods, specifically relating to a tension-free antigen-fibrillation dyeing method for lyocell blended yarns. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lyocell fiber, a green regenerated cellulose fiber derived from natural renewable wood, produced through an environmentally friendly process with biodegradable waste, has become a highly sought-after raw material in the high-end shirt and underwear market due to its excellent moisture absorption and breathability, high strength, and soft, comfortable feel. However, the large-scale application of lyocell fiber in yarn-dyed fabric production has long been severely constrained by two inherent technical challenges. The first is the fibrillation problem. Due to the highly oriented molecular structure of the fiber, the lateral connections between surface microfibrils are prone to breakage when wet or subjected to friction, forming microfibrils with diameters of only tens of nanometers. This phenomenon directly leads to "frosty" white fuzz, hazy dullness, and "shadowy" patterns in yarn-dyed fabrics during wear and washing, accompanied by problems such as itching, pilling, and decreased dimensional stability. The second is the color difference problem during dyeing. Traditional package dyeing methods commonly suffer from color differences between inner and outer layers and between packages due to factors such as deformation from repeated use of resin bobbins, variations in yarn winding density, and uneven dye penetration. Industry standards are typically only at level 3-4, as seen in the package dyeing method disclosed in CN115058006A. This process results in a low first-pass yield, increases rework costs and energy consumption, and makes it difficult to meet the stringent color uniformity requirements of the high-end market.

[0003] To address these challenges, existing technologies often seek breakthroughs from a single perspective. Regarding fibrillation, the mainstream chemical crosslinking method, particularly the dyeing-in-the-bath crosslinking process, while short and energy-efficient, faces the challenge of competitive dyeing due to the competition between reactive dyes and crosslinking agents for hydroxyl reaction sites on the fiber. This directly leads to a significant decrease in dye uptake and color depth. Although some studies have proposed optimizing to a two-step method to alleviate competitive dyeing, this requires extremely high process control. While post-dyeing separate-bath crosslinking can avoid competitive dyeing, it increases the number of steps and energy consumption, and may cause greater strength damage. Regarding color difference in dyeing, some innovations have proposed using bobbin-less yarn dyeing devices and processes to optimize dye liquor flow and achieve uniform dyeing. However, these primarily focus on solving color differences and do not integrate fibrillation treatment, nor address the competitive dyeing conflict during co-bath treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a tension-free antigen-fibrillated dyeing method for lyocell blended yarns, which results in uniform dyeing, small color difference, and increased pass rate.

[0005] The method for tension-free antigen fibrillation dyeing of the Lyocell blended yarn according to the present invention includes the following steps: preparation of tension-free bobbinless loose yarn bundles, loading of tension-free loose yarn bundles, and tension-free one-bath dyeing / crosslinking; The preparation of the tension-free bobbinless loose yarn bundles uses an integral chuck bobbin to wind the pure Lyocell or blended yarn into tension-free yarn bundles of 0.5 - 1.5 kg each, while wrapping them with knitted sock tubes to prevent them from being scattered; For the loading of the tension-free loose yarn bundles, a cross hanging chain is used in combination with a yarn bundle grate to achieve staggered loading in a "pin" shape, and the loading rate is 90% - 120%; The tension-free one-bath dyeing / crosslinking is to subject the loaded tension-free loose yarn bundles to pretreatment and then achieve dyeing crosslinking through a two-step one-bath method, which can overcome the problem of a significant decrease in the fiber color depth caused by the competing dyeing of the dye and the crosslinking agent in the same bath. Finally, it undergoes soaping, hot water washing, one-bath treatment of fixing / softening, and radio frequency drying.

[0006] The pure Lyocell or blended yarn contains at least one of cotton, hemp, wool, silk, or other natural fibers in its blended components, and the content of Lyocell fibers in the blended components is 50 wt% or more.

[0007] The knitted sock tube is made of polyester or nylon, has good elasticity, and since reactive dyes cannot color it, the knitted sock tube can be reused.

[0008] The staggered loading in a "pin" shape means that the yarn bundles are arranged alternately in the upper, middle, and lower layers in the dyeing cage, and adjacent yarn bundles are closely arranged to ensure no flow loss when the dyeing solution flows between the yarn bundles.

[0009] For the tension-free one-bath dyeing / crosslinking, the loaded tension-free loose yarn bundles are pretreated. The working solution formula for the pretreatment is: 2 - 4 g / L of scouring agent, 0 - 2 g / L of caustic soda, 0 - 1 g / L of chelating agent, 0 - 6 g / L of hydrogen peroxide, 0.5 - 1.5 g / L of degreasing agent, the treatment temperature is 100 - 110 °C, and the heat preservation time is 20 - 50 min.

[0010] The scouring agent is a non-ionic or anionic fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether compound, and the degreasing agent is a non-ionic or anionic surfactant.

[0011] The specific steps for achieving dyeing crosslinking using the one-bath two-step method are as follows: First, add 10-30 g / L of sodium sulfate at a temperature of 40-50℃. After 10-30 min, add the reactive dye using a linear feeding method. Then, raise the temperature to 55-60℃ at a heating rate of 1-1.5℃ / min. After holding at this temperature for 10-30 min, add 5-10 g / L of soda ash using a linear feeding method. Continue to hold at 55-60℃ for 10-30 min, and then add 2-6 g / L of lyocell crosslinking agent using a linear feeding method. Finally, complete the crosslinking and color fixing for 20-40 min to finish the dyeing crosslinking. The power of the circulating pump is maintained at 80%-90% of the rated power, and no reversing is required throughout the process. The linear feeding method is controlled by the feeding system built into the dyeing machine. It can be controlled by selecting different feeding curves, allowing the reactive dye, soda ash, or crosslinking agent to be injected into the dye bath at a uniform and continuous rate under the set feeding curve. The main purpose is to ensure that the agents are uniformly dispersed in the dye bath in real time, avoiding uneven dyeing or color variations caused by excessively high local concentrations or excessively fast dyeing rates. The concentrations of sodium sulfate, soda ash, and lyocell crosslinking agent are calculated based on the total water volume of the dye bath, i.e., each liter of dye bath water contains 10-30g of sodium sulfate, 5-10g of soda ash, and 2-6g of lyocell crosslinking agent, respectively.

[0012] The reactive dye is one or both of monochlorotriazine and vinyl sulfone, and the amount of reactive dye used is 0.5-6% (owf, i.e., percentage relative to the weight of yarn).

[0013] The soap washing process conditions are: soaping agent 1-3g / L, temperature 80-95℃, time 10-20min; the hot water washing process conditions are: temperature 80-98℃, time 10-15min, 2-3 washes.

[0014] In the one-bath treatment for color fixing / softening, the color fixing agent is a cationic color fixing agent, with a dosage of 1-3 g / L, and the softener is an organosilicon softener or a cationic softener, with a dosage of 2-5 g / L.

[0015] Given that the reaction principle between lyocell crosslinking agents and fibers is the same as that between dyes and lyocell fibers, when the crosslinking agent and dye are added to the dye bath simultaneously, a competitive situation arises, known as "competitive dyeing." The most direct problem caused by competitive dyeing is a decrease in dye utilization, ultimately leading to a reduction in the color depth of the fiber and an increase in dyeing costs. This patent, through an optimized dyeing and crosslinking process, not only achieves the dyeing of lyocell fiber yarns but also effectively prevents fibrillation of lyocell fibers. Furthermore, this process avoids the competitive dyeing problem that may occur when lyocell crosslinking agents and dyes are added simultaneously, thus ensuring an improved color depth of the fiber. This method is simple to operate, cost-controllable, suitable for industrial production, and has broad application prospects.

[0016] Although the present invention uses the integrated chuck bobbin of the soft winding machine in Patent CN119900138A, its "tension-free" dyeing effect is not mainly brought by this equipment alone. Instead, it is through the uniform soft winding basis provided by the equipment, combined with the "pin-shaped" staggered loading process of the present invention (the cross hanging chain and the yarn beam grate achieve a tight arrangement at a loading rate of 90%-120%), and the directional circulation control of 80%-90% of the circulating pump power during the dyeing process that jointly constructs a tension-free physical environment for the yarn beam throughout the dyeing process, thereby achieving uniform penetration of the dye liquor and zero color difference effect. The equipment is only a tool to achieve the basic form, while the specific loading method and process control are the contributions of the present invention in the physical form. The present invention adopts the "one-bath two-step" process to avoid competitive dyeing and maintain a high color yield depth. After adopting this process, its effect is significantly better than the traditional one-bath one-step method: at the same dye dosage, compared with the traditional one-bath one-step method (dyes and crosslinking agents are added simultaneously), the color yield depth is increased. Among them, the slow heating rate, staged heat preservation, and linear gradient feeding of soda ash / crosslinking agent effectively control the reaction priority of dyes and crosslinking agents at different stages, avoiding the direct competition of active groups.

[0017] The tension-free state realizes the fluffiness and uniformity of the yarn beam microstructure through the "pin-shaped" staggered loading, which is more conducive to the uniform penetration of specific crosslinking agents into the fiber interior in the dye bath and the step-by-step reaction with dye molecules at different stages: first, the covalent bond between the dye and the fiber is completed during the heat preservation stage at 60°C, and then the crosslinking fixation between fiber molecular chains is achieved through the addition of subsequent crosslinking agents. The tension-free environment avoids the uneven penetration of agents caused by yarn contraction, and the optimization of process parameters further enhances the mass transfer efficiency of auxiliaries in the tension-free yarn beam. The combined action of the three makes the dyeing uniform, the color yield depth increased, and the anti-fibrillation effect good.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) By adopting the tension-free yarn beam technology, the present invention realizes tension-free zero-color-difference dyeing of Lyocell pure spun or blended yarns, ensuring that the color difference between the inner and outer layers and among individuals of the yarn reaches level 5, thus completely eliminating the situation of rework.

[0019] (2) The present invention effectively solves the fibrillation problem of Lyocell pure spun or blended yarns. At the same time, by optimizing and adjusting the process, it avoids the crosslinking and dye competitive dyeing caused by co-bath crosslinking during dyeing, thereby avoiding the situation of decreased color yield depth.

[0020] (3) The loading rate of the tension-free yarn beam dyeing of the present invention can be ≥100%, and the first-pass qualification rate of dyeing is significantly improved, meeting the production requirements of enterprise quality improvement and efficiency increase. For example, through scientific control of the process curve and optimization of process parameters, the energy consumption and wastewater discharge in the dyeing and finishing process are significantly reduced, and the process stability is significantly improved.

The loose-type winding machine is manufactured and modeled by Swiss company SSM Textile Machinery PWX-W.

[0029] The integrated chuck tube used in the following winding machine is the tube from the published patent CN119900138A.

[0030] Example 1 The tension-free antigen fibrillation staining method for 100% Lyocell yarn includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of loose yarn bundles without bobbins Using an integrated clamping tube of a self-developed loose winding machine, 100% Lyocell fiber yarn (30S) is loosely wound into tension-free yarn bundles of 0.6kg each, while being wrapped with polyester knitted sock sleeves to prevent the yarn bundles from scattering.

[0031] Step 2: Tension-free loose yarn bundle filling During dyeing, a cross hanging chain is used in combination with an adjustable yarn beam grate. The yarn beams are arranged in a staggered manner in the upper, middle, and lower layers of the dyeing cage, loaded in a "pin" shape, and adjacent yarn beams are closely arranged to ensure that there is no flow loss when the dye liquor passes through the yarn beams during dyeing. At this time, the loading rate of the tension-free yarn beams is 90%.

[0032] Step 3: Tension-free one-bath dyeing-crosslinking (1) Pretreatment: The working liquor circulates unidirectionally from the inside out. The formula of the working liquor is: 2 g / L of refining agent SAELR and 1.5 g / L of degreasing agent TF101N. The treatment conditions are 105 °C for 30 min.

[0033] (2) Dyeing / crosslinking in one bath in two steps: First, add 20 g / L of sodium sulfate during the linear feeding stage at 45 °C. After 20 min, add 2% of reactive red RK-3BS in a linear feeding manner within 10 min. Then, heat up to 60 °C at a heating rate of 1.5 °C / min and hold for 20 min. After that, add 8 g / L of soda ash in a linear feeding manner within 15 min, continue to hold for 20 min, and then add 6 g / L of Lyocell crosslinking agent KR-6347 in a linear feeding manner within 25 min. Finally, hold for 30 min to complete dyeing and crosslinking; during the dyeing and crosslinking process, the power of the circulation pump remains at 80% of the rated power and does not change direction throughout the process.

[0034] (3) Post-treatment: Soaping, using 2 g / L of soaping agent WO, temperature 90 °C, time 15 min; hot water washing, temperature 98 °C, time 10 min, wash with water twice; fixing-softening in one bath, 2 g / L of fixing agent FA-LV, 3 g / L of softening agent LUA, temperature 55 °C, time 20 min; after the fixing and softening treatment, spin-dry the yarn, and then perform radio frequency drying.

[0035] After the post-treatment, the inner and outer layer difference of the yarn is tested. At the same time, the yarn is woven into a knitted sock tube for subsequent electron microscopy analysis, as Figure 1 shown.

[0036] Example 2 The tension-free anti-fibrillation dyeing method for the Lyocell blended yarn includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of tension-free loose yarn beams without bobbin An independently developed integrated chuck bobbin is used to wind the Lyocell / cotton blended yarn (Lyocell accounts for 65%, cotton accounts for 35%, 40S) into tension-free yarn beams of 1.4 kg each in a loose manner, and at the same time, it is wrapped with a nylon knitted sock tube to prevent the yarn beams from being scattered.

[0037] Step 2: Loading of tension-free loose yarn beams During dyeing, a cross hanging chain is used in combination with an adjustable yarn bundle grate. The yarn bundles are arranged alternately in the upper, middle, and lower layers in the dyeing cage, loaded in a "pin" shape, and adjacent yarn bundles are closely arranged to ensure that there is no flow loss when the dye liquor passes through the yarn bundles during dyeing. At this time, the loading rate of the tension-free yarn bundles is 105%.

[0038] Step 3: Tension-free one-bath dyeing-crosslinking (1) Pretreatment: The working liquor adopts a one-way circulation mode from the inside to the outside. Its formula is: 3 g / L of refining agent SAELR, 1 g / L of caustic soda, 6 g / L of hydrogen peroxide, and 1.0 g / L of degreasing agent TF101N. The treatment temperature is 100 °C, and the holding time is 40 min.

[0039] (2) Dyeing-crosslinking in one bath in two steps: In the linear feeding stage at 40 °C, first add 15 g / L of sodium sulfate, add 3%, reactive blue BK-HL and 1% reactive yellow YK-III RS after 15 min, then heat up to 60 °C at a heating rate of 1.5 °C / min. After holding for 15 min, add 6 g / L of soda ash by linear uniform feeding in 15 min. After continuing to hold at 60 °C for 15 min, then adopt the linear feeding method, and uniformly add 2 g / L of lyocell crosslinking agent KR-6347 and 2 g / L of lyocell interchain locking agent Linkcel FF within 15 min, and finally hold for 25 min to complete the dyeing and crosslinking of the yarn. During the dyeing and crosslinking process, the power of the circulation pump remains at 80% of the rated power, and there is no commutation throughout the process.

[0040] (3) Post-treatment: Soaping, using 1.5 g / L of soaping agent WO, temperature 85 °C, time 15 min; hot water washing, temperature 85 °C, time 12 min, washing 3 times; fixing-softening in one bath, using 1.5 g / L of fixing agent FA-LV and 4 g / L of softening agent LUA, temperature 55 °C, time 20 min. After fixing and softening, the yarn is spun dry and then radio frequency dried to test the internal and external color difference of the yarn.

[0041] Example 3 The tension-free anti-fibrillation dyeing method for the lyocell blended yarn includes the following steps: Step 1: Preparation of tension-free loose yarn bundles without bobbin An integrally developed chuck bobbin is used to loosely wind the lyocell / flax blended yarn (70% lyocell, 30% flax, 21S) into tension-free yarn bundles of 1.1 kg each, and at the same time, it is外包 with a polyester knitted sock tube to prevent dispersion.

[0042] Step 2: Loading of tension-free loose yarn bundles During dyeing, a cross hanging chain is used in combination with an adjustable yarn bundle comb, and the yarn bundles are arranged alternately in the upper, middle and lower layers in the dyeing cage, loaded in a "pin" shape, and adjacent yarn bundles are closely arranged to ensure that there is no flow loss when the dye liquor passes through the yarn bundles during dyeing, and the loading rate of the tension-free yarn bundles reaches 115%.

[0043] Step 3: Tension-free one-bath dyeing-crosslinking (1) Pretreatment: The working solution adopts a one-way circulation mode from the inside to the outside. Its formula is 4 g / L refining agent SAELR, 1 g / L chelating agent SQBLR, 2 g / L caustic soda, 6 g / L hydrogen peroxide, and 0.6 g / L degreasing agent TF1***N. The treatment temperature is 110 °C and the treatment time is 45 min.

[0044] (2) One-bath two-step dyeing-crosslinking: In the linear feeding stage at 50 °C, first add 30 g / L of sodium sulfate, then add 6% reactive black BKSRFN, and then heat up to 60 °C at a heating rate of 1.5 °C / min and keep warm for 30 min. After that, add 10 g / L of soda ash by linear feeding in 20 min, continue to keep warm at 60 °C for 30 min, and then use the linear feeding method again to add 4 g / L of Lyocell crosslinking agent KR-6347 in 20 min. Finally, keep warm for 40 min to complete the dyeing crosslinking. During the dyeing crosslinking process, the power of the circulation pump remains at 80% of the rated power, and there is no commutation throughout the process.

[0045] (3) Post-treatment: Soaping, using 3 g / L of soaping agent WO, treating at 95 °C for 20 min; hot water washing, washing at 85 °C for 15 min, washing twice; fixing-softening one-bath, using 3 g / L of fixing agent FA-LV and 5 g / L of softening agent LUA, treating at 55 °C for 20 min. After the fixing and softening treatment, the yarn is spun dry, then radio frequency dried, and then the internal and external color differences of the yarn are tested.

[0068] Characterization of internal and external differences: The cross-linked yarn after tension-free dyeing is divided into three layers: outer, middle and inner. Then, it is knitted into socks using a sock knitting machine. The color difference is rated according to GB / T251-1995 "Textiles - Tests for Color Fastness - Assessment of Staining - Gray Scale". The color difference between the inner and outer layers and between socks is rated according to GB / T251-1995 "Textiles - Tests for Color Fastness - Assessment of Staining - Gray Scale".

[0069] The inner and outer layer differences and color strength values ​​of the yarn are shown in Tables 1-3.

[0070] Table 1. Data on the inner and outer layer differences and color strength of yarns in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1, 1-1 and 1-2.

[0071] Table 2. Data on the inner and outer layer differences and color strength of yarns in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2, 2-1 and 2-2.

[0072] Table 3. Data on the inner and outer layer differences and color strength of yarns in Example 3 and Comparative Examples 3, 3-1 and 3-2.

[0073] Fibrillation characterization: Knitted socks without cross-linking and those with cross-linking after dyeing were divided into two equal parts. One part was not washed, and the other part was washed 10 times and dried according to GB / T8629-2017 "Home Washing and Drying Procedures for Textile Testing". After washing, scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed on both the original samples (without cross-linking) and the samples after 10 washes, as shown in the attached figures. Figure 1 As shown.

[0074] Data testing and electron microscopy analysis of the above embodiments and comparative examples demonstrate that the tension-free antigen fibrillation dyeing method for pure or blended lyocell yarns provided by this invention achieves a two-step dyeing-crosslinking process in a tension-free state through loose yarn bundle preparation and loading without bobbins. This effectively avoids the color difference between inner and outer layers caused by uneven tension in traditional package dyeing, and also effectively prevents the fibrillation tendency of lyocell fibers during dyeing, finishing, and wear. Furthermore, it solves the problem of reduced fiber color depth caused by the competitive dyeing of lyocell crosslinking agents and dyes when added simultaneously. This method is simple to operate, cost-controllable, suitable for industrial production, and has broad application prospects.
