Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile technology, and more specifically to a method for using vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Vat dyes, due to their bright colors, complete color spectrum, and excellent color fastness, have become a widely used type of dye in the textile printing and dyeing industry, especially suitable for dyeing cellulosic fiber fabrics, and occupy an important position in the production of high-quality textile fabrics. Overflow dyeing machines, with their advantages of smooth fabric flow, gentle dyeing process, and minimal fabric damage, are commonly used dyeing equipment in the textile printing and dyeing industry. Combining vat dyes with overflow dyeing machines has become an important development direction for improving the dyeing quality and production efficiency of textile fabrics, and has also received widespread attention and research within the industry.

[0003] Currently, there are existing dyeing processes in the industry that utilize vat dyes in overflow dyeing machines. Generally, vat dyes are mixed with various auxiliaries, and then the pre-treated fabric is dyed in the overflow dyeing machine. Some processes add starch-based substances as dyeing auxiliaries to improve the bonding effect between the dye and the fabric. During the dyeing operation, process parameters such as temperature and liquor ratio are controlled, along with the addition of leveling agents and oxidizing agents to complete the dyeing and fixing processes. The overall process revolves around the core steps of vat dye reduction, dyeing, and oxidative fixing, with parameters adjusted to suit the operating characteristics of the overflow dyeing machine.

[0004] However, existing overflow dyeing processes for vat dyes still have many technical shortcomings. On the one hand, directly mixed dye systems are prone to uneven dyeing during overflow dyeing, resulting in color differences in fabrics dyed in the same batch and making it difficult to ensure the consistency of dyed products. This is related to the poor binding effect between the dyeing auxiliaries and dyes, and the poor dispersion stability of dyes in the dye bath. On the other hand, fabrics dyed using existing processes exhibit poor lightfastness, easily fading and discoloring after sun exposure. The binding stability between the dye and the fabric fibers is insufficient, failing to meet the lightfastness requirements of high-quality textile fabrics. Furthermore, traditional starch-based dyeing auxiliaries, due to the lack of targeted modification, have poor compatibility with vat dyes, making it difficult to effectively improve dyeing results. This is also a significant factor restricting the application of vat dyes in overflow dyeing machines.

[0005] In conclusion, a new technical solution is urgently needed to address the problems existing in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for dyeing with vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine. The use of a dye premix significantly improves dyeing performance. The cationic properties of modified cationic starch generate electrostatic adsorption with fabric fibers, allowing the coated dye particles to quickly and uniformly adhere to the fabric surface. This avoids local color differences caused by uneven dye dispersion in the dye bath, and the water flow impact in overflow dyeing prevents local dye aggregation, effectively improving dyeing uniformity and ensuring consistent dyeing results for the same batch of fabrics. The stable structure formed by the cross-linking of modified cationic starch and vat dye forms a protective film on the fabric fiber surface after color fixation, enhancing the binding stability between the dye and fiber, reducing damage to dye molecules from external factors such as light, improving the dye's lightfastness and the fabric's light fastness. Its film-forming properties also make the dye and fiber bond more firmly, preventing fading.

[0007] One object of the present invention is to provide a method for dyeing with vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine, comprising the following steps: S1. Disperse cationic starch in isopropanol solution, add sodium hydroxide to alkalize, then add allyl chloride and heat and stir to react, to obtain cationic starch containing double bonds; S2. The double-bonded cationic starch, acrylic acid, and hydroxy acrylate are blended together, an initiator is added, and the mixture is heated under inert gas protection to obtain modified cationic starch. S3. The modified cationic starch, vat dye and crosslinking agent are blended and crosslinked to obtain a dye premix; S4. Remove the oil from the fabric to be dyed, place it in an overflow dyeing machine, add the dye premix and leveling agent and perform overflow dyeing to obtain the pre-dyed fabric. S5. Add dyeing auxiliaries to the pre-dyed fabric, heat it, polish it, and dry it to obtain the dyed fabric.

[0008] Further, in step S1, the mass ratio of the cationic starch to allyl chloride is 100:(1-3).

[0009] Furthermore, in step S1, the heating temperature is 30-40°C.

[0010] Further, in step S2, the mass ratio of the double-bonded cationic starch, acrylic acid, and hydroxy acrylate is 10:(0.1-1):(0.5-1.5).

[0011] Furthermore, in step S2, the heating temperature is 60-80℃.

[0012] Further, in step S3, the mass ratio of the modified cationic starch, vat dye, and crosslinking agent is 10:(0.1-1):(0.01-0.1).

[0013] Further, in step S3, the crosslinking agent is selected from one or more of glyoxal and glutaraldehyde.

[0014] Further, in step S4, the leveling agent is selected from one or more of anionic surfactants or nonionic surfactants.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S5, the dyeing auxiliary agent is selected from one or more of oxidizing agents, dispersants, chelating agents, and soaping agents.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S5, the oxidant includes a weak oxidant and a strong oxidant; the weak oxidant includes an organic oxidant; and the strong oxidant includes hydrogen peroxide.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a method for using vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine. The method involves first alkalizing cationic starch and then reacting it with allyl chloride to introduce double bonds. This is followed by graft copolymerization with acrylic acid and hydroxyacrylate to obtain modified cationic starch. This modified starch exhibits good compatibility with vat dyes and possesses abundant cationic, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups, enabling uniform dispersion of dye particles and efficient adsorption of vat dyes through electrostatic adsorption. Subsequently, during crosslinking with a crosslinking agent, the agent promotes intermolecular bonding of the modified cationic starch molecules, forming a three-dimensional network structure that encapsulates the adsorbed vat dyes, ultimately yielding a stable and uniformly dispersed dye premix. This preparation process, through chemical bonding rather than simple physical mixing, allows the dye particles to be coated and dispersed within the modified cationic starch, solving the problem of vat dye agglomeration and significantly enhancing the binding force between the dye and the carrier. This lays a structural foundation for uniform dye uptake and stable color fixation during subsequent dyeing processes.

[0018] The use of dye premixes significantly improves dyeing performance in multiple ways. The cationic properties of modified cationic starch allow for electrostatic adsorption with fabric fibers, enabling dye particles coated within it to quickly and evenly adhere to the fabric surface. This avoids uneven dye dispersion in the dye bath, resulting in localized color variations and greatly improving dyeing uniformity. Furthermore, during overflow dyeing, the dye does not aggregate due to water flow impact, ensuring consistent dyeing results across the same batch of fabrics. The stable structure formed by the cross-linking of modified cationic starch and vat dyes creates a protective film on the fabric fiber surface after dyeing and fixing. This film enhances the bonding stability between the dye and fiber, reduces damage to dye molecules from external factors such as light, and improves the dye's lightfastness, increasing the lightfastness of the dyed fabric. The film-forming properties of modified cationic starch also strengthen the bond between the dye and fiber, further preventing fading during fabric use. Ultimately, this achieves a dual improvement in dyeing uniformity and lightfastness, adapting to the dyeing characteristics of overflow dyeing machines and enhancing the overall product quality of vat dye overflow dyeing.

[0035] Comparative Example 1 A method for dyeing with vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine. The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that step S1 is omitted, and step S2 is modified as follows: Cationic starch, acrylic acid, and hydroxyethyl acrylate were mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 10:1:1 to obtain modified cationic starch. The other steps and dosages are the same as in Example 1.

[0036] Comparative Example 2 A method for dyeing with vat dyes in an overflow dyeing machine, the difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the glyoxal is replaced by water by mass. The other steps and dosages are the same as in Example 1.

[0037] Test case The properties of the dyed fabrics of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested.

[0038] Test method: (1) Dyeing uniformity: Using the methods of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, two identical fabrics to be dyed were added and dyed simultaneously in the same dyeing process to obtain dyed fabric 1 and dyed fabric 2 respectively.

[0039] Testing instrument: X-Rite colorimeter; Testing conditions: Measurements were taken under D65 light source and 10° viewing angle conditions, with a measuring aperture of 30 mm. During measurement, the fabric should be flat, and the measuring surface should be avoided from touching it with hands. Each sample was measured four times, and the average value was taken. The uniformity of dyeing was judged based on the comparison between the color difference and the standard color.

[0040] in, Indicates the total color difference. The smaller the value, the closer the color is to the standard color. The larger the value, the greater the difference from the standard color. (This refers to dyed fabric 1 and dyed fabric 2.) The closer the values ​​are, the better the staining uniformity.

[0041] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0042] Table 1 Results of staining uniformity test

[0043] (2) Light fastness: The dyed fabrics were prepared using the methods of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. After the dyed fabrics were exposed to sunlight for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively, the color change of the samples was evaluated using a gray card. The results were divided into 5 grades, with grade 5 being the best and grade 1 being the worst.

[0044] The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0045] Table 2 Results of sunlight fastness test

[0046] The test results above show that, in the dyeing uniformity test, the dyed fabric prepared in Example 1 of this invention exhibits better uniformity than two pieces of fabric dyed in the same batch. The values ​​were all at low levels and similar, demonstrating excellent dyeing uniformity; while Comparative Example 1, which did not prepare cationic starch containing double bonds, and Comparative Example 2, which did not add crosslinking agent, showed that the dyed fabrics had... The values ​​are not only higher, but the values ​​of the two pieces of fabric in the same batch are significantly different, and the dyeing uniformity is greatly reduced. This indicates that the addition of modified cationic starch and crosslinking agent in this invention can effectively improve the color uniformity of vat dye in the overflow dyeing process and avoid color difference problems.

[0047] In the lightfastness test, the dyed fabric of Example 1 maintained a lightfastness of 4.5 after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h of sunlight exposure, demonstrating excellent and stable lightfastness. The dyed fabric of Comparative Example 1 showed a continuous decrease in lightfastness from 4 to 3 as the exposure time increased, indicating poor lightfastness. Although the initial lightfastness of the dyed fabric of Comparative Example 2 was consistent with that of Example 1, it subsequently showed a significant decrease with prolonged exposure time. This demonstrates that the modified cationic starch obtained by the present invention through double bond modification of cationic starch, grafting with acrylic monomers, and crosslinking with a crosslinking agent, combined with vat dyes, can significantly improve the lightfastness of dyed fabrics, enhance the bonding stability between dyes and fabrics, effectively delay fading under sunlight, and greatly improve the lightfastness of dyed fabrics.

[0048] Overall, the vat dye overflow dyeing method of the present invention, through the preparation of modified cationic starch and the formulation of dye premix, not only improves the dyeing uniformity but also significantly enhances the light fastness of dyed fabrics. It solves the technical problems of color difference and poor light fastness that are prone to occur in traditional vat dye overflow dyeing, improves the product quality of vat dye overflow dyeing, and has good application prospects.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
