Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile fabric technology, specifically relating to a composite functional fabric with both waterproof and UV-resistant functions and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Waterproof and breathable fabrics are of great importance in the fields of hygiene, agriculture, protective clothing, sportswear, and construction. Waterproofing fabrics is a necessary process to give them hydrophobicity and water resistance. After being treated with a waterproofing agent, the fabric surface becomes hydrophobic, effectively preventing it from getting wet. This treatment meets people's needs for waterproof fabrics.

[0003] Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can lead to various skin problems, such as accelerated aging, burns, blemishes, and even cancer. Even when wearing clothing, there is still a risk of UV exposure and skin damage. Therefore, it is necessary to treat clothing and fabrics with UV protection to ensure the wearer's safety.

[0004] Chemical finishing of fabrics can effectively achieve strong waterproof and UV-resistant properties. However, currently used chemical finishing agents mainly involve the use of fluorinated compounds, which does not conform to environmental protection principles. Some existing fluorine-free waterproof and UV-resistant finishing agents, such as CN104328664A, require separate waterproofing and UV-resistant finishing of the greige fabric because the waterproofing agent and UV-resistant finishing agent cannot be used simultaneously, resulting in low processing efficiency. Moreover, the waterproofing agent is a composition with relatively poor compatibility between the components, making it unstable during industrial production and affecting the actual waterproofing effect. Furthermore, the component procurement cost is high, as is the fabric processing cost. In addition, its UV-resistant finishing agent contains salicylic acid, which has relatively poor stability, a narrow absorption wavelength, and poor binding ability of metal ion chelates to fibers, resulting in poor durability.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to develop a fluorine-free waterproof and UV-resistant finishing agent for textiles, which would give the finished textiles excellent waterproof and UV-resistant properties and simplify the finishing process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite functional fabric. By using a specific fluorine-free waterproofing agent formula and an anti-ultraviolet finishing agent formula to impregnate and finish the greige fabric, the fabric not only has excellent waterproof and anti-ultraviolet properties at the same time, but also has very good durability. At the same time, it further simplifies the chemical finishing process, improves efficiency, reduces the cost of chemical finishing, is more suitable for industrial production, and has better practicality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a fabric, comprising the following steps: subjecting the greige fabric to alkali reduction treatment, then subjecting the greige fabric to UV resistance and waterproofing treatment using an impregnation process, and baking;

[0009] The UV-resistant finishing agent used in the UV-resistant treatment comprises the following components: 100 parts of benzophenone-based UV absorber, 20-90 parts of dispersant, 80-230 parts of stabilizer, 4-15 parts of defoamer, and 800-1800 parts of water; preferably, the UV-resistant finishing agent comprises the following components: 100 parts of benzophenone-based UV absorber, 30-70 parts of dispersant, 100-180 parts of stabilizer, 5-12 parts of defoamer, and 950-1550 parts of water;

[0010] The waterproofing agent used in the waterproofing treatment is a polymer, and its structural formula is as follows:

[0011]

[0012] Where x, y, and z represent the degree of aggregation, where x is any integer from 1 to 40, y is any integer from 1 to 40, and z is any integer from 1 to 40.

[0013] The UV protection treatment and the waterproofing treatment can be performed simultaneously, or the UV protection treatment can be performed first, followed by the waterproofing treatment.

[0014] When the UV-resistant treatment and the waterproof treatment are performed simultaneously, the working fluid used in the padding process is prepared by mixing the UV-resistant finishing agent and the waterproof finishing agent in a mass ratio of 1:1.

[0016] The conditions for the alkali reduction treatment are: temperature 60-80℃, time 50-60 minutes. Alkali treatment loosens the fabric structure, which is more conducive to improving the subsequent waterproofing and UV resistance effects of padding.

[0020] The defoamer is an organosilicon defoamer, such as the water- and oil-repellent defoamer FK-300 from Beijing Zhongfang Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0021] The UV-resistant finishing agent is prepared according to the following steps: first, the benzophenone-based UV absorber is mixed with the stabilizer and water, stirred once, then the dispersant and defoamer are added, stirred a second time, and filtered.

[0022] The conditions for the first stirring are: a rotation speed of 70-150 rpm and a time of 20-30 min. The conditions for the second stirring are: a rotation speed of 100-200 rpm and a time of 20-30 min.

[0028] In step S1, the emulsifier is a cationic surfactant. The amount of the emulsifier is 0.7-12% of the total mass of the polymeric monomers, preferably 3.5-9%.

[0029] In step S1, the cationic surfactant is one or more of dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, and bis(dodecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride).

[0030] In step S1, the solvent is diethylene glycol diethyl ether.

[0031] In step S1, the mixing conditions are: a rotation speed of 200-300 rpm and a time of 20-30 min.

[0032] In step S1, the crosslinking agent is N-hydroxymethylacrylamide; the amount of the crosslinking agent is 0.8-10% of the total mass of the polymeric monomers, preferably 3.4-7.3%.

[0033] In step S1, the shearing conditions are: rotation speed of 2500-3000 rpm and time of 4-5 min.

[0034] In step S1, the homogenization conditions are as follows: the pressure in the low-pressure stage is 10 MPa and the time is 5-6 min, and the pressure in the high-pressure stage is 30 MPa and the time is 2-3 min.

[0035] In step S2, the stirring conditions are: temperature of 40-50℃, preferably 45℃, speed of 80-120rpm, preferably 100rpm, and time of 9-11min, preferably 10min.

[0036] In step S2, the initiator is azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride. The initiator is added to the preemulsion in batches, preferably in three batches within one hour.

[0037] In step S2, the amount of the initiator is 10-15% of the total mass of the polymerizing monomers, preferably 10.4-12%. The mass ratio of the initiator to the water is 1:(20-50), preferably 1:35.

[0038] In step S2, the conditions for the polymerization reaction are: a temperature of 60-70℃, preferably 65℃, and a time of 3-5h, preferably 4h.

[0044] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:

[0045] 1. This invention selects benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers as anti-ultraviolet finishing agents, and selects specific dispersants, stabilizers and defoamers to be compatible with benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers based on their characteristics, thereby significantly improving the anti-ultraviolet efficacy of the absorber, resulting in better stability and higher fabric durability.

[0046] 2. This invention obtains a polymer with a specific structure through the polymerization of three monomers: long-chain fatty alcohol acrylate, butyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate.

The processing is also simpler, making it suitable for industrial production and more practical. Detailed Implementation
