Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile degreasing agents, in particular to a one-bath degreasing agent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] During the textile processing, in order to improve fiber cohesion, protect fiber strength and reduce breakage rate, special textile oils are usually added. The raw yarn of the fabric contains oils such as dimethyl silicone oil, amino-modified or polyether-modified silicone oil. The weaving mill also adds oils such as mineral oil to ensure smooth manufacturing.
[0003] In addition to the oils used for spinning, the oils on chemical fiber fabrics also include spinning oils and weaving oils used in textile factories.
[0004] Spinning oils typically consist of lubricants and surfactants. Lubricants include mineral oil, esterified oil, liquid paraffin, silicone oil, synthetic resin, and oil-wax emulsions, while surfactants include higher fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, or natural animal and plant oils, glycerol ethers, and octyl palmitate. The oil used for staple fibers primarily imparts antistatic properties to the fibers, eliminating the effects of static electricity during the blowroom, carding, drawing, roving, fine spinning, and stretch-slitting processes. Therefore, the oil used for staple fibers primarily consists of an antistatic agent, supplemented by smoothing and sizing agents. The oil used for filament fibers should facilitate package formation during spinning and ensure smooth stretching, false twisting, and weaving processes. The oil primarily consists of a lubricant, supplemented by emulsifiers and antistatic agents. Furthermore, fibers are susceptible to oil contamination during weaving, storage, and transportation. These contaminants must be thoroughly removed before dyeing to prevent difficult-to-remove defects such as color stains, color blooms, color lakes, and silicone oil spots, some of which are even irreparable.
[0005] Currently, most commonly used degreasers for removing oil and grease from textiles use a surfactant complex. These surfactants are mixed with water and other additives to create a working solution. To ensure uniformity, the working solution requires vigorous stirring during the preparation process, which draws air into the solution. Furthermore, air is also drawn into the fabric as it enters the working solution trough or machine, inevitably generating gas. The resulting foam can obscure the actual level of the treatment solution, leading to overflow of the degreasing and scouring agent, uneven dissolution, and ultimately, residual foam during discharge, resulting in incomplete discharge. Excessive foam can lift fabric, clog the working solution circulation nozzles, and exacerbate the accumulation of working solution contaminants, leading to staining of fabrics and equipment surfaces. To ensure effective rinsing, multiple rinses require large volumes of water, resulting in excessive waste of water resources. Furthermore, with increasing environmental pressures and increasing energy shortages such as water, electricity, and gas, the development of environmentally friendly, one-bath degreasers for dyeing that combine excellent degreasing effectiveness with streamlined processes is a growing trend.
