Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile material dyeing, in particular to a dyeing process for high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (UHMWPE), also known as high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fiber, is widely used in aerospace, military machinery, transportation, sports equipment and other fields as a special fiber and high-performance fiber due to its excellent mechanical properties, stable chemical properties and ideal mechanical properties. However, due to its high relative molecular weight, polyethylene has a high degree of orientation, regular molecular arrangement, high crystallinity, and is difficult to dye. At present, there are two main conventional methods, one is to add dyeing masterbatch, and the other is to modify it. The method of adding masterbatch is to add the masterbatch to the slice. , and then melt spinning. This method can dye the fiber, but the compatibility between the masterbatch and the slice is poor, the rheology and spinnability of the melt are not good, and the introduction of the masterbatch leads to the destruction of the internal structure of the fiber obtained in the subsequent production, and the fiber strength is greatly reduced, and its high strength advantage cannot be brought into play. In addition, this production process has poor flexibility and it is troublesome to replace various colored silk varieties, so it cannot be applied on a large scale. Modification methods are used, such as dyeing under supercritical conditions, but the reaction conditions are harsh, and slight differences in temperature or pressure will affect the dyeing of the final product, so it cannot be applied on a large scale;

[0003] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber has been widely used in many fields due to its excellent performance. However, due to the particularity of its chemical structure, effective dyeing has always been a difficult problem in the industry. Traditional dyeing methods often make it difficult for the dye to fully penetrate and evenly adhere to the fiber, resulting in poor dyeing effect, insufficient color brightness and durability, and color fastness that is difficult to meet actual needs.

[0004] In the dyeing process, it is very important to choose the right dye. Many common disperse dyes not only have limited dyeing performance, but also may have environmental and safety issues. In addition, the imperfection of dyeing process will also affect the dyeing quality and efficiency. For example, the lack of effective pre-treatment operation may lead to impurities and oil residues on the fiber surface, affecting the adsorption and penetration of dyes. The unreasonable formula of dyes may lead to uneven dyeing and low dyeing rate. Improper post-dyeing treatment may affect the color fastness and fiber performance.

[0005] At the same time, with the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements and the continuous improvement of people's requirements for product quality, it is imperative to develop an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber dyeing process that is efficient, environmentally friendly and can ensure dyeing quality. It is necessary not only to improve the dyeing effect and fastness, but also to reduce the impact on the environment, reduce energy consumption, and ensure the safety of operators. To this end, we propose an efficient and environmentally friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber dyeing process. Summary of the invention

[0011] Step 4: After dyeing is completed, the mixed dye solution is quickly discharged and soaked in -5°C-15°C frozen water for 5min-10min. After soaking, it is taken out and washed with water, and then the polyethylene fiber is fixed with water-based polyurethane. After completion, it is dehydrated and dried to obtain the finished polyethylene fiber material.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: In the step 1, dispanoside C-VS is relatively stable compared to other disperse dyes, and changes in pH and temperature have little effect on dispanoside C-VS.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: in the step 4, after soaking in frozen water, let it stand for 10 minutes, and then use warm water at 25℃-40℃ to wash the polyethylene fiber three times. When washing, pinch the two corners of the polyethylene fiber in the same direction, drag it back and forth in the warm water to wash, and avoid rubbing and twisting when washing.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: in the step 4, after the polyethylene fiber is cleaned, it is rolled into a cylindrical shape according to the shape of a dehydrator and placed in the dehydrator for dehydration.

The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 1, an alkaline cleaning agent is used as the cleaning agent, and the cleaning time is 15-20 minutes. In the plasma treatment chamber, the vacuum degree needs to reach 10 -3 Pa, using NH3 as the plasma treatment gas for 10min-15min, and the treatment power is 100W-200W.

4. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 2, Dispansu C-VS is a disperse dye, benzoyl peroxide is an initiator, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is an active diluent, acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer is a buffer, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate potassium salt is an antistatic agent, and sodium lignin sulfonate is a dye auxiliary.

5. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 2, the leveling agent is one of lauryl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and styrene-maleic anhydride random copolymer.

6. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step three, when the polyethylene fiber material is too long, a wooden stick is used to wrap and tighten the polyethylene fiber material and place it in the mixed dye solution, and the heating rate of the mixed dye solution is 5° C. / min.

7. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 3, after the dyeing is completed, the mixed dye liquid in the polyethylene fiber needs to be driven out with a wooden stick, and then the polyethylene fiber is hung on a bamboo pole, and the height of the polyethylene fiber from the ground is 35cm-40cm.

8. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 4, after soaking in frozen water, let it stand for 10 minutes, and then use warm water at 25°C-40°C to wash the polyethylene fiber three times. When washing, pinch the two corners of the polyethylene fiber in the same direction and drag it back and forth in the warm water to wash. Avoid rubbing and twisting during washing.

9. The dyeing process of a high-efficiency and environment-friendly ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step 4, after the polyethylene fiber is cleaned, it is rolled into a cylindrical shape according to the shape of a dehydrator and placed in the dehydrator for dehydration. After dehydration, it is spread out and laid horizontally on two or more bamboo poles. Weights of the same mass are hung at both ends of the polyethylene fiber to fix the polyethylene fiber. The polyethylene fiber is dried at a temperature of 40° C. to 45° C. During the drying operation, ventilation should be paid attention to. The polyethylene fiber is dried for 2 days to 3 days until the polyethylene fiber is completely dry to obtain a finished polyethylene fiber material.
