Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional fabrics, and in particular to a method for preparing fully recycled stretch fabrics. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development has reached an unprecedented level. Countries have introduced a series of stringent environmental policies aimed at reducing the negative impact of the textile industry on the environment. For example, the EU's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation imposes strict restrictions on the use of textile chemicals, prompting companies to seek more environmentally friendly production methods. Furthermore, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are guiding various industries towards sustainable transformation.

[0003] Among the existing stretch fabrics on the market, elasticity usually needs to be coated with spandex. However, spandex is a non-renewable fiber and has poor durability. Spandex is prone to deterioration after long-term wear, resulting in filamentous breakage and pilling of the fabric, loss of elasticity, and other phenomena.

[0004] In this environment, the textile industry urgently needs to develop new stretch fabrics that meet environmental requirements while ensuring product performance. Fully recycled ammonia-free stretch fabrics, with their use of recycled materials and reduced chemical pollution, are an ideal choice to meet this trend.

[0005] The present invention is based on research on recycled fully regenerated polyester yarn made from discarded plastic bottles and the like, exploring a more environmentally friendly method for preparing ammonia-free stretch fabrics. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing an ammonia-free fully recycled stretch fabric which is environmentally friendly, elastic, durable and has low production cost.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is: A method for preparing a fully recycled stretch fabric comprises the following steps: S1: Spinning; using recycled PET with a viscosity difference of 0.3 to 1.0 dl / g as raw material, wherein the ratio of low-viscosity material or high-viscosity material is 30 to 70%, and the ratio of the low-viscosity material + the ratio of the high-viscosity material = 100%; spinning the low-viscosity material and the high-viscosity material into yarn using a spinning machine; S2: weaving; weaving the yarn produced in step S1 into grey cloth using a loom; S3: Desizing: adding soda ash, scouring agent and chelating agent in the desizing machine to remove the oil in the grey cloth; S4: Dyeing: Dyeing under acidic conditions, with the dye solution temperature set at 120-135°C; S5: drying; S6: Shaping and finishing; use a shaping machine for heat setting processing.

[0008] The viscosity of the low-viscosity material is 0.2-0.8 dl / g, and the viscosity of the high-viscosity material is 0.5-1.5 dl / g.

[0009] The proportion of the low-viscosity material or the high-viscosity material is 40-60%.

[0010] The cross section of the yarn produced in step S1 is in a sheath-core shape or a peanut shape.

[0011] In step S4, the pH value of the dye solution is set to 3.5-4.5.

[0012] In the step S6, the setting temperature is 140-160°C.

[0013] The present invention describes a method for producing fully recycled stretch fabric. Using fully recycled polyester as raw material, the method utilizes a unique weaving and dyeing process to innovatively achieve the production of fully recycled, ammonia-free stretch fabric. Specifically, the method uses recycled polyester with specific viscosity differences to spin yarns, which are then woven into a fabric. During high-temperature dyeing of the fabric, the fibers with varying viscosities within the yarns shrink differently, forming a crimped structure that imparts excellent elasticity comparable to spandex fabric. Furthermore, the stretch fabric produced by the present invention maintains excellent elasticity even after multiple washes, eliminating the durability issues associated with traditional spandex fabrics and enhancing both wearer comfort and aesthetics.

[0014] The present invention uses recycled materials as raw materials to prepare fabric products with excellent elasticity in an environmentally friendly and lower-cost manner, improving the pain points of traditional stretch fabrics, such as the non-renewable spandex and poor durability. It is environmentally friendly, reduces costs and increases efficiency, and has broad market application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
