Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of textile dyeing, and particularly relates to a wet steam dyeing method for a cotton and polylactic acid blended fabric. Background Art

[0002] Polylactic acid (PLA) fiber is made from agricultural products such as corn and grains, which are fermented into lactic acid and then synthesized. It not only has excellent physical properties and wearability, but its waste can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in nature, and will not pollute the environment. Therefore, it is called one of the new environmentally friendly fibers that the industry is paying attention to.

[0003] PLA fibers possess a silky luster and pleasant feel, along with the characteristics of common synthetic fibers, such as similar strength and elongation, excellent wrinkle resistance and morphological stability, excellent antibacterial and mildew resistance, good moisture absorption and perspiration wicking, quick-drying properties, and a high strain recovery rate. Consequently, garments made with PLA fibers exhibit excellent drape and feel, providing comfort and making them a premium material for high-end casual wear. Currently, cotton-PLA blended fabrics not only maintain their biodegradability but also further demonstrate the unique advantages of PLA fiber fabrics.

[0004] However, polylactic acid fiber is not resistant to high temperature (130 ℃) and alkali. When it encounters high temperature or alkali, the strength of the fabric is significantly reduced and it is difficult to color. Currently, the dyeing process of cotton and polylactic acid blended fabrics is complicated, inefficient and has poor dyeing quality. Summary of the Invention
