Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent specifically relates to a processing technology for a sand-washed fabric. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, consumers' consumption and aesthetic views on clothing have undergone new changes. In particular, their expectations for children's textile and clothing products are getting higher and higher. They not only need to be colorful and bright, lively and fashionable, but also need to meet the new mainstream concepts of environmental protection, hygiene, health, comfort and novelty.
[0003] In recent years, sand-washed garments have become a new concept in textile products, gaining popularity among consumers due to the superior fluffiness, softness, and smoothness of sand-washed fabrics. However, the production of sand-washed textiles suffers from drawbacks such as complex processes, high equipment investment, energy consumption, and high production costs; and significant quality issues including holes, stains, color differences, and color defects in the fabrics. Furthermore, the dyeing and finishing processes and production of sand-washed textiles are currently conducted intermittently and in small batches, insufficient to meet production demands. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems in the prior art by proposing a processing technology for sand-washed fabric.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A processing technology for a sand-washed fabric, the process is as follows: raw material textile fabric weaving → pre-dyeing and finishing → flat-width degreasing → fabric pre-ordering → dyeing → post-treatment → drying → finishing → final inspection / warehousing. The dyeing process includes: sand washing, sand washing and polishing, dyeing with polyester, reduction cleaning and reactive dyeing steps. Through these steps, the fabric's fluffiness, surface fuzz, appearance and feel achieve the effect of sand washing.
[0006] Further, the imitation sand wash: Hot water is introduced into the dyeing machine, and the fabric is fed in and run for 3-5 minutes. After adding the Tencel fiber opener, the machine continues to run for 3-5 minutes. The temperature is increased to 80°C at a rate of 3°C / min, and then increased to 105°C at a rate of 1.5°C / min. The machine runs for 80-90 minutes, and then cooled to 65°C at a rate of 1.5°C / min. After measuring the pH value, a sample is taken, and the fabric is washed with circulating water for 15 minutes. The temperature is then reduced to 50°C and the water is drained. Hot water is then introduced again, and soda ash is added and the machine runs for 3-6 minutes before draining. Hot water is then introduced again, and glacial acetic acid is added. After measuring the pH value, the fabric is washed with overflow water for 6 minutes before draining.
[0007] Further, sand-like washing and polishing: Add cold water to the dyeing machine, add glacial acetic acid and sodium acetate, adjust the pH value to 6.0±0.3, heat to 54℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, add neutral cellulose polishing enzyme and continue running for 170-190min, then add neutral cellulose polishing enzyme again and run for 50-70min, heat to 80℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min and run for 9-11min, drain the water, add hot water, run for 3-5min, and drain the water again.
[0008] Further, dyeing: hot water is introduced into the dyeing machine and heated to 55°C. Leveling agent, glacial acetic acid and dye are added. The temperature is increased to 130°C at a rate of 1.5°C / min. After running for 18-22 minutes, the temperature is decreased at a rate of 1°C / min. Samples are taken at 65°C.
[0009] Further, reduction cleaning: Add acidic reduction cleaning agent to the dyeing machine, heat to 85℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, run for 28-32 minutes, then cool to 70℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min to drain the water, then run in hot water for 6-8 minutes and drain the water.
[0010] Further, regarding dyeing activity: Add hot water and dye to the dyeing machine. For the first addition, add 1 / 10 of the total amount of sodium sulfate and 1 / 20 of the total amount of soda ash. For the second addition, add 2 / 10 of the total amount of sodium sulfate and 2 / 20 of the total amount of soda ash. For the third addition, add 3 / 10 of the total amount of sodium sulfate and 4 / 20 of the total amount of soda ash. For the fourth addition, add 4 / 10 of the total amount of sodium sulfate and 13 / 20 of the total amount of soda ash. Run the machine for 3-5 minutes, then raise the temperature to 60°C at a rate of 1°C / min and maintain it for 40 minutes. Finally, take a sample and drain the water.
[0011] Furthermore, for light-colored fabrics, a pretreatment process is added before the sand-washing process. The pretreatment involves: adding hot water into the dyeing machine, adding low-foaming scouring and degreasing agent, low-temperature scouring and bleaching agent, and scouring enzyme. The temperature is then raised to 70°C at a rate of 3°C / min. Hydrogen peroxide and degreasing agent are added, and the temperature is raised to 85°C at a rate of 3°C / min. The process is run for 30-32 minutes, then cooled to 78°C. After sampling, the water is drained, and then hot water is added again for 6-8 minutes before draining. Then, 55°C hot water with glacial acetic acid is added and the process is run for 6-8 minutes, with the pH value measured in between. After adding deoxygenating enzyme, the process is run for 10-14 minutes before draining.
[0012] Further post-treatment: Add hot water to the dyeing machine and run for 6-8 minutes, then drain. Add acid and soap to the hot water, then heat to 80°C at a rate of 3°C / min and run for 10-12 minutes. Take a sample and drain. Add hot water again and run for 6-8 minutes, then drain.
[0013] Furthermore, the fabric is a blend of modal, polyester, and spandex fiber yarns.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This project solves and breaks through the bottlenecks and technical difficulties in the traditional sand-washed textile fabric production process; the development and industrialization of the process technology reduces the amount of sand-washing machinery and equipment and production steps, thereby reducing production costs and energy consumption while promoting cleaner production; the developed imitation sand-washed fabric possesses the fluffy, silky, and soft characteristics of sand-washed products, while also taking into account the fabric's crispness, elasticity, moisture absorption, quick-drying properties, antibacterial and deodorizing multi-functionality; it adapts to the new concepts of safety, environmental protection, hygiene, health, comfort, and novelty, and can be widely used in various fashion casual wear, sportswear, school uniforms, and children's wear textile fabric markets, possessing good economic benefits and a far-reaching and broad textile market prospect.
