AI Technical Summary
Existing business denim fabrics have obvious problems with color fading and elasticity loss, especially dark-colored fabrics, which are prone to color fading when rubbed wet. Traditional spandex ratios are difficult to balance between micro-elasticity and stiffness.
A multi-level anti-fading mechanism is formed by pretreatment with cationic modified liquid, interweaving of cotton double spandex core-spun yarn, plasma treatment, and finishing with polyurethane/acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion. By modifying the dye binding fastness, constructing nanopores through plasma etching, and permeating the nanoemulsion cross-linked membrane, the internal color locking and elastic protection of the fiber are achieved.
It significantly improves the fabric's colorfastness and stable micro-elasticity, avoiding the problems of floating color and spandex loss in traditional processes, while maintaining a dark appearance and a comfortable wearing experience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fabric technology and relates to a colorfast, micro-elastic business denim fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Current business denim fabrics are mostly made of high-density dark twill weave and add a small amount of spandex to create a slightly elastic fabric. They abandon the traditional distressed and faded process of casual denim, resulting in a smooth and crisp fabric surface and a simple and formal style. They are widely used in light business workplace commuting attire, effectively making up for the shortcomings of traditional formal wear fabrics that are stiff and inelastic.
[0003] Current business denim fabrics still suffer from significant technical drawbacks, and existing improvement solutions have limitations. Conventional indigo and sulfur dyes adhere only to the fiber surface, resulting in high levels of loose dye. Due to the dark color requirements of business denim, heavy washing cannot remove this loose dye, leading to low wet rubbing colorfastness and a tendency to fade and stain. Traditional spandex formulations struggle to balance elasticity and crispness, resulting in elasticity degradation and surface blistering with prolonged use. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a manufacturing process for business denim fabrics that balances colorfastness and elasticity, addressing the multiple shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a colorfast micro-elastic business denim fabric and its preparation method.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: This invention provides a method for preparing a colorfast, micro-elastic business denim fabric, the method comprising the following steps: X1. The warp yarn is pretreated with a modified liquid, then dyed with rope dye, washed multiple times, sized, and wound to obtain modified dyed warp yarn. X2. Cotton double spandex core-spun yarn is used as the weft yarn and interwoven with modified dyed warp yarn to obtain the greige fabric; X3. After the fabric is singed with gas in both directions, it is desized, washed with neutralized water, cleaned at high temperature, and dried to obtain the treated fabric. X4. The treated fabric is subjected to plasma treatment and then dipped and rubbed twice with an elastic color-fixing finishing solution to obtain the dipped fabric. X5. The impregnated fabric is stretched and shaped, and then pre-shrinked with a rubber blanket to obtain the fabric.
[0006] Preferably, the warp yarn in step X1 is 30-count pure cotton yarn; the modifying solution consists of 4-6 g / L cationic modifier, 2-4 g / L penetrant, and the remainder deionized water; the pretreatment involves immersing the warp yarn in the modifying solution at 45°C for 20-30 minutes, with a roll-off rate of 65-75%, and pre-drying at 80°C after immersion.
[0007] Preferably, the cationic modifier is selected from one or more of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and polyepoxychloropropane-dimethylamine.
[0008] Preferably, the penetrant is selected from one or more of penetrant JFC-1, penetrant OEP-70, and BASF XP-90.
[0009] Preferably, the dyeing process parameters are as follows: using 3-4% (owf) indigo dye, 16-20 g / L sodium hydrosulfite, 8-12 g / L caustic soda, and 4-8 g / L leveling agent, dyeing is carried out at 35-45℃, the machine speed is 18-22 m / min, the number of dyeing passes is 6, after each dyeing pass, oxidation is carried out in the air for 2-3 minutes, and after the final dyeing pass, three countercurrent water washes are performed at a water temperature of 45-55℃.
[0010] Preferably, the leveling agent is selected from one or more of leveling agent 1815, leveling agent O-25, and leveling agent O-15.
[0011] Preferably, the sizing slurry is 75-85 g / L oxidized modified starch, which is dried at 110-130℃ after sizing and then wound.
[0012] This invention uses a cationic modified liquid to pretreat pure cotton warp yarns, stabilizing the surface of cotton fiber macromolecules with cationic active groups. Utilizing electrostatic adsorption, it significantly enhances the binding strength of indigo leuco dye to the fibers, effectively improving the defects of traditional denim warp yarns such as "severe ring dyeing and large amount of surface dye accumulation." It reduces the amount of surface dye generated from the source of dye adsorption and fixation. Simultaneously, the modified pretreatment does not clog fiber pores or damage the smooth texture of the fabric surface, perfectly matching the dark, non-distressed appearance requirements of business denim. It avoids the problems of fabric whitening and pattern damage caused by traditional heavy water washing to remove surface dye, providing a pre-existing guarantee for the fabric's basic anti-fading performance.
[0013] Preferably, the cotton double spandex core-spun yarn in step X2 consists of a cotton fiber outer sheath and a double spandex elastic yarn core layer; the specifications of the double spandex elastic yarns are 40D and 70D, the feeding mass ratio of 40D spandex yarn to 70D spandex yarn is 0.8-1.2:1, the pre-stretch ratio is controlled at 2.5-3.5 times and 3.0-4.0 times respectively, and the total mass proportion of double spandex elastic yarn in the entire core-spun weft yarn is 2-4%.
[0014] Preferably, the weft yarn has a count of 20 and a twist of 900-1100 twists / meter; the interlacing weave adopts a 3 / 1 right-hand twill weave structure, the warp and weft density of the greige fabric is 120-130 threads / inch × 80-90 threads / inch, and the greige fabric weight is 9.5-11 oz; the weft yarn is steamed before winding at a temperature of 70°C for 30-50 minutes.
[0015] This invention employs a dual-specification differentiated spandex parallel core-spun weft yarn structure, combined with different pre-stretch ratios and high-temperature steaming and setting processes. The fine denier 40D spandex provides soft and immediate stretch elasticity, ensuring comfortable and unrestricted wear, while the coarse denier 70D spandex possesses excellent resistance to plastic deformation, effectively resisting the loosening and bulging problems caused by prolonged sitting and repeated stretching. The two spandex fibers complement each other, completely avoiding the defects of traditional single spandex elastic yarns such as long-term fatigue loss of elasticity and rapid decline in fabric elasticity.
[0016] Preferably, the amount of desizing enzyme used in step X3 is 1.5-2.5 g / L, the pH value is 5.5-6.5, the temperature is 60-70℃, and the stacking time is 40-50 min; the singeing temperature is 850-950℃, and the machine speed is 60-70 m / min; the neutralizing water washing working solution contains 2-4 g / L acetic acid, and the water washing temperature is 40℃; the high-temperature cleaning is two hot water washes at 80℃; and the drying is drying at 110℃ until the fabric surface moisture content is ≤5%.
[0017] Preferably, the plasma treatment in step X4 is an air plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure, 250W, and 40℃ for 2-3 minutes; the pH of the elastic color-fixing solution is 5.5, and it consists of 40-50 g / L polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion, an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid, and the remainder deionized water; the speed of the two dips and two rolls is 30-35 m / min, and the roll pressure is 2.5-3.0 kg / cm². 2 The rolling allowance is 70-75%.
[0018] This invention introduces atmospheric pressure low-temperature air plasma directional activation treatment, which micro-etches the surface of fabric fibers to construct a nanoscale rough structure without damaging the fabric's strength or destroying its dark appearance. This significantly improves the fiber surface energy and wettability, while generating polar active groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. This process can effectively open the gaps between tightly packed yarns, solving the defect of traditional finishing that can only adhere to the fabric surface and cannot penetrate into the yarn interior, and significantly improving the adsorption capacity and penetration uniformity of the subsequent elastic color-fixing solution.
[0019] Preferably, the polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion described in step X5 is prepared by the following method: Y1. Polycarbonate diol was dehydrated under vacuum at 110℃ for 2 hours, cooled to 85℃, and isophorone diisocyanate and dibutyltin dilaurate were added and reacted for 3-4 hours. Then, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, 1,4-butanediol and trimethylolpropane were added and reacted for 2-3 hours. After cooling to 40℃, triethylamine was added to neutralize for 10-20 minutes. Deionized water was added and dispersed under stirring at 1200-1800 rpm. After adding ethylenediamine aqueous solution dropwise, the chain was extended for 1-2 hours to obtain an aqueous polyurethane dispersion. Y2. Glycidyl methacrylate, N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, divinylbenzene, sodium allyl hydroxypropyl sulfonate, sodium bicarbonate, and deionized water are mixed and emulsified at 4000-6000 rpm for 30-40 min to obtain a shell monomer pre-emulsion. Y3. Dilute the aqueous polyurethane dispersion to 8-10%, heat to 75°C, add potassium persulfate initiator accounting for 0.3-0.6% of the total mass of the shell monomer preemulsion, and uniformly add the shell monomer preemulsion over 4-5 hours to carry out seed emulsion polymerization. After the addition is complete, keep the reaction at the temperature for 2-3 hours to obtain the polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion.
[0020] Preferably, in step Y1, the mass ratio of polycarbonate diol, isophorone diisocyanate, dibutyltin dilaurate, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, 1,4-butanediol, trimethylolpropane, triethylamine, ethylenediamine aqueous solution, and deionized water is 55-65:20-24:0.05-0.15:2-5:1.8-2.6:0.6-1:2.5-3.5:15-21:110-130; and the mass concentration of the ethylenediamine aqueous solution is 8-12 wt%.
[0021] Preferably, the mass ratio of glycidyl methacrylate, N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, divinylbenzene, sodium allyl hydroxypropyl sulfonate, sodium bicarbonate, and deionized water in step Y2 is 8-12:3-5:10-15:4-6:1-2:0.5-1:0.1-0.3:60-80.
[0022] Preferably, the mass ratio of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion to the shell monomer preemulsion in step Y3 is 1:0.8-1.5.
[0023] This invention provides a polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion. By embedding the nanoemulsion into fiber gaps and penetrating into the yarn, it is initially anchored by intermolecular forces. The epoxy groups and N-hydroxymethyl active groups enriched in the emulsion shell undergo direct ring-opening and bonding with the hydroxyl groups of the cotton fibers during subsequent finishing processes. The N-hydroxymethyl groups undergo thermally induced self-dehydration condensation crosslinking at high temperatures, thereby forming a crosslinked protective film in the fiber's internal pores and surface. On one hand, the crosslinked film completely encapsulates and seals residual free indigo dye that cannot be washed away from the fiber surface and yarn gaps, restricting the dissolution and migration of dye during washing and friction. On the other hand, the crosslinked bonds anchor the protective film entirely to the fiber matrix, effectively preventing the color-fixing auxiliaries from detaching and becoming ineffective, achieving long-lasting color locking. Meanwhile, the high elongation polycarbonate polyurethane core of the emulsion forms a flexible and elastic protective network after curing, which covers cotton fibers and dual-specification spandex filaments. This effectively buffers external force stretching and friction loss, inhibits spandex thermal aging and plastic deformation, and thus maintains the fabric's uniform and stable micro-elasticity, giving the fabric both long-lasting colorfastness and stable micro-elasticity.
[0024] Preferably, the setting temperature of the stretching and setting in step X5 is 150-160℃, the machine speed is 35-45m / min, the hot air circulation speed is 10-15m / s, the time is 100-150s, and the setting liquid used for setting consists of 18-22g / L softener, 2.5-3.5g / L phenolic antioxidant, 1.5-2.5g / L anti-slip agent, and the balance deionized water.
[0025] Preferably, the softener is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol PEG-6000, polyethylene glycol PEG-600, and softener SG-100.
[0026] Preferably, the phenolic antioxidant is selected from one or more of antioxidant 1098, antioxidant 245, and antioxidant 330.
[0027] Preferably, the antislip agent is selected from one or more of antislip agent YZ-82, antislip agent LT-ZY012, and antislip agent SSG300.
[0028] Preferably, the pre-shrinking process uses a rubber blanket pre-shrinking machine with a warp shrinkage rate of 3-4% and a machine speed of 30-35 m / min.
[0029] Finally, this invention utilizes stretching and setting to transform the physically adsorbed nano-protective film into a more stable cured film, significantly improving its water resistance and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, by combining it with mechanical pre-shrinking treatment using a rubber blanket, the potential shrinkage stress of the cotton fibers is released in advance, further stabilizing the fabric's shape and appearance quality.
[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention creatively provides a polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion, which differs from ordinary single-component additives that are simply compounded, only adhere to the surface, and are prone to detachment and failure. This invention forms a multi-level anti-fading mechanism of base chemical bond color fixation + internal and external double-encapsulation color locking. Specifically, pre-cationic modification makes the inside and surface of cotton fibers positively charged, firmly adsorbing and bonding the indigo dye leuco form to the inside of the fiber from the source, reducing free floating color. Then, plasma etching is used to construct micropores on the fiber surface and generate a large number of hydroxyl and carboxyl active groups, breaking the dense structure of the fabric. This allows the nanoemulsion particles to be deeply embedded in the fiber gaps and penetrate into the yarn. They are initially anchored by intermolecular forces and form a cross-linked protective film in the fiber pores and on the surface. Finally, shaping and pre-shrinking treatment effectively endow the fabric with the dual properties of anti-fading and stable micro-elasticity.
[0031] This invention provides a method for preparing business denim fabric. Through a process of "reducing floating color at the source - pretreatment to clean the substrate - plasma activation - core-shell emulsion film formation to lock in color and protect elasticity - curing and stabilizing", the fabric achieves excellent anti-fading performance and stable micro-elasticity without using heavy washing and bleaching processes that would damage its business appearance. This method has certain application prospects. Detailed Implementation

[0044] Comparative Example 3 Compared with Example 1, the difference is that a 70D spandex core layer is used instead of a double spandex elastic yarn core layer, while other conditions remain the same as in Example 1.
[0045] Comparative Example 4 Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the plasma treatment in step X4 is removed, while the other conditions remain the same as in Example 1.
[0046] Comparative Example 5 Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the polycarbonate diol in step Y1 is replaced with a polyether diol, while the other conditions remain the same as in Example 1.
[0047] Comparative Example 6 Compared with Example 1, the difference is that, keeping other conditions unchanged, an equal amount of polyurethane / acrylate composite emulsion is used to replace the polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion. The preparation method of the polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion is to eliminate the seed emulsion polymerization step in the original preparation process of polyurethane / acrylate core-shell composite nanoemulsion, and to simply and rapidly stir and physically blend the aqueous polyurethane dispersion with the acrylate emulsion of the same composition to obtain the blended composite emulsion.
[0048] Comparative Example 7 Compared with Example 1, the difference is that an equal amount of TY2-17 turquoise blue fixing agent (padding dosage of 45 g / L) was used instead of the elastic fixing solution, while other conditions remained the same as in Example 1.
