Description

Color paste composition, printed fabric, and method for producing deinked printed fabric

[0001] The present invention relates to a color paste composition, a printed fabric, and a method for producing deinked printed fabric. This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-217972, filed on December 25, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] Advertising flags (nobori flags), which are rectangular pieces of fabric tied to a pole, are used as promotional tools in storefronts of various businesses, primarily restaurants. Advertising flags are printed with a color paste composition.

[0003] Patent Literature 1 discloses a pigment printing agent containing titanium oxide (B) and a polymer (A) obtained by polymerizing polymerizable monomers including a polymerizable monomer (a1) having a carboxyl group and a polymerizable monomer (a2) having a hydrolyzable silyl group, wherein the polymer (A) alone produces a film with an elongation of 1,200 to 5,000% and a 1,000% modulus of 0.1 MPa or greater. It is disclosed that this pigment printing agent, even though it contains titanium oxide as a pigment, does not impair the original texture of the fabric when printed on the fabric, and exhibits excellent wash resistance, abrasion resistance, and the like of the printed area. Furthermore, the dye-overlay color area exhibits excellent wash resistance, making it possible to obtain printed fabrics with a natural texture and reduced color fading during washing, etc.

[0004] International Publication No. 2016 / 190208

[0005] The usage period of promotional flags is generally about half a month to half a year, and there is a problem that they are turned over quickly and the amount of waste is large. In recent years, environmental considerations have become more important, and there is a desire to recycle promotional flags. Therefore, from the perspective of recycling promotional flags, it is preferable that color paste compositions have excellent deinking properties. However, in conventional color paste compositions such as those described in Patent Document 1, the focus is on maintaining fastness against friction during wear and washing, and emphasis is placed on adhesion to fibers, so there is room for improvement in the deinking properties of color paste compositions.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a color paste composition that has good washing resistance and abrasion resistance as well as good deinking properties, a printed fabric printed with the color paste composition, and a method for producing a deinked printed fabric obtained by deinking the printed fabric.

[3] The color paste composition according to [1] or [2], wherein the content of the deinking fixing agent is 1.0 mass% or more and 20.0 mass% or less, based on the total amount of the color paste composition. [4] The color paste composition according to any one of [1] to [3], further containing a crosslinking agent. [5] A printed fabric printed with the color paste composition according to any one of [1] to [4]. [6] A method for producing a deinked printed fabric, comprising a deinking step of mixing the printed fabric according to [5], a deinking agent, and a contact body, and bringing the contact body into contact with the printed fabric to apply an external force, thereby obtaining a deinked printed fabric.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a color paste composition that has good washing resistance and abrasion resistance as well as good deinking properties, a printed fabric printed with the color paste composition, and a method for producing a deinked printed fabric obtained by deinking the printed fabric.

This HLB value can be determined experimentally by comparing the emulsifying power of various surfactants, but can typically be calculated using the following formula 1.

If the surfactant content is equal to or less than the above-mentioned preferable upper limit, foaming is less likely to occur, making the paper easier to wash with water.

[0105] For example, the content of the surfactant is preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less, more preferably 0.05% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less, relative to the total amount of the deinking agent.

From the viewpoint of washability, the water-washing step may be carried out while applying an external force.

[0138] [Laundry Fastness] The laundry fastness was measured in accordance with JIS L 0844:2011. Specifically, the laundry fastness was measured by placing five test printed fabrics in an accelerator (Laboratory Tester, LA-440, manufactured by Uenoyama Kiko Co., Ltd.), adding 100 mL of detergent water (a mixture of 200 g of Marcel needle soap (manufactured by Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.), 80 g of sodium bicarbonate (manufactured by Tosoh Co., Ltd.), and 3,720 g of water). The test fabrics were then washed at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes in a sealed space with a bellows-shaped cylinder surface. After the washing treatment, the test printed fabrics were removed and rinsed with 1,000 mL of tap water. The test printed fabrics were then dried at 50°C for 5 minutes using a heater, and the laundry fastness was then confirmed. The evaluation criteria were in accordance with JIS L 0804 2004, Grace Scale for Discoloration and Fading. The evaluation was made on a 9-point scale, with a higher value indicating stronger printing and better washing fastness. The results are shown in Tables 3 to 5.

[0139] [Rubbing Fastness (Dry) and Rubbing Fastness (Wet)] Rubbing fastness was measured in accordance with JIS L 0849:2013. Specifically, the test printed fabric was attached to a Gakushin-type rub fastness tester (RT-200, manufactured by Daiei Kagaku Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) using double-sided tape, cotton calico was attached to the jig, and 30 rectangular printed surfaces were rubbed with a force of 2 N for 3 minutes and 20 seconds, 100 times back and forth. The degree of color transfer and the degree of rubbing of the printed area were then confirmed. The wet rubbing test was performed by wetting the cotton calico with water and setting the pickup rate to 100%. The following test printed fabric was used: Polyester pongee (T. Pongee HR white, weight: 57.0 g / m ２A test print was made using a 135-mesh flat screen (2 cm x 4 cm rectangular pattern, 135 mesh, polyester screen, Sanko Co., Ltd.) and a squeegee (chloroprene rubber, hardness 70, accessory to the MH-5 model) with a test dyeing paste. The resulting fabric was dried at 100°C for 1 minute in a dryer (Tsujii Senki Kogyo Co., Ltd., MH-5 model) and then heat-treated at 150°C for 2 minutes in a dryer (Tsujii Senki Kogyo Co., Ltd., MH-5 model) to obtain a printed fabric. The test print was then cut out so that 5 x 6 rectangular patterns of 2 cm x 4 cm remained on each sheet. The evaluation criteria were in accordance with "JIS L 0805 2005, Gray Scale for Staining." The evaluation is made on a nine-point scale, with a higher value indicating stronger printing and better rub fastness.
