DYEING OF ACRYLIC FABRICS WITH BASIC (CATIONIC) DYES AN IMPROVED PAINTING METHOD FOR THIS PURPOSE Technical Area The invention relates to the textile industry, specifically the process of dyeing fabrics made from acrylic fibers with basic (cationic) dyes. It relates to a new dyeing method developed for painting. The invention relates to the treatment of fabrics, particularly those made from acrylic fibers, with basic (cationic) dyes. in dyeing, to enable the dyes to diffuse into the fibers It relates to a continuous dyeing method involving fixation in a thermosol oven. State of the Art Today, it is an indispensable raw material in many areas of the highly developed modern industry. Acrylic, a material with specific properties, is frequently used in the production of many products and different compounds. It is a material currently in use. Acrylic fibers and yarns and fabrics produced from these fibers. (weaving and / or knitting) historically primarily using basic (cationic) dyes. They are dyed. Since acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers, they are dyed with disperse dyes. Although it is possible, the targeted dark and bright coloring in applications Results cannot be obtained. Disperse dyes, nonionic and basic dyes also These are cationic dyes. Other dyes used in dyeing textile fibers. These substances are anionic in nature, and anionic dyes differ in their ionic structure. Therefore, they have no affinity (attraction) to acrylic fibers. Basic (cationic) dyes are the class of dyes that produce the brightest and most vibrant colors. Their use is limited to acrylic fibers. Yarns and fabrics made from acrylic fibers are basic. They can be dyed very dark and bright colors with (cationic) dyes. The dyeing process is done by drawing. according to the method, in batches in dyeing vats closed to the atmosphere This can be achieved. However, under dyeing conditions, the internal structure of acrylic fibers and Because the surface is negatively charged and basic dye molecules are positively charged, the fibers and dye A very strong electrostatic attractive force is formed between the molecules. This attraction Due to the force, the dyeing speed increases excessively, making it difficult to achieve even dyeing. This is why acrylic products are drawn with basic (cationic) paints. slowing down the painting speed under the painting conditions according to the method Temperature control and a retarder are required to slow down the dyeing speed in the technique. 2 The addition of a (retarder) chemical or a combination of temperature and retarder is used. Under dyeing conditions, the dyeing temperature is increased very slowly, to the point of boiling. The staining is carried out at a specific temperature and under controlled acidic pH conditions. Dyeing processes carried out according to the pull method use the dyeing machine. in specific weights and batches, depending on the capacity of the boiler This should be done in batches, independently of each other. As a result, errors known as lot differences or batch coloring differences occur, and in each batch It is not possible to obtain the same color, especially with large quantities of fabric. According to the drawing method, painting in successive batches in this discontinuous manner is the same. This leads to problems such as the inability to obtain the desired color. When acrylic fabrics are dyed in batch processes using the exhaust method, they are released into the atmosphere. They are found in the form of fabric ropes inside closed jet dyeing machines, and this As a result, under dyeing conditions, fabrics develop what is called a longitudinal creasing mark, and Traces appear where the dyes have not fully penetrated. Acrylic fabrics These errors can be encountered in batch dyeing processes according to the exhaustion method. Therefore, dyeing in yarn form is primarily used in the production of colored acrylic products. These yarns are then used to create fabrics through weaving and / or knitting processes. It is transformed into this form. This involves additional wet processing after weaving or knitting. This leads to the emergence of problems. Due to these problems, in technology... Acrylic products in fabric form and dyeing vats according to the exhaustion method. The dyeing process is not carried out under practical industrial conditions and is primarily for yarn. This type of dyeing is preferred. Wet processing problems occur with dyeing this yarn. This leads to problems such as these.

It is related to the method. In this method, dye, water, plasticizer, smooth a dyeing solution containing dyeing agent and color fixing agent The acrylic fiber is prepared in this solution at a temperature of 80-85 °C for 40-60 minutes. It is painted and then undergoes post-processing. However, in the document The text does not specifically mention dyeing with basic dyes. Another application, numbered US5741338A, concerns synthetic fibers, particularly acrylic fibers. It relates to a method for dyeing with basic dyes. In this method... Dyeing solution for making synthetic fibers receptive to basic dyes. 3 It is chemically modified. Here, the dyeing solution is a cationic dye. and contains a quaternized amidoamine compound. However, the document mentions hot air, especially in thermosol ovens, from the fixation process It is not mentioned.
