Novel "water based" yellow dyeing system for finishing application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional leather dyes face challenges in achieving high PVC migration fastness and water spot resistance while maintaining light fastness and colour stability, with existing dyes often showing poor PVC migration fastness and high water solubility leading to decreased water spot resistance.
Innovation Solution
A dye composition comprising anionic azo yellow dye (C.I. acid yellow 42) and anionic metal-complex azo dye (C.I. acid yellow 232 or C.I. acid yellow 194) in combination with water-miscible organic solvents and water, optimized in specific weight ratios to enhance PVC migration and water spot resistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional leather dyes with high water solubility are used, then good dyeing performance is achieved, but water spot resistance decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines anionic azo yellow dye and anionic metal-complex azo dye in a water-miscible organic solvent system to create a composite dye composition that achieves both high water solubility for good dyeing performance and high water spot resistance, resolving the contradiction between these two properties
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the weight ratio parameters of the dye components (0.1:1 to 1:1 ratio of anionic azo yellow dye to anionic metal-complex azo dye) and solvent composition to achieve the optimal balance between water solubility and water spot resistance, demonstrating parameter changes to resolve the contradiction
2Ease of operation
If conventional spray dyes are used, then application ease is improved, but PVC migration fastness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite dye system combining anionic azo yellow dye and anionic metal-complex azo dye in a water-miscible organic solvent, which maintains spray application ease while achieving high PVC migration fastness (3-5 rating), resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes the composition parameters including organic solvent content (5.0-60.0% by weight) and water content (30.0-75.0% by weight) to achieve the right balance between sprayability and migration resistance, demonstrating how parameter changes resolve the contradiction
