Abstract

Abstract This invention provides a method of dyeing a fibrous structure containing cellulose fibers. The method includes the steps of impregnating the fibrous structure with an alkaline compound in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the fibrous structure and with a modifying agent, the molar ratio of the alkaline compound to the modifying agent being 0.1 to 2.0, and the modifying agent being a compound of the formula <IMAGE> where X is -H, -NO2, -CH3, or -SO2Cl; effecting chemical modification of the impregnated fibrous structure by heat-treating it under steaming or dry heating conditions; and then dyeing the modified fibrous structure with a dye such as a disperse dye.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 173 words
A method of dyeing a fiber structure composed of a cellulose fiber or a blend of cellulose fiber and a synthetic fiber which comprises the steps of impregnating the fiber structure with an alkaline compound in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the fiber structure and with a modifying agent, the molar ratio of the alkaline compound to the modifying agent being 0.1 to 2.0, and the modifying agent being a compound of the formula ##STR9## where X is --H, --NO 2 , --CH 3 , or --SO 2 Cl; effecting chemical modification of the impregnated fiber structure by heat-treating it under steaming conditions at a temperature of from about 100° to 180° C. or dry heating conditions at a temperature of from about 60° to 180° C. for a time period not exceeding 20 minutes; and then dyeing the modified fiber structure with a dye selected from the group consisting of a disperse dye, an oil-soluble dye, a mordant dye, and a basic dye.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 173 words
A method of dyeing a fiber structure composed of a cellulose fiber or a blend of cellulose fiber and a synthetic fiber which comprises the steps of impregnating the fiber structure with an alkaline compound in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the fiber structure and with a modifying agent, the molar ratio of the alkaline compound to the modifying agent being 0.1 to 2.0, and the modifying agent being a compound of the formula ##STR9## where X is --H, --NO 2 , --CH 3 , or --SO 2 Cl; effecting chemical modification of the impregnated fiber structure by heat-treating it under steaming conditions at a temperature of from about 100° to 180° C. or dry heating conditions at a temperature of from about 60° to 180° C. for a time period not exceeding 20 minutes; and then dyeing the modified fiber structure with a dye selected from the group consisting of a disperse dye, an oil-soluble dye, a mordant dye, and a basic dye.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein, prior to the chemical modification, the fiber structure is first impregnated with the alkaline compound and then with the modifying agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein, prior to the chemical modification, the fiber structure is first impregnated with the modifying agent and then with the alkaline compound.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein, prior to the chemical modification, the fiber structure is first impregnated with the alkaline compound, then with the modifying agent, and again with the alkaline compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 39 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the alkaline compound or the modifying agent or both are microcapsulated and, prior to the chemical modification, the fiber structure is simultaneously impregnated with the alkaline compound and the modifying agent.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 38 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the chemical modification is effected by treating the impregnated fiber structure with normal-pressure saturated steam or superheated steam at a temperature of from 100° to 180° C.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 35 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the chemical modification is effected by treating the impregnated fiber structure with high-pressure saturated steam at a temperature of from 100° to 140° C.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 31 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the chemical modification is effected by baking the impregnated fiber structure at a temperature of from 60° to 180° C.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 20 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the modified fiber structure is dyed by direct printing.
Claim 11
Independent Claim 20 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the modified fiber structure is dyed by transfer printing.
Claim 12
Independent Claim 28 words
A method as claimed in any one of claims 1-5 wherein the impregnated fiber structure is heat-treated in the presence of a compound capable of inactivating hydrogen chloride.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method as claimed in claim 11 wherein the compound capable of inactivating hydrogen chloride is ammonia or an ammonium salt.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 47 words
A method as claimed in claim 11 wherein the compound capable of inactivating hydrogen chloride is a metallic soap of the formula M(OOCR).sub.2 or Al(OOCR).sub.2 OH where M is a metal such as Ca, Ba, Zn, Sn, Mg, Cd, or Pb and R is an alkyl group.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 69 words
