6 Claims. (Cl. 8-31) The present application is a continuation of S.N. 251,- 487, filed Jan. 15, 1963, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a process for improving the light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines.
In general, brilliant shades are obtained by basic and cation dyestuffs, but the light fastness of the dyed products is not satisfactory. Accordingly, when above dyestuffs are used, dyed synthetic fibres and other articles formed of polymeric olefines possess extremely low light fastness, so that these dyestuffs cannot be used in practice.
As the result of extensive investigations to improve the light fastness of polymeric olefines which are dyed with basic and cation dyestuffs and to bring these dyed polymeric olefines into practical use, it has now been found that the addition of iodine into a dyebath or the aftertreatment of dyed polymeric olefines with iodine or with hydrogen iodide provides a marked improvement in the light fastness of polymeric olefines which are dyed with above dyestuffs and also acid dyestuffs.
According to the feature of the present invention, a process for improving the light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines comprises dyeing the polymeric olefines in a dye bath containing iodine or hydrogen iodide as an auxiliary agent.
According to the another feature of the present invention, therefore, a process for improving the light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines comprises after-treating the dyed polymeric olefines with iodine or hydrogen iodide.
The method for improving the dyeing properties of polyolefine fibres by treating them with iodine is known, but in the present invention iodine is used for improving the light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines which are dyed with basic, cation or acid dyestuffs.
Consequently, the present invention is different from the prior method for the pre-treatment of polymeric olefines with iodine in that the object of the present invention is to improve the light fastness of the dyed product and the object of the prior method is to improve dyeability.
The synthetic fibres and other articles herein referred to as being formed of polymeric olefines included those produced of polyolefines alone, mixtures of polyolefines and other polymers, mixtures of polyolefines and organic compounds having lower molecular weight, graft polymers based on polyolefines, and copolymers of polyolefines with other compounds.
Treatments with other halogens and halogenides except iodine and hydrogen iodide give little effect to improve the light fastness of polymeric olefines dyed with basic and cation dyestuffs. Further, treatments with other compounds which are known as lightproof agents such as benzophenone, benztriazol and their derivatives give also no effect to improve the light fastness of polymeric olefines dyed with basic, cation or acid dyestuffs.
Although the mechanism how the light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines treated with iodine or hydrogen iodide is improved is not clear, it may be considered that iodine or hydrogen iodide in said fibres or other articles absorbs energy of sunlight and prevent the decomposition of basic, cation dyestuffs, etc.
ice
In case iodine or hydrogen iodide is used as an auxiliary agent during dyeing process in the present invention, for example, synthetic fibres or other articles based on polymeric olefines are dyed in a bath containing requisite amounts of basic dyestuff and 05-15 of iodine based on the weight of fibres. In this case, iodine is previously dissolved with a suitable solvent, and then added to the dye bath. Dyeing is carried out at a given pH and 100 C. for 0.5-2 hours, and the dyed polymeric olefines obtained have very excellent light fastness.
In case dyed polymeric olefines are subjected to the after-treatment with iodine or hydrogen iodide in the present invention, for example, synthetic fibres or other articles formed of polymeric olefines dyed with basic or cation dyestuffs are treated in the bath, in which iodine or hydrogen iodide is dissolved in water, alcohol, chloro form or an aqueous solution of potassium iodide, at a temperature higher than room temperature for from several minutes to 2 hours and then rinsed sufliciently. Further, this treatment can be carried out in iodine or hydrogen iodide vapour.
The present invention can be applied in case the polymeric olefines are dyed with basic, cation or acid dyestuffs after chemical treatment, such as chlorination, sulfonation and acid and amine treatments.
The light fastness of dyed polymeric olefines subjected to the after-treatment is outstandingly superior into that of the untreated products. For example, if the light fastness of polymeric olefines dyed with basic dyestuffs is only grade 1 according to AATCC test when untreated, it becomes grade 4, 5, 6 or higher after being treated in accordance with one of the processes described above.
The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention, but they are not intended to limit it thereto.
EXAMPLE 1 Crystalline polypropylene material having an average molecular weight of 77,000 was blended with 3% by weight of octadecylamine and methylene bis-stearamide respectively and subsequently drawn at a draw ratio of 5 after being melt-spun at 240 C. The resulting fibre was treated with a bath of 20% hydrochloric acid solution at 100 C. for 30 min., neutralized with sodium carbonate solution and then rinsed with cold water sufficiently. The fibre, thus treated, was dyed in a weak alkaline bath containing the basic or cation dyestuffs described in Table I -at 100 C. for 60 min. After being treated in a bath containing 5% (based on the weight of fibres) of iodine dissolved in 10 g./l. aqueous potassium iodide solution at C. for 30 min., the dyed materials were rinsed sufficiently and then soaped.
The light fastness of the dyed materials after the above treatment with iodine was greatly improved in comparison with untreated materials as shown in Table I. The light fastness values in Table I are estimated by AATCC test using a Fade-Ometer.

The fibre thus obtained was dyed in a weak alkaline bath containing 5% (based on the weight of fibre) of iodine dissolved in g./l. of potassium iodide solution and basic and cation dyestuffs described in Table II at 100 C. for 60 min.
The light fastness of the materials thus dyed was greatly improved in comparison with materials dyed without the addition of iodine to the dye bath as shown in Table II. The light fastness values in Table II are estimated by AATCC test using a Fade-Ometer.
EXAMPLE 3 After being treated with solution containing calcium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid, polypropylene fibre was dyed in a weak alkaline bath containing basic or cation dyestuffs, as shown in Table III. The dyed material was subsequently treated in an aqueous solution of 5% of iodine (based on the weight of the fibres) and of potassium iodide (based on the weight of the fibres) at 90 C. for min., rinsed sufficiently and soaped.
The light fastness of the dyed materials, after being treated as described above, was greatly improved in comparison with untreated dyed materials as shown in Table III. The light fastness values in Table III are estimated by AATCC test using a Fade-Ometer.
