We studies the mechanical properties of the viscose filament yarns and spun rayon fabrics formalized under hydrochloric acid catalyst, when the concentration of formaldehyde and catalyst in their treating baths were changed, and also various non-ionic surface active agents in them were added. Viscose filament yarns and spun rayon fabrics were immersed in each treating bath, squeezed, and dry-heated 10 min. at 120°C.
1. The effects of formaldehyde concentration.
The concentration of formaldehyde in their treating baths were varied from 3 to 26 gr. in 100 cc. and were respectively added HCl coresponded to 5% by weight of their formaldehyde contents. The weight after treatment naturally increased in proportion as the increase of concentration of formaldehyde in their treating baths, but the effective reaction rates of folmaldehyde in each case was nearly constant. On the mechanical properties of treated fabrics, the crease resistances were markedly improved, and their tensile strength and elongations were lowered as formaldehyde contents are increased. However, on the treated filament yarns, their dry strength is lowered and their wet strength, crease resistances and elastic recovery are all increased.
2. The addition of non-ionic surface active agents.
The tested non-ionic surface active agents are 6, namely, lauryl-polyglycol ether (C
12H
25O(C
2H
4O)
x-1C
2H
4OH;
x=6, 9, 20), oleylpolyglycol ether (C
18H
35O(C
2H
4O)
x-1C
2H
4OH;
x=10, 15), and octadecylpolyglycol ether (C
18H
37O(C
2H
4O)
x-1C
2H
4OH;
x=15). These were added respectively 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 gr. in 100 cc., into their treating baths, which contained H•CHO 12 gr. in 100 cc. and HCl 0.1 gr. in 100 cc.
In the treated spun rayon fabrics, the addition of non-ionic surface active agents remarkably improved, generally, the softening, lubricant and resilient handle. And, little connection with the sorts of hydrocarbon chain and the mole numbers of polyoxyethylene, both constructing those agents, the non-ionic surface active agents are of use to slightly protect from decrease of strengthes and to improve the crease resistance on the treated yarns and fabrics, but have no effect on their elongations.
