Application of Cellulose Ether Paste

1 Introduction

Since the advent of reactive dyes, sodium alginate (SA) has been the main paste for reactive dye printing on cotton fabrics.

Using the three types of cellulose ethers CMC, HEC and HECMC prepared in Chapter 3 as the original paste, they were applied to reactive dye printing respectively.

flower. The basic properties and printing properties of the three pastes were tested and compared with SA, and the three fibers were tested.

2 Experimental part

Test materials and drugs

Raw materials and drugs used in the test. Among them, reactive dye printing fabrics have been desizing and refining, etc.

A series of pre-treated pure cotton plain weave, density 60/10cm×50/10cm, yarn weaving 21tex×21tex.

Preparation of printing paste and color paste

Preparation of printing paste

For the four original pastes of SA, CMC, HEC and HECMC, according to the ratio of different solid content, under stirring conditions

Then, slowly add the paste into the water, continue stirring for a period of time, until the original paste is uniform and transparent, stop stirring, and place it on the stove

In a glass, let stand overnight.

Preparation of printing paste

First dissolve urea and anti-dyeing salt S with a small amount of water, then add reactive dyes dissolved in water, heat and stir in a warm water bath

After stirring for a period of time, add the filtered dye liquor to the original paste and stir evenly. Add dissolve until you start printing

Good sodium bicarbonate. The formula of color paste is: reactive dye 3%, original paste 80% (solid content 3%), sodium bicarbonate 3%,

Anti-contamination salt S is 2%, urea is 5%, and finally water is added to 100%.

printing process

Cotton fabric reactive dye printing process: preparation of printing paste → magnetic bar printing (at room temperature and pressure, printing 3 times) → drying (105℃, 10min) → steaming (105±2℃, 10min) → cold water washing → hot Washing with water (80℃)→soap boiling (soap flakes 3g/L,

100℃, 10min) → hot water washing (80℃) → cold water washing → drying (60℃).

Basic performance test of original paste

Paste rate test

Four original pastes of SA, CMC, HEC and HECMC with different solid contents were prepared, and Brookfield DV-Ⅱ

The viscosity of each paste with different solid content was tested by a viscometer, and the change curve of the viscosity with the concentration was the paste formation rate of the paste.

curve.

Rheology and Printing Viscosity Index

Rheology: MCR301 rotational rheometer was used to measure the viscosity (η) of the original paste at different shear rates.

The change curve of the shear rate is the rheological curve.

Printing viscosity index: The printing viscosity index is expressed by PVI, PVI = η60/η6, where η60 and η6 are respectively

The viscosity of the original paste measured by the Brookfield DV-II viscometer at the same rotor speed of 60r/min and 6r/min.

water retention test

Weigh 25g of the original paste into an 80mL beaker, and slowly add 25mL of distilled water while stirring to make the mixture.

It is mixed evenly. Take a quantitative filter paper with a length × width of 10cm × 1cm, and mark one end of the filter paper with a scale line, and then insert the marked end into the paste, so that the scale line coincides with the paste surface, and the time is started after the filter paper is inserted, and it is recorded on the filter paper after 30 minutes.

The height to which moisture rises.

4 Chemical Compatibility Test

For reactive dye printing, test the compatibility of the original paste and other dyes added in the printing paste,

That is, the compatibility between the original paste and the three components (urea, sodium bicarbonate and anti-staining salt S), the specific test steps are as follows:

(1) For the test of the reference viscosity of the original paste, add 25mL of distilled water to 50g of the original printing paste, stir evenly, and then measure the viscosity.

The obtained viscosity value is used as the reference viscosity.

(2) To test the viscosity of the original paste after adding various ingredients (urea, sodium bicarbonate and anti-staining salt S), put the prepared 15%

Urea solution (mass fraction), 3% anti-staining salt S solution (mass fraction) and 6% sodium bicarbonate solution (mass fraction)

25mL was added to 50g of original paste respectively, stirred evenly and placed for a certain period of time, and then measured the viscosity of the original paste. Finally, the viscosity will be measured

The viscosity values ​​were compared with the corresponding reference viscosity, and the percentage of the viscosity change of the original paste before and after adding each dye and chemical material was calculated.

Storage Stability Test

Store the original paste at room temperature (25°C) under normal pressure for six days, measure the viscosity of the original paste every day under the same conditions, and calculate the viscosity of the original paste after 6 days compared with the viscosity measured on the first day by formula 4-(1). The dispersion degree of each original paste is evaluated by the dispersion degree as an index

Storage stability, the smaller the dispersion, the better the storage stability of the original paste.

Slipping rate test

First dry the cotton fabric to be printed to a constant weight, weigh and record it as mA; then dry the cotton fabric after printing to a constant weight, weigh and record it

is mB; finally, the printed cotton fabric after steaming, soaping and washing is dried to constant weight, weighed and recorded as mC

Hand test

First, the cotton fabrics before and after printing are sampled as required, and then the phabrometer fabric style instrument is used to measure the handiness of the fabrics.

The hand feeling of the fabric before and after printing was comprehensively evaluated by comparing the three hand feeling characteristics of smoothness, stiffness and softness.

Color fastness test of printed fabrics

(1) Color fastness to rubbing test

Test in accordance with GB/T 3920-2008 “Color fastness to rubbing for color fastness test of textiles”.

(2) Color fastness test to washing

Test according to GB/T 3921.3-2008 “Color fastness to soaping of textiles color fastness test”.

, the viscosity of the four original pastes increased with the increase of solid content, but the paste-forming properties of the four original pastes were not the same, among which SA

The pasting property of CMC and HECMC is the best, and the pasting property of HEC is the worst.

It can be seen from Table 4.3 that the printing viscosity index of SA and HECMC is larger and the structural viscosity is smaller, that is, the printing original paste

Under the action of low shear force, the viscosity change rate is small, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of rotary screen and flat screen printing; while HEC and CMC

The printing viscosity index of CMC is only 0.526, and its structural viscosity is relatively large, that is, the original printing paste has a lower shear force.

Under the action, the viscosity change rate is moderate, which can better meet the requirements of rotary screen and flat screen printing, and can be suitable for rotary screen printing with higher mesh number.

The rate of change in viscosity varies greatly. Among them, the addition of urea can increase the viscosity of the original paste by about 5%, which may be

It is caused by the hygroscopic and puffing effect of urea; and the anti-staining salt S will also slightly increase the viscosity of the original paste, but it has little effect;

The addition of sodium bicarbonate significantly reduced the viscosity of the original paste, among which CMC and HEC decreased significantly, and the viscosity of HECMC/mPa·s
