Process for dyeing a textile substrate containing residual oligomers
Abstract
A process for dyeing a textile substrate containing residual oligomers includes the steps of: a) attaching the textile substrate on a mounting carrier to constitute a substrate-loaded carrier which is to be subjected to supercritical dyeing in a dyeing autoclave; and b) overlying the textile substrate with a micro-porous film which includes pores having a pore size such that when the textile substrate is dyed in the dyeing autoclave, a dye-containing supercritical fluid is allowed to pass through the micro-porous film to permit the textile substrate to be dyed while the residual oligomers entrained in the supercritical fluid are retained by the micro-porous film.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A process for dyeing a textile substrate containing residual oligomers, comprising the steps of:
a) attaching the textile substrate on a mounting carrier to constitute a substrate-loaded carrier which is to be subjected to supercritical dyeing in a dyeing autoclave; and b) overlying the textile substrate of the substrate-loaded carrier with a micro-porous film which includes pores having a pore size such that when the textile substrate is dyed in the dyeing autoclave, a dye-containing supercritical fluid is allowed to pass through the micro-porous film to permit the textile substrate to be dyed while the residual oligomers entrained in the supercritical fluid are retained by the micro-porous film.
2 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the pore size of the pores of the micro-porous film is smaller than a particle size of the residual oligomers.
3 . The process according to claim 2 , wherein the pore size of the pores of the micro-porous film is in a range from 0.1 μm to 1.0 μm.
4 . The process according to claim 3 , wherein the pore size of the pores of the micro-porous film is in a range from 0.2 μm to 0.8 μm.
5 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the micro-porous film has a thickness in a range from 10 mm to 90 mm.
6 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the micro-porous film is made from a polymeric material.
7 . The process according to claim 6 , wherein the polymeric material is polytetrafluoroethylene.
8 . The process according to claim 6 , wherein the polymeric material is polyurethane.
9 . The process according to claim 6 , wherein the polymeric material is polypropylene.
10 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the textile substrate is made from a polyester material.
11 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the dye-containing supercritical fluid includes a disperse dye.
12 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein in step a), the mounting carrier is tubular-shaped, and the textile substrate is wound on the tubular-shaped mounting carrier around an axis.
13 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the dye-containing supercritical fluid includes supercritical carbon dioxide.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
