Patent GB-562555-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of crepe and like effects in nylon fabrics
IPC: D06M13/152
Filed: 1942-12-07
Abstract: Crape and like effects are produced in a fabric containing nylon threads, which have been subjected to relatively mild treatment with formaldehyde, by treating the fabric with a shrinking agent of such a nature or concentration that the various yarns in the fabric are shrunk by different amounts.  The relatively mild treatment with formaldehyde is such that the intrinsic viscosity of the treated thread can be restored to its original value by treatment with dilute mineral or organic acid. The formaldehyde is preferably of 37-40 per cent concentration. The fabric may contain, in addition to formaldehyde-treated nylon threads, untreated nylon threads or threads of cellulose, silk, or other material.  The shrinking agent may be phenol, a cresol, xylenol, thymol, p-butyl phenol, resorcinol, catechol, pyrogallol, formic acid acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, or sulphuric acid or it may be a hot aqueous liquid or steam in presence or absence of a detergent.  Preferably it should be chosen so as to produce a differential shrinkage of at least 10-15 per cent.  After the treatment with shrinking agent, the fabric may be treated with a dilute mineral or organic acid.  In this way the intrinsic viscosity and the solubility of the formaldehyde-treated component of the fabric may be restored and in general the properties made to approximate those of untreated nylon threads.  In an example, a fabric is formed with a viscose warp and a nylon weft in which formaldehyde-treated threads alternate with untreated threads. Both sets of nylon threads are treated before weaving with water at 90-100 DEG  C.  One set is treated with formaldehyde solution at 90 DEG  C. for 75 minutes the bath containing ammonium chloride.  The treated threads are then washed free from formaldehyde.  After weaving the fabric is treated with a solution of formic acid of 60-70 per cent strength.  The fabric is washed and then dried in the loose state. Cr<\>aepe effects are obtained.  The shrinking treatment and the after-treatment with a dilute acid may be effected locally to produce pattern effects.  The treatment produces differential modification of the dyeing affinities so that pattern effects may be obtained by dyeing the treated fabric. Formaldehyde-treated cold-drawn polyhexamethylene adipamide yarn treated for a few minutes at 20 DEG C. with varying amounts of formic acid or phenol exhibits a shrinkage which at low concentrations of shrinking agent is small and increases only slightly with increase in the concentration, but which increases rapidly when the concentration of formic acid is increased beyond 60 per cent or the concentration of phenol is increased beyond 3 per cent.
