TREATMENT OF THPC FLAME-RESISTANT FAB- RICS WITH STRONG MINERAL ACIDS T IM- PROVE THEIR TEAR STRENGTH AND PROD- UCTS PRGDUCED THEREBY Thomas D. Miles, Southboro, and Francis A. Hoffman,
Millis, Mass., and Armando C. Delasanta, Woonsocket, R.I., assignors to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army No Drawing. Filed Mar. 27, 1959, Ser. No. 802,579
14 Claims. (Cl. 8116) (Granted under Title 35, U.S. Code (1952), see. 266) The invention described herein, if patented, may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment to us of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to a method of improving the tear strength of cellulosic fabrics which have been rendered flame resistant by impregnation with tetrakis-hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride (THPC).
It is known that treatment of cotton fabrics and other cellulosic fabrics (e.g. linen fabrics), with THPC imparts a large degree of flame resistance to the treated fabrics. However, this desirable effect is largely offset by a marked decrease in tear strength, which greatly decreases the military and other utility of the flame-resistant fabrics thus produced.
We have now discovered a simple process whereby the tear strength of THPC-treated cellulosic fabrics can be greatly improved without substantially reducing their flame resistance.
More particularly, we have now found that a substantial and surprising improvement in the tear strength of THPC treated fabrics can be effected by partial hydrolysis for a short time in a dilute mineral acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, e.g. of about 110% concentration. This hydrolysis is performed as an aftertreatrnent, and is preferably carried out at normal fabric washing temperatures, e.g., at 75100 C., followed by substantially neutralizing the fabric.
The following examples illustrate the practice of our invention:
EXAMPLE I Carded sateen, cotton cloth (8.5 oz. weight) was treated with THPC as follows: a Solution A, containing 467 parts THPC, 450 parts water, and 84.5 parts triethanolamine, and Solution B, containing 267.8 parts methylol melamine resin, 278.5 parts urea, and 1265 parts water were prepared. The fabric was then passed through a solution made by combining Solution A and Solution B in a 1 to 1 ratio, using 2 dips and 2 nips to achieve a 60% wet pick-up. The treated fabric was oven dried at 85 C. for approximately 10 minutes followed by a 5-minute cure at 140 C. Partial hydrolysis was carried out, by immersing the fabric in a solution of 2% hydrochloric acid and 5% urea, at 85 C. for various lengths of time, as shown in Table I below. The partially hydrolyzed fabric was then neutralized by immersion in a solution of 1% sodium carbonate, at 38 C., for 5 minutes, rinsed and dried at 90 C. The following results were obtained in determining the tear strength of the treated fabric samples:
' atent Table I Tear Strength Fire Resistance (lbs.) Time of Hydrolysis (minutes) After After Char Warp Filling Flame Glow Length (sec (see) (in.)
0 untreated (no THPC)... 9. 6 11.7 0 treated (THPC) 4.1 3. 7 0 1. 6 3. 3 ltreated (THPC) 7.1 7.1 O 0 3.5 2 treated (THPC) 6. 4 6. 8 0 0.7 3. 7 3 treated (THPC). 5. 8 5. 4 0 0.7 3. 2 4 treated (THPO) 6.8 7.5 0 1.2 3.8 5 treated (THPC) 6.0 7. 7 0 0.3 6.5
EXAMPLE II Carded sateen (8.5 oz. wt.) was treated with the standard THPC formulation as described in Example I except that plant equipment was used. The tear strength of the THPC treated fabric was 6.6 lbs. in the warp and 5.4 lbs. in the filling. This treatment was followed by a cold Water rinse and drying at C. The tear strength of the partially hydrolyzed and neutralized fabric was again determined and was found to have risen to 8.9 lbs. in the warp and 8.5 lbs. in the filling, which represents a substantial improvement. The fabric retained its flame resistance, and was resistant to subsequent Water leaching.
EXAMPLE III EXAMPLE IV Example II was repeated with the use of a 2% hydrochloric acid solution, without urea, for the partial hydrolysis of the dried THPC-treated fabric. The results summerized in Table II, below, were obtained in determining the tear strength of fabric samples treated in accordance with this example:
Table II Tear Strength (lbs) Time of Hydrolysis (minutes) Warp Filling Untreated (no THPC) 11.6 i 12. 5 0 treated (THPC) 5. 3 5. 5 2 treated (THPC) 7. 3 7. 3 4 treated (THPOL. 7. 0 7. 8
' Laundering tests of the treated samples showed that fire resistance of the treated samples was retained through up to 9 launderingcyeles.
g It will'thus be seen that by the use of our method. of
after-treating a THPC-impregnated flame-resistant fabric with a strong mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid to effect a partial hydrolysis of the fabric,its tear strength is materially improved. Prior to our invention, it was not possible to use a THPC treated cellulosic fabric for I any purpose for which tear strength is important. While our invention does not completely restore the tear strength of the THPC treated fabric to the equivalent of that of the untreated (i.e. not flameproofed) fabric, it does improve the tear strength characteristics of the THPC- treated fabric to such an extent that it can be used as a tent fabric, tarpaulin, or other similar military or civilian textile item, for purposes where both flame strength and a degree of tear resistance are required. Thus, we have effected an acceptable and practical compromise between the high tear strength of a non-flameproofed cellulosic fabric, and the desirable flame resistance characteristics of a cellulosic fabric whose tear strength has been substantially reduced, however, by a fiame-resistance-imparting THPC treatment.
We are of course aware that we are not the first to treat cellulosic fabrics, such as cotton fabrics, with hydrochloric or other mineral acids. However, such treatments of the prior art are for an entirely different purpose, namely tomodify the appearance and feel of a nonflameproofed cotton fabric (parchmentizing) and such treatments have no effect on the tear strength of a chemically untreated cotton fabric. On the other hand, we believe ourselves to be the first to have discovered the beneficial effect of a hydrochloric acid or other mineral acid after-treatment of a THPC-impregnated flame-resistant fabric, so as to restore a large part of the loss of tear strength sufiered by the fabric by reason of the THPC treatment.
Without confining ourselves to any particular theory on which to base the efficiency of our invention, we postulate that the partial hydrolysis of the cellulose molecules effected by the hydrochloric acid (or other mineral acid) treatment counteracts the adverse eifect on the tear strength of the cellulosic fibers exerted by the bonding of the flameresistance-imparting impregnant.
It will of course be apparent to those skilled in the art that the operating conditions described in our foregoing specification and examples may be varied in a number of details without departing from the spirit of our invention. We thus intend to include any such changes and modifications within the scope of our invention, and to that end define our invention by the appended claims.
