Description
[0001] Digital printing techniques will become increasingly
important in the future in the textile area as well as in the
nontextile area.
[0002] Changed market expectations in conventional textile printing
demand more flexibility in design, color and delivery time. Digital
inkjet technology is the answer. By making it possible to print
directly from the computer via printing nozzles without the need to
prepare printing screens, the new technology improves printing
process flexibility, efficiency and environmental performance. It
provides substantially integrated operations, shortens printing
times and meets the demand for rapid reaction to market
developments and for fewer intermediate stages in the production
process.
[0003] The inkjet printing process is usually carried out using
aqueous inks, which are sprayed as small droplets directly onto the
substrate. There is a continuous form of the process, in which the
ink is pressed piezoelectrically through a nozzle at a uniform rate
and deflected onto the substrate by an electric field, depending on
the pattern to be produced, and there is an uninterrupted inkjet or
drop-on-demand process, in which the ink is expelled only where a
colored dot is to appear. The latter form of the process employs
either a piezoelectric crystal or a heated cannula (bubble or
thermal jet process) to exert pressure on the ink system and so
eject an ink droplet. These techniques are described in Text. Chem.
Color, volume 19 (8), pages 23 ff and volume 21 pages 27 ff.
[0004] This highly sensitive microtechnology requires the
development of tailored dye preparations (inks) meeting, for
example, high requirements with regard to purity, particle size,
viscosity, surface tension, conductivity, physico-chemical
stability, thermophysical properties, the pH, the absence of foam,
color strength, fastness level and stability in storage.
Commercially available reactive dyes in the form of their powder,
granular or liquid formulations of the kind used for conventional,
analog textile printing contain significant electrolyte quantities,
dustproofing agents and standarizers which lead to massive problems
in inkjet printing. On the other hand, dye inks as used for
nontextile materials, for example paper, wood, plastics, ceramics,
etc. provide only unsatisfactory results with regard to ease of
application and print color yield and fastnesses on textile
material.
[0005] The European patent applications EP-A 0 886 000 and EP-A 0
885 998, EP 0 620 116, EP-A 0 606 777, DE-A 4417718, DE-A 4417719
describe dye inks containing fiber-reactive dyes. These dye inks
have some application weaknesses, for example unsatisfactory dye
ink stability or low dye yield owing to insufficient interaction of
the dyes from the ink with the fiber. The European patent
specification EP-A 0 602 885 describes sulfolane-containing dye
inks for the nontextile area which are not suitable for textile
application. Consequently, there is a demand for novel printing
inks for the inkjet process with fiber-reactive dyes that have
improved properties, especially application properties.
[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide printing
inks that do not have the abovementioned disadvantages.
[0007] It has now been found that, surprisingly, aqueous printing
inks containing sulfolane, which does not impair the reactivity of
reactive dyes and at the same time substantially prevents nozzle
cloggage, one or more reactive dyes and a buffer system ensuring
the functionality of the reactive groups provide excellent
results.
[0008] The present invention accordingly provides aqueous textile
inkjet printing inks including one or more reactive dyes, sulfolane
and a buffer system and having a pH of not more than 7.0 when one
or more of said reactive dyes have reactive systems of the vinyl
sulfone series.

[0034] The printing inks of the invention may further include
customary additives, for example viscosity moderators to set
viscosities in the range from 1.5 to 40.0 mpa*s in a temperature
range from 20 to 50.degree. C. Preferred inks have a viscosity of
1.5 to 20 mPa*s and particularly preferred inks have a viscosity of
1.5 to 15 mPa*s.
[0035] Useful viscosity moderators include rheological additives,
for example: polyvinylcaprolactam, polyvinylpyrrolidone and their
copolymers polyetherpolyol, associative thickeners, polyurea,
polyurethane, sodium alginates, modified galactomannans,
polyetherurea, polyurethane, nonionic cellulose ethers.
[0036] As further additives the inks of the invention may include
surface-active substances to set surface tensions of 20 to 65 mN/m,
which are adapted if necessary as a function of the process used
(thermal or piezotechnology).
[0037] Useful surface-active substances include for example:
[0038] nonionic surfactants, butyidiglycol, 1,2-hexanediol.
[0039] The inks may further include customary additives, for
example substances to inhibit fungal and bacterial growth in
amounts of 0.01 to 1% by weight based on the total weight of the
ink.
[0040] The inks may be prepared in a conventional manner by mixing
the components in water.
[0041] The dye inks of the invention are useful in inkjet printing
processes for printing a wide variety of pretreated materials, such
as silk, leather, wool, polyamide fibers and polyurethanes, and
especially cellulosic fiber materials of any kind. Such fiber
materials are for example in the natural fiber cellulose fibers,
such as cotton, linen and hemp, and also pulp and regenerated
cellulose. The printing inks of the invention are also useful for
printing pretreated hydroxyl- or amino-containing fibers present in
blend fabrics, for example blends of cotton, silk, wool with
polyester fibers or polyamide fibers.
[0042] In contrast to conventional textile printing, where the
printing ink already contains all the fixing chemicals and
thickeners for a reactive dye, in inkjet printing the auxiliaries
have to be applied to the textile substrate in a separate
pretreatment step.
[0043] The pretreatment of the textile substrate, for example
cellulose and regenerated cellulose fibers and also silk and wool,
is effected with an aqueous alkaline liquor prior to printing. To
fix reactive dyes there is a need for alkali, for example sodium
carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, trisodium phosphate,
sodium silicate, sodium hydroxide, alkali donors such as, for
example, sodium trichloroacetate, sodium formate, hydrotropic
substances such as, for example, urea, reduction inhibitors, for
example sodium nitrobenzenesulfonates, and also thickeners to
prevent flowing of the motives when the printing ink is applied,
for example sodium alginates, modified polyacrylates or highly
etherified galactomannans.
[0044] These pretreatment reagents are uniformly applied to the
textile substrate in a defined amount using suitable applicators,
for example using a 2- or 3-roll pad, contactless spraying
technologies, by means of foam application or using appropriately
adapted inkjet technologies, and subsequently dried.
[0045] After printing, the textile fiber material is dried at 120
to 150.degree. C. and subsequently fixed.
[0046] The fixing of the inkjet prints prepared with reactive dyes
may be effected at room temperature or with saturated steam, with
superheated steam, with hot air, with microwaves, with infrared
radiation, with laser or electron beams or with other suitable
energy transfer techniques.
[0047] A distinction is made between one- and two-phase fixing
processes:
[0048] In one-phase fixing, the necessary fixing chemicals are
already on the textile substrate.
[0049] In two-phase fixing, this pretreatment is unnecessary.
Fixing only requires alkali, which, following inkjet printing, is
applied prior to the fixing process, without intermediate drying.
There is no need for further additives such as urea or
thickener.
[0050] Fixing is followed by the print after treatment, which is
the prerequisite for good fastnesses, high brilliance and an
impeccable white ground.
[0051] The prints prepared with the dye inks of the invention,
especially on cellulose fiber materials, have high color strength
and a high fiber-dye bond stability not only in the acidic but also
in the alkaline range, good lighffastness and very good weffastness
properties, such as wash, water, seawater, cross-dyeing and
perspiration fastnesses, and also good fastness to heat setting and
plating and crockfastness.
[0052] The examples which follow illustrate the invention. Parts
and percentages are by weight, unless otherwise stated. Parts by
weight relate to parts by volume as the kilogram relates to the
liter.
