Abstract

In a deep dyeing process of a polyamide (PA) including Nylon 4, Nylon 6, Nylon 46, Nylon 66, Nylon 7, Nylon 8, Nylon 9, Nylon 610, Nylon 1010, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, Nylon 13, Nylon 612, Nylon 9T, Nylon 13, MC Nylon, Nylon MXD6, and all polyamide derivatives, and a polyolefin (PO) including ethylene copolymer, propylene copolymer and their derivatives, a compatibilizer precursor is used for modifying the polyamide and polyolefin of an amino, hydroxyl or epoxy group containing chemical, and then a reactive dye and/or an acid dye is used for dyeing the polyamide and polyolefin, so that the dyed polyamide and polyolefin have excellent dye fastness, light fastness, rubbing fastness, washing fastness and low-temperature dyeability to overcome the shortcomings of conventional nylon fibers including a poor dyeing effect, a non-level dyeing quality, a high dyeing temperature (100° C. to 120° C.) and a high cost.

Claims

1. A deep dyeing process comprising the steps of:

providing polyamide;

adding a compatibilizer precursor selected from a carboxyl polymer, an anhydride polymer, a hydroxyl polymer and a cyanate-based polymer in the polyamide, and using a mixing tool to perform a first modification at a predetermined temperature by a predetermined round-per-minute extrusion and mixing process;

adding an amino or hydroxyl group containing chemical in the first modified polyamide, and then using the mixing tool to perform a second modification at the predetermined temperature by the predetermined round-per-minute extrusion and mixing process; and

melt spinning the second modified polyamide, and then using a reactive dye and/or an acid dye for performing the dyeing process to complete the deep dyed polyamide.

3. The deep dyeing process as recited in claim 1, wherein the amino group containing chemical is one selected from ethylene diamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetra-ethylene pentamine, pentaethylenehexamine and hexaethyleneheptamine and their related derivatives.

5. The deep dyeing process as recited in claim 1, wherein the predetermined temperature is 150˜

250°

C.

6. A deep dyeing process comprising the steps of:

providing polyamide;

adding a compatibilizer precursor selected from a carboxyl polymer, an anhydride polymer, a hydroxyl polymer and a cyanate-based polymer and an amino or hydroxyl group containing chemical in the polyamide, and using a mixing tool to perform a modification at a predetermined temperature by a predetermined round-per-minute extrusion and mixing process; and

melt spinning the modified polyamide, and using a reactive dye and/or an acid dye for performing a dyeing process to complete deep dyeing the polyamide.

8. The deep dyeing process as recited in claim 6, wherein the amino group containing chemical is one selected from the collection of ethylene diamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetra-ethylene pentamine, pentaethylenehexamine and hexaethyleneheptamine and their related derivatives.
