Textiles conditions

Diethylene glycol usage is about 800 million lb/year in the United States. Major uses are unsaturated polyester resins (21%), polyurethane resins (21%), and antifreeze blending (10%). Other applications include use as raw materials for triethylene glycol (7%) and for morpholine (7%). Diethylene glycol is also used for dehydration of natural gas and in textile conditioning.

Oil that serves as a temporary or permanent component of a manufactured product. Aromatic process oils have good solvency characteristics their applications include proprietary chemical formulations, ink oils, and extenders in synthetic rubbers. Naphthenic process oils are characterized by low pour points and good solvency properties their applications include rubber compounding, printing inks, textile conditioning, leather tanning.

An important aspect of the mechanical properties of fibers concerns their response to time dependent deformations. Fibers are frequently subjected to conditions of loading and unloading at various frequencies and strains, and it is important to know their response to these dynamic conditions. In this connection the fatigue properties of textile fibers are of particular importance, and have been studied extensively in cycHc tension (23). The results have been interpreted in terms of molecular processes. The mechanical and other properties of fibers have been reviewed extensively (20,24—27). 

The mechanical properties of acryUc and modacryUc fibers are retained very well under wet conditions. This makes these fibers well suited to the stresses of textile processing. Shape retention and maintenance of original bulk in home laundering cycles are also good. Typical stress—strain curves for acryhc and modacryUc fibers are compared with wool, cotton, and the other synthetic fibers in Figure 2. 

Synthetic Fiber and Plastics Industries. In the synthetic fibers and plastics industries, the substrate itself serves as the solvent, and the whitener is not appHed from solutions as in textiles. Table 6 Hsts the types of FWAs used in the synthetic fibers and plastic industries. In the case of synthetic fibers, such as polyamide and polyester produced by the melt-spinning process, FWAs can be added at the start or during the course of polymerization or polycondensation. However, FWAs can also be powdered onto the polymer chips prior to spinning. The above types of appHcation place severe thermal and chemical demands on FWAs. They must not interfere with the polymerization reaction and must remain stable under spinning conditions. 

Advanced composites and fiber-reinforced materials are used in sailcloth, speedboat, and other types of boat components, and leisure and commercial fishing gear. A ram id and polyethylene fibers are currentiy used in conveyer belts to collect valuable offshore minerals such as cobalt, uranium, and manganese. Constmction of oil-adsorbing fences made of high performance fabrics is being evaluated in Japan as well as the constmction of other pollution control textile materials for maritime use. For most marine uses, the textile materials must be resistant to biodeterioration and to a variety of aqueous pollutants and environmental conditions. 

Textiles. Lecithin (0.2—0.5%) is used for emulsifying, wetting, softening, and conditioning especially in sizing and finishing. It imparts soft, smooth handle and also is used as a spray to reduce cotton (qv) dust. 

Many large chemical companies produce amino resins and the raw materials needed, ie, formaldehyde, urea, and melamine. Some companies may buy raw materials to produce amino resins for use in their own products, such as plywood, chipboard, paper, textiles, or paints, and may also find it profitable to market these resins to smaller companies. The technology is highly developed and sales must be supported by adequate technical service to select the correct resin and see that it is appHed under the best conditions.
