Influence of reactive group on speed of reaction

Reactivity of the group says nothing about stability of the bond with cellulose!

Influence of reactive group on speed of reaction Complete, reproducible

Incomplete!

Influence of reactive group on speed of reaction

Influence of chromophore and substituent on speed of reaction

„Inductive effects“ on reactive group :„pumping in“ or „pumping out“ electrons

Influence of chromophore on speed of reaction

Factor 30 !

Influence of Substituent on speed of reaction

• Scarlet chromophore• Fluorotriazine group• 3 different substituents

Cellulose model

Site of reaction: ionized alkohol group

Effect of pH on cellulose ionization

Effect of pH on speed of reaction

Example: Reactive group DFCP

Nucleophilic addition: Reaction mechanism of vinylsulphone dyes

Effect of temperature on speed of reaction

Effect of substantivity on speed of reaction

High substantivity

Low substantivity



Summary: Parameters influencing speed of reaction.

Speed of reactions depends on:

• Reactivity of the reactive group

• Inductive effects of the chromophore on reactive group

• Inductive effects of the substituent of the reactive group

• pH of the dyebath (Reaction speed increases when pH increases)

• Temperature of the dye bath ( reaction speed increases as temperature rises)

• Substantivity of the dye in dyebath

Bireactive dyes: Effect on degree of fixation

Bireactive dyes : structures

Mono-reactive dye A

Poor stability of the bond, to acid

Mono-reactive dye B

Poor stability of the bond, to alkali

Bi-reactive dye C

Bond is stable to both acid and alkali

Bi-reactive dye: possible impact on substantivity

Comparison between bi-reactive MCT/VS and FT/VS dyes

MCT/VS• MCT has lower speed of

reaction with CEL than VS• MCT requires a higher pH than

VS for complete fixation• Bond of MCT with CEL is stable

in alkaline dyeing conditions• Bond of VS with CEL is unstable

in alkaline dyeing conditions

Thus:Higher dyeing pH necessaryto fix MCT: may distroy VS

bondorLower pH, safe enough for VS:allows only part fixation of

MCT

FT/VS• FT has higher speed of

reaction with CEL than VS• FT does fix completely at ideal

pH of fixation for VS and at lower pH

• Bond of FT with CEL is stable in alkaline dyeing conditions

• Bond of VS with CEL is unstable in alkaline dyeing conditions

Thus:The (low) pH, best suitable

forcomplete fixation of VSwithout significant

destructionof the VS bond, also warrantscomplete fixation of FT

Comparison between bi-reactive MCT/VS and FT/VS dyes

Although the MCT/VS combination has led toseveral good dyes, it suffers from a basic

problem :

Potential for reproducibility issueschoice between 2 risks • of incomplete fixation of MCT or• of hydrolysis of the just formed bond, in

dyeing phase

Destruction of the bond between fiber and dye

Reactive dyes as ion exchangers

Bond destruction : triazine & pyrimidin dyes

Bond destruction: vinylsulphone dyes

Acid bond destruction: Triazine & pyrimidine dyes

Alkaline bond destruction: Vinylsulphone dyes

Oxidative bond destruction: Pyrimidine dyes

Oxidative bond destruction: Pyrimidin dyes

Summary: Stability of the dye –fiber bondStability of dye/fibre bond Tendency

In alkaline media MCT, FT, DFCP, DFP better than VS, DCQ

In acid media VS better than DFCP, FT, MCT, DCQ, DFP

In per-borate containing media

MCT, FT, VS better than DFP, DFCP, DCQ

In chlorine-containing media (1-5 ppm)

MCT, FT, VS better than DFP, DFCP, DCQ





Why is it necessary to wash-off unfixed dyes ?

Because ,

even small quantities of unfixed dye

remaining inside the fiber

lead to poor wash fastness (bleed)

in usage of the textile

TD 4.5 CTS Exhaust CEL & CEL/PES 02/98 cc-fn12.ppt

Washing fastness test on multifiber band

Performance with short washing off procedure:(CIBACRON FN procedure as described above)

Washing C4A

....Simulating bleed problems in household washing

Two different phases of washing off:

Extraction of unfixed dye from outside the fiber Quick process, no need for high temperatureIs only a dilution

Extraction of unfixed dye from inside the fiberVery slow processRequires diffusion of dye molecule inside->out of fiberAll parameter favoring diffusion speed, are favorable to good washing off

PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE WASHING OFF PROCESS

• Amount of unfixed dye which must be extracted from fiber depends on shade depth, degree of fixation of dye, substantivity in dyebath

• Speed of diffusion of the dye in the washing off bath depends on size of dye molecule, substantivity in washing off bath and temperature of washing off bath

• Washing off equipment Especially number of successive wash baths, strength of flow,

• Substantivity of the dye under the fastness test conditions
