Abstract
A composition and process for formulating a size and for sizing and desizing textiles using an inorganic compound are provided. One inorganic compound that may be used is basic aluminum chloride. The use of basic aluminum chloride in a size formulation creates a size that is less environmentally hazardous but effective as a size.
Claims24
A method of sizing a textile material by treating said material with a size formulation wherein said size formulation comprises basic aluminum chloride.
A method of sizing a material by treating said material with a size formulation wherein said size formulation comprises basic aluminum chloride, a thickening agent, a chelating agent, a film strengthening agent, and a binder for adhering said size formulation to said material.
A size formulation for use in sizing operations wherein said size formulation comprises basic aluminum chloride, a thickening agent, a film strengthening agent, and a binder for adhering said size formulation to said material.
A method of preparing a composition for use in a textile sizing formulation which comprises blending basic aluminum chloride with a film strengthening agent, and a thickening agent for increasing viscocity.
A method of treating a material by sizing said material with a size formulation, processing said material, and then desizing said material by treating said sized and processed material with a bath, wherein said size formulation comprises basic aluminum chloride and said bath has an acidic pH and comprises a non-anionic wetting agent.
A method of desizing a material that has been sized with a formulation containing basic aluminum chloride wherein the desizing composition comprises an acid for adjusting the pH of said desizing composition to below 7 and a non-anionic wetting agent.
