Objective

Laboratory and semi-industrial extrusions were performed with the dyeable PP pellets into different staple fibres and yarns. Both coarse (13 dtex/filament) and semi-fine and fine fibres (5 to 2.5 dtex/filament) were extruded on industrial equipment. Further mechanical processing spinning, yarn texturation, tufting, weaving and knitting has been achieved.

Disperse dyes offering high colour yield, short fixation times, and high fastness properties were selected during a systematic laboratory evaluation. Standard recipes were developed for continuous or discontinuous dyeing processes at 100 or 120 C and for printing carpets or fabrics with steam fixation times as low as 2 minutes. Industrial dyeing and printing trials were preformed.
