Pretreatment of Lyocell
Why Pretreatment?
As lyocell contains impurities as other natural fiber have; so for achieving desirable properties we have to treat the fiber with preliminary processes. Pretreatment, basically removes the undesirable contents of fiber and modifies the fiber in such a way that further following steps are done with great ease.
![Page 18: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Pretreatment of Lyocell
Singeing and Desizing
Lyocell fabrics are singed to remove the protruding fibers and simplify the de-fibrillation process later on. Desizing is normally done in open-width. If the fabric contains only water-soluble sizes, it is washed-only on open-width washing machine or jigger. If starch is present, desizing may be done by enzymatically or oxidatively using cold pad-batch method, open-width washing machine or jigger .

Pretreatment of Lyocell
T-I-O process consists of impregnating the fabric at room temperature with
– 8-15 ml/kg H2O2 (35%)
– 40 g/kg NaOH (100%)
– 8-12 ml/kg “Tinoclarite CBB”
– 3-6 ml/kg “Invatex CRA”
The pick up is adjusted to 100% and the impregnated fabric is batched to dwell for 4-24 hours before a hot wash.
It has been found that fabrics undergone T-I-O process exhibit better colour yield as compared to enzymatically desized fabrics.

Pretreatment of Lyocell
Mercerization
Mercerization with NaOH causes increase in degree of lyocell swelling. However, there is a notable decrease in tensile strength when lyocell is treated with strong alkali solutions higher than 7.5 wt% while Mercerization at 10 wt% causes more than 10% weight loss in lyocell fibres.

Pretreatment of Lyocell
Fibrillation
Fibrillation is the partial detachment of microfibrills from the fibers. These microfibrills are typically less than 1 to 4 microns in diameter and give, on one hand, a white “frosty” appearance to the fabric and, on the other had, special peach-skin soft handle. Main causes of lyocell fibrillation tendency are the high wet swelling (approx. 65% increase in volume) of lyocell and weak lateral links between the crystallites rendering it susceptible to mechanical abrasion.
![Page 29: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pretreatment of Lyocell Primary Fibrillation
– Primary fibrillation often results in the presence of long fibrils which are able to entangle and result in fabric pilling.
– A guide process for primary fibrillation is as follows: • load the goods in a suitable jet.
• Pour in 2 g/l suitable lubricant while setting the bath at 60°C.
• Add 2 g/l crease inhibitor and 2-3 g/l soda ash or caustic soda lye.
• Increase the temperature to 80-95°C. Treat the goods for 60-120 minutes.
• Drain off the bath, rinse and neutralize.
![Page 30: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pretreatment of Lyocell Defibrillation or Enzyme Clean
– Defibrillation can be done on the jet machines using acid cellulases enzymes.
– The process is carried out using a suitable cellulases enzyme (1-3% o.w.f.)
– 2 g/l crease inhibitor and 2 g/l lubricant at a liquor ratio of 5:1-10:1
– A strict control of temperature and pH (using buffer system) is ensured before the addition of enzyme.
![Page 31: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Pretreatment of Lyocell
– The pH and temperature is set as per the enzyme manufacturer’s recommendations.
– The treatment is carried out for 45-90 minutes and then the enzyme is denatured either by raising the temperature or pH by using sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.
– The bath is drained off and the goods are given a final hot rinse.

Pretreatment of Lyocell
The benefits of cellulases treatment include:
• Improved softness and surface smoothness
• De-fuzzing
• De-pilling
• Pill prevention
• Improved drapability
• Improved surface appearance after repeated laundering
• Reduced tendency to fibrillate
![Page 33: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Pretreatment of Lyocell Secondary Fibrillation
Unlike long-staple irregular primary fibrillation, secondary fibrillation results in the presence of short fibrils which are not usually able to entangle and cause pilling. Secondary fibrillation is usually done after dyeing and finishing.
• Two main effects of the secondary fibrillation are:
– A small pile created on the surface of the fabric, giving the fabric a peach-skin hand
– Fibrils, being a fraction of the size of the fibers, appear much lighter in color than the fibers even when they contain the same amount of dye. This optical effect gives the dusted or mill-wash appearance to the fabric.

Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Exhaust Method
Lyocell fabrics can be dyed by using same classes of dyes and methods as are used for other cellulosic fibers. However, the dyeability of lyocell is higher as compared to that of other conventional cellulosic fibers.
![Page 35: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Exhaust Method Dye Selection
– Appropriate dye selection is important keeping in view the fact that natural affinity of reactive dyes for lyocell is greater than that for cotton. Those reactive dyes are suitable which are characterized by:
• Excellent exhaustion and fixation
• Good migration properties
• Excellent level dyeing
• Robustness to process variables
• Easy wash-off profile
Bi-functional and tri-functional reactive dyes have been reported to improve the wet abrasion strength of lyocell while non-cross-linking mono-functional dyes are ineffective in that respect.
![Page 37: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Exhaust Method
Main parameters for dyeing lyocell in rope form
• Fabric tube/rope diameter
• Fabric speed
• Rope circulation time
• Differential pressure
![Page 38: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Exhaust Method
• Liquor add-on (in aerodynamic systems), which depends on
– Fabric type (woven or knitted)
– Fabric density
– Fabric GSM (grams per square meter)
– The final fabric appearance required
– Difference in winch speed and fabric speed
– Higher speed differences may cause over-fibrillation
![Page 39: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Exhaust Method
Auxiliaries – Wetting agent (may be omitted if appropriate emulsifiable
yarn lubricants are used)
– Sequestering agent to sequester alkaline earth metals that may be introduced by water or electrolyte
– Electrolyte to increase exhaustion (note: due to high affinity of reactive dyes for lyocell than for cotton, the electrolyte requirement for dyeing lyocell is less than that for dyeing cotton)
– Fabric lubricant with good emulsifying properties
– Alkali for dye fixation
![Page 40: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Cold Pad-batch Method
Cold pad-batch method has the following characteristics:
• High productivity as compared to exhaust method
• Low energy costs • Low water costs (around 60 l/kg or less as
compared to >100 l/kg in exhaust dyeing) • No use of salt • Low effluent load • Limited fibrillation
![Page 41: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Cold Pad-batch Method
• No abrasion marks
• Less crease marks
• Long fixation times
• High cost of correcting faulty shades
• Risk of tailing
![Page 42: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Cold Pad-batch Method
Conditions in pad batch dyeing – Good fabric hydrophilicity for ensuring uniform dye uptake – Freedom from residues – Uniform moisture content and temperature (20-25°C) of the
fabric throughout the length and width of the fabric – Small liquor trough for ensuring rapid liquor exchange (in less
than 3 minutes), particularly for dyes of low liquor stability, in order to prevent premature dye hydrolysis and reduce risk of tailing
– Good control of temperature of dye and alkali liquors and the trough temperature for ensuring bath stability
![Page 43: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Dyeing of Lyocell Fabrics by Cold Pad-batch Method
– Use of trichromatic combinations with similar substantivity – Optimum fabric speed to ensure fabric immersion time of
about 1 sec. – Liquor pick-up of 85-100% – Approximately 30-60 sec. air passage after padding and
before batching up, to minimize pressure on the batching roll due to lyocell swelling
– Use of relatively high-diameter foam-covered batching rolls, to provide room for fibre swelling while on the batcher
– A centre wind to ensure constant winding tension on the batching roll
![Page 44: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Processing of Lyocell in Garment Form
Processing of lyocell in garment form can be done to obtain different effects such as:
– Mill-wash appearance
– Excellent hand
– Bulk
Main processing routes for processing lyocell garments are:
– Indigo garment wash
– Piece dye for garment wash
– Garment dye

Fastness Properties of Dyed Lyocell Fabrics
Washing fastness is comparable with the fastness properties achieved by same dyes on fabrics made from other cellulosic fibers. However, a poor rating may be obtained as compared to other cellulosic fabrics because of fabric fibrillation.
![Page 47: lyocell](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050801/5527bf5149795964178b47fc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
