7 (Jlaims. (til. 8142) This invention relates to a new and improved process for dry-cleanin g textile fibers and other garment materials. The invention relates more particularly to the use of haloenated hydrocarbons containing not more than two car'- bon atoms and at least one fluorine atom per carbon atom in the molecule.
Today the common solvents used in the dry-cleaning of textiles and garment materials include such solvents as Stoddard solvent, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride. These solvents present various difliculties. For example, carbon tetrachloride because of its high toxicity presents definite health hazards unless used under the most rigid conditions, while cleaning fluids of the Stoddard solvent type are flammable and because of the high boiling range are difficult to remove from the fabrics even with the use of heat. While the perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene being much less toxic than the carbon tetrachloride are still somewhat toxic, they are difiicult to remove from the garments, particularly without application of heat, and have deleterious effects on certain plastics and cements used on jewelry ornaments. The application of heat in removing soil from garments presents the problem of setting stains which are subsequently very difiicult to remove, and also tends to set wrinkles in the garments which can only be removed by subsequent finishing operations.
These defficiencies of existing dry-cleaning fluids become more pronounced in the newly developed coinoperated dry-cleaning machines, Which are not under constant supervision of trained dry-cleaning personnel. Because of the toxicity of the solvents involved, care must be taken in designing the equipment and the installation so that the release of fumes and accumulation of such fumes be avoided. In addition, because of the relatively low volatility of the solvents employed, heat must be applied in the machine to drive the solvent from the clothes, and this drying period requires a substantial amount of time. In addition, heating the garments tends to set stains and also promotes wrinkling of the fabrics. Existing equipment involves a cycle'in which the soils are removed from the solvents by constant filtration using filter aids, since distillation with the less volatile of the non-toxic materials involves high temperature heat sources not normally available in these installations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for dry-cleaning textile fibers and other garment materials in which a dry-cleaning liquid composition is employed which is non-flammable, which can be readily removed from the garments at normal atmospheric temperatures, and which has an exceptionally low order of toxicity. A more specific object of the invention is to provide a process for (in-cleaning particularly applicable to coin-operated dry-cleaning machines in which a compound of the group consisting of trichlorotrifluoroethanes and trichloromonofiuoromethane are used as the principal dry-cleani11g solvent.
It has now been found that the textile fibers and other garment materials may be dry-cleaned in conventional dry-cleaning equipment by employing a halogenated hydrocarbon containing at least one fluorine atom per carbon atom in the molecule as the dry-cleaning liquid, which because of their relatively low boiling points and high vapor pressures may be readily removed from the articles being cleaned in a relatively short time without the application of heat, and when required, because of additional savings in cost, can be readily recovered and re-used.
These halogenated hydrocarbons containing at least one fluorine atom are considered to be relatively mild solvents, yet it has been found that they have surprisingly good and rapid cleaning effectiveness when used in drycleaning and have the ability to prevent significant redeposition of soils in the fabric being cleaned. Furthermore, these particular solvents have a substantially reduced tendency to attack plastic buttons and ornaments normally found on garments, and generally do not attack cements which are used in the fabrication of ornaments. Furthermore, it has been found that these solvents have a reduced tendency to bleed colors out of garments, which is quite pronounced with many dry-cleaning solvents particularly on certain types of synthetic fabrics such as acetate, and therefore does not require the close temperature control of the solvent or careful separation of different colored garments in the wash load.
The class of halogenated hydrocarbons employed in the present invention may be exemplified by the following: the trichlorotrifluoroethanes, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorofluoromethane, l,l,2-trichloro-2,2-difluoroethane, and 1,2'dichloro-1,l-difluoroethane, the first two being preferred.
These solvents may be used alone or in admixture with each other or with up to about 2% by weight, based on the weight of the solvents, of the usual dry-cleaning emulsifying agents of the non-ionic, cationic and anionic classes, of which the following are examples, isooctylphenyl polyethylene glycols where the number of ethylene glycol units is from 2 to 12; tetrakis-2-hydroxypropylethylenediamine ester of oleic acid quaternized with dimethyl sulfate; and amine salts of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid. In each case, the solvent comprises a chlorofluorohyclrocarbon having a boiling point of from 8 to C., a freezing point below 0 C., and contains not more than 2 carbon atoms and at least one fluorine atom per carbon atom in the molecule.
It is also understood that a small amount of moisture may be present in the dry-cleaning fluid in the same manner as it is employed in the dry-cleaning processes of the prior art. The amount of water should ordinarily not exceed about 1%, based on the weight of the solvent.
Representative examples illustrating the present invention follow. In these examples, a typical automatic frontloading washer-dryer combination was used.
Example 1 Into a Washer-dryer as heretofore described was placed 7 pounds of a wide variety of soiled garments of diiferent textiles and the washer-tub then loaded with '65 pounds of 1,1,Z-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. The washer was then operated for a 5 minute wash cycle, followed by high speed extraction and subsequent rinsing with an additional fresh 65 pounds of said halogenated hydrocarbon for a full rinse cycle of 1 minute; this rinse cycle is then followed by high speed extraction and drying with forced air at room temperature for 5 minutes. The total operating cycle time is approximately 12 to 13 minutes.
The clothes removed from the washer are essentially free of oil and grease spots, insoluble soil, and the clothes are dry and wrinkle-free.
Example 2 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated with the modification of adding, during the initial loading of the halogenated hydrocarbon, a detergent composition in concentrate form, said detergent composition consisting of about 1 pound of said halogenated hydrocarbon, from 0% to 2% of an amine salt of dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid as emulsifying agent; and from 0 to 1% water, the percent of said agent and water being based on the total amount of said halogenated hydrocarbon. In addition to the results achieved in Example 1, food spots and watersoluble spots, for example, were also removed. A typical and important example of the latter is a stain resulting from perspiration.
