Cationic Dyed Polyester Yarn is a special type of polyester yarn

Cationic Dyed Polyester Yarn is a special type of polyester yarn which can be dyed with cationic dyes. It has excellent color development and fastness, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.However, cationic yarn needs to be dyed at high temperature and pressure. This makes it difficult to combine it with wool, silk or other natural fibers that lose their strength and texture under these conditions.The textured yarns of the present invention are made by the draw-texturing of bicomponent filaments of spin-oriented cationic-dyeable copolyester. The cationic-dyeable copolyester filaments comprise a sheath and a core of poly[ethylene terephthalate/5-(sodium sulfo)isophthalate] containing about 2 mole % of the 5-(sodium sulfo)isophthalate groups in the polymer chain.

The sheath/core bicomponent filaments are drawn in a rotary draw-texturing machine. They are then immersed in an alkaline aqueous bath containing preferably 10 to 100 g/l of a quaternary ammonium compound and exhaust dyed for 30 to 60 minutes or longer as needed to obtain the desired depth of shade.The resulting fabric is characterized by the fiber reactive cationic compound being reacted with and bound to a relatively large amount of the hydroxyl sites in the cellulosic fibers, and the dyestuffs being distributed nonuniformly and randomly throughout the fabric in proportion to their affinity for the cationic agent. This provides the desired random heather-like appearance to the dyed fabric.

With a normal pressure cationic dyeability, this yarn is highly durable against stains, fading, and washing. It is ideal for use in a wide range of products such as garments, bedding, towels and mats.Moreover, this yarn is also suitable for various purposes due to its superior color fastness and excellent soft touch. It can be used for different types of end uses such as weaving, knitting, embroidery thread, stitching, emerald, hosiery, and narrow width fabric.In addition, this textured yarn has a strong fiber strength and a favorable heat setting property. This makes it easy to crimp and fixate.

The inactive particles in the invention are preferably within the range of 0.1 to 5.0 wt% based on the total weight or normal pressure cationic dyeable polyester composition. When the inactive particles are less than 0.1 wt%, dark color stainability is insufficient; however, when they are more than 5.0 wt%, strength, heat resistance, and light resistance are unfavorably reduced.Cationic dyed polyester yarn is made from a modified polyester, such as PBT (polybutylene terephthalate). It is added with a cationic active agent to make it a kind of dyeable polyester.

When it is woven into elastic knitted fabrics, the yarn feels soft and comfortable to wear. The fabric has bright colors, similar effects to natural fabrics, and good elasticity and hygienic properties.It can be used to make high-end underwear, swimwear and sportswear. It has great abrasion resistance and wearability, and is second only to nylon in this respect.It is also used in textile printing and embroidery. The yarn has many benefits, including good color fastness, excellent printing and dyeing performance, and low energy consumption.Cationic Dyed Polyester Yarn is an excellent fabric choice for base layers, sleepwear and active wear. The yarn is available in single or double dyed to create a true heathered or solid color look.

The cationic fiber has a lower crystallinity than regular polyester, so it is easier to dye. In addition, the sulfonic acid groups in the fabric structure provide improved staining characteristics and enhance dyeability.This cationic fiber is more durable and hygienic than regular polyester, with good anti-pilling and anti-fuzzing performance. It also has a better hygroscopic property than cotton fabrics, which makes it easier to absorb moisture and keep clothes dry.The fabric can be dyed at low temperature with cationic dyes, so it can be used in garments that require high color fastness. Because of its higher tenacity, cationic polyester is often used for hosiery items and other products with high strength requirements.
