Processability The Dyeing and Finishing of Soybean Protein Fiber Product  Soybean protein fiber (SPF) has different physical and chemical construction from natural protein fiber, we must take care of the pretreatment, we must be very careful in the process of pretreatment, dyeing and finishing, keep the style and character of SPF you try your best to embody the high quality of it. During the production process you select fit equipment and proper settings. I. The Pretreatment De-sizing Pretreatment of SPF or yarn made from SPF is very simple. We use scouring and bleaching : it can remove oil, lubricants and pigments and other additives which are added in the production process.  Woven fabric, knitting (including all kinds of blended SPF with other fiber), one should select different equipment and settings All fabrics (woven fabric and knitting) need desizing - it can be done with enzyme de-sizing, alkali or oxidant de-sizing . Mercerization is forbidden because SPF is unable to bear the strong caustic soda.  Enzyme de-sizing :  - BF7658 amylase: 2-6g/L  - Glauber's salt: 2-3g/L  - Penetrating agents: 1 g/L  - Temperature 55-60 degr C - Heat-preserving time: 60 minutes SPF blends containing different fibers the de-sizing process is very different.  one should consider the other fibers characteristics and adjust the settings accordingly. De-sizing process must be appropriate for both fibers.  Scouring and bleaching The natural color of SPF is curcuma - it is difficult to remove SPF's pigment - therefore one should bleach it. According to color, you can use Hydrogen peroxide bleaching, reduction bleaching, or Hydrogen peroxide bleaching and reduction bleaching. If you need very light color you may have to use whitening agents (whitened SPF fabric is never completely white as e.g.. bleached cotton fabric - it is still a little yellow)  Bleaching 3.1 Hydrogen peroxide bleaching ( middle or deep color) ¡¡ Recipe: - Hydrogen peroxide: 20-40 g/L  - Sodium carbonate: 3-5 g/L  - Proficiency agent: 2-3 g/L  - Sodium silicate stabilizer: 3-8 g/L  - pH degree:11  - Bleaching temperature: 92-95 degr C  - Heat preservation time 60-80 minutes 3.2 Reduction agent bleaching  Recipe - Rongalite: 3-8 g/L  - Sodium carbonate: 2-4 g/L  - Scouring agents: 1-2 g/L  - pH degree:11  - Bleaching temperature: 92-95 degr C - Heat-preserving time 60-80 minute  If you need a medium or light color you should use Hydrogen peroxide bleaching and reduction bleaching, wash clearly after Hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen peroxide agent and reducing agent. In bleaching , then use reduction bleaching.  3.3 whitening  Dyeing Very light color, you should use whitening after Hydrogen peroxide bleaching and reduction bleaching.  Recipe - Brightener 0.3-0.8 g/L  - Glauber's salt 5-15 g/L  - Whitening temperature 70-80 degr C - Heat preservation time not less than 30 minute  3.4 The comparison of several brightener  Brightener recommendation:  - Korea 4BK.  - Guangdong China CBN-20  - Shanghai daxiang PAB.DM  - Reference: BW-O2A, CPD, PA2B, Shanghai Daxiang BYB. BY.  - Note: VBL.DT is not fit to whiten SPF.  Bleaching method  Including fiber bleaching, top bleaching, yarn bleaching (hank yarn bleaching, cheese bleaching), fabric bleaching, according to different product condition and the requirements we use different methods. It is highly recommended to carry out a small test before your mass Production. Above all recommendations and processes are for your general guidance only. Hank Yarn Bleaching: yarn surface is easy to become disordered.  Cheese Bleaching: The surface is bright and clear, efficient, but you must care for elasticity of cheese. If winding is too tight, the dye-solution is hard to penetrate (the shrinkage of soybean yarn is about 7% during process), or the result in the whiteness degree or dyeing will not be level. If it is too loosely wound the dye liquor can easily penetrate, the whiteness degree is very consistent and level. Same with dyeing. The elasticity of the cheese is very important, directly affect bleaching and dyeing quality.  Moreover, if bleaching temperature is too high, it will influence resilience. The fiber will lose resilience so that hand feeling becomes rigid if the bleaching temperature exceeds 95 degr C Pretreatment of fabrics containing SPF and blends with wool, cashmere Pretreatment of blended fabric need to protect both fibers, and avoid potential damage. Only then wool fiber will develop  flexibility, and develop the soybean soft hand feeling and elegant outstanding luster at the same time. soybean fiber can bear alkaline better than wool, if pH exceed 8, temperature above 80 degr C, wool fiber will turn yellow ,and drop tenacity.  But soybean fiber has pigment, that is difficult to be removed. One has to keep it in pH 9.5~10.5, temperature 90 - 95 degr C, and then you can acquire ideal whiteness degree. To solve this conflict, we suggest: :  1) You must use separately pretreatment and bleaching (dyeing) on Soybean fiber, wool fiber, or top, yarn, then blending or color weaving.  2) During the pretreatment and bleaching , Firstly you must consider to insure reducing harm of wool fiber, and develop the good function of two fibers, scouring( the temperature is lower than 45 ¡æs,30 minutes): crabbing( the temperature is lower than 85 degr C, pH 6.5s, pressure are slightly higher); The bleaching craft remove the pigment of soybean fiber, and we recommend to use Hydrogen peroxide bleaching , adopt England the low temperature Hydrogen peroxide activator TAED, and process is in the temperature 70~75 deg C in weak alkali bleaching, attain currently white degree.  Pretreatment of SPF and silk intertexture The key problem of pretreatment is to remove impurities, such as the sericin etc, and increasing the white degree of soybean fiber, you should notice the hair like surface , that influence surface brightness and beauty. We Can use the alkaline Proteolytic enzyme.  Tinogym WSL¨Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc.£©:0.5-1g/L  PH degree:9-9.5 (adjusted with alkali)  Temperature 55 degr C Time: 45 minutes  Note: Removing sericin with Proteolytic enzyme before scouring and bleaching. - Hydrogen peroxide: 5-6 g/L  - BAC (Stabilizer): 2 g/L  - Wetting Penetrating agents: LUN 1 g/L  - pH degree: 8-9 (adjusting with sodium carbonate ) - Temperature: 90 degr C - Time: 45-60 minutes  Process:  A. gray goods ----pretreatment, alkaline Proteolytic enzyme , removing sericin ---- scouring and bleaching----- whitening----pressing water ----- dyeing- --softening .  B. gray goods---- alkaline and Hydrogen peroxide bleaching , removing sericin---washing----reduction bleaching---whitening--pressing water ----dyeing---finishing ¡¡¡¡Singeing, you should use light singeing with high operating speed , and you must adjust the distance of fire mouth and fabric , we suggest you use top end of white fire.
