ABSTRACT:
Compositions of ethylene alkyl acrylate grafted onto polypropylene are dyeable with disperse or cationic dyes. A small amount of polyester may be include, along with a hydrophilic modifier comprising a monoglyceride and a salt of a liner alkyl. The hydrophilic modifier also acts as a compatibilizer to bridge the polyester and the polypropylene. A process for dyeing polypropylene fibers comprises combining the polypropylene with a thermoplastic copolymer of ethylene and alkyl acrylates having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group into fibers, adding the polyester to the polypropylene matrix, spinning the composition into fibers, and exposing the fibers to a dye bath. The sulfonic group may be added to the polyester for exposing the fibers to a cationic dye.
