<p>A process is described for producing surface-modified polypropylene filament yarns that are dyeable from aqueous liquors. This process is characterized in that the filament yarns, comprising standard commercial PP, in the course of their formation in a melt spinning procedure, undergo treatment with a hydrogen peroxide solution. The invention further relates to polyolefin filament yarns obtainable by this process, and to the use of these polyolefin filament yarns for producing sheetlike textile structures, with the possibility of advantageous subsequent dyeing with vat dyes. The treatment referred to or the upgrading step, which in accordance with the prior art normally takes place at a much later point in the production chain, therefore yields a hydrophilized filament yarn without an additional downstream treatment step, such as by plasma treatment, for example, and also without any other additional energy input. The resulting filament yarn can be processed and upgraded in the same way as has hitherto been the case in the industrial practice. Without the aftertreatment of the prior art, the textiles obtained in accordance with the invention exhibit a desirable dyeability. This can be achieved without further pretreatment, by means of vat dyeing by the Thermosol process in deep shades, and the vat dyeing at the same time possesses the high light fastness known for vat dyeings.</p> |
