Abstract:
A method of dyeing polypropylene fiber to create areas of different color on the fiber. A first dye solution containing a disperse dye and a dye-promoting agent is applied to substantially the entire surface of the fiber to cover the fiber with a first color. Thereafter, and while the fiber surface is still wet with the first dye solution, a second dye solution containing a disperse dye of a second color is applied only to selected discontinuous areas of the fiber. The second dye solution displaces the first dye solution in those areas of the fiber surface to which the second dye solution is applied. Then, the fiber is subjected to an elevated temperature high enough, and for a period of time sufficient, to fix the dyes in the fiber. Preferably, the second dye solution is more viscous than the first dye solution. After the dye fixation step, the fiber is scoured to remove excess dye. If desired, the second dye solution also contains a dye-promoting agent.
Abstract:
A process for applying a lubricant to a plurality of yarn packages directly to a dye bath in a package dyeing machine during the dyeing process. The process includes placing a plurality of yarn packages into a package dyeing machine. The plurality of yarn packages are then dyed in the package dyeing machine and the dye bath is cooled. A lubricant is then directly applied to the dye bath and the plurality of yarn packages in the package dyeing machine. In the preferred embodiment, the lubricant is a wax emulsion based on paraffin wax with a melting point of between about 138.degree. F. to 143.degree. F.
Abstract:
Continuous process for the optical brightening and printing of organic fiber material, wherein the material is dry cleaned and at least one optical brightener applied from an organic liquor, the said material being then intermediately dried, printed, and subsequently finished by a heat treatment.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A PROCESS FOR DYEING OR PRINTIN POLYESTER FIBRES IN THE FORM OF LOOSE FIBRE, YARN OR PIECE GOODS USING DISPERSE DYES IN THE PRESENCE OF CARRIERS WHICH CONTAIN AT LEAST 30% BY WEIGHT OF ALKYLBENZENES.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of effectively dyeing a thermoplastic resin plastic lens in any desired color tone and density as well as a colored plastic lens made by the method. The method involves dipping a thermoplastic resin plastic lens in a dyeing liquid containing one or more disperse dyes and one or more monocyclic monoterpenes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixture, comprising (A) 10 to 90 wt. % of at least one C6 to C18 alkyl ester, or C5 to C8 cycloalkyl ester of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylic acid and (B) 90 to 10 wt. % of at least one further compound, with at least one UV absorption maximum in the range 280 to 450 nm and structurally different from compound (A). Said mixture is suitable for the protection of human skin from damaging UV radiation and for the protection of coloured textile materials from colour fading.
Abstract:
A process for dyeing or printing aromatic polyamide fibres with cationic dyes in aqueous medium, wherein the medium containsA. a carrier which contains no ketone-forming carbonyl groups, andB. an anionic assistant.The process of the invention is especially suitable to obtain wilt cationic dyes dyeings having a color yield of 2 to 10 times greater than that obtained by using the same dye liquor but without the addition of any anionic assistant.
Abstract:
A process for continuous dyeing polyester yarns is disclosed, wherein the yarns are dyed on a pad-steam dye slasher with a disperse dye solution. The disperse dye solution contains a disperse dyestuff, an at most somewhat water-miscible unemulsified, halogenated aromatic solvent, an anionic wetting agent and a thickener, with the anionic wetting agent added to the disperse dye solution after the aqueous system of disperse dyestuff and solvent is formed. The disperse dye is fixed on the yarn by steaming the yarn at a temperature of at least 220*F. The disclosed process is useful in the disperse dyeing of polyester yarns which may be used in conventional applications for such yarns.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THE DESPERSED DYE CONTENT OF POLYESTER TEXTILE MATERIALS INCLUDES EXPOSING THE MATERIAL TO VAPOR AND/OR LIQUID PHASE SOLVENT, PREFERABLY METHYLENE CHLORIDE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ONE ASPECT OF THE INVENTION, THE MATERIAL IS IRRADIATED DURING TREATMENT TO DERIVE SYNERGISTIC COACTION BETWEEN THE DYE ELIMINATION FUNCTIONING OF THE SOLVENT AND THE RADIATION.
