Abstract:
An article exhibiting flame resistant or flame retardant (FR) property including a fabric that has received a pre-treatment applied dye or print or combinations thereof; and a post-treatment applied FR additive. The fabric includes a primary yarn including a fiber having vapor phase action and a partially aromatic polyamide fiber.
Abstract:
Fiber products of a blend of an acrylic fiber substantially free of acid dye sites with an acid dyeable fiber are printed with a dye paste containing a monosulfonic acid dye having an inorganicity/organicity ratio less than 4 to dye both fibers of the blend uniformly. As an alternative an additional acid dye outside the specific class designated may be used to augment the dyeing of the acid dyeable fiber.
Abstract:
A process for dyeing and printing blends of wool and polyacrylic fibers which comprises the use of dyes of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is the radical of a monofunctional or polyfunctional tertiary amine, X is an anion and F is the radical of a dye of the disperse class.
Abstract:
Flame resistant stretch fabrics made from aramid fibers and elastomeric fibers and methods and systems for dyeing such fabrics while significantly retaining the stretch properties of the fabrics. Such methods and systems include the use of certain dye carriers not conventionally used in the aramid dyeing process that enable the fabric to be dyed under normal aramid dyeing conditions without eliminating or significantly impacting the stretch properties of the fabric. Such suitable dye carriers for use in the process include, but are not limited to, benzyl alcohol, butyl benzoate, n-butyl phthalimide, isopropyl phthalimide, dimethyl phthalate, biphenyl, monochlorotoluene, and combinations thereof. Phthalimides, and more particularly blends of n-butyl phthalimide and isopropyl phthalimide, have proven particularly effective at dyeing the aramid fibers at high temperatures while retaining the elastomeric properties of the fabric. The dyed flame resistant stretch fabrics of this invention can be used to construct, among other things, the entirety or various portions of, a variety of protective garments for protecting the wearer against electrical arc flash and flames, including, but not limited to, coveralls, jumpsuits, shirts, jackets, vests, and trousers.
Abstract:
A fabric for use in safety apparel comprising yarns spun from a blend of staple fibers. At least 60 percent of the staple fibers are flame resistant fibers and up to 40 percent are non-flame resistant fibers. At least one dye type is applied to the fabric and is selected to dye both the flame resistant and non-flame resistant fibers in the blend. When dyed, the fabric meets both the American National Standards Institute standard ANSI/ISEA-107 minimum conspicuity requirements for occupational activities for high-visibility safety apparel and the American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM F-1506 for flame resistance.
Abstract:
IMPROVED COLORING COMPOSITIONS, ESPECIALLY PRINTING PASTES, COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE BASIC OR DISPERSE ORGANIC DYESTUFF TOGETHER WITH A MIXTURE OF AMMONIUM THIOCYANATE AND AT LEAST AN EQUAL WEIGHT OF AMMONIUM CITRATE, SAID AMMONIUM THIOCYANATE AMOUNTING TO AT LEAST ABOUT 0.5% BY WEIGHT OF THE COLORING COMPOSITION ARE PROVIDED. THE IMPROVED COMPOSITIONS, WHEN APPLIED TO NATURAL AND SYNETHIC FIBROUS MATERIALS, PROVIDE A HIGH FIXATION EFFICIENCY OF THE DYESTUFF WITH AUTHENTIC DYE SHADE.
Abstract:
A yarn, fabric, and apparel formed from modacrylic fibers and high energy absorptive fibers. When the yarn is formed into a fabric comprised substantially of the yarn, the fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for flame resistance and the National Fire Protection Association standard for arc thermal performance exposure.

Abstract:
In the printing of fiber assemblages containing acrylic fibers dyeable with cationic dyes and blend fibers dyeable with anionic dyes, there is disclosed a process for printing with a printing paste containing a cationic and a anionic dye which comprises preparing the printing paste so as to contain specific amounts of lignin sulfonic acid or a soluble salt thereof, printing the fiber assemblage with said paste, and thereafter steaming the printed assemblage to fix the dyes thereon.
