Abstract: Nylon fibers are protected from colorant staining by treating them with at least 2% we/wt (weight dry SAC/weight dry nylon fiber) of sulfonated aromatic aldehyde condensation product. The treated fibers are then fixed by the wet heat method.
Abstract: Cationic polymers are added to wastewater containing colorants to form a cationic polymer/colorant complex. Anionic polymers are then added to the wastewater to produce a flocculent precipitate that is separated from the wastewater.
Abstract: When nylon fibers are dyed with a first anionic dye and then treated with a stainblocker, they can be woven into a fabric with untreated nylon fibers and then subjected to a second dyeing process using a second anionic dye of a different color than the color of the first anionic dye, without risk of dye bleed or dye blending during the second dyeing operation.
