The receiver layer may be thermally transferable. The swellable inorganic lamellar material may be a clay, which may be at least partially in the exfoliated state.

Abstract: A golf ball of a first color is dyed to a second color with an anionic or nonionic disperse dye. Either or both of a pigmented coating layer or an optional clear coating layer on the pigmented coating layer comprises a member selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyamides, and combinations thereof, which can be dyed by the anionic or nonionic disperse dye.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dyestuff of plant origin, obtained from a colored part of a plant species, the cell tissues of which contain iridisomes responsible for the coloration of said part. It relates most particularly to a blue dyestuff obtained from the arils of the seeds of the plant species Ravenala madagascariensis. It also relates to compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, especially intended for making up the skin or superficial body growths, containing said dyestuff.

Abstract: A method of producing synthetic yarn having polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) properties is described. The method providing: applying a PTFE additive to a partially oriented yarn (POY) during one or more finishing processes of the POY to produce a PTFE enhanced POY having PTFE on the surface of the fibers of the PTFE enhanced POY.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a parchmentized fibrous support containing parchmentizable synthetic fibers parchmentized with sulfuric acid, the process for making such a support and the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention is related to a processing formulation and method for producing fabrics which are eco-friendly and easy to implement. The invention provides stereoscopic fabrics with special patterns and tactile texture produced by an eco-friendly non-dye formulation and process.

Abstract: A photocatalytic method of colored discharge printing for producing colorized patterns on textiles includes over dyeing textiles with illuminant dyes and ground shade dyes respectively, manufacturing patterned printing plates with hollow-out decorative patterns, applying a photocatalyst on the over-dyed textiles through the hollow-outs, using a photocatalytic method of colored discharge printing to produce localized discoloration of the ground shade while leaving the illuminant dyes on the textile which produces an effect of colorized patterns on the textiles. The method has the characteristics of being a simple process with a simple apparatus and has short processing, easy control and wide adaptability. The method eliminates the needs for printing pastes and expensive printing apparatus used in the complicated process in a conventional printing method.

Abstract: A method for photocatalytic white discharge printing for achieving patterns on textiles includes closely integrating substrates with patterned printing plates or fixing patterned printing plates on one or both sides of a substrate, placing them in a reactor equipped with a light source and containing the photocatalytic white discharging formulation. The method has the characteristics of a simple process, short processing, easy controlling and wide adaptability. The process eliminates the need for printing plates and expensive printing apparatus used in complicated conventional printing methods. Additionally, the photocatalytic solution can be reused which avoids generous application of chemical agents and waste discharges that are present in conventional printing methods. The method is beneficial for cutting costs, saving energy, reducing emissions and has cleaner production.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to liquid sizing compositions comprising shading dyestfuffs, derivatives of diaminostilbene, binders, protective polymers, and optionally divalent metal salts which can be used for the optical brightening of substrates, including substrates suitable for high quality ink jet printing.
