Abstract: Fabric, particularly soiled fabrics containing calcium carbonate crystal growth poisons, may be washed in hard water to which has been added a detergent active material and an alkali metal carbonate if a secondary detergency builder is added after a defined critical state of the system is reached. The secondary builder may be a precipitating, sequestering or ion exchange builder, and is added in such an amount which would be insufficient, in the absence of the carbonate, to reduce the free calcium ion concentration to less than 10.sup.-5 molar. The delayed addition can be achieved by separate dosing, coating the secondary builder, dosing the composition in the form of a two-compartment sachet or forming the secondary builder material in situ. The composition may include a material, such as calcite, to promote the occurrance of the critical state.

Abstract: An animal hide tanning composition is comprised by weight of minor proportions of borax and alum blended together with an emulsifying agent in a carrier containing water and water-emulsive oils. In the method of preparing the composition, the sequence of blending is extremely important to achieve desired consistency and assure complete dissolution of the active ingredients while retaining the preservative qualities thereof. If a bactericide and parasiticide are to be included, they may be added during the initial blending step. The emulsifying agent acts as a stabilizer to maintain the composition in a readily usable physical state while the addition of a bactericide and parasiticide prevent decay of the tanned hide otherwise resulting from organisms which may be present in the hide.

If such lubricating agent is used appropriately during the processing of thermoplastic synthetic fibers, both the coefficient of fiber friction and the rate of generating tar can be reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in certain processes for continuously dyeing polyamide carpets whereby stain resistance is imparted to the carpets during the dyeing process. The improvement involves adding an alkali metal silicate (e.g. sodium meta silicate) and a sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde condensation product to the dye liquor used in the dyeing process. If either the silicate or condensation product is omitted from the liquor, the improvement is not achieved. The improvement provides a convenient and economical means for providing stain resistant polyamide carpets.
