  • Publication number: 20220259800
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a dyed fabric and a textile product made thereof, as well as a dyeing method, which achieve color uniformity of a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, a para-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber and a polyester fiber, even in the case of a fabric containing a meta-type- and para-type-wholly aromatic polyamide fibers and a polyester fiber which are difficult to dye. The present invention relates to a dyed fabric dyed after being shaped into a fabric, characterized in that the fabric includes a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, a para-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber and a polyester fiber and the fabric is a fabric dyed with a cationic dyestuff and a disperse dyestuff, and in that the afterflame time and afterglow time defined in JISL1091A-1 are 1 second or less.
