Abstract: Process for the dyeing and/or finishing textile of plane articles made of synthetic or natural fibers or of mixtures of such fibers, by applying in a foamed form and at room temperature onto the goods with the acid of a gaseous propellant, a liquor containing at least one dyestuff and/or finishing agent suitable for the corresponding type of fiber, if required, chemical products necessary for their fixation as well as surface-active substances and subjecting the material thus treating for fixing the dyestuffs and/or finishing agents optionally after the decomposition or destruction of the foaming layer and if necessary by means of oxydating agents to the action of heat or subjecting it to a wet development operation by passing it through a bath consisting of an acid or an alkali, or dwelling it at room temperature or at a moderately raised temperature.

Abstract: Rapid dyeing process for piece-goods, especially knit fabrics, of synthetic fibre materials, preferably of texturized polyester fibers, by padding the material with an aqueous dyebath in a pressure vessel, which may be used both for the application and fixation of the dyestuff, at first under high-temperature (HT--) conditions and then exposing the material immediately after this operation to the action of high-pressure (HP)-- steam to fix the dyestuff completely.
