Abstract: A method of printing using polysaccharide gum S-88 as a thickening agent for printing pastes has been developed. The S-88 gum is gellable in the presence of about above 6% to 50% electrolyte. The gelling characteristic of the gum is useful in both single- and multi-phase print systems. The single-phase print system uses a print paste composition containing the S-88 gum together with about 1-6% concentration of electrolyte which, when applied to a substrate, and when the overall moisture content drop (by such methods as heating, etc.) results in a concomitant increase in electrolyte concentration sufficient to cause gelation. The multi-phase print system uses the electrolyte in one phase and the gellable gum in another; i.e., the electrolyte-containing paste or solution with concentration of 6-50% electrolyte is either impregnated on or in the substrate or is present in the printing paste which is applied before or after the S-88 gum-containing paste.

Abstract: The invention is a method of indicating the presence of an impregnant, e.g. an antimicrobial composition, in cloth to provide visual evidence of the continuing activity of the impregnant. The antimicrobial composition in the cloth is activated on contact with a liquid such as water and is ionically bonded to the cloth. Small portions of the impregnated cloth are dyed with an indicator dye which bonds preferentially to the antimicrobial composition so that when the antimicrobial composition is exhausted, the dye will disappear from the cloth. The dye is preferably applied to the cloth in stripes.
