Abstract: A process is described for the continuous dyeing of textiles in which an aqueous solution of an ionic, water-soluble dye is applied to a fabric in open width. The textile is dried to reduce the water content to at most about 1% and it is then contacted with a nonionic, high-boiling organic liquid in which the ionic dye is substantially completely insoluble while the liquid is maintained at an elevated temperature, i.e., about 325.degree. F.-450.degree. F., for a period of time sufficient to cause the dye to diffuse into the fibers and to fix the ionic dye to the fibers of the textile. Any remainig high-boiling liquid is subsequently removed from the fabric.

Abstract: An improved process for preparing white or colored burn-out effects on textile materials containing hydrophobic fibers and cellulose fibers which process comprises applying to the material a dyeing liquor or printing paste containing at least one disperse dyestuff for dyeing the hydrophobic fibers alone or mixed with dyestuff for dyeing the cellulose fibers, applying a burn-out agent to the textile material in the form of a pattern, and then heat-treating the textile material at about 100.degree. to 240.degree. C. whereby the dyestuff is fixed and the burnout effect is produced, wherein the improvement comprises said dyeing liquor or print paste contains at least one disperse dyestuff which is discharged by the burn-out agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to organic dye compositions of improved mechanical properties and to a method of coating the dye with an inert coating material which enables the production of pour-castable colored smoke-producing compositions of high solids loading, particularly when a red dye e.g. Disperse Red 9, is employed.
