Abstract: This invention provides graffiti removers for removing permanent ink stains from painted surfaces. The graffiti removers include an active solvent for dissolving the stains, which are organic in nature, an optional secondary solvent for concentrated attack on the stain without being adversely affected by dilution with water, an emollient for maintaining a uniform dispersion of particulates in the remover and on the graffiti-stained painted surfaces, and an amorphous, particulate, mildly abrasive filler for imbibing the solvents, the filler being selected to permit the slow release of the active solvent.

Abstract: When nylon fibers are dyed with a first anionic dye and then treated with a stainblocker, they can be woven into a fabric with untreated nylon fibers and then subjected to a second dyeing process using a second anionic dye of a different color than the color of the first anionic dye, without risk of dye bleed or dye blending during the second dyeing operation.

Abstract: A transparent electrically conductive film having a surface resistivity of 10.sup.2 -10.sup.10 .OMEGA./.sup..quadrature., an overall light transmittance of at least 70%, and a haze value of at most 20% comprises an organic or inorganic transparent matrix having dispersed therein 0.01%-1 wt % of hollow carbon microfibers and 1%-40 wt % of an electrically conductive metal oxide powder (such as antimony-doped tin oxide) with an average primary particle diameter of 0.5 .mu.m or smaller. The matrix can be an organic polymer which is thermoplastic, thermosetting, or curable by ultraviolet radiation, or a metal oxide sol which can form an inorganic glass film, a hydrolyzable or heat decomposable organic metal compound, or the like.

Abstract: The invention is directed to (1) a method for increasing the color fastness of dyed textiles subject to exposure by atmospheric gases by treating said textiles with a fade-inhibiting amount of a composition comprising at least one polyalkylene imine and (2) the dyed textiles so treated.
