Abstract: A process for the dyeing of a fibrous article containing fibers of a polyamide polymer with an anionic dye and dyed products made by the process. The process includes immersing the article in a dyeing bath of a liquid solvent for the anionic dye. The liquid solvent and the article are heated to a temperature at least equal to the dyeing transition temperature of the fiber of polyamide polymer. The anionic dye is added to the dyeing bath as a miscible liquid concentrate at a dye addition rate during a controlled dye addition period. At least a portion of the dye is added while the solvent and the article are at a temperature at least equal to the dyeing transition temperature.

Abstract: This invention relates to improved methods and compositions to enhance stain resistance of carpet fiber. The improved methods relate to a continuous aftertreatment for dyed carpet fabric and to two-step processes, either batch-batch, batch-continuous or continuous-continuous. The improved compositions are used in the processes to enhance stain resistance of carpet or carpet fiber and to overcome various prior drawbacks, such as, yellowing, oxidation and durability to cleaning. The sulfonated aromatic condensates are used to enhance stain resistance, and can be combined with fluorocarbon compounds for soil resistance, thiocyanates, and/or salts having divalent cations, such as magnesium sulfate. Also various dispersing agents, buffering acids and sequestering agents are disclosed.
