Abstract: A dye composition, which comprising: (a) a mono azo dye of the formula (I) wherein R, R1, K, Y and m are defined the same as the specification; and (b)at least one azo dye selected from the group consisting of the following formula (II), (III) and (IV), wherein R, R2, R3, Y, (W)0˜3, (W?)0˜3, D, D1 and D2 are defined the same as the specification. These kinds of dye composition with good stability and build-up. The dye composition are suitable for dyeing and printing of materials containing either cellulose fibers, such as cotton, artificial cotton, linen, and artificial linen, or synthetic polyamide, such as wool, silk, and nylon etc. Dyed materials with excellent properties can be obtained, showing especially outstanding performance in of wash-off, built-up, level-dyeing, photochromism, wet-fastnes, ghosting fastness and light fastness.

Abstract: Pretreatment of a fabric using a material that binds to the fabric and changes some characteristic of the fabric. In an embodiment, the characteristic that is changed can be at least one of stain and flash for wrinkle resistance. The material can be Permafresh material. The material can bind to the fabric, and intends to be maintained within the fabric for the life of the fabric. After pretreatment, the pretreated material is processed by a laser which intends to change the look of the material without undesirably damaging the material. The treatment may make the treatment by lasers more consistent and allow the lazed graphic to maintain its quality after repeated washings and wearing.

Abstract: A textile dyeing method includes a drying step 100 of drying a natural material within a set temperature range in which a coloring component of the natural material is hardly altered, thereby bringing the natural material into an absolutely dried state or a nearby state, a pulverizing step 200 of pulverizing the dried natural material obtained in the drying step 100 into fine powder of not larger than particle size being passable through at least 80 mesh in terms of sieve standards while controlling temperature of the natural material not to exceed the set temperature range, and a dyeing step 300 of mixing and dispersing the fine powdery natural material into a liquid, and immersing a textile in the liquid containing the fine powdery natural material in suspended condition, thus causing the fine powdery natural material suspended in the liquid to be physically attached to the textile.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dyestuff of the formula (I) wherein each of G1 and G2, independently is hydrogen, (C1-C4)-alkyl, trifluoromethyl, halogen, nitro, cyano or —SO2—T, wherein T is halogen, (C1-C4)-alkyl, (C1-C4)-alkoxy, aryl or aryloxy; K is a coupling component; and n is 1 or 2. The invention also relates to a process for its preparation and their use and for ink jet printing containing the ink.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing carpet provides for an old art dyeing effect. Specifically, acid and cationic dyes are provided in a solution to a carpet tufted with cationic and acid dye fibers. The carpet is preferably tufted in such a way that there is a relative scarcity of one of the cationic and acid dye fibers at a first width. An abundance of the other dye accumulates in higher concentration than in surrounding areas at the first width. This higher concentration tends to diffuse and/or be moved by other mechanisms to the surrounding areas or widths where the dye attaches to appropriate contacts. This creates at least one of the dark band, a fade and/or a old art dye effect at that location. By precisely controlling the carpet fiber location at the upper surface, the dye solution and the dyeing process, fades and other process can be precisely controlled for repeatable performance as has not been experienced in the prior art.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a class of polyesters that are lightly crosslinked polyesters made by reacting alkoxyglyceryl units (linked by the reaction of their hydroxyl groups) to the carboxyl group of dimer acid. As will become clear, lightly crosslinked as used herein relates to reactions in which there is an excess of hydroxyl groups on a molar basis to carboxylic groups on the dimer acid. The polymers and a contribute softness, lubricity and antistatic properties when applied to hair, skin, textile fiber and paper.
