Abstract: In the textile industry there is a constant need for processes where the textile material to be treated can be treated in a simple form, for example in rope form instead of in the open-width state, and continuously. According to the invention, this need is met when the textile material is introduced via pressure seal elements into a specially constructed jet dyeing machine, is impregnated there with treating liquor during entry or immediately thereafter and is conveyed further in the machine by means of at least one jet operated by means of a gas stream, the treating agent applied, preferably dye, having advantageously been subjected to fixation in the course of the presence in the gas atmosphere. The necessary physical conditions (pressure, temperature) for this are created by the driving gas. Moreover, in the course of the passage of the textile material it is possible to carry out a further, including a completely different, impregnation.

Abstract: Trichromatic dyeings with acid dyes which exhaust from strongly acidic liquors have weaknesses with respect to wet fastness, which are due to insufficiently fast components (blue, red). It has been found, according to the invention, that by replacing the insufficiently fast acid dyes by reactive dyes of the vinylsulfonyl type and retaining the method of dyeing under strongly acidic conditions the wet fastness level of the exhaust dyeings can be improved while the levelness obtained remains as good.

Abstract: In industry there is, for economic reasons, an urgent need to be able to carry out the drying of moist textile material immediately after a completed wet-treatment in the same apparatus in which the preceding treatment operation was carried out.According to the invention the problems arising in the case of textile materials treated in rope form on jet units are solved by evaporatively dewatering the textile material in rope form by means of the gaseous agent which in the case of fabric-advancing jet systems operated by flowing liquor, steam or hot air takes over the transport of the goods immediately after the wet-treatment and which acts on the textile material under a predetermined variable superatmospheric pressure, then cooling the circulating drive gas to condense out the absorbed moisture, and recirculating the air thus dried.

Abstract: Process for dyeing textile wovens or knits made of polyester fibers or mixtures thereof with other fibers in jet dyeing machines.The recently developed jet dyeing machines with aerodynamic fabric transport permit a drastic shortening of the liquor ratio and of the addition of higly concentrated dye solutions or dispersions directly into the driving gas circulation system under isothermal conditions. However, the prerequisite is dyes in finished form.According to the invention, it has now been found that the costly finishing treatment is dispensible when non-finished disperse dyes are dissolved highly concentratedly in suitable, preferably water-miscible, ecologically and toxicologically safe organic solvents, and these solutions are metered with the aid of the new technology specifically into the circulating gas stream to form a dispersion of the dyes which then produces a level dyeing on the textile material.

Abstract: After a dyeing operation has been concluded, the hot dyeing liquor present in the piece dyeing jet is returned via a cooling heat exchanger in the dyeing circulation system back into the makeup storage vessel for the dyeing liquor. Thereafter, the liquor-free dyeing system, which is still under an elevated static pressure, is relieved to atmospheric whereby the dyeing system is cooled down adiabatically together with the dyed textile material present therein to such an extent that a sample can be taken therefrom rapidly and safely.

Abstract: Process and apparatus are provided for the batchwise wet treatment of textile material with an aqueous liquor that contains dyestuff or other textile processing products according to an exhaust technique. Textile material in continuous loop form is recirculated in a jet dyeing machine, and a recirculating gas stream propels the material. A blower recirculates the gas stream while aqueous liquor is metered into the stream by aspirating the liquor at the upstream side of the blower. The action of the blower finely disperses the liquor within the gas stream.

Abstract: Because the high dyeing temperatures employed necessitate the use of formaldehyde as customary wool-protecting agent and because of the resulting sealing problems on jet-dyeing machines, an HT dyeing of polyester fibre/wool blends cannot be carried out without polluting the environment. If, however, to achieve this purpose, lower temperatures are employed and the consequently required carriers are added directly to the dyeing liquor, this in turn gives rise to levelness problems and fastness reductions on the wool portion of the textile material.It has now been found according to the invention that by metering the carrier under isothermal conditions into the dyeing after 10-20 minutes via the gas stream driving the textile material it is possible to obtain a homogeneous distribution thereof and its full effectiveness without fastness losses. The dyeing can be completed 10-30 minutes later. All the advantages of jet dyeing are fully retained in this process.

Abstract: The dyeing of wool with reactive dyes in a strongly acid medium (containing sulfuric acid) requires no longer acceptable, long heating-up times (50-60 minutes) in order to obtain level dyeings. It has now been found, according to the invention, that by rapidly heating up the dyebath which contains the dyes of the vinylsulfonyl type and also all the ingredients, except the acid, to the dyeing temperature together with the material to be dyed and then metering in the sulfuric acid under isothermal conditions at the dyeing temperature it is possible to obtain very level and very fast dyeings in a significantly shorter overall dyeing time. Carbonized wool can be dyed without prior neutralization.

Abstract: The level dyeing of wool with reactive dyes and simultaneous endeavors to shorten the dyeing process appear to be incompatible. It has now been found, according to the invention, that in the course of the exhaustion process it is possible through metered addition of the acid required for fixation over a prolonged period to the dyebath which is already at the dyeing temperature and contains no acidic fixing agent to obtain a shortening in the total treatment time while at the same time safeguarding the levelness of the dyeings.

Abstract: Hitherto there has been no practical pad-dwell process for wool piece goods which could be carried out without using large amounts of textile assistants. In addition, it has been necessary with all these processes to supply energy. Furthermore, large amounts of urea have always been used, which inevitably resulted in a high degree of waste water pollution. It has now been recognized according to the invention that satisfactory results can be obtained in the dyeing of wool piece goods with reactive dyes by effecting the padding operation with the dye solutions within the pH range from 1.5 to 4 and at room temperature and the subsequent dwell operation to obtain dye fixation without supply of heat. To prevent the formation of a frosting effect and to obtain deeper shades it is expediently possible also to add to the padding liquor nitrogen-containing ethoxylation products, in particular ethoxylated fatty amines, and/or alkyl polyglycol ethers.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for applying in a continuous and level manner aqueous impregnating liquors to water-wet textile goods to prevent unlevelness of the liquor applied to the goods. This is accomplished by partly or completely exchanging the moisture on the goods by sucking or pressing liquor through the goods and by circulating the liquor to be applied while maintaining its volume and concentration at a constant value. The new technique makes it possible to dispense with the customary intermediate drying stage after the pretreatment.

Abstract: The crease displacement and the achievable dilution factor in the conventional continuous pretreatment or aftertreatment operations of fabric ropes with liquid means in rope washers are not adequate, and consequently the water consumption necessary for satisfactory results is too high. To date the existing problems can only be solved with squeeze rollers which, however, have an adverse effect on the goods.According to the invention the textile rope is now introduced into a treatment store of a liquid-operated jet apparatus, is subjected to the action of the treatment liquor, is then carried along by a steam- or more generally gas-operated jet arrangement and conveyed into an interim store, where dewatering takes place. From the interim store the goods, with satisfactory dilution factor, are then passed to the next isothermal or non-isothermal treatment stage of the same or a very similar structure.

Abstract: Inventive considerations have shown that the use of shorter liquid ratios can be realized in the course of wet-treating textile ropes in jet dyeing machines if the textile goods are driven by means of a non-inert gas stream and the dyestuff or product formulations necessary for carrying out the type of treatment desired are brought into contact with the goods by atomization into the circulated gaseous driving agent.

Abstract: A process for the continuous dyeing of fabric webs, in which the fabric web is impregnated at a temperature between 20.degree. and 95.degree. C. with an aqueous liquor which contains dissolved and/or dispersed dyestuffs and squeezed, and the dyestuffs are fixed in a steam/air mixture, which comprises fixing the dyestuff without the impregnated fabric having been dried at an intermediate stage, keeping the dry temperature of the steam/air mixture between 110.degree. and 140.degree. C., adjusting the steam content of the steam air mixture in such a way that the wet temperature of the moist fabric web is between 50.degree. and 95.degree. C., and fixing the dyestuffs for at least 20 seconds.

Abstract: In order to maintain at a constant value the quantity of liquor applied in the wet-on-wet application of two liquors of differing composition, it is necessary that the fabric web which is wet from the preceding wet treatment is first uniformly partially dewatered and the second liquor is then applied uniformly. By using high-moisture measuring instruments after the dewatering and also controlling the same with the aid of measured values, and by proceeding similarly after the repeated application of liquor, it is possible to stay within the tolerances which are necessary to ensure the uniformity of the two processes.

Abstract: In the dyeing of cellulose knitted fabrics in hose form, according to a two-bath procedure, with azo dyes produced on the fiber by coupling of their formation components, it was hitherto impossible on an industrial scale to forward the developing liquor in a sufficiently rapid manner into the interior of the textile hose, after impregnation of said tubular goods in a winch beck using the exhaust technique. Dyestuff development without intermediate drying was impeded by the insufficient liquor uptake of the flattened textile material that had previously been impregnated on subsequent slop-padding wet-in-wet with the developing liquor.By incorporation of an auxiliaries' combination comprising homo- or copolymers of acrylic acid amide and a wetting agent in said developing liquor, the liquor uptake thereof by the moist fiber material is increased and the penetration rate of this liquor during the coupling is incited in such a manner that textile hoses which exhibit even, well penetrated dyeings are obtained.

Abstract: In order to achieve lighter patterned effects on a background of a deeper color, aqueous printing pastes containing, additionally to thickeners and other conventional printing assistants, assistants which have dissolving properties for the dyestuffs at elevated temperatures and which do not attack the fibers under thermosol conditions, are applied to textile webs which have been dyed in a finished manner with suitable dyestuffs or have only been impregnated therewith, after which the goods treated in this way are subjected to a steaming process or to a dry heat treatment. In accordance with the process it is possible to effect a uniform lightening, "white discharging" or "colored discharging" of dyeings, particularly dyeings of synthetic fibers with disperse dyestuffs and also dyeings of natural fibers or mixtures thereof with disperse dyestuffs, vat dyestuffs, leuco esters thereof and developing dyestuffs.
