  • Dyeable polyolefin compositions and dyeing polyolefin compositions
    Patent number: 5550192
    Abstract: Disperse dyeable compositions of ethylene alkyl acrylate grafted onto polypropylene are provided. A process for disperse dyeing polypropylene fibers is provided. This process comprises (a) extruding the polypropylene with about 2 to 10% by weight of a thermoplastic copolymer of ethylene and alkyl acrylates having one to four carbon atoms in the alkyl group into fibers, and (b) exposing the fibers to a disperse dye bath containing a selected disperse dye.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 1995
    Date of Patent: August 27, 1996
    Assignee: Lyondell Petrochemical Company
    Inventors: Paresh J. Sheth, Venkatramana Chandrashekar, Roger R. Kolm
  • Dyeable polyolefin compositions and dyeing polyolefin compositions
    Patent number: 5468259
    Abstract: Disperse dyeable compositions of ethylene alkylacrylate grafted onto polyolefin (isotactic polypropylene) are provided. A process for disperse dyeing polyolefin (isotactic polypropylene) shaped into articles such as fibers is provided. This process comprises (1) extruding the polyolefin with about 2 to 30 percent by weight of a thermoplastic copolymer of ethylene and alkylacrylates having one or four carbons in the alkyl group into fibers, and (2) exposing the fibers to a disperse dye bath containing a disperse dye.
