Abstract: Method for forming a dye sublimation image in a substrate, particularly a plastic substrate, and apparatus to perform the method. According to the method taught by the present invention, a substrate is disposed on a perforated platen and a dye carrier having an image formed thereon of a dye sublimation ink is disposed on the substrate such that the image is in contact with the substrate. The substrate, dye carrier and at least a portion of the perforated platen are then covered with a flexible membrane. A clamping pressure is then applied to the substrate and the dye carrier through the membrane. Once the clamping pressure is attained, the substrate and dye carrier are first heated, then cooled.

Abstract: Aqueous dispersions (D) of a wax (W) dispersed in the aqueous phase by means of a dispersant (B), wherein in (D)the wax (W) is(A) an oxidized hydrocarbon wax or a mixture of oxidized hydrocarbon waxesor a mixture or (A) and at least one non-oxidized hydrocarbon wax (P), the acid number of which is.gtoreq.5,and the dispersant (B) isa non-ionogenic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant or a mixture of two or more of these surfactants, which displays an HLB.gtoreq.7,and the dispersion (D) optionally contains at least one protective colloid (C), at least one agent (E) for pH-adjustment, at least one antifreeze agent (F) and/or at least one preserving agent (D), but is substantially free of other waxes than (A) and (P) and of other surfactants than (B) and (C),are eminently suitable as wet lubricants that are very stable to temperature modifications and to high electrolyte concentrations, especially as occurring in pretreatment and in dyeing of cellulosic substrates.

Abstract: A wet process with no heating for continuous transfer pattern printing of a cellulose fabric web or its blends by using a corona-treated plastic film as a pattern carrier web and a dye admixed with a thickening agent containing water-soluble and alcohol-soluble hydroxypropyl cellulose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone as ink.

Abstract: A method of dyeing a webbing of a seat belt device having a step of padding a dye to a raw material for a webbing and a subsequent step of introducing the webbing into a hot blow furnace and color developing, wherein a webbing in a moistened state by padding of the dye is introduced into a hot blow furnace and drying and color development are conducted in the hot blow furnace.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method for embossing and decorating a thermoplastic velvet-like fabric. A transfer sheet supporting a thermally-activated decoration is simultaneously passed with a fabric between two rolls which are under pressure with respect to each other. At least one of the rolls is engraved so as to cause embossing of the fabric. The passing of the fabric and transfer sheet between the rolls is carried out at a temperature sufficient to activate the decoration and allow the transfer of the decoration to the embossed portions of the fabric. The fabric may be heated prior to the embossing-decorating step so that the velvet-like pile is at least partially plasticized. The fabric is then brushed to erect the pile to an erect position. If the decorating is printing, the fabric may be heated immediately before and after the embossing/printing step to transfer a sufficient amount of dye, and to penetrate and seal the dye within the fabric.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for fixing reactive dyes on cellulosic textile material and to apparatus for carrying out said process.The process comprises wetting the dried fibre material, which has been printed with reactive dyes, with water, covering the printed material with water-impermeable material and subjecting it to a heat treatment. The fixation can be carried out with advantage using minor amounts of urea, but preferably without urea, to give prints of good quality.

Abstract: Printing of a surface of a tissue web, such as used for facial and bath tissue, with a colorant in a pattern of small colored areas. From about 5 to about 25 percent of the surface is covered by the small colored areas, so that the surface macroscopically appears to be a solid color.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dyeing or otherwise treating yarns wherein the yarn is made into a substrate having tranvsersely laid yarns, foamed dye is placed on the substrate, and the foamed substrate is impacted to cause penetration of the foam through the substrate. The apparatus may include a hammer-like impactor acting against an anvil for impacting the foamed substrate, and the impactor may be driven by mechanical arrangements, or by ultrasonic sound drive means. The apparatus may also include impacting rollers wherein the diameter of the roller is small, and the rate of rotation high, so the rate of increase in pressure on the substrate by the rollers is equal to impaction.

Abstract: The very economical padding methods for applying liquid treatment agents and which have largely become established for flat-lying material are also interesting for dyeing and finishing tubular textile material. In the latter case, the use of this technique is however opposed by the finding that on impregnating circular-knitted goods on a pad mangle the squeeze edges are marked on both sides of the tube, which gives rise, for example, to undesirable color differences. According to the invention, this adverse phenomenon and the problems arising therefrom can be avoided if, through maintaining a relatively high liquor pick-up by the textile material and through mechanical shifting of the edges, the liquor is enabled to level out any unevenness produced on squeezing.

Abstract: An improved process for dyeing of diverse fibre material, especially textile fibres, by applying to the fibre material at a temperature below the absorption temperature of the dyestuffs a concentrated aqueous dye liquor and with a goods to liquor ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:4, the said aqueous dye liquor containing at least one dyestuff which, in the case of the substrate to be dyed, has affinity to the fibres and which is either soluble or dispersible in water and 0.2 to 10 g/l, preferably 2 to 5 g/l, of a non-foaming anionic dispersing agent from the class of aromatic sulphonic acids or the water-soluble salts thereof, and finishing of the dyeing by means of a heat treatment, e.g. introduction of saturated steam, superheated steam or hot air, preferably by heating from without, at temperatures of 95.degree. to 140.degree.
