Abstract: A dye solution for dyeing polyester fabric including dye, a liquid carrier, an acidic agent, and a thickening agent. The carrier is selected to enhance the permeability of the polyester fabric at a certain temperature so that the dye can penetrate within the fabric. A method of printing designs on polyester fabric including creating a dye solution with water, a dye, a carrier liquid and an acidic solution. The dye solution is applied to the fabric in a desired pattern. The fabric and dye solution are then dried in as drier so that the temperature of the carrier is raised to permit the carrier to enhance the permeability of the fabric and have the dye penetrate the fabric. The carrier is then driven out of the fabric by the dryer and no pressure is applied to the fabric during the drying process.

Abstract: The chambray fabric of the present invention is comprised of a warp of one type of yarn and a filling of a second type of yarn, one yarn type being comprised of cellulosic fibers and the second yarn type being comprised of synthetic fibers. The yarns are first woven into a greige fabric that is then preferentially dyed to achieve the desired chambray appearance. In a preferred embodiment, the warp yarns are polyester and the filling yarns are cotton, with the polyester being preferentially dyed. The process described herein results in greater production efficiency and ease of manufacture and produces a fabric having superior characteristics in terms of stretch, strength, and tear resistance.

Abstract: A process for improving characteristics such as, whiteness retention, degradation, and dyeability of a polyamide by contacting the polyamide with thiocyanate. A polyamide produced by the process has improved dyed color depth, dyed color uniformity, hue, elimination of light dyeing ends, protection of dye sites from degradation, protection from UV degradation, reduced yellowing or oxidation, and/or resistance to loss of dyeability.

Abstract: A method for finishing a cellulose fiber-containing textile fabric comprises treating a cellulose fiber-containing textile fabric with liquid ammonia, applying a resin finishing agent to said fabric, subjecting subsequently to either or both of a hot calendering treatment and a heat treatment, and finally treating the resultant fabric with hot water. The resultant fabric keeps its shape stability including a crease or shrink resistance when washed, without involving any problem on residual formaldehyde.

Abstract: Multicolored stain-resistant nylon carpet is prepared by tufting a space dyed cationic-dyeable carpet nylon, dyed with an acid or premetalized dye intermixed and tufted with an acid dyeable nylon and overdyed with an acid dye to selectively dye the acid dyeable fibers but not the already space dyed yarns.

Abstract: A predominantly polyester fabric has a multi-colored pattern. The fabric includes at least one non-aromatic, partially crystalline polymethylolefin yarn melting above about 180.degree. as less than 50%, by weight, of the fabric, and polyester yarn. The polymethylpentene yarn and the polyester yarn are fabricated in a predetermined pattern and then piece dyed with disperse dye techniques.

Abstract: A light stabile composition for imparting stain resistance to polyamide fiber-containing textile articles (e.g. nylon, wool or silk carpets) comprises a halogenated (e.g. brominated or chlorinated) aryl group-containing product of the condensation polymerization of a hydroxyaryl sulfonic acid (e.g., para-hydroxyphenyl sulfonic acid), a dihydroxydiaryl sulfone (e.g., dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone) and an aldehyde (e.g., formaldehyde). The polyamide fiber-containing textile articles are converted to a stain resistant product by containing the fibers with an acidified aqueous solution of the aforesaid composition.

Abstract: According to the invention the reels 10 of cellulose thread wound in a loose manner around a hollow perforated core are arranged on the nozzles 9 carried by the hollow arms 8 of a rotor 7a placed on a hollow frame 7 situated at the bottom of a tank 6. A pump 13 causes the nitrating medium 15 consisting of a mixture of nitric acid and methylene chloride to circulate into the pipe 14 from where it passes into the frame 7 and then to the rotor 7a from where it is brought under pressure via the pipes 8 and the nozzles 9 to the hollow perforated core of each reel. The nitrating medium then passes radially along the mass of thread making up each reel and returns to the pump 13 via the pipes 12. After nitration the nitrocellulose threads are immediately stabilized by washing them with water in a similar installation to that used for nitration.

Abstract: Described herein is a process for the coloration of short pile fabrics, the process enabling the manufacture of various colors of pile fabric from a single intermediate fabric, the intermediate fabric having a precolored, undyeable, transparent face fiber.
