  • Patent number: 6818024
    Abstract: Fabric blends of inherently flame resistant fibers and flame resistant cellulosic fibers that contain a flame retardant. According to the method of production of these blends, the inherently flame resistant fibers can be dyed a full shade of color without depleting the flame retardant contained in the cellulosic fibers. In addition, the potential for laundering shrinkage of the inherently flame resistant fibers of the blends is reduced regardless of whether both, one of, or neither of the inherently flame resistant fibers and the flame resistant cellulosic fibers are dyed. Dyeing and/or shrinkage prevention of these blends is conducted at temperatures below 100° C., typically approximately between 70° C. and 100° C.

  • Patent number: 6814762
    Abstract: Provided is a hair dye composition containing a direct dye (1) or (2): [wherein, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 each represents a C1-6 alkyl group; R7 and R8 each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, an amino group or alkylamino group; R9 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-6 alkyl group; and X− represents an anion]. This hair dye composition undergoes a small change in color tone even after storage because it contains the direct dye (1) or (2) which has high stability against any one of an alkali agent, oxidizing agent and reducing agent, and at the same time, has markedly high hair dyeing power and exhibits excellent light resistance, washing resistance, perspiration resistance, friction resistance and heat resistance.

  • Patent number: 6391065
    Abstract: A water-dilutable UV light absorber composition and method for improving the lightfastness of dyed textiles is provided. The composition includes from about 5-75% by weight of an ultraviolet light absorbing agent selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole, benzophenone, and phenol substituted triazine; and from about 25-95% by weight of an organic solvent suitable for dissolving the ultraviolet light absorbing agent. The ultraviolet light absorbing agent is applied to the textiles in a concentration sufficient to result in an add-on in the range of between 0.4-4.0% by weight of the textiles when dry.
