Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to dyed melamine fabrics and methods for dyeing melamine fabrics. In one arrangement, the fabrics comprise a plurality of melamine fibers, wherein the flame resistant fabric has been dyed through a beam dyeing process in which the fabric has not been mechanically agitated. In one arrangement, the methods comprise the steps of wrapping melamine fabric around a perforated beam of a beam dyeing machine such that several layers of fabric surround the beam, injecting dyebath into the beam so that it penetrates the fabric layers, and circulating the dyebath through the fabric layers until the fabric is dyed to a desired shade.

Abstract: In textile products (e.g. yarns, woven fabrics, knit fabrics) comprising highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers (made of acrylic fibers by partially hydrolyzing a nitrile group to generate an amido group and a carboxylic acid group), fibers blended with the highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers can be dyed in an even hue. A pre-dyeing treatment process for such textile products (e.g. yarns, woven fabrics, knit fabrics) comprising highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers comprises a pretreatment step of immersing the textile product into an acidic solution and treating it at a high temperature and an elevated pressure. A dyeing process comprises the steps of conducting this pre-dyeing treatment process, and thereafter conventionally dyeing fibers blended with the highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers. A pretreated and undyed textile product and a dyed textile product are obtained by the pre-dyeing treatment process and the dyeing process mentioned above, respectively.

Abstract: Textiles made of synthetic fibers and synthetic fiber blended fabrics are constructed in the form of a garment then dyed while avoiding setting permanent creases and permanent wrinkles in the garment. The process includes selecting a synthetic or synthetic blended fabric for the dyeing process by determining the fabric's shrinkage in the warp and fill directions, for instance no greater than 6%, constructing a garment from the fabric selected, then dyeing the constructed garment in an aqueous dyebath at a temperature in the range of 220 to 260° F. for a time sufficient to achieve a desired shade and levelness of color followed by drying and optionally pressing the dyed garment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble addition polymer which is produced from a carboxylated diol represented by the following general formula (I) and a polyisocyanate and has an acid value of 100 or 250, and an aqueous ink using this polymer as a dispersant for a disperse dye: wherein the residue A is an aromatic, alicyclic or aliphatic polybasic acid residue, and the residue B is a trivalent aliphatic alcohol residue.

Abstract: Textiles are first manufactured to attain dimensional stability and durability and thereby withstand the rigors of industrial rental and commercial laundering. Then, the garments are dyed in a two-stage process to yield outstanding colorfastness, pilling resistance, dimensional stability and durability. Garments are yielded that, even after extensive use, may be overdyed to custom colors in custom-sized batches to extend the useful life of stained or otherwise discolored garments. By performing the dyeing and/or overdyeing portions of the process at a location near the end user of the textile, transaction costs related to transportation of goods are minimized, technical resources are efficiently utilized, and large inventories of dyed garments need not be maintained, thereby reducing inventory expenses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dyeing wood veneer. The veneer is immersed in a dye bath. The dye is preferably heated to speed up penetration times. The dye bath containing the veneer is then put into pressurized chamber and pressurized to 50-500 psi. The chamber is pressurized until the wood absorbs the amount of color that is desired. When the color is absorbed the pressure is released and the veneer is removed. The veneer is then washed with water until there is no bleeding and then air dried.
