Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process for tanning, pretanning or retanning leather comprising the steps of: a) providing leather stock, tanned or pre-tanned leather b) treating the leather or leather stock of step a) with an aqueous composition and/or a powder composition comprising at least one carboxymethyl cellulose and/or its salts (CMC), and c) drying.
Abstract:
Provided is a black porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane including a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane dyed black. A whiteness of a principal face of the black porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane as measured according to JIS L 1015 (Hunter method) is 18.0 to 23.0%, and the whiteness of the principal face falls within a range of 18.0 and 25.0% after heating at 350°C for 1 minute. This black porous PTFE membrane is suitable as a gas-permeable membrane that blocks entry of water and/or dust and that allows permeation of gases; specifically, the black porous PTFE membrane is suitable, for example, as a waterproof sound-transmitting membrane, a waterproof gas-permeable membrane, and a dustproof gas-permeable membrane.
Abstract:
A textile fabric is printed with a colour by first applying to selected areas of the fabric a non-coloured composition comprising 4% to 40% by weight of at least one strong base MOH, where M is an alkali metal, water and a thickener; and the fabric is then treated with a dye that is suitable to react with said base to impart a colour on said fabric area where said composition was applied.
Abstract:
Use of the customary dyes for the type of fibre in question and using the customary dyeing and/or printing processes for the type of fibre in question for minimally reducing, retaining or increasing the NIR reflectance, preferably increasing the NIR reflectance, in the region of electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 700 nm to 1100 nm of textile material in relation to the undyed and untreated textile material, characterized in that metal-free dyes are used.
Abstract:
A method for post-dyeing photopolymer parts. It may be used for custom ear shells for hearing aid applications or for adding color to any stereo-lithography part that is made from a suitable clear-based photopolymer resin.
Abstract:
Colouring process of Polypropylene/polystyrene support, especially fibres, threads, layers and films, in which the support is coloured by means of an aqueous composition comprising from 0.1 to 4% by weight disperse dye, organic acid with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and at least a surfactant, whereby said colouring is at least operated partly at a temperature higher than 90°C.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ink for dyeing a plastic lens, capable of favorably dyeing the plastic lens by a vapor transfer dyeing method, and a method of dyeing a plastic lens by using the ink. In the present invention, an ink for dyeing a plastic lens, the ink being applied by an ink jet printer, sublimated in vacuum and deposited on the plastic lens to dye the lens, wherein the ink includes at least one sublimatable disperse dye of an anthraquinone dye, a quinophthalone dye, and an azo dye of thiazole type.
Abstract:
A reactive dye compound comprising: (a) at least one chromophore moiety; (b) at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle; (c) a linking group to link each chromophore moiety to each nitrogen-containing heterocycle; characterised in that at least one nitrogen-containing heterocycle is substituted with at least one Y group whrein Y is a phosphonate or a borate derivative. The compounds herein have high Exhaustion Values (E), high Fixation Values (F) and high Efficiency Values (T) and show significant improvements in terms of reducing spent dyestuff in effluent, increasing dye affinity to the substrate, increasing the dye-substrate covalent bonding, increasing the ability to dye substrates at room temperature, decreasing the amount of dye that is removed during the post dyeing 'soaping off process' and therefore simplifying the post dyeing 'soaping off process' traditionally associated with dyeing cotton with fibre reactive dyes and reduction of staining of adjacent white fabrics. In addition, the compounds prepared above provide more intense dyeings and require less levels of salt for dyeing cotton substrates.
