Abstract:
A disperse dyeable fiber or filament is comprised principally of polyolefin modified with PETG to accept the disperse dyes. The combining of maleic anhydride with the PETG provides good dispersion of the PETG for uniform dye results. Novel textile fabric, knitted, woven and non-woven, can be formed with yarns or fibers formed in accordance with the invention. In one aspect of the invention, fabric can be disperse dyed to a light, medium or deep solid shade. In another aspect, the textile fabrics are manufactured using olefin yarns that contain variable amounts of dye acceptor additives. A fabric with more than one tone of a color thus can be dyed in a single dye bath. The fabrics and yarn according to this invention can be processed using conventional spinning, weaving, knitting, web formingl machines and will dye using existing dyeing and finishing systems. This invention is of particular value in the apparel and home furnishings industry.
Abstract:
A novel knitted or woven fabric manufactured using at least one solution dyed or pigmented yarn, preferably polypropylene, which will not accept any type dye normally used to dye knitted or woven fabrics, and at least one yarn that will accept at least one dye normally used to dye knitted or woven fabrics. The fabric with this combination of yarns is dyed, and only the last mentioned yarn accepts the dye. Novel and pleasing effects can be achieved.
Abstract:
A textile yarn consisting of a blend lightweight olefin fibers that has a specific gravity of .91 to 1.0 blended with cotton fibers that have a specific gravity of more that 1.0 made using commercially available cotton spinning systems, and the textile articles manufactured using said yarn. This invention takes advantage of the fact that during the spinning process, centrifugal force slings most of the heavier cotton fiber to the outside while the lighter weight olefin remains mostly in the core of the yarn thus formed. The system is especially useful when using cotton open end or air jet spinning systems. Novel fabrics can be made from the new yarns.

Abstract:
A carpet whose face yarn includes a bulked continuous filament face yarn wherein said yarn comprises: a) a bundle of drawn and crimped bi-component filaments, b) each filament consisting essentially of an outer lengthwise sheath of Nylon surrounding a core of polymeric material.
