摘要:
A method of dyeing a blend of modacrylic fiber and aramid fiber employing a cationic dye and dye assistant employs a concentration of dye assistants not greater than 10 grams per liter of dye bath.

An iridescent effect is achieved in satin weave filling-faced fabric using sheath-core filaments wherein the core is dyed to a color that is different from that of the sheath.
摘要:
Systems and methods for dyeing inherently flame resistant fibers, and particularly aramid fibers, without the use of accelerants or carriers. Fabrics made from aramid fibers or blends thereof are immersed in an aqueous dye bath that includes at least one dye and at least one acid component. The temperature of the dye bath is increased from room temperature to a suitable temperature (e.g., between approximately 285°F to 400°F) capable of rendering the aramid fibers less crystalline so that the fibers can accept the dye. In this way, suitable color yields may be obtained without the use of accelerants or carriers as have been required in the past.
摘要:
Flame resistant stretch fabrics made from aramid fibers and elastomeric fibers and methods and systems for dyeing such fabrics while significantly retaining the stretch properties of the fabrics. Such methods and systems include the use of certain dye carriers not conventionally used in the aramid dyeing process that enable the fabric to be dyed under normal aramid dyeing conditions without eliminating or significantly impacting the stretch properties of the fabric. Such suitable dye carriers for use in the process include, but are not limited to, benzyl alcohol, butyl benzoate, n-butyl phthalimide, isopropyl phthalimide, dimethyl phthalate, biphenyl, monochlorotoluene, and combinations thereof. Phthalimides, and more particularly blends of n-butyl phthalimide and isopropyl phthalimide, have proven particularly effective at dyeing the aramid fibers at high temperatures while retaining the elastomeric properties of the fabric. The dyed flame resistant stretch fabrics of this invention can be used to construct, among other things, the entirety or various portions of, a variety of protective garments for protecting the wearer against electrical arc flash and flames, including, but not limited to, coveralls, jumpsuits, shirts, jackets, vests, and trousers.
摘要:
The visual appearance of undyed or unpigmented para-aramid fabric generally present in an article of clothing is restored by contacting the fabric with an aqueous dye solution or dispersion to dye the aramid fibrils present on the yarns. Use of a conventional washing machine is suitable in the fabric contact with the dye.
摘要:
Glycol ether benzoates, glycol benzoates and methyl benzoate facilitate the dyeing of the meta-aramid article, e.g., fibers, at or near neutral pH. The addition of an anionic surfactant, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, enhances the performance of the benzoates.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of applying dye and stainblocker to a substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers which reduces or eliminates the need for subsequent reapplication of dye. The present invention solves the problem of cationic dye removal resulting from stainblocker application by providing a method wherein application of stainblocker precedes the application of dye to a substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers. Surprisingly, the invention provides a method wherein the effectiveness of cationic dye application is improved when preceded by stainblocker application compared to stainblocker application preceded by cationic dye application. The substrate comprising cationically dyeable fibers preferably further comprises acid dyeable fibers wherein even more preferably, said cationically dyeable fibers and acid dyeable fibers are attached to a backing to form a carpet.
