Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns during cable or air twisting processes, or heat setting processes, prior to weaving, knitting or tufting. Further discloses are process for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns prior to heat setting. The processes forego the need to dye and otherwise treat carpets and other textiles made from the BCF yarn using current methods. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed process.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions for treating textiles, including carpet and other floor coverings. Compositions of the present invention, in some embodiments, can impart flame resistant and/or stain resistant properties to fibers, including synthetic fibers comprising polyolefins, polyamides, and polyesters such as polytrimethylene terephthalate.

Wässrige Formulierungen, enthaltend (A) mindestens ein Pigment, (B) mindestens ein Carbodiimid, (C) mindestens ein statistisches Polyurethan, und (D) gegebenenfalls mindestens ein Polyacrylat, das keine Comonomere einpolymerisiert enthält, die bei Einwirkung von Temperaturen im Bereich von 100 bis 250°C pro Mol ein Äquivalent Formaldehyd abspalten können.
Abstract:
The invention encompasses a fabric book with high resolution sublimation printed images and a method of making such a fabric book. The fabric book of the invention has a plurality of fabric pages. The fabric pages are made of a synthetic material with an original softness corresponding to the synthetic material. At least one fabric page has a high resolution sublimation printed image imprinted using the method of the invention. The fabric page with the high resolution image substantially retains the original softness, even after printing. The preferred method of creating the high resolution images in the fabric books begins with selecting an appropriate original object. A digital rendition of the original object is created. The digital rendition is edited to create an edited image with optimum print resolution. A color separation is performed on the edited image to create a color separated image. Optimal sublimation inks are prepared and suitable sublimation paper is selected. Using the optimal sublimation inks, the color separated image is printed onto film or directly onto a plate. The image is then offset printed onto the suitable sublimation paper. The image is sublimated from the sublimation paper to a fabric sheet creating a fabric sheet with a high resolution image. To create the high resolution on the fabric sheet, the imprinted portion of the fabric sheet may be polyester, nylon, and polyester/cotton blend fabrics (no more than 5 % cotton), and the like, but not cotton or other naturally occurring fabrics. The fabric sheet with the high resolution image may then be combined with other fabric sheets (with or without high resolution images) to form a fabric book.
Abstract:
A process for the continuous dyeing of plastic films, such as polyethylene terephthalate, is characterized by passing the film through a dye bath comprised of dye stuffs dissolved, suspended or dispersed in a liquid carrier comprised at least in part of a polymer, preferably a polyol, having at least one free hydroxyl group and a molecular weight within the range of from about 200 to about 600. The hydrogen bonding provided by the hydroxyl group, together with the high molecular weight and high boiling point of the polyol, mitigate against migration of the dye stuff out of the film, i.e., fading of the film, and impart long lasting color fastness to the film. Rapid diffusion of the dye bath into the film is enhanced by thermal and ultrasonic energization of the bath.
Abstract:
Use of pigments according to formula (I) (formula see on enclosed paper version) wherein the substituents have the meanings as defined in claim 1 for dyeing semisynthetic or synthetic hydrophobic fiber materials in aqueous media as well as semisynthetic or synthetic hydrophobic fiber materials dyed with such pigments.
