Abstract:
1. A method of making a composition for spray application onto surfaces of a cotton fabric, consisting of: mixing together a reactive dye, a wetter, and water to form a solution, the wetter being selected from the group consisting of a first surfactant, wherein the first surfactant is a blend of sulfuric acid disodium salt and phosphoric acid trisodium salt, and a second surfactant, wherein the second surfactant is sodium dioctyle sulfosuccinate; and adding an alkali to the solution to complete the composition at a time that allows spray application of the solution onto the surfaces of a cotton fabric before the dye hydrolyzes, the alkali being selected from the group consisting of a first combination of soda ash, potassium carbonate and phosphate, and a second combination of sodium silicate and a caustic.
