Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 23,083. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 18. Dyeing.-Relates to the dyeing of vegetable fibre with sulphur colouring-matters. It is stated that the advantages obtained by the known process of adding ammonium salts to. the alkali-sulphide bath, namely: level and uniform shades, are due to neutralization of free alkali by the ammonium salts and are attainable by the use of other neutral - izing-agents, e.g. salts such as sodium bicarbonate or bisulphate, or tartar, or acids such as sulphuric or acetic acid. The neutralizing-agents are added until sulphuretted hydrogen is evolved, but no dyestuff or leuco-compound must precipitate. In an example, sodium bicarbonate is added to an aqueous bath containing katigen indigo R L extra, and sodium sulphide and sulphate. In a similar bath containing katigen indigo B extra, sulphuric acid replaces the bicarbonate. Cotton yarn is dyed in either of these baths squeezed out, exposed to the air, and rinsed.
