Title: Dyeing process
Inventor: MAWSON JACK FRANKLAND
IPC: D06P3/60
Filed: 1962-02-26
Abstract: Textile materials consisting wholly or partly of cellulose are dyed by contacting them in the presence of an acid with an aqueous solution of a dyestuff containing one or more N-alkylol groups and optionally with crease-proofing agents, thereafter storing the material to promote dye fixation and washing the material with an aqueous liquid.  The specified acids are hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric, phosphoric, trichloroacetic and oxalic acids, preferably the mineral acids at a strength of 4-6 normal.  The process may be advantageously carried out by padding an aqueous liquor containing dye, acid and optionally crease-proofing agent thereafter storing the material in the wet state below 60 DEG C. after which the material is neutralized, e.g. with soda ash, soaped, rinsed and dried.  The crease-prrofing agents may be the methylol or methylol ether compounds of glyoxalureins, triazones, melamine, ethylene urea or urea-formaldehyde condensates as well as formaldehyde, dialdehydes, polyacetals and polyepoxides.  Examples of dyeing and wet crease-proofing cotton poplin fabrics are given. Specifications 842,802, 875,712, 893,731, 898,958, 900,764, 904,227, 922,403 and 953,754 are referred to.
