ELECTRIC WATERPR0oFISG OF FABRICS
From The Electrical World and Enrinear

From me Electrical World and Engineer.
For some time past J. T. Van Ciestel has bean az
work on the electrical waterproofng of fabrics
and two patents on the process and the apparatus
have now been issued to him. Attempts to make
fabrics waterproof and to set the dye therein bv
the use OF the electric current have been made
but they have, II Is said. only partially succeeded
failed entirely In of these attempts the wet
fabric was passed between an oXidizable anode and
a cathode with the expectation that the anode
would be oXidized and the oxide carried into the
fabric. This attempt Intellectual In the pres
ent invention to effect waterproohng the fabric is
saturated in a bath of soluble metallic salts and
then subjected to the acOn OF the electric current
which causes an oxide Of the metal to be formed In
the interstices OF the fabric. In fixing a dye the
metallic salts mingled with the dye in the goods
under the influence of the electric current thereby
acting as mordant in fixing the dye. 1t is found
better TO pass an electric current through
OF metallic salts while the fabric to be treated is
Immersed therein. By this means the salts are
carried into the interstices of the fabric and
EVENLY distributed through II. Mr.. Van Gestel
has devised apparatus which enables him to treat
both sides or the fabric alike II passes through.
Just what the action is that takes place does not
clear. but the fact is that the electric cur

on the opposite sides or the wet fabric, causes
oxidation 20 take place and produces peculiar
waterproofed or water repellant effect upon the

which Is probably combined with the ibres both
