Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a method for changing the color of a textile material to obtain a vintage and/or worn appearance comprising the steps of contacting the fabric textile material with a nitrate salt, activating the nitrate salt by the addition of an acid catalyst until the desired color change is achieved.

Claim (Index 12):
The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of organic or inorganic acids, organic or inorganic chlorides, sulfates, phosphates, borates, fluorides, acid forming esters, amino acid hydrochlorides, and Lewis acid chlorides, wherein the catalyst is preferably acidic and is selected from the group consisting of methanesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, salicylic acid, a Lewis acid chloride and mixtures thereof, and wherein when the acidic catalyst is a Lewis acid chloride the acidic catalyst is selected from the group consisting of ferric chloride, zinc chloride, lithium chloride, copper chloride, magnesium chloride or aluminum chloride and a sulfate as magnesium sulfate, iron sulfate, iron sulfate, cerium sulfate, vanadium sulfate, copper sulfate, lithium sulfate, aluminum sulfate, potassium aluminum sulfate, ammonium aluminum sulfate, sodium sulfate, sodium hydrogen sulfate, zinc sulfate and manganese sulfate, and the phosphate is a monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, monomagnesium phosphate, dimagnesium phosphate, trimagnesium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, disodium pyrophosphate, trisodium pyrophosphate, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium triphosphate, and pentapotassium triphosphate.
