'Digital Swatches' -- A Practical Guide.

An introduction to internet based color management software describes how the different parts of the textile color supply chain utilize shared digital color. The specifier sends the required color to the fabric dyer electronically and as a physical swatch. The dyer begins working on the lab dip as soon as the digital swatch arrives, and s..

The Early Development of the Munsell System.

A history of the Munsell color system uses the notes and sketches in Munsell's color diary to describe its development in a historical context. Albert Munsell studied art in the United States and Europe and became a lecturer in color composition and artistic anatomy. Hi began developing a color wheel in 1899 and developed all the key idea..

Fiber Blends with Elastane -- Recommendations for Pretreatment and Dyeing.

Long term storage of woven or knit elastane fabrics can result in degradation of silicone oils and auxiliaries, yellowing, and loss of elasticity. Cold setting can result in permanent crease marks. Circular knit fabrics with a high content of elastane fibers should be cut on the knitting machine and rolled in open width form. Scouring on ..

Pentracta for Increased Flexibility.

Benninger's Pentracta intensive wash box reduces soaping times during washing off. Steam and circulation spray pipes remove unfixed dye from the fibers. Steam that penetrates to the fiber core dilutes the hydrolysate via condensation. High temperatures enhance the kinetic mass transfer process of the hydrolysate from the fiber core to the..

Dyebath Reuse in Dyeing of Nylon Microfiber Nonwoven Fabrics with Binary Mixtures of 1:2 Metal Complex Dyes.

Researchers evaluated the feasibility of reusing dyebaths in dyeing nylon microfiber woven fabrics with various binary mixtures of metal complex dyes. CIELab coordinates of samples dyed in a fresh dyebath and samples dyed in a dyebath reused five times determined color reproducibility. The compatibility of the dye formulation and the exha..

Improving the Environmental and Economic Aspects of Cotton Dyeing Using a Cationised Cotton.

Researchers evaluated the dye yields and fastness properties of cotton knit fabrics reacted with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride. The treatment yielded cationic dye sites covalently bound to the polymer chains that strongly attracted anionic direct and reactive dyes. The treated cottons showed excellent color yields and colorfa..

Photoxidation of wool dye and TCP in aqueous solution using an innovative TiO₂ mesh electrode

An innovative titanium dioxide (TiO₂) mesh electrode was prepared by anodisation, in which 0.5 M sulphuric acid was used as electrolyte and titanium (Ti) metal mesh was anodised in an two stage anodic process. The innovated mesh electrode was examined using Raman spectroscopy to determine the formation of TiO₂ layer when different poten..

Selling 'brilliant solutions'

BASF's textile chemicals business, now separated from textile dyes, is concentrating on becoming even more specialist in its remaining chosen fields. These are sizes, pretreatment products, flourescent brightness, dyeing auxiliaries, textile printing and finishing and ink-jet inks. For the first time, sales in Asia in 2001 are expected to..

Remediation of dyes in textile effluent: A critical review on current treatment technologies with a proposed alternative

The control of water pollution has become of increasing importance in recent yarns. The release of dyes into the environment constitutes only a small proportion of water pollution, but dyes are visible in small quantities due to their brilliance. Tightening government legislation is forcing textile industries to treat their waste effluent..
