REDUCING PEELING OR LINT DURING COTTON DYEING PROCEDURES.

Processing of short staple cotton has been challenging in the are of peeling or lint buildup created by frictional agitation as well as low liquor ratio and excessive cylinder speeds. Diligent efforts and machinery design changes have greatly improved the procedural and technical aspects of garment dyeing. Items for review are presented f..

DYEING AND FINISHING TASK FORCE. 1989 PROCEEDINGS.

Conference papers presented at the SRRC conference on dyeing and finishing address the pore structure of fabrics crosslinked with formaldehyde-free reagents and the post-dyeing of such fabrics, catalysts for cellulose, dyeing treated cotton fabrics, the use of amine additives to improve dyeability, and cationic finishes for garment dyeing

MONSTER CARPET JET.

Gaston County Dyeing Machine's Futura 3000 jet dyeing machine can process carpet in rope form while providing shade uniformity, additional bulk, lower costs, and computer compatibility with the Micro Mite semi-automatic processor and the computer supervised Micro Monitor system.

DUNDEE BITES BULLET -- COLORATION COMES FIRST.

Dundee Mills chose to install the MOD 300 computer-driven process control system to its dye lines. The company is now planning to adapt its three preparation lines and is actively investigating a pilot unit for PVA size recovery.

COLOR STREAKING IN FABRIC

Color Streaking in fabrics can be minimized by implementing certain precautionary measures. 8 refs.

RESIDUAL LIQUOR RECYCLING

A number of operating conditions are required before recycling residual dyes and chemicals becomes a cost effective process. For example, recycling is often performed on highly concentrated dyes and chemicals. Optimally, residual dyes must be divided into three mixed color ranges(red, yellow, and blue) and stored in separate recycling tan..

ENTRY LEVEL COLOR CONTROL

ICS-Texicon's Total Colour Management System(TCM-4) offers sophisticated technology at an affordable price. The system includes the Super Match 6, an entry-level, PC-based, single-user, color, match prediction system; the spectraflash spectrophotometer; the Formula One direct-feeding, modular dispensing system; and new intermediate contro..

DEFINED STARTING CONDITIONS FOR REPRODUCIBLE REACTIVE DYEINGS

Optimal process conditions during bleaching are critical to the reproducibility of reactive dyes on cotton. The effects of such factors as the use of stabilizers, the concentration and distribution of hydrogen peroxide, the presence of impurities, and pH are discussed. A new chemical aid, tradenamed Bayreduct PRN, has been developed to de..

IMPROVING REPRODUCIBILITY IN REACTIVE DYEING--100 PERCENT COTTON

An analysis of dyeing faults in 100 percent cotton fabrics revealed that a considerable number of the faults occur during pretreatment, especially in connection with high concentrations of unevenly distributed alkali and residual hydrogen peroxide from pre-bleach. The application of the chemical fuse Bayreduct after bleaching has proved e..

QUALITY IN PIECE-DYEING

Demand for the rapid production of apparel has popularized piece-dyeing. The following considerations in piece-dyeing are discussed: careful determination of dye and fabric weights and other measurements, preparation of fabric to accept dye, effects of pH, fabric composition, color effects, wash effects, and laundering performance of dyed..
