A method for inhibiting the spread of nosocomial infections in institutional health care settings comprises treating outer garments, worn indoors by employed staff of the institution, to impart antimicrobial properties to those garments by immersing the garments in a solution of glyxol, eugenol and water, squeezing the solution out of the garments, curing the wetted garments under heat, and drying the cured garments; and thereafter requiring employed staff to wear the treated garments while working at the institution; laundering the garments after being worn by the staff, for further wear by the staff, and requiring employed staff to wear the treated garments after the garments have been laundered for so long as the garments retain their antimicrobial properties.

Disclosed is a control method for synchronized fabric circulation in a conveyer drive fabric dyeing machine. During a dyeing process of fabric, the fabric is driven by a fabric guide to move in a circulating manner and the time period for a cycle of circulation is set in consistency with the time period that a conveyor moving from a rear end to a front end so as to achieve synchronization that makes the circulation smooth. The control method is performed with a computer or a PLC control unit that is supplied with fabric length data or fabric weight data and fabric unit weight data and, based on such data, performs an automatic operation of computation and supply of a signal to speed controllers of the fabric guide motor and the conveyor motor to set the speeds thereof at a predetermined ratio with respect to each other for synchronized operations.

The present invention relates to a composition for fiber adhesion, and more particularly, a composition for fiber adhesion including titanium dioxide, flame retardants, ultraviolet absorbers and heat stabilizers; and coated yarns, fabrics and articles comprising the composition.

The present invention can provide a fiber bonding composition with excellent heat shielding property, light shielding property, ultraviolet and infrared reflection characteristics, weather resistance, heat resistance, heat insulation, durability, etc.

In addition, the present invention can provide a coating yarn which can be widely used for blinds, shade film, interior materials, etc. because of excellent thermal shielding property, light shielding property, ultraviolet ray and infrared ray reflection property, weather resistance, heat resistance.

Furthermore, the present invention can provide a fabric for blind, sunscreen or interiors where it is possible to implement various colors because the fabric is a white color, and the energy can be dramatically reduced because the fabric lowers the indoor temperature and reduces the cooling.

A terry article includes a ground component including a plurality of ground warp yarns and a plurality of weft yarns, and a pile component disposed on at least one of a lower side and an upper side of the ground component. The pile component includes a first plurality of piles that extend away from the ground component along a vertical direction. The first plurality of piles are formed from a first set of pile yarns comprised of natural fibers and further define a first pile height. The pile component also includes a second plurality of piles that extend away from the ground component in the vertical direction. The second plurality of piles are formed from a set of continuous filament thermoplastic yarns and define a second pile height that is less than the first pile height.

Dyeing autoclave for dyeing textile materials, comprising a substantially cylindrical main body (1), in which a dyeing chamber (10) is formed, adapted for containing a dyeing bath and textile materials to be dyed. On the main body (1) a lid (2) is provided for opening/closing an upper access mouth (10M) of the dyeing chamber (10). The lid (2) is moved in the opening and closing positions of said mouth (10M) by means of an actuator (3) that controls the movement of the lid (2) along a direction (F) parallel to the access mouth (10M) between the open position and the closed position controlled by said actuator (3).
