Novel inkjet ink compositions for forming an image in a form of an elastic film attached to a surface of a stretchable and/or flexible substrate and processes utilizing same for inkjet printing color images on various substrates such as colored and absorptive or impregnable stretchable materials, which are characterized by heightened efficiency in process time, ink and energy consumption, as well as products having durable, wash-fast and abrasion-fast images printed thereon by the process, are disclosed. The novel ink compositions comprise a first part, which contains a property-adjusting agent and a carrier, and a second part which contains an emulsified property-sensitive proto-elastomeric film-forming agent, a colorant and a carrier, such that the second part congeals upon contact with the property-adjusting agent. The second part is digitally applied to the substrate less than 1 second following the application of the first part to the substrate.

The present invention relates to an applicator apparatus for dyeing and finishing in which diagonal application grooves are formed in a longitudinal direction in an outer circumferential surface of a roller used to apply a chemical and reverse diagonal application grooves are formed to intersect the formed diagonal application grooves to allow the chemical to be evenly discharged to an outer circumferential surface of a pickup roller so that fabric dyeing efficiency is increased. The applicator apparatus for dyeing and finishing includes a storage tank (100) in which a chemical is accommodated, a guide roller (200) configured to guide a fabric (f) to be conveyed, a first pickup roller (300) which is installed at an upper portion of one side of the storage tank (100) and has an outer circumferential surface coming in contact with a surface of the fabric (f) being conveyed along the guide roller (200) and a lower portion dipped in the chemical accommodated in the storage tank (100) so that the chemical is attached to the outer circumferential surface and conveyed due to forward rotation of the first pickup roller (300), and an application roller (400) which is installed at an upper side of the first pickup roller (300), rotates in a reverse direction, and has diagonal application grooves (410) formed along an outer circumferential surface and reverse diagonal application grooves (420) formed to intersect the formed diagonal application grooves (410) so that the chemical conveyed along the first pickup roller (300) enters and passes through the formed diagonal application grooves (410) and reverse diagonal application grooves (420) and is guided to be evenly discharged to the outer circumferential surface of the first pickup roller (300) and applied to the fabric (f).

An embodiment herein provides a process for dyeing of textile materials 108 with supercritical fluid. One or more dye materials 102 along with additives (if required) are mixed with at least one suitable solvent 104 to obtain one or more dye solutions 106. A textile material 108 is pre-treated with the one or more dye solutions 106 to obtain a dye coated textile material 110. The dye-coated textile material 110 is exposed to the supercritical fluid 112 in a supercritical fluid dyeing vessel at controlled pressure and temperature. The supercritical fluid 112 solubilizes and diffuses the one or more dye materials 102 inside the surface, pores and capillaries of the textile material 108. The supercritical fluid vessel is then depressurized below supercritical condition to entrap the one or more dye materials 102 in the textile material 108 to obtain a supercritical fluid dyed textile material 114.

An ink film construction comprising: (a) a printing substrate; and (b) at least one ink film, fixedly adhered to a top surface of the printing substrate, the ink film having an upper film surface distal to the top surface of the substrate, wherein a surface concentration of nitrogen at the upper film surface exceeds a bulk concentration of nitrogen within the film, the bulk concentration measured at a depth of at least 30 nanometers below the upper film surface, and wherein a ratio of the surface concentration to the bulk concentration is at least 1.1 to 1.

A system, a method and a machine for treating threads or parts thereof, the machine having one or more cartridges each configured for containing thread treatment-material therein; one or more injectors, each injector being configured for applying treatment-material from its respective cartridge over a passing portion of the thread; drive means for operating the one or more injectors; and a communication and control unit for receiving treatment plan data indicative of at least one machine readable treatment related parameter associated with at least one treatment effect for each thread portion to be treated for controlling the treatment effect of each passing thread portion, according to the received treatment plan data. A designated application of the system may be used having a unique user interface allowing creating treatment plans.

A whitening composition for fabric, in particular, unbleached cellulosic fiber-containing fabric. The composition includes a blue dye, a violet dye; and, optionally, a thickening agent; wherein the composition is free of bleaching agents and optical brighteners. A method of whitening a fabric using whitening compositions is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a camouflage garment and camouflage equipment carrying a thermochromic ink composition having a first colour stale and a second colour state, wherein the first colour state switches to the second colour state at a first set temperature and the second colour state switches to the first colour state at a second set temperature. Each of the first colour state and second colour state are stable between the first set temperature and second set temperature. Also disclosed is a method for producing the camouflage garment and camouflage equipment.

A leuco polymer comprising a polymeric carbohydrate and a leuco moiety. The polymeric carbohydrate and the leuco moiety are covalently bound. Methods of making the leuco polymer, laundry care compositions comprising the leuco polymer and methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

An adhesive layer carrying a uniform color or a color-scheme is placed within or under a colored or color-printed conformable fabric that is simultaneously or subsequently molded into a three-dimensional shape or embossed with a three-dimensional pattern. The thermoplastic adhesive layer proceeds towards the fabric surface and matches or masks the color gaps opened on the surface by molding or embossing. The fabric can also be laminated to a backing during the molding or embossing process.
