This invention relates to an elastic functional textile fabric and dyeing and finishing method thereof. The fabric provided mainly comprises at least one elastic yarn. An ironing machine is used to process the fabric to maintain warp-wise smoothness and flatness. After ironing, a sanforizing machine is used to sanforize the fabric, and then the fabric undergoes a scutching procedure. Then, a setting machine is used to preset the scutched fabric, the fabric undergoes a dyeing procedure to form an elastic fabric. Then, the elastic fabric undergoes a second scutching procedure and a second setting procedure to form the finished product as the elastic functional textile fabric according to this invention. Through the production method disclosed above, problematic situations like insufficient weft weight, unsmooth fabric surface, pitting surface, uneven dyeing, side shading, poor fastness, chromatic aberration, dyelot chromatism, insufficient elasticity, as well as spray burns, etc can be dramatically reduced.

The present invention generally relates to sulfur dyeing of fabrics. In particular, a process is provided which provides a sulfur dyed yarn having reduced dye penetration and a white core. The process involves modification of existing sulfur dye ranges in order to more efficiently and in an environmentally improved method produce dyed fabrics. The process involves modifying the immersion time, temperature, pH, and/or dye oxidation of existing sulfur dye ranges. The resulting yarns may then be woven into fabrics used to produce garments.

The present disclosure relates to fibrous structures including active agents and having a graphic printed thereon. In some embodiments, a nonwoven web may include a fibrous structure comprising filaments. In turn, the filaments may include filament forming material, and an active agent releasable from the filaments when exposed to conditions of intended use. In addition, a graphic may be printed directly onto the fibrous structure.

A dyeing apparatus is configured to be connected to an embroidery apparatus. The dyeing apparatus includes a dyer configured to dye a thread; a conveying path in which a path length of the thread from the dyer to the embroidery apparatus is changed according to an operation of the embroidery apparatus; and a conveyance control unit configured to adjust a conveyance speed of the thread in the conveying path, according to a change in the path length. The dyer dyes the thread at a dyeing speed that matches the adjusted conveyance speed.

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.

Disclosed herein is a method for dyeing and removing colored impurities, which includes providing a polyester fabric and an adsorption material, spraying a coloring material onto a surface of the polyester fabric to form a colored layer, subjecting the polyester fabric thus dyed to a heating treatment for the colored layer to adhere to the surface of the polyester fabric, attaching or applying the adsorption material onto the colored layer and subsequently heating and/or applying a pressure to the adsorption material so that the adsorption material is coated on the colored layer to adsorb colored impurities therefrom, and removing the adsorption material.

The invention relates to an environment-friendly soaping agent for dyeing cotton fabrics with reactive dyes and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of textiles. The invention provides a soaping agent which comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 1-9 parts of sophorolipid, 1-9 parts of anionic surfactant and 1-9 parts of soaping auxiliary, wherein the anionic surfactant is either sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate or rhamnolipid. According to the invention, the combination of sophorolipid, anionic surfactant and soaping auxiliary can effectively improve the fastness to soaping and fastness to rubbing of fabrics; and meanwhile, the soaping agent is environment-friendly and biodegradable, and has a wide application prospect.
