A filter for capturing dyestuff is provided. The filter includes a housing defining an inlet. The housing further includes an outlet spaced from the inlet. The housing further includes a cartridge in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is adapted to receive effluent including dyestuff and the outlet is adapted to release the effluent. The filter further includes a substrate disposed within the cartridge. The substrate includes an active material. The active material has an affinity for the dyestuff. The dyestuff is present in the effluent at the inlet in a first amount and not present in the effluent at the outlet or present in a second amount with the second amount less than the first amount. The filter is composed of a textile composition made fiber or fabric which can be recycled by mulching back into a dyed fiber upcycling the normally wasted dyestuff, to now be reused in an upcycled dyed textile production. The filter with its reusable cartridge, the substrate which bonds and upcycles waste dyestuff operates in a linear or preferable circular economy.

The invention relates to a medical treatment clothing used following surgical operation on domestic animals in case of injury, which prevents the animal from reaching the wound, and therefore enables the animal to return to its routine life in short time. The invention particularly relates to production of fabrics comprising Polyamide or Polyester yarns made of filament fibers and 2-50% polyurethane fibers known as Lycra for medical treatment clothing, and to the production method thereof.

Described herein are apparatuses and methods for dyeing garments. An exemplary apparatus comprises a dye injection system configured to dispense concentrated liquid dye; a dyeing machine comprising a dyeing chamber configured for dyeing at least one garment in a dyebath; and a controller in communication with the dye injection system and the dyeing machine, wherein the controller is configured: to receive at least one garment parameter corresponding to the at least one garment; based at least in part on the at least one received garment parameter, cause the dye injection system to dispense a volume of concentrated liquid dye containing an amount of dyestuff that can be substantially absorbed by the at least one garment; and cause the dyeing machine to execute a dye cycle such that substantially all of the dyestuff in the dispensed concentrated liquid dye is absorbed by the at least one garment within the dyeing chamber.

Methods for dyeing molded shoe components, such as molded foam shoe components, are disclosed. Some of the methods include an operation of providing a dyebath derived from a prior dyeing process, such as a textile dyeing process. Dyed molded shoe components and shoes including these shoe components are also disclosed.

A method to produce a dye, which is suited to be applied on fabrics, starts from textile waste material. The method includes an initial step, during which textile waste material is provided, which includes textile fibers, which were previously dyed. In a pulverization step, the textile fibers are pulverized to obtain the dye.

The invention provides a method for the application of a bleaching agent to a substrate, the method comprising the treatment of the substrate in an aqueous system comprising a liquid bleaching agent in a closed container, the treatment being carried out at a ratio of liquor to substrate which does not exceed 3:1. Typically, the method is applied to the bleaching of textile fibres and may optionally comprise a bleaching and scouring treatment. The invention also provides a method for the removal of surplus bleaching agents following the bleaching treatment, the method comprising not more than three aqueous wash-off treatments of the substrate. In addition to facilitating the use of much reduced liquor levels, the method also allows for significant reductions to be achieved in usage levels of bleaching agents, auxiliary agents and rinsing agents, thereby reducing generation of waste liquors requiring disposal. Furthermore, treatment temperatures are also significantly lower than for prior art methods, providing yet further benefits in environmental and cost terms.

A color control method for four-color field jet dyeing is provided. The method includes: obtaining fabric parameters of a fabric to be dyed; obtaining a fabric sample color; ascertaining whether predetermined pre-color-development color parameters corresponding to the fabric parameters and the fabric sample color exist in a field jet dyeing database; if not, generating temporary pre-color-development color parameters based on the fabric parameters and the fabric sample color, taking the temporary pre-color-development color parameters as contrast sample parameters, and generating field jet dyeing parameters according to the contrast sample parameters to dye the fabric; and if yes, taking the predetermined pre-color-development color parameters in the field jet dyeing database as contrast sample parameters, and generating field jet dyeing parameters according to the contrast sample parameters to dye the fabric. A color control device and a color control system are further provided.
