The invention provides a disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing, which comprises, by weight, 10%-40% of disperse dye filter cakes, 2%-35% of a dispersant, 5%-20% of a dyeing auxiliary, 0.1-0.5% of a surfactant, and 20%-88% of a solvent. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention has a small particle size; and after waterless dyeing, a textile does not contain cleavable carcinogenic aromatic amine azo dyes, allergenic dyes, forbidden aromatic amine or bioactive substances. The disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing of the invention can be stably stored for 6-12 months which is beneficial to the transportation of dyes and the production management of dyeing factories. Moreover, a dyeing effect featuring a high fixation rate is realized after the disperse dye color paste for waterless dyeing is applied to textiles.

A transfer dyeing method, includes: 1) coating a pretreating liquid on a front side of a fabric by a first pretreating anilox roller; 2) printing a dyeing ink on a first ink transfer roller or ink transfer ribbon by a first full-master printing plate roller; 3) transferring the dyeing ink to the front of the fabric; 4) drying the fabric and then making a back side of the fabric face to a second pretreating anilox roller; 5) coating the pretreating liquid on the back side of the fabric; 6) printing a dyeing ink that is same as or different from the dyeing ink of step 2) on a second transfer-roller or ink transfer ribbon; 7) transferring the dyeing ink to the back side of the fabric; and 8) drying the fabric, followed by color fixing, water washing and shaping.

The present invention provides a process for the production of a fabric having a unique appearance and the fabric so obtained. Also provided is the clothing articles, i.e. garments, including the fabric. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing a woven fabric having a unique, e.g. used (i.e. worn-out) or multi-shaded appearance and the process includes a step of providing a woven fabric with a layer of bacterial biopolymer, dyeing at least part of the fabric together with the biopolymer layer, and then removing at least part of the bacterial biopolymer layer from the fabric.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a composite textile article which includes at least a biopolymer layer, comprising the following steps: providing at least one textile article, in particular selected from a fiber, a yarn, a fabric and a garment; providing at least part of said textile article with at least a biopolymer layer; providing at least part of said biopolymer layer with at least a textile softening agent, to provide a composite textile article; and to a composite textile article as obtainable therefrom.

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.

There is provided a treatment agent applicable to a recording surface of a recording medium which is recording paper or fabric. The treatment agent contains: a non-cationic sizing agent; and at least one cationic substance which is selected from the group consisting of: a cationic polymer capable of forming a flexible film in a case that the cationic polymer is dried, a cationic surfactant, a polyvalent metal salt and a polyvalent metal ion.

The present invention relates to a process wherein one or more dye precursors, e.g., indole, are provided to a textile and converted by one or more enzymes, e.g., an oxidizing enzyme, to provide the textile with a dye, e.g. indigo. At least the oxidizing enzyme is a hybrid enzyme including a binding domain that is suitable to bind the enzyme to the textile and/or increase the affinity of the enzyme for the textile, in particular, a cellulose binding domain (CBD).

The present invention generally relates to a method for changing the color of a textile material to obtain a vintage and/or worn appearance comprising the steps of contacting the fabric textile material with a nitrate salt, activating the nitrate salt by the addition of an acid catalyst until the desired color change is achieved.
