The invention generally relates to fabric dyeing, such as fabric dyeing using indigo or sulphur dyes. A process is provided which provides a dyed yarn having reduced dye penetration and a white core. The process involves modification of existing sulfur dye ranges to more efficiently and in an environmentally improved method produce dyed fabrics. The modification involves one or more of i) using of a barrier compound to subsequent dye applications; ii) performing a scouring stage without a caustic agent; iii) bypassing scouring and/or scour rising; iv) using sodium bicarbonate to control the pH of dye tanks; v) reducing the dye concentration and increasing the number of dye vats; and vi) adding a sizing stage to the dye range. The invention also is directed to yarns dyed on dye ranges through use of the process, and fabrics formed from the dyed yarns.

The present invention is directed to a nanoporous cerium oxide nanoparticle (NCeONP) macro-structure containing a plurality of the cerium oxide nanoparticles which define a plurality of macro-structure pores. The NCeONP macro structure may be used to improve pigment and/or dye performance.

An ink jet composition according to the present disclosure contains a flameproofing agent and resin particles. The resin particles are preferably urethanic resin particles. It is preferable that a urethanic resin making up the urethanic resin particles is a urethanic resin containing a crosslinking group and the crosslinking group is one or more selected from the group consisting of a blocked isocyanate group and a silanol group. The urethanic resin making up the urethanic resin particles preferably has a polycarbonate skeleton.

Hunter's repellent wipes have camouflage properties to differentiate the hunter or people from the animals. Further, the hunter's repellent wipes have insect repellent properties to keep away all types of insects from the hunter.

A process and composition is provided for preparing substrates with both visual and thermal camouflage. The substrate is metallized through a deposition process and polished or calendered to smooth the metal layer and lower the infrared emissivity of the layer deposited onto the substrate. The metallized substrate is then visually decorated by a tarnish and/or dying process that minimally impacts the infrared emissivity of the metallized substrate.

The present invention provides a herbal composition for treating a fabric to make the fabric insect repellent. The present invention further provides a composition for treating a fabric and a method of treating the fabric to make the fabric insect repellent. The invention also provides the various methods of treating different kinds of fabrics along with their dyeing and finishing processes to render the fabric insect repellant. The fabric becomes insect repellant up to 40 washes. The fabric becomes repellent against bed bugs of Cimex species, house dust mites of Dermatophagoides species, ticks of Ixodes species, houseflies or Musca Domestica, mosquitoes or Aedes Aegypti and harvest bugs of Trombidium species. The fabric is selected from the group consisting of a cotton fabric, a regenerated viscose cellulose fabric, a wool fabric, a silk fabric, a polyester fabric and blends thereof.

This invention relates to a functional textile manufacturing system. This system uses weaving equipment, dyeing and finishing equipment, shaping equipment, evaporation equipment, lamination equipment, roll adhesion equipment and printing equipment for production. Weaving equipment, dyeing and finishing equipment and shaping equipment are used for weaving, dyeing, washing and shaping to process low-cost polyester fibers into shaped fabric. Then, the evaporation equipment is used to evaporate a metal onto a plane release film to form a metal evaporation release film, and the lamination equipment, roll adhesion equipment and printing equipment are used to laminate the shaped fabric and the metal evaporation release film and to adhere a printed layer on the functional thin film. Such a manufacturing system can produce laundry resistant unconventional material antimicrobial protective fabric that features special temperature control, antimicrobial, waterproof, breathable, scratch resistant properties, as well as comfortable feeling.

The present disclosure relates to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, and more particularly to a natural dyeing method using fermented persimmon juice, which prevents the discoloration of a naturally dyed fabric, is harmless to the human body, and exhibits excellent color development, excellent antibacterial activity, excellent deodorization, and excellent dyeing fastness such as friction fastness and light fastness.
