A textile material comprises a plurality of yarns, the yarns containing an intimate blend of dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers. The dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprising a disperse dye that is distributed substantially evenly across the cross-sectional area of the fibers. A method for dyeing textile materials containing polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprises the steps of (a) providing a textile material comprising yarns which contain an intimate blend of polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers, (b) providing a dye liquor comprising a liquid medium and a disperse dye, (c) applying the dye liquor to the textile material, (d) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature sufficient to evaporate substantially all of the liquid medium from the textile material, and (e) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature of about 180° C. or more to fix the disperse dye to the polyphenylene sulfide fibers.

The present disclosure pertains to an aqueous inkjet ink containing a pigment as colorant, a polymeric dispersant, a polymeric binder, and a water-insoluble additive. The inks show improved properties for printing on paper and textile.

A textile dyeing process is described for dyeing a textile material, product or article consisting of animal fibers, comprising the steps of dipping said textile material, product or article into a dyeing bath comprising at least one detergent substance, a wetting substance, a leveling substance and an acidity regulator; adding to the dyeing bath a coloring substance approved for food use; subjecting the dyed textile material, product or article to washes; and finally subjecting the dyed textile material, product or article to a color fixing treatment.

A method for decolorizing a polyester fabric is provided, which includes: providing a dyed polyester fabric, in which a material of the dyed polyester fabric contains a dye and a water repellent; providing a composite solvent, in which the composite solvent includes propylene glycol methyl ether (PM) and acetic acid that are mixed together; and performing an extraction process, which includes using the composite solvent to wet the dyed polyester fabric and remove the dye and the water repellent from the material of the polyester fabric by extraction, so as to obtain a reduced polyester fabric.

The present disclosure provides an ink fluid set containing an aqueous pre-treatment composition, a clear ink, and colored aqueous inkjet inks. This ink fluid set is particularly suitable for printing on polyester, cotton, and blends of cotton and synthetic textiles.

A method for: (1) The application of solvent-based resin formulations to various forms and classes of textile fibers, fabrics, and finished goods which, when dyes or pigments are included, will impart color to textile materials; (2) The application of the formulations to various forms of rubbers, natural and synthetic, in the pre-formed state or subsequent to forming a finished product which will impart color and fortification; (3) The application of the same group of formulations to revitalize plastic surfaces and impart color to plastics prior to and subsequent to forming finished products; (4) The application of the same formulations to polymers for the purpose of carrying additives for purposes such as, but not limited to, sizing, mildew resistance, UV protection, glazing, creation of printable or paintable surfaces, artistic coloring effects, abrasion resistance, stain resistance, mercerizing, and many more, with or without dyes or pigments included.

A printable fabric medium can include a fabric substrate and a polymeric particle blend including polysiloxane particles and polyolefin release particles pre-treated on the fabric substrate. A weight ratio of the polysiloxane particles to polyolefin release particles can be from 1:5 to 4:1, for example.

A non-aqueous fabric dyeing method using a non-aqueous dyeing composition is described. The dyeing composition is a fluid at room temperature; contains no more than 5% water, no more than 5% VOCs and no more than 2.5% by weight vinyl monomers. The dye composition includes an organic dye that is solid at temperatures up to 130° C. and which sublimes or boils at 130 to 220° C., and further includes a carrier that is a liquid in the temperature range of 130 to 220° C.
