DISPERSE DYEING OF TEXTILE FIBERS

摘要

In a process for dyeing textile fibers, a plurality of textile fibers are contacted with a polymer dispersed in a non-aqueous carrier liquid so as to deposit the polymer and the carrier on the fibers. The carrier liquid is then removed from the fibers to leave a coating of the polymer on the fibers and thereby form polymer-treated fibers. The polymer-treated fibers are then contacted with a disperse dye material under conditions effective to bond the disperse dye material to the polymer coating, whereby the polymer coating serves to affix the disperse dye material to the textile fibers.
