Abstract:The problem of 'weathering' faults in the dyeing of wool fabric has been studied. It was possible to reproduce these faults under laboratory conditions, and attempts were made to determine their nature and to devise correction or prevention techniques. Hydrolysis of the wool fibre is probably less important in the formation of 'weathering' faults than oxidation effects. With equalising acid dyes, re-treatment of the faulty dyeing in a boiling dyebath corrects the fault. However, with dyes of poor migration pro… Show more
Practical work is described which shows that low rates of rejection can be achieved in the dyeing of woollen fabrics by attention to factors such as fabric preparation, dye selection, dyeing method, machinery and supervision.
