Abstract
A process of producing a dyed cleaned material comprising first applying to virgin material a dyeing medium, next drying the material and then treating the material with a cleaning substance containing acetone. The acetone may be diluted with water in a proportion up to 50% water. The dyeing medium may be a non-aqueous solvent dyeing medium. The non-aqueous dyeing medium may be combined with a material for which the solvent has an affinity higher than it has for the dye.
Claims3
A process of dyeing comprising applying to material to be dyed a solvent dyeing medium comprising a dye, a solvent of the dye selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic alcohols, halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic aldehydes, aliphatic ketones, aliphatic esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, aryl halides, aromatic aldehydes, aromatic ketones, and aromatic esters and a dimethyl-polysiloxane for which the solvent has a higher affinity than it has for the dye, the ratio of the dye in its solvent to the complete dyeing medium being in the range of 90 to 5% and the ratio of the material for which the solvent has a higher affinity that it has for the dye to the complete dyeing medium being in the range of 10 to 95%.
