Abstract
A met6hod for impregnating porous abrasive media with a reactive solution for use in distressing fabric and the product produced thereby. The method includes the steps of placing the porous abrasive media and the reactive solution in a chamber; evacuating teh pressure in said chamber to obtain a pre-selected pressure level; restoring the pressure in said chamber; and repeating the steps of evacuating and restoring the pressure a sufficient number of times to impregnate the porous abrasive media with the reactive solution. The impregnate media is then removed from the chamber.
Claims15
A method for impregnating porous abrasive media with a reactive solution for use in distressing fabric, said method comprising:
- (a) placing the porous abrasive media and the reactive solution in a chamber;
- (b) evacuating the pressure in said chamber to obtain a first vacuum level;
- (c) restoring the pressure in said chamber to ambient by introducing air into said chamber;
- and
- (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) a sufficient number of times to impregnate the porous abrasive media with the reactive solution.
A method for impregnating porous abrasive media with a reactive solution for use in distressing fabric, said method comprising:
- (a) placing the porous abrasive media in a chamber;
- (b) introducing the reactive solution into said chamber;
- (c) evacuating the pressure in said chamber to obtain a first vacuum level;
- (d) restoring the pressure in said chamber to approximately ambient by introducing air into said chamber;
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) a sufficient number of times to impregnate the porous abrasive media with the reactive solution;
- and
- (f) removing the impregnated porous abrasive media from said chamber.
A method for impregnating porous abrasive media with a reactive solution for use in distressing fabric, said method comprising:
- (a) placing the porous abrasive media in a chamber;
- (b) reducing the pressure in said chamber to a reduced pressure which is less than ambient pressure;
- (c) introducing the reactive solution into said chamber;
- (d) evacuating the pressure in said chamber to obtain a first vacuum level;
- (e) restoring the pressure in said chamber to approximately ambient by introducing air into said chamber;
- (f) repeating steps (d) and (e) a sufficient number of times to impregnate the porous abrasive media with the reactive solution;
- and
- (g) removing the impregnated porous abrasive media from said chamber.
