Abstract
Stain-resistant nylon, especially cationic-dyeable carpet nylon, is prepared by dyeing cationic-dyeable nylon fibers with acid or premetallized dye. Lightfastness and depth of shade of an apparent value equal to acid dyeable nylons is obtained with superior stain resistance equal to commercially available solution dyed nylon carpeting.
