Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for dyeing cellulose fiber-containing materials. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing printing or continuous dyeing of cellulose fiber containing materials with reactive dyes in such a way that neither dye bleeding nor uneven dyeing will occur while achieving a high color yield.
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for dyeing cellulose, fiber-containing materials without using urea or liquid alkali water glass as a fixing agent.
- the method commonly practiced to perform printing or continuous dyeing of cellulose fibers or the like with reactive dyes comprises printing the cellulose fibers or the like with a printing paste that contains the reactive dyes or padding the same fibers with a dye solution containing the reactive dyes, drying the fibers and subjecting the dried fibers to either a steaming or baking treatment.
- urea is preliminarily added to the printing paste or dye solution so that it will help the dye be fixed efficiently in the fiber to develop a desired color in the subsequent steaming or baking step.
- the urea containing nitrogen atoms is difficult to eliminate from the waste water and if it enters rivers and other water bodies, eutrophication can occur. Under the circumstances, there is a growing social pressure to limit the use of urea for the purpose of preventing harm to the environment.
- the fiber material (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "substrate") is printed or impregnated with a printing paste or dye solution that does not contain a dye fixing chemical (which is hereinafter referred to simply as a "fixing agent”) and, after drying, the substrate is impregnated with a solution containing fixing agents (hereinafter referred to simply as a "fixing solution”) and then steamed.
- a printing paste or dye solution that does not contain a dye fixing chemical (which is hereinafter referred to simply as a "fixing agent”) and, after drying, the substrate is impregnated with a solution containing fixing agents (hereinafter referred to simply as a "fixing solution”) and then steamed.
- the rate of moisture content of the substrate [(weight of water absorbed/weight of dry substrate) x 100] will increase in the steaming treatment conducted after the fixing solution is imparted to the substrate.
- the substrate is a cotton satin fabric; if the rate of moisture content of the satin fabric exceeds 60%, the dye may bleed out or the percent fixation of the dye may decrease during the steaming treatment.
- the water in the steam may be deposited on the surface of the substrate and this also contributes to a higher water content of the substrate. Under the circumstances, it is desired to reduce the rate of moisture content of the yet to be steamed substrate to the lowest possible level that is not deleterious to the purpose of fixing the dye.
- a prior art method of depositing the fixing solution by means of a padder such as the one illustrated in Fig. 6(a) is performed in such a way that a substrate 70 after being immersed within a fixing solution 71 is squeezed between mangles 72a and 72b; with this method, the fixing solution is imparted to the substrate in an amount of 70 to 130%.
- the substrate 70 is not immersed directly in the fixing solution 71 and, instead, mangle 72b is submerged in the fixing solution 71 so that the latter is deposited on the surface of the mangle 72b, which is then brought into contact with the substrate.
- liquid alkali water glass is used either alone or in admixture with sodium hydroxide to formulate the fixing solution 71, and this is well known in the art as a practice that takes advantage of the following two facts: the bound water contained in the liquid alkali water glass not only participates in the development of colors but also exhibits good buffering action on the nature of the water glass as an electrolyte and on its alkalinity.
- the liquid alkali water glass causes problems in the treatment of waste water by preventing the residual dye in the waste water from being agglomerated or by forming deposits within discharge pipes to clog them.
- the present invention has been accomplished under these circumstances and has as an object providing a method for performing printing or continuous dyeing of cellulose, fiber-containing materials with reactive dyes without using urea as a dyeing auxiliary which can be a problem to environmental preservation, the method being capable of preventing the bleeding of dyes and retaining a high color yield during the steaming treatment by means of controlling the amount in which the fixing solution is imparted to the cellulose, fiber-containing material.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for implementing this method.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for dyeing cellulose fiber-containing materials using reactive dyes, that can produce dyed materials of satisfactory quality without causing the bleeding of dyes or any unevenness in colors of dyed patterns even if liquid alkali water glass, which can cause problems in the treatment of waste water by preventing the residual dye in the waste water from being agglomerated or by forming deposits within discharge pipes to clog them, is not used as a fixing agent.
- the above-stated objects of the present invention can be attained by a method of dyeing a cellulose fiber-containing material which comprises printing or impregnating the cellulose, fiber-containing material with a printing paste or dye solution that comprises a reactive dye which is free of a dye fixing agent, drying the material, then imparting a dye fixing agent containing solution to the material, and subjecting the material to a steaming treatment.
- the method further comprises bringing an accompanying strip, which is impregnated with the dye fixing agent containing solution in such a way that the solution is imparted in an appropriate amount in accordance with the nature of the cellulose fiber-containing material, into contact with the cellulose fiber-containing material while, at the same time, pressing together the fibrous material and the strip so that the dye fixing agent containing solution is imparted to the fibrous material.
- an apparatus for dyeing a cellulose fiber-containing material, which comprises, as arranged in order, a unit with which the cellulose fiber-containing material is continuously transported after printed or impregnated with a printing paste or dye solution that comprises a reactive dye which is free of a dye fixing agent and thereafter dried, a fixing solution imparting unit with which a dye fixing agent containing solution is imparted to the dried cellulose fiber-containing material, and a steaming unit for steaming the cellulose fiber-containing material to which the fixing solution has been imparted.
- the fixing solution imparting unit comprises an endless accompanying strip in the form of a running belt that is transported in the same direction as the transport of the cellulose fiber-containing material, a fixing solution impregnating means for impregnating the endless accompanying strip with the fixing solution, a press means for controlling the amount in which the endless accompanying strip is impregnated with the fixing solution, and a fixing solution contact means by which the endless accompanying strip impregnated with the fixing solution is brought under pressure into contact with the dried cellulose fiber-containing material as the latter is being transported.
- the cellulose fiber-containing material (hereinafter referred to simply as the "fibrous material") to be used in the present invention may be exemplified by natural and regenerated cellulose fibers such as cotton, bast fibers, rayon, viscose rayon and cumrammonium rayon, as well as blends or unions of these cellulose fibers with polyester or polyamide fibers, etc.
- printing paste free from fixing agent is first printed on the fibrous material or the material is padded with a dye solution free from a fixing agent; then, the fibrous material is dried and impregnated with a fixing solution, followed by steaming the fibrous material to have the dye fixed in the fiber.
- Examples of the fixing agent that may be used in the present invention include neutral electrolytes, such as sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, and alkaline electrolytes except liquid alkali water glass, as exemplified by sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
- the fixing solution to be used in the case of printing contains 10 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 15 to 35 parts by weight, of sodium sulfate, 10 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 15 to 35 parts by weight, of sodium carbonate, 0 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 35 parts by weight, of potassium carbonate, and 1 to 30 parts by volume, preferably 3 to 18 parts by volume, of sodium hydroxide (38°Bé) in 1000 parts by volume of the fixing solution, with the electrolytes being contained in a total amount of 30 to 100 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 80 parts by weight.
- the fixing solution to be used in the case of continuous dyeing contains 30 to 90 parts by weight, preferably 45 to 75 parts by weight, of sodium sulfate, 10 to 60 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 50 parts by weight, of sodium carbonate, and 5 to 30 parts by volume, preferably 8 to 15 parts by volume, of sodium hydroxide (38° Bé) in 1000 parts by volume of the fixing solution, with the electrolytes being contained in a total amount of 30 to 140 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 120 parts by weight.
- the fixing solution it is also preferred for the fixing solution to have a specific gravity of 1.1 to 1.3 and a pH of 10 to 13.
- the heretofore used fixing solutions have contained fixing agents in a total amount of 200 to 300 parts by weight in 1000 parts by volume of the fixing solution; in contrast, the present invention permits the use of fixing solutions having much lower concentrations and, hence, is advantageous from an economic viewpoint.
- the fixing solution described above is impregnated in the accompanying strip which may be formed of any materials that are capable of sufficient water retention to permit impregnation with the fixing solution but which are not dyeable.
- useful materials are knitted or woven fine denier fabrics of natural, synthetic or metal fibers or those polyester based materials which are generally referred to as "Shin-gosen” and which are impregnable with the fixing solution, such as a raised tricot jersey fabric or tricot satin fabric that are produced by knitting front and back yarns, the front yarns being formed of split composite fibers made from nylon 6 and polyethylene terephthalate and the back yarns being formed of polyethylene terephthalate fibers.
- the latter is immersed in a bath containing the fixing solution and, thereafter, the strip is recovered from the bath and pressed by a pressure applying means such as pressure rollers so as to adjust the amount in which the fixing solution is to be impregnated in the strip.
- the fixing solution is impregnated in the accompanying strip and, with the pressure rollers being set to apply a pressure of 0.5 to 3.5 kg/cm2, the accompanying strip is pressed in such a way that it is impregnated with the fixing solution in an amount ranging from 80 to 120 wt% of the weight of the dried strip made of natural or synthetic fibers and in an amount ranging from 20 to 50 wt% of the weight of the dried strip made of metal fiber.
- the accompanying strip thus impregnated with the fixing solution is brought into contact with the fibrous material while, at the same time, the two members are pressed together so that the fixing solution is imparted to the fibrous material.
- the amount in which the fixing solution is imparted to the fibrous material is adjusted by controlling the amount of the fixing solution to be impregnated in the accompanying strip.
- the amount of the fixing solution which is to be imparted to the fibrous material can be controlled by adjusting that the pressure for pressing the accompanying strip after it has been impregnated with the fixing solution is adjusted to lie within the range of 0.5 to 3.5 kg/cm2 as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
- the amount of the fixing solution to be imparted to the fibrous material is generally in the range from 15 to 60 wt%, preferably from 20 to 50 wt%, more preferably from 30 to 45 wt%, of the dried fibrous material in the case of printing; in the case of continuous dyeing, the amount in question is generally in the range from 30 to 60 wt%, preferably from 35 to 50 wt%. If the amount of the fixing solution to be imparted to the fibrous material is less than 15 wt%, the dye may be fixed insufficiently to prevent uneven dyeing. If the amount of interest exceeds 60 wt%, the dye will bleed out or the color yield will decrease.
- Table 1 shows the relationship between the pick up (percent impregnation) of the fixing solution in the accompanying strip (raised fabric obtained by knitting fine denier split composite fibers made from nylon 6 and polyethylene terephthalete as front years and fine denier fibers made of polyethylene terephthalate as back yarns) and the percent efficiency of imparting the fixing solution to the various fibrous materials at a pressure of 3.0 kg/cm2 at which both fibrous material and accompanying strip were pressed, while varying values of the pressure at which the fixing solution was impregnated in the accompanying strip.
- the pressure at which the fibrous material and the accompanying strip impregnated with the fixing solution are pressed together is usually selected from the range 2.0 to 4.0 kg/cm2.
- the fibrous material After imparting the fixing solution, the fibrous material is steamed for 15 to 90 sec., preferably 30 to 60 sec., thereby fixing the dye in the fibrous material. If the steaming time is shorter than 15 sec., the dye will be fixed insufficiently. Even if the steaming time is longer than 90 sec., the rate of dye exhaustion will not be improved significantly but, on the contrary, it may sometimes drop. The steaming time longer than 90 sec. is also uneconomical from the viewpoint of thermal energy.
- a printing paste or dye solution that comprises a reactive dye free from fixing agents, is printed or padded in a fibrous material and, after drying the fibrous material, a fixing solution is imparted to the material in such a way that the volume of the fixing solution to be impregnated in the accompanying strip is adjusted at a desired level while, at the same time, the accompanying strip is transported in the same direction as the transport of the dried fibrous material, whereby the accompanying strip is brought into contact with the dried fibrous material as the two members are pressed together so that the fixing solution will be imparted to the fibrous material in an optimal amount depending upon the species of the fibrous material.
- the dyeing apparatus according to the first and second embodiments is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively; the fixing solution imparting unit is generally indicated by 1 and an enlarged schematic view of the unit 1 according to the first embodiment is shown in Fig. 3, whereas the steamer is generally indicated by 2 and an enlarged schematic view of a steamer for use in either the first or second embodiment is shown in Fig. 4.
- Zone 3 comprises a fixing solution contact means 13 by which a fibrous material 6 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "substrate") that has been dried after printing or continuous dyeing is brought into contact with the accompanying strip 7 impregnated with a fixing solution.
- Zone 5 is an accompanying strip transport zone and comprises respective means for impregnating the fixing solution in the accompanying strip 7, cleaning the strip 7 from which the fixing solution has been imparted to the substrate 6, and dehydrating the strip.
- the accompanying strip transport zone 5 comprises, as arranged in the following order, a plurality of rolls 9 for transporting the accompanying strip 7 in the form of an endless belt, the associated drive mechanism (not shown), a fixing solution impregnator 10 for immersing the strip 7 in the fixing solution so that it is impregnated in the strip 7, a press 11 that applies pressure to control the amount of the fixing solution that is impregnated in the strip 7, a washer 14 for the strip 7 from which the fixing solution has been imparted to the dry substrate 6, and a dehydrator 15 of the cleaned strip 7.
- the strip 7, in the form of an endless belt is transported into the above means for circulation therethrough.
- the fixing solution impregnator 10 has a tank 12 for containing the fixing solution, which, as described below, has been adjusted in type and concentration in accordance with the material, yarn count, fiber structure and other characteristics of the specific substrate to be dyed.
- a transport roll 12a for the strip 7 is provided near the bottom of the tank 12 so that the strip 7 is fully immersed in the fixing solution as it is transported via the roll 12a.
- the strip 7 After impregnation with the fixing solution, the strip 7 is passed between a pair of pressure rolls 17a and 17b in the press 11 and the pressure applied between these rolls is so adjusted that the fixing solution can be impregnated in the strip 7 in an amount suitable for the substrate 6. In a typical case, the strip 7 is pressed until it is impregnated with the fixing solution in an amount of about 80 to 120 wt% of the strip.
- one of the two rolls for example, roll 17a
- a lever 17c is secured to the rotating shaft of the other roll 17b
- the lever 17c is connected to a diaphragm rubber cylinder 17d which causes the lever 17c to be actuated on its fulcrum (not shown) at the center.
- the fixing solution contact means 13 is also composed of a pair of pressure rolls 18.
- the dried substrate 6 and the accompanying strip 7 are transported in the same direction and passed between the two rolls 18 in such a way that they contact each other.
- the force of pressure acting between the pair of rolls 18 causes the impregnated fixing solution to be imparted from the strip 7 to the substrate 6.
- the pressure between the rolls 18 is preset at a given value and the amount of the fixing solution to be imparted to the substrate 6 can be controlled by adjusting the amount in which it is impregnated in the strip 7 pressed by the press 11.
- An important feature of the present embodiment is in the press 11 and the fixing solution contact means 13, the combination of which enables the fixing solution to be imparted to the substrate 6 in an amount of 15 to 60 wt%. Transferring the fixing solution onto the substrate 6 via the accompanying strip 7 in the manner described above offers the advantage in that the fixing solution can be imparted to the substrate 6 in an optimal quantity that matches the material, yarn count, fiber structure and other characteristics of the substrate 6.
- the press 11 and the fixing solution contact means 13 may form an integral assembly as shown in Fig. 5.
- three rolls 20a, 20b and 20c will suffice and, in addition, the drive power only needs to be transmitted to the center roll 20b for causing the pressing rolls 20a/20b and the fixing solution contact rolls 20b/20c to rotate at the same time.
- the press 11 and the fixing solution contact means 13 may form an integral assembly as shown in Fig. 5.
- one of the three rolls, for example, 20b is secured to a table and pressure levers 21a and 21b are mounted on the other rolls 20a and 20c, respectively; the levers 21a and 21b are respectively connected to pneumatic pressure cylinders 22a and 22b, and air is introduced into the respective cylinders, so that the pressure acting between rolls 20a and 20b and between rolls 20b and 20c can be adjusted by motion of the levers.
- the strip 7 from which the fixing solution has been imparted to the substrate 6 is then transported to the washer 14.
- the washer 14 is furnished with temperature-controlled steam heating pipes, cooling water pipes, overflows, etc.
- the washer 14 also has a tank 16 for a cleaning solution that is composed of water that may contain a detergent and other optimal ingredients.
- a plurality of transport rolls 9 for the accompanying strip 7 are provided near the bottom of the tank 16 and the strip 7 can be cleaned thoroughly as it is transported in a zigzag path between those transport rolls 9.
- the dehydrator 15 consists of a pair of pressure rolls, between which the cleaned strip 7 is passed for dehydration.
- the substrate 6 to which the fixing solution has been imparted is then transported to the steamer 2.
- the steamer 2 has an entrance 30 for the substrate 6 provided in the bottom at one end; it also has an exit 31 for the substrate provided at the other end at the bottom.
- a row of substrate transport rolls 32 are arranged in the upper portion of the steaming space between the substrate entrance 30 and exit 31.
- the first substrate transport roll 32a which is the closest to the entrance 30 ensures that the substrate 6 emerging from the fixing solution imparting unit 1 is properly guided into the steamer 2.
- the transport rolls 32 are driven in such a controlled manner (for details, see below) that the substrate 6 is transported toward the exit 31 as it is hung over the sequence of transport rolls 32. Therefore, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the substrate 6 is transported in a serpentine path (it droops between adjacent transport rolls 32) and as the substrate 6 is transported in this way, it is heated sufficiently to achieve satisfactory dye fixation.
- the means of transporting the substrate within the steamer 2 in the embodiment under consideration is optimal for the method of dyeing only one side of the substrate as in printing. In this case, only the side of the substrate that does not come in contact with the rolls 32 is printed, thus permitting the substrate to be dyed to produce a good finish without being stained by the rolls 32. Needless to say, the transport means is also applicable to dyeing both sides of the substrate as in plain dyeing.
- each roll 32 is subjected to an anti-slip treatment that will provide a higher friction coefficient.
- an anti-slip treatment include providing a number of spikes over the entire surface of the rolls 32, as well as covering the rolls with a coating of plastics, metals or other materials having a high friction coefficient.
- All transport rolls 32 except the first roll 32a and the subsequent second roll 32b are provided with auxiliary rolls 33 that are located near the rolls 32 in a position upstream of the rolls 32 with respect to the direction of substrate transport to insure that the drooping substrate during transport is folded back and positively transferred to the next roll 32.
- all transport rolls 32 including the first and second rolls are provided with auxiliary rolls 34 that are located near the rolls 32 in a position downstream in the direction of substrate transport to insure that the substrate 6 will not wind itself around the rolls 32 having a high friction coefficient.
- An endless belt 35 runs over the second transport roll 32 so as to form a transport path that is inclined toward the first transport roll 32a.
- Two units 37ax and 37ay of a first sensor 37a for substrate detection are provided vertically in a position that is below the first transport roll 32a and which face the endless belt 35.
- Two units 37x and 37y of a substrate detecting sensor 37 are also provided vertically for the second and subsequent transport rolls 32 in a position that is below the space between adjacent rolls.
- the sensors 37 may be of any type that is capable of detecting the substrate 6, as exemplified by photosensors, touch sensors, etc.
- sensors 37a and 37b are photosensors and sensor 37z is a touch sensor.
- a plurality of openable inspection doors 38 are provided, as required, in the side wall of the steamer 2.
- the steamer 2 is supplied with steam that is blown in through a plurality of inlets 39 which are provided uniformly along the entire length of the bottom of the steamer 2 in such a way that they are arranged in the direction of substrate transport.
- Pressure-controlled steam from a boiler (not shown) is blown into the steamer 2.
- Steam deflecting covers (not shown) are provided above the steam inlets 39 to insure that the steam gushing out of the inlets will not make direct contact with the substrate.
- Drain baffle walls 30a and 31a are provided within the steamer 2 around the entrance 30 and exit 31, respectively, to insure that steam condensate will not leak out of the steamer 2 through the entrance 30 and the exit 31.
- Steam chambers 41 and 42 are provided on the side of the exterior wall of the steamer 2 away from the drain baffle walls 30a and 31a, respectively; the steam discharged through the entrance 30 and exit 31 will stay temporarily in the chambers 41 and 42 and then it passes through riser pipes 43 and 45 that run on the outer surface of the side wall of the steamer 2 before the steam is eventually discharged to ambient through exhaust fans 46 and 47.
- Dampers 49 and 50 are provided approximately halfway along the pipes 43 and 45, respectively, and by adjusting the degree of their opening, the quantity of steam present in the steamer 2 can be controlled.
- the quantity of steam in the steamer 2 is detected with a pressure sensor (not shown) and a signal for the detected value is transmitted to damper controls (not shown).
- the leading edge of the substrate 6 to be dyed is connected by sewing to a guide cloth that is preliminarily stretched over all rolls 32 in the steamer 2. Then, the substrate 6 as it is guided by the cloth is fed into the steamer 2 through the entrance 30. When the interior of the steamer 2 is fully saturated with steam, the individual transport rolls 32 start to be driven. If the leading edge of the substrate 6 is detected by the first sensor 37a, the endless belt 35 to the second roll 32b starts to be driven, causing the substrate 6 to be transported with its leading edge folded back toward the transport roll 32b.
- the third transport roll 32c will start to rotate. In this way, transport rolls positioned downstream of the direction of substrate transport start to rotate successively and the substrate will be transported as it droops between adjacent transport rolls 32.
- the printed fabric entering the steamer 2 may have already gained a moisture content; however, on account of the printing paste, the fabric is hard and lacks suppleness; hence, it might swing in the direction of transport when it bends.
- the endless belt 35 is provided in order to prevent the occurrence of such a swing.
- the sensors 37 provided between the second transport roll 32b and subsequent rolls 32 are capable of controlling the rotating speeds of the associated rolls 32 to insure that the folded portions of the substrate 6 will always be positioned within the range that can be detected by the upper and lower rows x and y of sensors.
- the time for which the substrate 6 stays within the steamer 2 can be adjusted to an optimal value in accordance with the material of the substrate or the method of dyeing it. It should be noted here that the transport of the substrate 6 in a serpentine path is controlled by the associated control unit (not shown).
- the steamer 2 is positioned directly over the fixing solution imparting unit 1, such that the apparatus can be small in size and the overall length.
- the steamer 2 is positioned offset with respect to the fixing solution imparting unit 1, such that the substrate 6 can be steamed shortly after being in pregnation with the fixing solution.
- printing pastes were prepared according to the formulae shown in Tables 2 and 3.
- Mercerized cotton satin fabrics 120 g/m2 were printed with those pastes, dried, steamed in a steamer at 103°C for 5 min, washed with cold water, then with warm water, and further cleaned with boiling water having 2 g of a nonionic surfactant (available under the tradename "HOSTAPAL CT-40" from Hoechst AG) dissolved in a liter of water.

- Water was also added to prepare a dye solution in a total amount of 1000 parts by volume.
- a mercerized cotton twill fabric (180 g/m2) was immersed in that dye solution, pressed to a pickup of about 70% and baked at 120°C for 3 min.
- Example 3 where it was brought into contact with the baked cotton twill fabric while, at the same time, the two members were pressed together at a pressure of 3.0 kg/cm2 to insure that the fixing solution was imparted to the cotton twill fabric in an amount of 53%. Thereafter, the fabric was steamed at 103°C for 45 sec. and further cleaned as in Example 1.
- a cotton twill fabric was immersed in a dye solution, pressed and dried as in the above-described Example 4.
- 200 parts of sodium sulfate, 40 parts of sodium carbonate and 15 parts by volume of sodium hydroxide (38° Bé) were mixed together. Water was added to the mixture to prepare a fixing solution in a total amount of 1000 parts by volume.
- the dried twill fabric after immersed in a dyeing solution and pressed as in Example 4 was immersed in the fixing solution and mangled at a pressure of 2.5 kg/cm2 so that the fixing solution would be imparted to the fabric in an amount of 78%.
- the dyed fabric was subsequently processed as in Example 4.
- Example 4 and Comparative Example 2 were measured for their apparent strength; the apparent strength of the fabric dyed in Example 4 was 104 on either side, with the value for the dyed fabric of Comparative Example 2 being taken as 100.
- an accompanying strip that has been impregnated with a fixing solution is transported in the same direction as the transport of a fibrous material that has been printed or impregnated with dye and thereafter dried.
- the strip is brought into contact with the fibrous material while, at the same time, the two members are pressed together, whereby the fixing solution can be imparted to the fibrous material in an optimal amount that matches the nature of the fibrous material.
- the dyeing method of the present invention also offers an economic advantage since compared to the conventional methods of imparting fixing solutions, the method of the invention permits the use of a fixing solution containing a smaller amount of dye fixing agent and, furthermore, the fixing solution may be imparted to the fibrous material in a smaller quantity.
- the fixing solution can be imparted to the fibrous material in an optimal amount and, hence, not only is it possible to prevent the occurrence of dye bleeding while retaining a high color yield, but one can also print or pad-dye the substrates in a consistent way to yield better quality.
- the present invention offers yet another advantage, from the standpoint of both operational efficiency and environmental preservation, in that dyed fabric can be produced without dye bleeding or unevenness in dye strength even if neither urea nor liquid alkali water glass is used.
