The development of a laboratory procedure for dyeing nylon knits, for reproducibility of shades and levelness, using a mixture of three dyes

Abstract

Introduction In the past few years there has been a tremendous growth in texturized knit fabrics. Nearly all the texturized filament nylon consumed in 1972 'was used in knitwear (1). In addition to this increased consumer demand for knits, the consumer has also been increasing his demands for durabi1itv and utility in the fabrics he buys. The durability and utility included dyefastness properties of adequate colorfastness and acceptable levelness of dyeing (2). Because of the great amount of nylon used in knitwear and the consumer demand for higher quality, the problems associated with nylon have become increasingly important...
