Abstract:

This article reports investigations into the computation problems related with the dyeing of textile products composed of microfibres. The so-called basic proportions and modified proportions were proposed in dye demand computations. A comparative study showe that appreciable additional amounts of dye are required to achieve a given shade depth when conventional multifilament yarns are replaced by microfilament yarns. Better fitness for dye demand prognosis was observed for application of modified proportions if compared with use of basic proportions.
