MASS COLOURATION processes, operations
Also called Dope dyeing, Solution dyeing and Spun dyeing. Process of dyeing of manufactured fibres in the spinning stage itself. Significant quantities of filament are coloured by mass pig-mentation methods in which heat-stable pigment particles are dispersed in the molten polymer prior to extrusion into filaments. This is a particularly suitable method for olefin fibres that are too hydrophobic to be coloured from an aqueous dyebath, but it may also be used for polyester, nylon and viscose fibres. Other colourants are dissolved in the fibre-forming polymer and remain ‘in situ’ after conversion of the polymer to filament.
A further variation used for acrylic fibres is to bring the freshly extruded filament into contact with a solution of basic dye before the filament is allowed to dry out. This process is referred to as Pro-ducer dyeing.
