A pad steam process developed by the DuPont Company's Dyestuffs Division, provides an economical method for continuous application of vat dyes to relatively small quantities of fine fabrics. A working model of the apparatus is here being...
The Barotor, developed by DuPont research and produced commercially under license by manufacturers of dyeing equipment for rapid dyeing of large yardages of fabric under pressure, is typical of accomplishments of DuPont's $6 million Textile...
Economical method for continuous application of vat dyes to large or small quantities of fine fabrics is provided by the Pad Steam process, developed by the DuPont Company's Dyestuffs Division. This working model of the apparatus is being operated...
Vat dyes may be conveniently applied to a wider variety of fabrics than ever before by means of the Multi Lap machine, developed by the DuPont Company's Dyestuffs Division. The fabric is carried into and out of the dye bath a number of times on an...

This image shows a section of the vat color chemical control laboratory at the dye works. Vat colors are the fastest coloring agent known to modern science and are used on cotton, viscose process rayon and linen. In general, these colors are the...
For the most part, textile fibers-natural and man made- have wide varying physical and chemical properties. The differences are apparent in the types of dye which adhere to the fibers. By mixing or blending fibers with different dyeing...
At left a paper sheet mold used for making paper, showing a sheet of dyed paper about to be taken from the mold. At right a hydraulic press used to press water out of the paper. Equipment at the Technical Laboratory, Dyestuff Division.
A miniature single cylinder paper machine. The box at the far right contains the coloring agent and the furnish, composed of either wood pulp or rag stock, depending upon the type and quality of paper desired. The subsequent option is comparable to...
Paper making machine processing paper from the pulp to the finished sheet in the Technical Laboratory, Dyestuffs Division. A strip of paper made in the machine can be seen wound over the drum at the right.
At DuPont's Chamber Works a dye worker adds salt to dye solution from huge hoppers. The salt isolates the dye from the water in which it is mixed. Tons of ice control the solution at proper low temperature.
