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 endless conveyor so that the dyeing is accomplished with minim in stretching or distortion. Operating this working model of the apparatus, in the company's Technical Laboratory are Joseph Brooks, at right, and Leigh Rice, back of machine.

Show moreA 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 demonstrated by Meadows S. William s, Jr. at the left and Dr. R.J. Thomas, both of the company's Technical Laboratory. The cloth enters at the left, picking up the insoluble dyestuff in a pigment padder, then goes through the flue dryers. Chemicals are applied in the second padder in the center and the dye is finished in the steam chamber, at the right. The color which has now penetrated into to the fabric, changes back into its permanent insoluble form.

Acute shortage of dyes during World War I precipitated the company's entry into the field. Until then, less than 10% of the dyes consumed in the United Sates were made here.

Show moreModern American dye industry was born in this handful of buildings at Deepwater, New Jersey on July 17, 1917 when DuPont processed its first successful charge of sulfur black. Acute shortage of dyes during World War I precipitated the company's entry into the field. Until then, less than 10% of the dyes consumed in the United Sates were made here. So complete was the dependency on European imports that even postage stamps and currency were colored with German dyes. Originally know as the Dye Works, the Deepwater plant was renamed Chambers Works in 1944 in honor of Dr. Arthur D. Chambers, who pioneered its early development.

- Raw cotton with wetting agents
- Date(s)

- E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
- Description
-
Raw cotton, due to the presence of natural waxes and fats, is quite resistant to wetting by ordinary water, but the addition of a small amount of certain chemicals, known as wetting agents, causes the cotton to become wet rapidly. Wetting agents are accordingly used to speed up various textile operations which involve wetting-such as souring cleaning and dyeing.
