- Description
-
Accuracy is extremely important in testing dyestuffs. Delicate balances are used, it being frequently necessary to weigh as little as 1 milligram of color. The DuPont Technical Laboratory is equipped with sensitive scientific balances, handled by trained operators to weigh out quantities of color used in making dyeings of prescribed strength on cotton, wool, rayon, acetate, nylon, silk, paper, leather etc.

The equipment illustrated is typical of what the visitor will see in most research and application laboratories. Known as reflux units, they are used as testing instruments in ascertaining the resistance of a brown dye to various metals. Each flask contains a piece of metal and a prescribed quantity of dye in solution. After continuous boiling for a 24 hour period, the dye is carefully checked and tested, to determine what effect if any the metal may have had upon its shade, strength,...

Each flask contains a piece of metal and a prescribed quantity of dye in solution. After continuous boiling for a 24 hour period, the dye is carefully checked and tested, to determine what effect if any the metal may have had upon its shade, strength, physical composition or any other property essential to a satisfactory dying operation. Thus the user has predetermined information grading the characteristics of a color available to him.

Wash day is a colorful event at the dyestuffs Technical Laboratory of the DuPont Company. Here Miss Dorothy Hampton [a laboratory technician] takes in dyed and printed samples of cloth which have been hung out to test the fastness of colors to alternate laundering and sunlight. The vat dyes will hold up under a great many washings and clothesline dryings.

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 fastest because of their inherent characteristics and the nature of their combination with the fibers colored. In themselves, vat dyes are outstanding in their resistance to such color destroying influences as light laundering, acids and alkalites....
Show moreThis 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 fastest because of their inherent characteristics and the nature of their combination with the fibers colored. In themselves, vat dyes are outstanding in their resistance to such color destroying influences as light laundering, acids and alkalites. They are insoluble in water and therefore cannot 'bleed'. When applied they are rendered soluble by chemical means, and this solution enters the fiber to be colored. The color is then oxidized with an oxidizing agent and the dye brought back to its original insoluble form. Thus, the dye become a permanent part of the fiber.
