Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company. Chambers Works (originator)
Description: 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 characteristics in the same fabric, the result is cross dyeing, each fiber picking up its particular dye in the bath or chamber and disregarding the others.

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.

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.
