Dye prepns for transfer printing - contg less finely milled dye particles without thickeners

Dye prepns. contg. at least one dye or optical brightener suitable for transfer printing, with particle size below 15 mu m. Use of dyes less finely milled than the usual 0.01-2 mu m and without usual thickeners, e.g. cellulose derivs., added during milling, allows more universal applicn., by stirring into any type of medium. Prepared printing pastes can be concentrated or modified without affecting their viscosity. Less dye is lost by absorption of fine particles into porous carriers. Pastes with high concns. of dye can be made, and absence of thickeners allows machines for printing the carrier to be run at up to twice usual speeds. The prepns. are esp. suitable for producing dark shades and for use on carpet materials, since they ensure a high applicn. of dye.

Machine for joining plates with integral lugs - has piercing tool for making trapezoidal stable connecting lugs in pairs

Process with no heating for transfer pattern printing of a moist cellulose, wool or silk textile web, and an apparatus as well as a pattern carrier web for use in the process

In a process for transfer pattern printing of a moist textile web consisting wholly or predominantly of natural fibers, in particular cotton, and/or artificial fibers on the basis of cellulose, the pattern carrier web is a web of paper or a paper-like material which carries a pre-printed pattern of a water soluble or dispersable dye.
