Ps. Collishaw et al., CONTROLLED COLORATION - A SUCCESS STRATEGY FOR THE DYEING OF CELLULOSIC FIBERS WITH REACTIVE DYES, Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, 109(9), 1993, pp. 284-292
The impact of improving the rate of right-first-time production on pro
ductivity and profitability for a batchwise dyehouse processing cellul
osic fibres is reviewed. The measurement and level of performance requ
ired from reactive dyes to support right-first-time production is defi
ned in the form of a reactive dye compatibility matrix (RCM). The appl
ication of the RCM as a diagnostic tool in dye selection and process d
esign is outlined.
