DIRECT COTTON DYE STUFFS

          These are dye stuffs which dye cotton from a neutral o rsilghtly alkaline bath. The syeing is an adsorption process and requires a certain segree of aggregation of the dye stuff in the dye bath and a certain special shape of the molecule .It is usual to increase the natural state of aggregation by the addition of salt or Sauber's salt. many direct cotton aye stuffs aye wool and silk at the boil as strongly as or more strongly than they sye cotton . A few leave wool undated especially in alkaline baths a low temperatures or after treatment of the wool with formal dehydrate or tannin . Many combine with formaldehyde copper or chromium salts to give dyeings of greatly improved fastness to either light or washing or both.


SULPHUR DYE STUFFS :
                                            This type of dye stuff is insoluble in water but is reduced by mild reducing agents such as sodium sulphide to a water soluble eleucocompound which is absorbed by cotton subsequent oxidation con averts the LegCo compound into the original insoluble form and thus "dyes " the fiber. The dyeing are usually very fast to wet processing .
Several sulphide dye stuffs are improved in fastness by after treat meant with chromium or copper salts and are brightened in shade by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizing agent . They always contain proportions of sulphur in a form easily oxidized on storage into sulfuric acid and consequently heavy shades such as black may produce sufficient acid over a period of time to cause tendering of vegetable fibers on which they are dyed . They can be brightened in shade by after treatment with basic colors for which they act as a mordant.

THE MEASUREMENT OF WHITE SUBSTANCES

            It might seem at first sight that the examination of white surfaces is merely a special application of the general methods of measurement of colours and that and of the instruments previously described would be satisfactory . It is a curious fact however that the colour of almost white substances is very difficult to measure accurately and consistently with such instruments . The difficulty lies in the eye of the observer and not in the sensitivity of the instrument .
         Very little work has been published upon the variation of sensitivity of the eye with the proportion of white present in a colour but it has been established that the neater a colour approaches white the more insensitive the human eye becomes to changes both in the actual colour (i e hue ) and in the amount of white present (i e the depth of the colour ).

LOVIBOND TINTOMETER

                The lovibond tintometer on one of the more familiar scientific instruments in th educing trade, In effect it works on exactly the same principle as dyeing to pattern the pattern is matched by means of red yellow an blue glasses which are mixed together until the required shade is obtained . In this instrument the pattern which is being matched is illuminated by an intense light thrown into one half of an eyepiece. the other half of the eyepiece is illuminated by a white light of standard intensity . The colour of this light can be modified by interposing coloured glasses between the light source and the eyepiece.
  VERY BRIGHT COLOURS:
                 It may be mentioned that in certain cases colours occur which are brighter than the colour units employed in the Tintometer . This may frequently happen when one is recording the shades of say dyeings of basic colours on silk . There is of course no glass in the Tintometer scales which compares in brightness with the shade of Rhoda mine silk or of Sulphurous on wool. In such a case it is necessary to introduce neutral tint slices i e grey glasses between the sample under test and the eye of the observer . This is recorded as excess brightness and indicates the amount of light reflected or transmitted by the sample n excess of the light reflected ot transmitted by the Tintometer slides.
                  In the Lovibon Tintometer British drug Houses pattern the number of slides in the standard model No I is restricted to sixty giving twenty of each colour red yellow and blue . It is found that good agreement between observers is obtained when working to this order of colour but Tintomter slides with finer gradations can be prepared for special purposes demanding a higher degree of accuracy.

TEST FOR COLOUR BLINDNESS FOR GARNER TEST

GARNER  TEST :
                           Some principles to be followed in devising a test sufficiently sensitive to detect such differences have been described by the author 13 else where .These principles have since been used to construct a test which detects qualitatively and quantitatively differences in colour vision which exist amongst for example foreman dyers of proved ability in colour matching .Representative points on a colour triangle the corners of which are red yellow and blue are dyed with dyes which possess reflection spectra such that they tend to go greener in artificial light whilst test patterns are dyes in such a way that they go redder in artificial light.
  A match obtained by a normal person in north daylight on this test is not valid to him in any other light and the test is therefore of use in evaluating lamps put forward as suitable for colour matching. In one experiment a difference in the colour of the light from two commercial daylight matching lamps of the same make and supposedly identical was detected and found to be due to a difference in the age for the electric bulb in the two lamps.
          The reflectance spectra of two patterns which in this test match in north daylight to normal eyes differ in the red and green regions of the spectrum . Therefore a person who is colour weak with respect to green or red sees a difference in depth where the normal eye sees identity this difference in depth in depth is regather by the colour weak person as a difference in colour. The test detects cases of red green colour weakness which are mild enough to escape such tests as the Ishmael test .  It is also by its nature able to detest departures from normal due to yellowing of the lens or abnormal oracular pigmentation .
           The normal or mean match positions in the light of the Sc standard north daylight of the C I E 1,2 have been ascertained and are recorded on a chart for reference purposes . The test is issued together with would be obtained by a normal observer have been assessed and noted.
           The deviations from normal found by examination of a considerable number of individuals have been calculated into terms of standard deviation and a circle wotha radius of twice the standard deviation drawn round the mean match positions on the chart may be used in assessing the suitability or otherwise of an individual for employment as a colour matcher.

Painful memories: Seek treatment for depression and feeling
In addition to stress and anxiety, individuals suffering from major depression may experience symptoms such as difficult concentrating, remembering details and making decisions. More importantly depression may result in a speaks in the level of cortisol in your brain. A long-term increase in the steroid hormone cortisol may lead to wasting away of your hippo campus, the part of your brain responsible for memory.
Sleep strengthens memory 
Sleep is vital in consolidating memory. The effects of adequate sleep help us understand why studying and getting 8 hours rest, is always better than studying the day of an exam. Sleep specialists still do not know the overarching purpose of sleep however, but emerging research continues to support the idea that sleep is important to the brain. While everyone may agree that a good night’s sleep makes you feel better in the morning, the science behind sleep is also critically important to policy makers that construct work hour regulations for doctors, medical residents and pilots.

Life in important you brain

 what is you life in health ?( blonde moments) - whatever you prefer to call it, we all experience forgetfulness from time to time. But there are a few simple things you can do to keep brain glitches at bay. NBC's chief medical editor Dr.Nadia Manib  offers these five easy tips to give your mental powers a boost.
Everything in moderation: Keep your alcohol intake in check
Most peoples  know that too much alcohol can impair your short-term memory. But long-term, overconsumption of alcohol can permanently impair your recall ability. Some studies have shown that moderate drinkers do better on memory tests than both heavy drinkers and even nondrinkers. Although physicians do not recommend that everyone start consuming alcohol, we certainly know that alcohol abuse can damage your brain cells and impair memory and cognition.

Mind boggling brain : Memory plays games

           Although there is plenty of controversy surrounding the memory benefits of brain-teasers and puzzles,,, for all peoples they are a good way to spend a holiday  morning. An added benefit of brain play games is that they can often be share with all your family and all friends. Social inter action is a good  way to get the neurons firing. Inter acting with both pets and peoples has been show to stave off depressive feelings and will makes you feeling youth full and vibrant for years to come.

FURTHER WINDING TEST

         The winding may be tested further as follows . A two in wide length of adhesive tape such as is used by electricians for insulation ( or gummed paper or transparent cellulose adhesive tape ) is cut five ins . long. It is pressed longitudinally along the rod and pressed round the circumference to cover the winding completely. a sharp knife is then used to cut the winding along the length of the rod where the two edges of the tape meet .It is then a simple matter to strip the winding off from the rod as a sheet of parallel threads measuring two ins. by five ins.The sheet is placed face downwards upon a flat surface and ironed with a warm iron to complete firm adhesion to the tape .
         This pad or sheet is sufficiently stable to withstand wet treatments such as scouring stripping of sye re dyeing or testing with B D H Universal Indicator for variations in alkalinity or acidity or staining with ferro cyanide for iron content or for examination by ultra violet light for mineral oil stains . It is useful to employ this method in conjunction with the staining methods given in my other post .
This device may also be used to follow variations in length due to processing. A length of yarn is wrapped round the long axis the yarn is unwrapped and treated (e.g. by mercerisation ) dried and rewound under the same tension as originally used . Shrinkage will be indicated be the marked places forming a spiral on the rod and irregular shrinkage will show as irregularities in the spiral.
In practical works laboratory technique the use of the inspection board and inspection rod coupled with systematic examination of variations in the consecutive length of yarn obtained in the way described will solve a large percentage of the problems encountered.

LIPS AND EYES

 lips:
For the bride’s lips, I like to use a colour
that will not clash with the bride’s eyes and dress and
 of course her Bouquet…Bearing in mind you have already
 primed your lips when you applied your foundation and
powder by putting a suitable balm or moisturiser on
them after you have done your base. By the time you
are ready for lipstick to be applied, your lips will
be in perfect condition…-Always leave this to the very last.
I use a “Nude” lip pencil over the entire lip before applying
the lip colour as it gives extra staying power, apply
lip-colour then blot with a tissue and reapply lipstick with a
touch of gloss or a more shimmering colour to enhance the shadow of
your bottom lip and a slight touch over the top lip.



Eye
For your eyes, can not go wrong with matt make up with slight shimmering
shadow . I usually use a combination or colours to compliment the brides out fit.
A soft black eyeliner .(no browns ) use black mascara for your dedding day,
even if you are very fair and usually go for brown.. it will show up better in your
photographs, smudged finshed to the base of your lashes on your upper lid
will make your eyeslashes appear thicker and , in conjunction with a little grey or
dark brown eye  shadow applied with a think brush at the base of your lower
lashes,,, will suntyl define your eyes perfect for the photos .    

REGENERATED CELLULOSE RAYONS

       The group includes viscose rayon cup rate rayon resin modified viscose types and magnified acetate rayon's  i e products which are substantially poly b glucose. They may be regarded chemically as swollen cellulose and their general reactions are similar to those of mercerised cotton though they are considerably more degraded. their shorter chain length causes them to have a considerably higher fluidity a greater susceptibility to chemical attack and a considerably greater swelling in water ( which results in a much greater extensibility when wet) than mercerised cotton . According to staudinger the mean chain length of cotton corresponds to 2,000 glucose units whereas the mean chain length of viscose probably contains not more than 300 to 450 units.
      Microscopically the main types of these rayon are fairly easily distinguished from each other . In addition to the normal forms there are products which have been de lustred by incorporation of pigments (titanium dioxide usually ) in the opining dope or by surface application of a pigment such as barium sulphate or by finely dispersed resins such as dimethyl urea or by substantive quaternary containing numerous air bubbles and one form which has a central canal . For examination of these types option solution of the main fibre by mounting in a medium of suitable ref active index is of great value.

OXIDATION HISTORY

A slow oxidation over a long period will produce the same alterations as a rapid oxidation over a short period. The first attack by oxygen upon an oil results in peroxide formation peroxides then decompose into either free fatty acid petrol insoluble acids or the original unsaturated compound or aldehyde. Analysis for any of the decomposition products determines the amount of oxidation which has taken place but this knowledge is far less important than knowledge of the speed at which oxidation is liable to take place.
    Oxidation acids are not removed by most commercial refining processes and their amount is a safe indication of the extent of past oxidation but not of its cause nor of the likelihood of future oxidation .
    Considerable amounts of oxy-acids indicate the existence in time past of a considerable swing of the catalyst anti oxidant balance in favour of oxidation . If the reasons for the presence of oxy acids in an oil have been dealt with the presence of less than 2 % in a vegetable oil is not objectionable.
   The peroxide content of an oil has repeatedly been proposed as a criterion of suitability but it gives no indication whatever of future oxidation tendencies a given value may be due to slow formation over a long period in which case it is harmless or to a quick formation over a short period in which case it is a pointer to danger.

THE ANALYSIS OF FINISHES

       It will be realized from the preceding pages that the finish on a fabric may contain a wide range of substances most of which are of such a character that they do not lend themselves easily to exact identification . Commercial finishes usually have a basis or carrier of starch gum to resin which confers more or less stiffness and acts as a binder for other ingredients . Its stiffness and handle depend on the actual basis present the percentage applied and the method of application depend on the viscosity of the paste or rather f the weight of the thickener per gallon necessary to give a paste of the usual consistency required for practical application . The thickening material may have been modified by chemical treatment which produces degradation products such as Dexedrine or glucose . Hygroscopic agents such as glycerine sodium lactate or Manning may be added . For certain purposes sugar itself is used . Soaps fats waxes or oils may be present for some cloths filling compounds such as chalk talc or other weightings may be present . Antiseptics and antimissile compounds or in recent years anti vermin compounds may be used whilst moth proofing agents are common.
    It is therefore at the present time very difficult to work out a general scheme of analysis which will systematically lead to the orderly detection of the components. Indeed the main element in any such scheme must be experience in the analysis if sizes and thickening's.
Probably the greater the experience the less is any rigid scheme adopted .

ANALYSIS OF COLOR CURVE

        The color curve now requires analysis . A glance at the curve will show that its peak point is in the orange section of the spectrum, which is to be expected because of the color of the pattern . The position of the curve as a whole indicates to what degree a color is light or dark . If the color is light that is to say is a approaching a white then the curve will be high up on the graph . If on the other will be flatter and low down on the curve.
      The average position of the curve is termed the mean tone and is obtained by adding together the percentage of light transmitted through each of fig .ninety two will transmit the following percentages of light through the six filters
red 63 % ------Orange  64%------Yellow 49%--------Green 17%--------Blue 7%--------Violet 9%
        The mean tone will then equal 35 % and it is indicated by drawing a straight line on the graph.
The purity of a color is indicated by the percentage transmission of the dominant color compared with the percentage transmitted by the complementary to this color . For example a bright reddish orange will contain very little of its complementary color blue it will have great purity  The more blue there is presnt the more blue will be reflected from the pattern and the dirtier and flatter will the scarlet color be , This would be indicated on the graph be the curve being higher in the blue region . the purity of the orange represented in fig 92 is 64 transmission of the dominant orange minus 7 transmission of the complementary blue equals 57 .
      In the above description the amounts transmitted through the various filters are returned as percentages.

THE COLOR COUNCIL DICTIONARY

          The dictionary was produced originally with the object of defining the exact shades indicated be such common expressions as sky blue , flesh color coral and so on . These terms had come to have different meanings for different people with consequent loss and confusion when these divergences impinged upon commerce. For example flesh color may range from a pale salmon in some minds to a dark pink in others Mr. R..F Wilson the manager of the color council in the preparation of the dictionary asked a large number of representative people to send patterns which they considered to answer to the various names put forward . The variety of shades which was proved to be current under any single color name was astonishing. It is however now possible to select a soler from the color dictionary and to cable its name to a firm in say Australia with the assurance that the firm will be able to know exactly what kind of color is meant . It is also of course possible by means of the dictionary to define the shade of any dyed pattern as being for instance rather darker than the salmon shade.

         The dictionary of course despite its general utility provides only a rough and ready method and has serious disadvantages . The most important of these lies in the fact that the color of any substance depends upon two factors A the absorption spectrum of the color and B the composition of the light shining on the pattern . It is well known that two patterns may be dyed to a perfect match in north day light but may yet be very different in color when seen in artificial light . In the same way whenever a color which has been obtained be using certain specified dye stuffs is matched by means of other dye stuffs the absorption spectrum of the resultant match will be different from that of the standard. Thus the color council pattern dyed on silk will match the same color produced in for example pottery leather rubber wool etc in one specific light only and in and other light it will probably appear a different hue . There is also the difficulty that a color produced on a lustrous material such as silk can never be matched exactly in a dull material such as unglazed pottery on in a very broken surface such as raised woolen cloth.
         When more exact nomenclature is required without the use of a scientific instrument the chief alternatives at the present time are the Ostwald and the mun sell color systems.

TEXTILE APPLICATIONS

       At the present time all the well known resins of the colorless type are employed in textile work for one purpose or another . The following brief survey is merely illustrative of the main type which the analyst may expect to fine .
      Many of the thermoplastic type are made into fibers e.g the poly-amides polyvinyl chloride polyisobutylene
chloride alkyd and styrene. There are three of four protein formaldehyde fibers . Some fibers especially cotton and rayon are reacted with synthetic resin components such as aldehyde or ketone to produce new cross bonded products exhibiting durable stiff furnishes which must be regarded as belonging to the synthetic resin group . The treatment of cellulose with acetone and of wool with formaldehyde must be included in this group.
        Starch has been condensed with formaldehyde in presence of an acid catalyst to produce resistant finishes. Cellulose ethers alkyl celluloses including methyl ethyl and benzyl cellulose have useful applications methyl cellulose has the peculiar and valuable property of being insoluble in hot water but soluble cold . The hydroxy alkyl celluloses such as glycol cellulose form mucilages with two N caustic soda from which they can be applied to textiles treatment with dilute acid precipitates the resin on to the fiber in a form fast to mild washing . carboxylic cellulose forms a water soluble sodium salt which on drying on the fiber gives a flexible film type finish.

ELECTRICAL INSULATION

ELECTRICAL : INSULATION 
                 The electrical conductivity of bone dry textile fibers is extremely small . The conductivity shown under conditions of normal regain must be considered due to the solution of water soluble electrolytes in the regain moisture to form am more or less continuous conducting film over the internal and external surfaces of the fibers .

SURFACE LEAKAGE :
                 The conductance is largely due to the facility with which an electric current can pass through the system by leakage from the surface of one fiber to another, This surface leakage depends on the following factors:
                The physical structure of the yarn or fabric, and especially the amount of twist in the yarn the closeness of the weave of a fabric the tightness with which the yarn or fabric is wound upon the metal to be insulated and the pressure under which it is placed.
                The springiness and surface structure of the fibers of smooth surface low resilience or high plasticity will tend to give the largest area of surface contact of fibers .
                The moisture content of the fiber at the temperature of operation of the electrical apparatus . The higher the moisture content the thicker the surface film of moisture and the more likely it is to be substantially continuous:
              The moisture content will normally be due in the main to the natural regain of the fiber but may be increased by the presence of hygroscopic salts . In apparatus designed to run at high temperatures such as one hundred to 115 deg .c . the eventual moisture content of fiber insulators will be small as most of the natural regain will be driven off under conditions of use .The eventual current leakage will therefore be only a fraction of the initial leakage the first effect of heating however will be to drive moisture to the surface of the fibers which will result temporarily in a great increase in leakage. The higher the initial regain of the fibers the more pronounced this effect will be and in the interior of electrical plant it may take some time for moisture to dry out.
             The content of water soluble electrolytes present as impurities in the fiber these may be naturally occurring or may be residues from some chemical processing.
             In recent years various processes have been devised for producing washed textile fibers. These consist in washing with weak acids to remove water and acid soluble electrolytes the washing being then followed with water washes until the PH of the fiber reaches the is electric point for the fiber at which adsorption of electrolytes ( including acids ) is at a minimum. These processes aim at reducing the ash content to a minimum and at leaving the fiber at its is o electric point . It has been found possible to wash cotton to give better insulation than natural silk . It is however not the total ash content but the water soluble electrolytes which are important the author produced a true silk fiber of very high insulation value yielding 11.4% of ash none of which however was water soluble .
             The hydrophilic and or salt forming groupings in the molecular structure of the fiber . for example the etherized and hydroxy or car boxy grouping in cotton are hydrophilic and the cooh groups are salt forming cotton is therefore intrinsically less suitable as an insulator than Cotopa ( Acetylated cotton ) or more especially than polyvinyl chloride rayon which contains no hydrophilic or salt forming groups and in consequence has an insignificant regain and water soluble electrolyte content.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF WATER:

             An industrial laboratory should not in general attempt to analyse water for drinking purposes. Th egardness having been determined together with other data necessary for steam raising purposes the only other data required are suspended matter humic matter iron dissolved oxygen and in rare cases sulphuretted hydrogen.

            Suspended matter.Filter I Liter though tared filter papers dry at mon more than one hundred and five deg .C. and weigh .In natural waters the residue may contain fine sand or earthy matter. In softened waters there may be suspended calcium and magnesium salts which sometimes continue to percipitate for some hours after softening. In zeolite especially from certain friable types .  There may also be iron rust from water pipes and suspended humic matter from moorland waters .  Occasionally filamentous algae are present. Suspended matter is very objectionable in all syeing processes where the dyeing liquor is circulated through packages of fibrous material whether hank cake top or beam.  Humic acid is a nuisance in neutral dyeing as it is absorbed by animal fibres almost like a neutral dyeing buff coloured dye stuff. In one case when water contained much humic matter pale blues could be obtained only by dyeing some material intended for dark shades in the water to be used for the blue shade to remove the hmic matter.  Iron is responsible for the flattening of shades with iron sensitive dye stuffs.

Iron .
         The I Liter of wather from determination of suspended matter is evaporated to dryness. Add dilute hydrochloric acid evaporate to dryness ignite moisten with conc.  HCI stand fifteen minutes add water boil filter through iron free paper and determine by any the usual colorimetric methods.  The residue from filtration is ignited and treated in the above manner.

Microscopical Ecamination :
         Some information usually more interesting than useful can be given in Wallis Analytical Microscopy or the standard work by thorpe and others may be consulted.
FILAMENT FIBRES:
         IN This pure silk is grouped with all those artificial fibres which have as a common property a single filament formation which is structureless in comparison with the natural fibres.
TURE SILK :
           
      This is a protein fibre and may be regarded chemically as a simplification of the wool protein ,the fundamental protein is a long chain molecule in which the unit NH CH CO is repeated many times. The protein is based principally on glycine and alanine residues with some tyrosine but cystine is absent and there are no cross linkages of sulphur as in wool all the cross links are salt linkages.
      Structurlly sill is uniqe amongst natural fibres in that it dose not deem to have any surface dkin or cuticle unless indeed dilk gum itself is regarded as a kind of cuticle layer.  Silk is perhaps the least complicated both chemically and physically of the natural fibres.
     It is produced by the larva of the bombyx mori moth which extrudes the filament from twin spinnerets when making its cocoon .  The filament proper consisting of the protein fibre is coated with an alkali soluble variant of fibroin termed serecin .  In the undegummed state silk appears as twin filaments which are more or less stuck together by serecin .
      In the process of reeling the silk filament from the cocoon the outer and inner layers are discarded as waste.  These layers are characterised by irregularity in diameter and especially by irregularity in the thickness of the serecin layer.  Waste silk is also provided by pierced double or feeble cocoons and by damaged cocoons.  There are several recognised qualities of silk waste. In the working up of waste the silk is degummed and carded which tears it p into short lengths of a staple corresponding roughly with the range of wool staples the carded silk is then combed on principles not dissimilar to those used in wool combing various staple lengths or drafts being produced which are spun into yarns of a fineness corresponding to the draft. such yarns are generally known as schappe and are manufactured into pile fabrics or spun silk goods. They have their analogy in viscose staple fibre . Schappe silk is often only partly boiled off.

EFFLUENTS :

The detailed treatment of effluents is outside the scope of this book but it may be said that very few effluents from texitle works are fit to be turned into a river shilst certain types such as alkaline wool scouring liquors will not be accepted by many sewage works without prior treatment. In the normal treatment of sewage it is necessary to have a fairly neutral liquid . It is an advantage for a textile laboratory to have some understanding of the prooblem of the sewage chemist . A general reviw written from the textile laboratory point of view is given in garner industrial microscopy . The textile laboratory may be concerned in oxidising sulphide effluents or arranging that mutually reacting effluents sulphide and acid effluents do not enter the same drain or in previnting the unpleasant smell from some biological retting a drip feed of potassium permanganate into the drain . The most important problem likely to be encountered is in connection with wool sxouring effluents. Here the works is faced either with payment of a certain sum to the local corporation for the acid treatment of the effluent or with the acid treatment of the effluent in the works.

METHODS OF COLOR MEASUREMENT

COLOR MEASUREMENT:

                          It is often desirable to record the exact color of dyed material or yarn for future reference or for transmission by cable radio or letter to some distant person or for comparison with some other specimen of dyed goods, or for the purpose of making a quantitative estimation of the change in shade brought about by exposure to light or by testing for fastness to washing which cannot be made by mere visual observation.

         Of the recording methods in use some are of direct practical interest to dyers whilst other are more suited for the scientific laboratory.Of the former type are the British color council 's dictionary of standards the Ostwald color chart the love bond   Tintometer and the Toussaint colorimeter . Belonging to the second group are the Guild trichromatic colorimeter the nutting colorimeter and the Donaldson .

         All these instruments have their special uses in the recording and interpretation of color and of color changes . There is no universal methods of color measurement which can by applied to any problem and the methods to be used for the measurement of color in any particular  instance must be decided by practical considerations.
