Sulfation of Wool as a Dye-Resist Process

Abstract
Treatment of wool fabric for short periods at 3° and 21° with concentrated sulfuric acid confers on the fabric a marked resist to some acid dyes. By controlling the sulfation conditions, the accompanying loss in strength is minimized. This resist is stable to prolonged boiling in the dyebath and to acid and alkali.
