Abstract
Abstract Glass fabrics are treated with a combination of a sulfur-oxygen containing acid or peroxy acid and an inorganic or organic water-soluble salt comprising a normal salt, an acid salt or a complex salt of an inorganic acid or an organic acid with a metal of Group I or Group II of the Periodic Table and/or with an ammonium group and then colored with a basic dye.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for coloring a glass fabric which comprises treating the glass fabric with a combination of one or more sulfur-oxygen containing acids or peroxy acids or a water-soluble salt thereof and one or more organic or inorganic water-soluble salts of an inorganic acid or an organic acid with a metal of Group I or Group II of the Periodic Table and/or with an ammonium group, and then dyeing the treated glass fabric with a basic dye, whereby the resultant fabric has an improved dyeing property and loop strength.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A method for coloring a glass fabric which comprises treating the glass fabric with a combination of one or more sulfur-oxygen containing acids or peroxy acids or a water-soluble salt thereof and one or more organic or inorganic water-soluble salts of an inorganic acid or an organic acid with a metal of Group I or Group II of the Periodic Table and/or with an ammonium group, and then dyeing the treated glass fabric with a basic dye, whereby the resultant fabric has an improved dyeing property and loop strength.
