Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A process for permanently bulking and stabilizing as well as developing the silk-like handle of linear polycarbonamide fibers consisting essentially of sequential steps of: (1) treating linear polycarbonamide fibers, wherein 90% of the repeating unit in said fibers have the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, with a solution or emulsion of an alcohol; (2) washing the fibers in hot water; (3) washing the fibers in cold water; (4) drying the washed fibers; and thereafter (5) dyeing the thus-bulked and stabilized fibers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process for permanently bulking and stabilizing as well as developing the silk-like handle of linear polycarbonamide fibers consisting essentially of sequential steps of: (1) treating linear polycarbonamide fibers, wherein 90% of the repeating unit in said fibers have the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, with a solution or emulsion of an alcohol; (2) washing the fibers in hot water; (3) washing the fibers in cold water; (4) drying the washed fibers; and thereafter (5) dyeing the thus-bulked and stabilized fibers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said solution or dispersion contains 1-100% by weight of said alcohol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said alcohol is selected from the group consisting of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said fibers are treated with said solution or emulsion for a period of about 1 to about 10 minutes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said solution or emulsion of an alcohol is kept at a temperature of from about 20° to about 25° C.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said fibers are washed in hot water at a temperature of from 40° to 100° C. and thereafter cool water at a temperature of from 10° to 20° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
69 words
A process for permanently bulking and stabilizing as well as developing the silk-like handle of linear polycarbonamide fibers which comprises treating linear polycrabonamide fibers wherein 90% of the repeating unit in said fibers have the formula: ##STR5## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl with a solution or emulsion of an alcohol, said solution or emulsion being substantially devoid of dyestuff, thereafter washing in hot and cold water and drying.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
69 words
