The development is described of a method for the application of vat dyes by a resist technique bo fabrics containing acrylic fibres. Satisfactory resist prints were obtained on 100% Courtelle and on Courtelle‐cellulosic fibre fabrics in which the Courtelle content was 50–66%. Under the conditions used, a two‐stage padding process was found to be preferable to a single‐stage one in the production of the vat‐dye ground. Although satisfactory white resists could be obtained, it was not possible to produce coloured ones on blend fabrics. Preliminary work on the extension of the method to dyeing is described.
