Nutton in the chair The implications for the textile industry of modern ideas on automation are discussed from the colourist's viewpoint. Particular emphasis is placed on factors involved in the automation of the pad(alkali)–batch(cold) process for the continuous application of reactive dyes to cellulosic–fibre fabrics. The highly reactive Procion M (ICI) dyes are particularly suitable for use in mechanised systems because of the simplicity of the dyeing technique and the good fastness and brightness of the resulting dyeings.
