Microwaves are high‐frequency radiation capable of producing very rapid, uniform and efficient heating of suitable materials. In particular, they can be used for the rapid heating and fixation of pad‐dyeings on textiles. The feasibility of applying certain reactive dyes to wool in fixation times of 30–60 s has been demonstrated. Factors influencing the rates of fixation of the dyes have been investigated in some detail.
