A new approach to the dyeing of silk with sulphatoethylsulphone dyes, based on ß‐elimination before dyeing, has been investigated. Some factors affecting both (β‐elimination and dyeing have been studied. The improved dyeing process shows a high degree of dyebath exhaustion and excellent fixation in the absence of salt, thus reducing the risk of environmental pollution from salt and dyes.
