Description
D06P covers processes and equipment for applying color to textiles, leather, furs, and solid macromolecular materials through dyeing or printing methods. This subclass encompasses various dyeing techniques (piece dyeing, yarn dyeing, printing), dye application systems, and related chemical treatments that impart color or patterns to fibrous and polymeric substrates. It includes apparatus for color fixation, dye bath circulation, temperature control, and printing machinery such as screen, roller, and digital printers. Adjacent classes address textile finishing operations (D06B-D06N) and washing/laundering processes (D06L), while this subclass focuses specifically on chromatic treatment across multiple material categories.
