New Textile Dying Process; Radio Active Source Materials
NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (Rec. 6 pm). —A new textile-dying finishing process has been developed through what is believed to be the first successful use of radio-active source materials in industrial production, the New York "Herald" said today. It added that the process promised to revolutionise the handling of all types of textile fabrics. The process has been developed by a company working under licence from the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Through the use of a new compound manufactured from radio-ac-tive source materials, a method has been developed which permitted the use ot photo-chemistry for the first time in the dying and finishing of all types of textiles. The method was applied through a radically different type of equipment which not only required far less space and less manpower than normal finishing plants but, in a single operation, dyed, finished and dried the fabric, at high speed.
