In the case of drycleaning, the aqueous medium is replaced by a nonaqueous medium (such as tetrachloroethylene). Tetrachloroethylene can dissolve grease from materials that should not be treated by water. Since there is also polar dirt (such as sugars, minerals, etc.), a small amount of water needs to be added. This leads to the... 

For this portion of the study, specimens cut from the unused fabric were subjected to separate tests, following methods specified by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (A.A.T.C.C.), to determine its reaction to washing, drycleaning, light, perspiration, and crocking, as well as the fabric s tendency to transfer color to other fibers in solutions. 

Colorfastness to Drycleaning. One fabric sample was drycleaned using perchloroethylene, following procedure specified by A.A.T.C.C. Test 132-1976. Specimen was enclosed in a 8.8-cm square cotton bag and submitted to treatment. 

The first part of this study describes a series of experiments designed to answer some of the questions on how aqueous and nonaqueous treatments alter the morphology and chemical composition of fibers taken from a Tiahuanaco tapestry. The second part of this study focuses on the colorfastness to dry cleaning of naturally colored wool fabrics. This second study was undertaken because no information on the colorfastness of these types of colorants to dry cleaning could be found in the literature. A recently published paper (3) on drycleaning of historic textiles indicates that conservators are using this nonaqueous type of cleaning as a method of textile conservation. 

Is a semi-durable solvent phase water repellent material designed for use in a complete solvent system. This product is frequently useful in drycleaning establishments for the reprocessing of outerwear garments to produce water repellency. 

This metallic print binder is designed solely for screen printing, and is supplied at a particularly high viscosity which is required in particular operations. The fastness of these prints is exceptionally good to drycleaning and laundering the prints show excellent brightness. 

A non-raetallic, all aqueous printing compound that yields a lustrous metallic appearing print. These prints are soft and show good durability to laundering and drycleaning. Tints are possible by adding concentrated colors. 

An acrylic based binder designed to provide a soft hand, good durability to laundering and drycleaning and useful in printing and pigment pad dyeing. 

This material is a liquid flameproofing agent containing more than 60% solids offering good flameproof protection. This product is durable to drycleaning, non-durable to laundering. 

Durability to Drycleaning Fair Does not form a film at room temperature. Particularly suited as a fabric delusterant. 

Durability to Washing Excellent Durability to Drycleaning Excellent Fabric finishing. Saturating papermaking felts. 

Durability to Washing Excellent Durability to Drycleaning Fair Forms very soft films. Recommended for fabric finishing, especially to improve the abrasion resistance of durable-press fabrics and for pigment dyeing. 

Durability to Washing Excellent Durability to Drycleaning Good Forms a soft film with excellent low-temperature flexibility. Recommended as a flocking adhesive. Excellent resilience with good solvent resistance.
