Jet dyeing is a process that can be used for batch dyeing operations such as dyeing, bleaching, washing and rinsing. In this process, dyeing is accomplished in a closed tubular system, basically composed of an impeller pump and a shallow dye bath. The fabric to be dyed is loosely collapsed in a form of a rope, and tied into a loop. The impeller pump supplies a jet of dye solution, propelled by water and/or air, to force the fabric to move through the tube into the shallow bath. Turbulence created by the jet aids in dye penetration and prevents the fabric from touching the walls of the tube, thus minimizing mechanical impact on the fabric. 1, record 5, English, - jet%20dyeing

Le chinage de pièces par teinture est un procédé de teinture en pièces des tissus, des articles finis tels que les vêtements. Les pièces à teindre sont pliées et munies de ligatures ou d'attaches assez nombreuses. Lors de l'immersion des pièces dans le bac de teinture, la matière colorante recouvre les parties libres; les parties attachées sont à peine (ou pas du tout) teintes. On défait ensuite les nœuds et les chinés diversement nuancés apparaissent sur la pièce. Les parties restées libres dans le bain de teinture sont complètement teintes, donc foncées; et les autres qui étaient préservées sont claires ou ont gardé leur nuance première. Le dégradé existant entre ces deux extrêmes (foncé et clair) produit le chinage. 2, record 8, French, - chinage%20par%20teinture
