Abstract
To find the most desirable stripping agent for silk-Remazol system, various stripping agents were examined in the relation to the following points:
1) Complete extraction of non-valently bonded dyes, 2) no degradation of silk, 3) no effect on dye-fiber bonds, 4) no reaction with the active dyes.
It was found that the stripping agent consisting of 50% urea plus 1% Dispersol VL is most suitable, because it has a very strong extractive power and also is suitable in cost and in handling.
