Polyester fibers were treated with the vapours of various organic solvents under the presence of sodium carbonate. It was found that most of glycols caused the decomposition of the fiber surface and improvements in the dyeability. The most effective was the treatment in the vapour of ethylene glycol which resulted in cracks on the surface of the fibers and a remarkable increase of the dyeability towards acid and direct dyes.
