In the vulcanization of an unvulcanized rubber sheet pasted with a piece of a dyed cloth (cotton), the degree of the migration of the dye on the cloth into the rubber sheet was examined.
Of the various dyes examined, some of the azoic, basic and vat dyes were found to migrate, but the sulphur, reactive and direct dyes were not found to migrate.
The effects of the vulcanization time and the concentration of a dye on a cloth on the migration of the dye into a rubber sheet were examined using New Methylene Blue NX (basic). As a result, the migration was found to occur in a short vulcanization time and the degree of the migration was found to change little even in a prolonged vulcanization time. Further, when a vulcanization time was kept constant, the degree of the migration increased with an increasing concentration of the dye on a cloth.
