System and methods that enables fabric to be metalized and dyed to reach final colors that were previously unobtainable. The systems and methods relate to processes for controlling the color of metalized fabrics. Specifically, for some embodiments, the systems and methods relate to methods of making metalized fabrics that are lighter in color than prior metalized fabrics. Such fabrics may be printed on or dyed using lighter colors than would be possible when using prior metalized fabrics. The systems and methods herein may include dye baths and wash baths that are hotter than prior art processes.

Methods for controlling color during a metallization process and resulting products

A metalized fabric and method for metallization of fabric. The fabric is formed using two threads with different affinities for metallization, but which threads are not metalized prior to forming into the fabric. The threads will typically be woven using an unbalanced weave to provide one side of the fabric with a resultant greater amount of metallization than the other but this is not required. Once the resultant fabric is metalized, it will typically be more suitable for consistent color dying than fabric which was formed from both metalized and unmetallized threads.

2-benzyloxy-4-nitro-5-substituted-acylanilide compounds and method of using them

Photographic pyrazolotriazole dye forming coupler compound or coupler intermediate compounds can be readily prepared by inducing an elimination-addition reaction between certain pyrazolotriazole compounds and aromatic amines in the presence of an inorganic base or formate. Yields and purity are high, and reaction time is reduced with the specific set of conditions and reactants, and environmental impact from waste is reduced. The resulting compounds can be used themselves as photographic dye forming couplers or further reacted to prepare useful coupler compounds for photographic use.
