Described herein are compositions useful for infusing color into nonwoven polyester containing product and methods to do so. Such compositions and methods comprise use of a color infusion composition comprising an antimigrant polymer; pigment; ammonium polyphosphate; and an anionic surfactant comprising phosphate. In certain embodiments, thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 93.0° C. or less is used to enhance color infusion.

The apparatus is a storage and transport rack for deformable rolled goods. One or more shelves each support a single layer of rolls. The shelves have an open input side for loading, a padded backstop opposite the input side, and unobstructed ends for unloading individual rolls with a ram pole lift truck. The upper surface of the shelves is tilted relative to the horizontal with the input side higher, so that the rolls move to the padded backstop, and a sloped ramp at the input side of the shelves starts the rolls down the shelf and assures that the rolls will not roll off the input side. For transport, the rolls are anchored by the use of straps tightened between 'D' rings attached at the backstop side of the shelves and 'D' rings on plugs inserted into the hollow cores of the rolls.
