The Janus colours are a series of dyes of a basic nature which can be applied somewhat differently to the ordinary basic dyes, although the ordinary method can be followed. With these Janus dyes a two-bath process is followed. A dye-bath is prepared containing the dye-stuff, sulphuric acid and common salt, and this is used at the boil from half to three-quarters of an hour, and the goods are allowed to remain in another three-quarters of an hour while the bath cools down. Next the dyed goods are run in a fixing bath of sulphuric acid, tannic acid and tartar emetic, this is used at the boil from half to one hour, after which the dyed goods are taken out and washed. If necessary the goods may be now topped with basic colours in order to produce any desired shade. The following recipes will show how the Janus dyes may be used:—
Blue.—Dye with 9 oz. sulphuric acid, 8 oz. Janus blue G, and 5 lb. common salt; fix with ¾ lb. sulphuric acid, 8 oz. tannic acid and 4 oz. tartar emetic.
Turquoise Blue.—Dye with 9 oz. sulphuric acid, 1 lb. Janus green B and 10 lb. salt, fixing with ¾ lb. sulphuric acid, 1 lb. tannin and ½ lb. tartar emetic.
