(under the class definition) Processes which include the step of (1) dyeing an article or workpiece or (2) incorporating a dye susceptible ingredient in the molding material.
(1) Note. The dye susceptible ingredient incorporated into the molding material is not in itself a colored ingredient or a dye, per se, but is capable of subsequent treatment or reaction to form a colored body, (e.g., vat or leuco dyes, mordants, etc.).
(2) Note. This subclass includes processes in which a dye susceptible material is incorporated into a spinning solution which is then spun or extruded into a coagulating bath which contains a reactant for the dye susceptible material to produce the color, even if the reactant is the only specific ingredient of the bath which is named.
