Principles of an approach for coloring military camouflage

Abstract

Optimum technology for dyeing serge with water-soluble sulfur dyes by the continuous pad-steam method was developed. It was shown that the colors for the background obtained in dyeing with Thiosol Olive and Diresul Olive-green satisfy camouflage requirements only in the daytime. Optimum technology for dyeing serge with Active Olive Special by continuous pad-steam and pad-thermofixation methods was developed. The background colors obtained in dyeing with Active Olive Special ensures camouflage both in the visible and in the IR region of the spectrum.
