AATCC Foundation Inc will sponsor a reception and dinner to celebrate the sesquicentennial of William Henry Perkin's discovery of mauveine. Perkin's discovery was an accident. He was attempting to produce artificial quinine to combat malaria. Instead, his experiment produced mauveine, the first synthetic dye.
This discovery revolutionized the worlds of fashion, industry and chemical research. The celebration reception and dinner will take place Tuesday evening, May 2, at the Radisson Hotel, where the committee meetings are being held. Participants will have the opportunity to see a traveling exhibit entitled, “The Color of Time: A History of Colors in Textiles.”
North Carolina based AATCC Research is encourage in any practical way research work on chemical processes and materials of importance to the textile industry.
