Examples
“It has been proposed to employ the dye-stuff indophenol in conjunction with indigo, in which case the method of making the vat is with zinc, bisulphite of soda, caustic soda and ammonia as last described, only in place of using all indigo a mixture of 22 lb. indigo and 7-1/2 lb.”

“When applying the indophenol reaction, the solution must be treated as follows: 3-4 drops of hypochlorite solution is added, and the solution heated for a short time; or 5-6 drops hypochlorite solution may be added, and the solution left for some time, in which case the heating may be omitted.”
“By itself indophenol has not met with much favour from dyers for a variety of reasons, but it has been found that, mixed with indigo, it can be used in dyeing with some advantage on the score of cheapness.”
