Process for the continuous wet treatment of textile material in the form of endless ropes under high temperature conditions, which comprises conducting the material at open width into a sealed-off pressure container, impregnating it therein with an HT bath and transporting it forward in a stream of the liquid that runs off, pulling it together to form a rope and having this rope further penetrated by the circulated impregnation bath during its passage through a heavily flooded reactor installed in the pressure container, then withdrawing it therefrom through at least two pressure locks positioned one behind the other under graduated pressure into a dwelling chamber placed under atmospheric pressure and exposing it therein, in stored condition, to the action of a vapor atmosphere or to the flooding with optionally another treatment liquor at most at boiling temperature or less.
