STUDY OF SOME IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF REACTIVE DYEING ON 100% COTTON FABRIC (Pages : 7 - 11)

Some important properties of reactive dyeing such as rate of exhaustion, rate of fixation, migration, levelness, and wash fastness to color are responsible to provide fault free and right first time dyeing in production. In this experiment, these important properties were studied on 100% cotton knitted fabric with five reactive dyes by exhaust method. Rate of exhaustion was evaluated by measuring optical density following Lambert- Beer’s laws and rate of fixation, migration rating were evaluated by measuring K/S values following Kubelka-Munk equation and levelness and wash fastness to color were evaluated by measuring DE CMC values and color staining to multifibre were established by Spectrophotometer (Data color, 650 TM).In this study it was found that all dyed fabrics showed medium to high exhaustion-fixation, good migration, level dyeing, good wash fastness to color. This study showed that these dyes were adequate to provide fault free and right first time dyeing in production and could reduce effluent cost.Download
