A Feasible Method Applied to One-Bath Process of Wool/Acrylic Blended Fabrics with Novel Heterocyclic Reactive Dyes and Application Properties of Dyed Textiles

Reactive dyes containing cationic groups have great potentiality as novel dyes, which can be applicable to one-bath dyeing of wool/acrylic blended fabrics. In this work, four novel heterocyclic reactive dyes containing cationic groups were designed by using m-aminophenyltrimethylammonium salt or N-(2-aminoethyl) pyridinium chloride salt as cationic groups, N, N-diethyl-1,3-benzenediamine as a coupling component, 2-amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole, 2-aminobenzothiazole or 3-amino-5-nitrobenzoisothiazole as diazo components. These dyes based on benzothiazole derivative chromophores not only showed beautiful color, including blue-green and fuchsia, but also had larger tinctorial strength with a high molar extinction coefficient, further reducing the dosage of dyes to achieve same color depth. Factors affecting the dyeability on fabrics, such as pH value, dyeing temperature and dye concentration were discussed. Excellent dyeing behavior, levelling properties and good fastness on wool/acrylic blended fabric were obtained. What’ more, excellent anti-ultraviolet and antibacterial properties were obtained for textiles with these dyes. The application of these dyes with large molar extinction coefficients presents a wide range of possibilities for the further development of cleaner production and eco-friendly dyeing, even functional textiles.

Application of chemically modified waste Allium cepa skin for one bath dyeing of polyester/wool blend fabric

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the one bath dyeing method for polyester/wool (PES/Wo) blend fabric with two different semi-synthetic azo dyes developed by chemically modifying the outer skin of Allium cepa. Design/Methodology/Approach Chemical modification is the most heartening way to impart improved properties to natural sources. Two different primary amines were coupled with the Allium cepa skin extract by a diazo coupling reaction. Synthesised dyes were characterized for their percentage yield, solubility tests, melting point, particle size analysis as well as FTIR spectroscopy and UV-Visible analysis. One bath dyeing methodology was used for application of synthesized dyes on PES/Wo blend fabric. Dyeing was performed at boil without any additional auxiliary and further percentage dye exhaustion was evaluated. Findings Dyeing yielded solid shade on PES/Wo blend fabric with satisfactory levelness in dyeing. The efficacy of synthesized dyes for dyeing of PES/Wo fabric was studied by wash, rub, light and sublimation fastness properties, which are in good agreement with commercial requirements. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized dyes shows excellent activity in dye powder form (AATCC 147 test method) as well as on dyed fabrics (AATCC 100 test method). Originality/Value Present research work is a first successful attempt to dye PES/Wo blend fabric with semi-synthetic azo dyes in single bath at boil. Such approach facilitates minimum consumption of energy, cost and time.

A novel functional disperse dye doped with graphene oxide for improving antistatic properties of polyester fabric using one-bath dyeing method

A novel functional disperse dye doped with graphene oxide for antistatic properties of polyester fabric was achieved, which means that the dyeing and antistatic finishing can be simultaneously obtained by a one-bath method. Functional dyes were used to dye polyester fabric by a high-temperature, high-pressure dyeing method. The surface microscopic morphology of the dyed polyester fabric, and the dispersion properties of the disperse dye, graphene oxide, and the functional disperse dye, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of the dyeing temperature on the particle sizes of three dyeing liquors were explored; this revealed that the temperature of the dyeing process had no effect on particle size. The dosage and reduction time of graphene oxide were investigated. The surface electrical resistance of the dyed fabric, 9.8 × 106 Ω, obtained at a condition of 2% (o.m.f) graphene oxide with a reduction time of 30 min, achieved A-grade antistatic standard. Furthermore, the rubbing and washing fastness of the treated fabric were 4- and 4 ∼ 5 grades, respectively. This preparation of the functional disperse dye provides a possibility in one-bath dyeing and antistatic finishing of polyester fabric.

One-Bath Dyeing Technology for Cotton Blended Fabric - Part 1: Elaboration of a Dyebath Content

The present study deals with the one-step one-bath dyeing of twill weaved 50/50 cotton/polyester blended fabric using disperse dyes only. The study includes dyeing recipe development, considering the determination of optimum concentrations of dyestuff and auxiliaries, and sufficient pH of dyebath. The proposed method is time consuming and hence can be recommended for industrial testing.

One-Bath Dyeing Technology for Cotton Blended Fabric - Part 2: Assessment of Colouration Effectiveness

The present study deals with the one-step one-bath dyeing of with/without alkaline treatment of twill weaved 50/50 cotton/polyester blended fabric using disperse dyes only. The dyeing results are studied by colorimetric colour measurements, applying instrumental approach, and colour change during fastness tests. Several testing methods are designed and adapted to the disposable technical and material base. The results are found to be promising as an alternative dyeing technology and for effective product quality assessment.

Part 1

Purpose In recent times, wool- and silk-blended fabrics are popular for creating glamourous products. Silk is blended to wool for creating more lustrous effect and to impart strength; on the other hand, wool is responsible for resilience, softness and warmth properties. Chemically both the fibres are protein-based, but the amount of amino acids is different. Due to this, the dye absorption behaviours of the two fibres from the same dye-bath are different. Wool is become darker than the silk fibre, if both the fibres are dyed together in a single bath dyeing process. Design/methodology/approach Here the wool fibres are first pre-treated with a commercial synthetic tanning agent (syntan) Mesitol HWS at three different pH values of 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2 and at three different concentrations: 5, 10 and 15 per cent. Then the syntan pre-treated wool fibres are dyed together with silk fibres maintaining the blend ratio as 80:20 by Telon Red MR, Telon Yellow M4GL and Telon Blue MRLW with sodium sulphate at three different concentrations of 10, 20 and 30 per cent. Findings The dye absorbency of the syntan-treated wool fibres decreased with increase in syntan concentration, whereas the colour strength of silk fibres increased. The resist effectiveness of wool fibres is increased from 6 to 59 per cent with increase of syntan concentration. So after the dyeing process, the colour strength of syntan-treated wool fibres are almost same with the colour strength of silk fibres. The washing fastness of the samples is improved, and wash fastness behaviour of both wool and silk fibres is almost same. Originality/value This paper gives an idea about the one bath dyeing process of wool- and silk-blended fabrics to achieve solid dyeing effect.

Application of Sulphatoethylsulphone Reactive-Disperse Dye on PLA and Cotton Fabrics

The current research investigated the dyeing properties on cotton and PLA fabrics of the sulphatoethylsulphone reactive-disperse dye synthesized from coupling reaction between aminophenyl-4-(β-sulphatoethylsulphone) diazonium salt and N,N-diethyl-m-toluidine, a preliminary study aiming to develop the dye for one-bath dyeing for PLA/cotton blended fabric. From the study, the optimum dyeing condition of the synthesized dye on PLA fabric was at pH 6 and 110°C. The synthesized dye performed very well on PLA rather than cotton. The dyed PLA fabric also displayed excellent color fastnesses to washing and crocking. A study on cotton dyeing gave the information that the dyeing ability of the dye was enhanced by increasing dyeing temperature and the amounts of added salt and alkali. The dyed cotton fabric exhibited a moderate to good color fastnesses to washing and crocking. A nearly similar shade obtained on PLA and cotton encourages a dyeing process development for PLA/cotton blended fabric.

Study on One-Bath Dyeing Technology and its Application for Disperse/Reactive Dyes on Polyester/Viscose Blended Fabrics

In order to shorten dyeing process, increase yield and reduce consumption of water and alkaline, the one-bath two-stage heating dyeing process was used for reactive/disperse dyes. The key technology of this research was adding alkaline when polyester/viscose (cotton) blended fabrics were dyed by reactive dyes,and then adding acetic acid when dyed by disperse dyes. During this process, acetic acid and alkali neutralize, and sodium acetate and acetic acid form a buffer system, which greatly improves dyeing reproducibility. The results of factory trial showed that color strength and color fastness of polyester/viscose (cotton) blended fabrics dyed by this process were as same as those achieved by the traditional process.

Dyeing of Polyester/Cotton Blends with Encapsulated Disperse/Reactive Dyes for a One-Bath Auxiliary-Free Process

Research onthe one-bath dyeing process of encapsulated disperse dyes and reactive dyes on polyester/cotton blends showed that through the suitable modification before dyeing, polyester/cotton blends could be dyed with encapsulated disperse/reactive dyes in an auxiliary-free, one-bath method. The dyed goods attained excellent levelness and fastness. The residual dye in the final baths were very low. Thus, cleaner dyeing production and environment protection can be realized.
