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.

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.

A Study of Absorption Properties Improvement of Cotton Blended Fabric

Successful results of textile materials finishing process in order to gain desired properties to the fabric according to customers’ demands mainly depend on properly-carried pre-treatment stages. The present study covers twill weave cotton/polyester fabric’s modification in alkaline medium at different temperatures and treatment durations through exhaustion (hot and cold treatment) and pad-steam process. An influence of the reduction agent addition was ascertained. Weight loss, water absorbency, vertical wicking, dye uptake, colour measurements, surface morphology and psysicomechanical characteristics were determined. Samples and recommendations of optimal alkaline treatment technologies are developed.
