Dyeing of Cotton Fabric with Eco-Friendly Natural Dyes Using Single Mordants: Comparison of Fastness Properties and Colour Strength
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Bleached cotton fabric was dyed with natural dyes obtained from the stem of Achrassapota and flower of Spathodeacampanulata. The colour fastness properties and colour strength of dyed cotton fabric were determined and compared. From the comparative study of fastness properties and colour strength of the dyed cotton samples, Spathodeacampanulata in simultaneous mordanting method with 3% mordant combination gives better results as compared to the natural dye obtained from stem of Achrassapota.
