Abstract :

A study was conducted to standardize the dyeing variables of hot reactive dye for tie and dye technique. The optimum wave length was 520 nm, out of a set of wave length ranging from 400–700 nm on the basis of highest optical density. Eight dye concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 %) were tried and two dye concentrations were selected on the basis of dye absorption and colour fastness properties. 4 percent dye concentration gave maximum percent dye absorption and 2 percent dye concentration showed excellent fastness to wash and light. Five different dyeing temperatures (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100ºC) were tried and 80ºC was found best for 2 and 4 percent dye concentration respectively. Five different dyeing times (80, 90, 100, 110, 120 minutes) were tried and 90 minutes was found to be the best for both 2 and 4 percent dye concentration. Dyeing was carried out at seven different pH values (9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5 and 12.0), the maximum dye absorption was observed at 10.5 percent for both the dye concentration. 60g/l sodium sulphate was found best for 2% dye concentration and 70g/l was found best for 4% dye concentration. Similarly 15g/l of sodium carbonate was found best for 2% dye concentration and 20g/l was found best for 4% dye concentration in two instalments of both the auxiliaries.
