Studies on the Effect of Mordants on Dyeing Behaviour of Bamboo Fibres using Natural Dyes

In this paper, dyeing of bamboo fibres using two natural dyes derived from Turmeric (rhizomes of Curcuma longa) and Tea (Camellia sinensis) have been investigated. The dyeing process was carried out on premordanted bamboo fibres (retted, scoured and bleached), using pre-extracted dye stock employing...

Summary:In this paper, dyeing of bamboo fibres using two natural dyes derived from Turmeric (rhizomes of Curcuma longa) and Tea (Camellia sinensis) have been investigated. The dyeing process was carried out on premordanted bamboo fibres (retted, scoured and bleached), using pre-extracted dye stock employing 100% water as extraction medium. The effect of mordants on the dyeing outcome in terms of shade output as well as fastness properties of the dyeing has been rationalized. The results of fastness properties of the dyed fibres were fair to good. The exhaustion profile of dyeing with respect to time was examined by taking out samples at different intervals of time.
