Investigation on Dyeing Performances of the Modified Cotton Fabric with Quaternary Ammonium Salt as Modifier

Abstract:

In this paper the different kind of quaternary ammonium salt was applied to modify the cotton fabric and then the modified cotton fabric was dyed under low salt condition. The effect of modifier structure, modifier concentration, modification time and temperature on the dyeing performances of the modified cotton fabric was investigated. The results indicated that the optimal modification condition was that the modifier was Octadecyl dimethyl hydroxyethyl quaternary ammonium nitrate, modifier concentration was 40 g/L, modification time was 40 min, modification temperature was 60 °C and the salt concentration was 25% of the conventional dosage. The K/S value, soaping fastness and breaking strength of the modified cotton fabric under low salt condition was the same level as the conventional dyeing process.
