Dyeing Studies of Cotton Towel Product with Natural Dyes and Effect of Cationization on Colour Characteristics

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research was concerned with dye extraction from lac, purple corn cob, golden shower tree seed pods, garcinia dulcis bark and dried mangosteen leaves and application on cotton towel product dyeing by the use of exhaustion process. Cotton towel was pretreated using cationizing agent (Sarcat PD) before dyeing. Cotton towel dyed in the solution extracting from lac showed pink shade. The sample dyed with purple corn cob and golden shower tree seed pods resulted in violetish-brown and dark brown shades, respectively. With garcinia dulcis bark and dried mangosteen leaves the colour was yellow and brownish orange. The results showed that the dyes K/S values of the treated cotton towel were improved compared with those of the un-treated one.
