Fastness and Printing Properties of Cotton Fabric Printed with Natural Dye from Acacia catechu Willd

Abstract:

Cotton fabric samples were printed with acacia catechu willd. using reactive-printing technique has been investigated. The effect of different factors, i.e. quantities of urea, thickening agent and Sodium bicarbonate has been studied. The printed goods were evaluated by measuring the K/S values and the overall fastness properties. The results show that the colour strength (K/S) value of recipe 3 was the best printed result, and the next good result was obtained in the order of recipe 2 and recipe 1. The colour fastness results were ranging between fair and good level.
