Application of K/S Value in Determination of Fixation Rate

Abstract:

K/S value is an important parameter of modern colorimetry, which can indicate the depth of the color of dyed fabric surface. Measurement of K/S value is easily and simple operation in the applied engineering. Take Reactive Blue B-2GLN as examples in this paper, the relationship between K/S value and the fixing rate with the reactive dyes on cotton fabric was studied. And the feasibility of K/S value instead of the traditional washing method for the determination of reactive dyes fixation rate was also studied. The results show that: the K/S value of the fabric has good linear relationship to the reactive dyes fixation rate by the washing method and the reactive dyes fixation rate can be get from the K/S correction value.
