Effect of Laundering Temperature on the Color of Brown Naturally Colored Cotton

Article Preview

Abstract:

The color performance properties of brown naturally color cotton fabric was investigated in the elevated temperature home laundering, usually the Europe style laundering. The first laundering cycle would give naturally color cotton(NCC) fabric the most of color changes. The laundering did render NCC fabric darkening effect, and significant and proceeding color changes. The higher laundering temperature resulted in more color changes of the fabric. At least 0.5 class gray scale rating was increased for about per 30°C laundering temperature increase. The data reported here indicated that lower temperture home laundering benefit the color retentation and the care of the NCC fabric.
