Prediction of low-sensitivity reactive dye recipe in exhaust dyeing influenced by material to liquor ratio and nature of salt

الملخص EN

Reactive dyeings were carried out by exhaust method on 100% cotton knits.

A trichromatic combination was chosen with only change in blue component.

Colorimetric data were produced under controlled dyeing conditions by comparing the color difference between the target shade and resulting shades.

Giving a change in liquor ratio and nature of salt the colorimetric data were regenerated again produced the shades.

The data will be helpful to predict the low-sensitivity reactive dye recipe, which lead to the concept of right-first-time dyeing.

The aim of this research is to help a dyer to select the right recipe.

A set of the dye recipes was applied by dyeing with reactive dyes on cotton.

Sodium chloride shows best results in terms of dye sensitivity as compared to Glauber’s salt at low liquor ratio that is 1:10.

Blue BRF in combination with yellow and red shows best result as compared to navy blue BF.
