Dyeing Studies with Eucalyptus, Quercetin, Rutin, and Tannin : A Research on Effect of Ferrous Sulfate Mordant

الملخص EN

Natural dyes from Eucalyptus leaf extract, quercetin, rutin, and tannin were applied to silk fabric by pad-batch and pad-dry techniques under different conditions.

Ferrous sulfate was used as a mordant.

The dyeing properties were evaluated by measuring K/S and CIELAB values.

In addition, the different fastness properties were evaluated.

The effect of dyes at different concentration levels with respect to their colour strength was also studied.
