Abstract:

The effect of dyeing time has been studied on the color strength and color fastness properties of single jersey cotton knitted fabrics dyed with Novacron Red S-B reactive dye (1%) using conventional exhaust dyeing method. Same bath scouring and bleaching are done and conventional exhaust dyeing method employed by IR laboratory sample dyeing machine. Various dyeing time such as 40, 60 and 80 minutes are used and other parameters are kept fixed. The color strength (K/S) and color fastness to wash and rubbing are examined and evaluated. It is observed that the increase in dyeing time from 40 minutes to60 minutes the value of K/S increases and then up to80 minutes the value decreases.The overall color fastness properties to washing and rubbing for the dyed samples range from good to excellent.

Keywords:

Dyeing time, cotton fabrics, reactive dye, color strength, color fastness.
