Different types of Dyeing process


Basic dyes are ionic in nature. They ionize into coloured contains and colorless anions. First of all, Perkin invented this colour. The first member of this class according to his name was Perkin’s mauve. In these dyes the coloured portion (Present in the cotton) is derived from free or substituted amino group such as –NH2, –N(CH3)2, –N(C2H5)2 etc. These dyes are generally in soluble in water or sparingly soluble in water. The dye base becomes soluble in water when they from hydrochlorides, oxalates, acetates, sulphates etc. Since basic dyes are not easily soluble in water, the best way to dissolve them into paste with water, an equal weight of acetic acid (40%) and then pouring boiling water with constant stirring. If boiling water is directly poured over the dye powder, it forms a tarry mass. Pasting of the dye powders may be done with methylated spirit, in which they are suitable. The dye solution thus prepared should be filtered before adding to the dye bath.
 Application of Basic Dye on Jute
Amongst all the vegetable fibres, jute fibre has direct affinity for basic dyes. Since the jute fibres have lignocellulose and uric acid, they need not mordanting during dyeing with basic dyes but a small amount acetic acid is added in the dye bath so that the dye completely dissolves and penetrate within the fibre and removes the alkalinity of water. Acid dyes nearly all sodium salts of organic acid. Most of the acid dyes are sulphonic acid salts, but there are a few containing carboxylic acid groups. The anion is the active coloured component. The acid dyes have a direct affinity towards protein fibres and are used in wool and silk and polyamide dyeing. Most of them will not exhaust on cellulosic fibres. Since they resemble the direct dyes a few of them dye cellulose quite well.
Application of Basic Dye on wool
Wool is composed of millions of keratin macro molecules arranged in crystalline and amorphous regions, wool molecule is represent shortly as follows:      H2N – W – COOH (Wool) Each macro molecule has a carboxyl group (–COOH) at one end and an amino group (–NH2) at the other end. Under certain conditions, the hydrogen ion attached to the carboxylic ion is transferred to the amino group at the other end of the macro molecule so that, the two ends of the keratin molecular chain acquire opposite
The dye bath is fully prepared according to the above recipe. The scoured woolen material is washed and dipped into the dye bath. Temperature is slowly raised to boil within 30 minutes. First of all the dye stuff is pasted with cold water then H2SO4 is added slowly so that, the dyestuff completely dissolves. Then the volume of dye bath is increased by adding 20 times water. After 30 minutes of dyeing material is taken out from the dye bath and salt is added and stirred so that, the mixing is thorough. Then the material is again put into the dye bath and dyeing continued so that, the total time is 1 hour. The material is rinsed & dyeing is neutralized with addition of 1% NH3 solution and after treated with 1% soap solution for 10 – 15 minutes.
Application of Basic Dye on Silk
Soap solution is prepared by taking 75cc water and 25g soap which makes 25% soap solution. The silk is weighed and 30 times water on the weight of the dye is added into the dye bath & then acetic acid is mixed with the dye thoroughly with constant stirring and the temperature of the dye bath is raised slowly to 400C. then the silk material is entered into the dye bath and agitated until the dye is completely absorbed. The dyed material is then taken out from the dye bath, washed well and dried.
Application of Basic Dye on Nylon
The dyestuff pasted with T.R. oil and then hot (Boil) water is added to dissolve the dye completely so that a homogeneous solution is formed.30 times water is taken in another bath to which above prepared dye solution is added after brilliant and then ammonium acetate is also added. The material (Nylon) is immersed in the dye bath and temperature is slowly raised to 900C and dyeing continued for 45-60 minutes is then washed and dried. The dyed washed material may be after treated with 2-3% soap solution.

macro-structure of cotton fiber | Under a microscope cotton

Under a microscope a cotton fiber appears as a very fine, regular fiber, looking like a twisted ribbon or a collapsed and twisted tube. These twists are called convolutions there are about sixty convolutions per centimeter. The convolutions give cotton an uneven fiber surface, which increases inter-fiber friction and enables fine cotton, yearns of squatted strength to be spun. The appearance of the cotton fiber’s cross sections is referred as being kidney-shaped. The micro structure of cotton The cotton fiber is a single plant cell. Its cross-section is oval, compared with the normal hexagonal plant cell. Cotton has a district cuticle, well developed primary and secondary walls and a lumen. Layer 1 the cuticle is a waxy protective layer that provides water resistance to the fibers as they are growing. This lawyer is removed by scouring during processing before spinning.

Importance of twisted structure of textile fiber

Trelor in his Mather lecture, titled “Twisted Structures” adequately recognizes the role of twist in yarns and the part it plays in the design of textile structures .He discusses the obvious necessity of twist in the natural and staple fibers by pointing out “ Twist is essential to provide a certain minimum coherence between fibers, without a yarn having a significant tensile strength cannot be made. This coherence is dependent on the frictional forces brought into play by the lateral pressures between fibers arising from the application of a tensile stress along the yarn axis. With the introduction of continuous filament yarns, however, the role of twist must be reconsidered. In continuous filament yarns, twist is not necessary for the attainment of tensile strength (in fact, it reduces it) but it is necessary for the achievement of satisfactory resistance to abrasion, fatigue, or other types of damage associated with stresses other than a simple tensile stress, and typified ...

Types of Yarn twist | different types of yarn twist | S twist | Z twist

Types of Yarn twist different types of yarn twist S twist Z twist“S” TWIST: A single yarn has “S” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction , the fibers inclined to the conform in direction of slope of the contact portion of the letter “S”. axis of the yarn “Z” TWIST. A single has “Z” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction, the fibers inclined to the yarn axis conform in the direction of the slope to the central portion of the letter “Z”. DIRECTION OF TWIST: In the designation of yarns, it is essential to specify the direction of twist. Besides its importance in simplifying the trade, it is of great technical importance in designing fabrics. For example, in a twill fabric, the direction of twist in the yarn is of particular importance in determining the predominance of twill effect. For a   right-handed twill, the best contrasting effect will be obtained when a yarn with Z twist is used; on the other-hand a left-handed twist will produce a fabric ha...
