Pre-treatment & Dyeing process flow chart?

Pre-treatment flow chart of Dyeing

Most textile materials and fabrics require pre treatments before they can be dyed. We use NaOH to remove wax, oil, fats and natural impurities from fabric, this process is called scouring which increase fabric absorbency. We use H2O2 to increase the fabric whiteness, this process is called bleaching. Because fabrics which have been prepared for dyeing must have sufficient absorbency and whiteness.

Characteristics & Properties of reactive dye?

Characteristics of reactive group of reactive dye:

• The characteristics of reactive group of dye are mentioned below:
• Reactive groups do not contribute to the color of dye. Chromogen group imparts it.
• The reactivity of vinyl sulphone group is less than that of halogen group.
• If no of reactive group increases, binding also increases depending on dye structure.
• Reactive dye absorb up to 90%.
• Molecular weight of reactive group 69-211gm/ mole.
• Bond energy of halogen groups are as below:

F (Fluorine)- 102-kcal/ gm

Cl (chlorine) – 74-kcal/ gm
