DYEING: DEFINITIONS

DYEING

• UNIFORM COLOURATION OF TEXTILE MATERIAL IN FIBRE, YARN OR FABRIC FORM.

• THE COLOUR PRODUCED SHOULD WITHSTAND EXTERNAL AGENCIES SUCH AS WASHING, LIGHT, RUBBING etc TO WHICH TEXTILE MATERIAL IS SUBJECTED DURING USE.

• THE COLOURATION SHOULD NOT RESTRICT ONLY TO THE FIBRE SURFACE BUT SHOULD PENETRATE THE FIBRE CROSS SECTION.

• THE SURFACE COLOURATION IS KNOWN AS RING DYEING.

DYEING: DEFINITIONSPAINTING

• APPLICATION OF COLOUR TO ANY SURFACE WITH THE HELP OF SUITABLE ADHESIVE. IT IS BASICALLY SURFACE COLOURATION. HAS FASTNESS PROPERTY TO SOME EXTERNAL AGENCIES DEPENDING ADHESIVE FORCES BETWEEN (FIBRE) SURFACE AND COLOURING COMPOUND.TINTING

• SURFACE COLURATION. NO FASTNESS PROPERTY TO EXTERNAL AGENCIES. THE PROCESS IS USED FOR FIBRE IDENTIFICATION OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES DURING SPINNINGPRINTING

• LOCALIZED COLOURATION IN THE FORM OF DESIGN. DYE PENETRATION IN THE FIBRE CROSS SECTION

DYES AND PIGMENTS

DYES• COLOUR COMPOUND• SOLUBLE IN WATER OR CAN BE MADE SOLUBLE IN

WATER• POSSESSES AFFINITY TO FIBRE TO BE DYED• PENETRATION OF DYE IN FIBRE CROSS-SECTION

UNDER DYEING CONDITIONS• INTERACT WITH FIBRE WITH SUITBLE DYE-FIBRE

INTERACTIVE FORCES DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF FIBRE AND NATURE OF DYE

• NATURE OF DYE-FIBRE INTERACTION DETERMINES THE FASTNESS PROPERTY OF DYE TO EXTERNAL AGENCIES. THERE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

DYES AND PIGMENTS

TINTING COLOURS• DYES HAVING NO AFFINITY TO FIBRE.

• EASILY REMOVED DURING WASHING

PIGMENTS• COLOURING COMPOUND

• INSOLUBLE IN WATER

• NO AFFINITY TO FIBRE

• NO INTERACTION WITH FIBRE

AFFINITY OR SUBSTANTIVITY

• ATTRACTION BETWEEN DYE AND FIBRE UNDER GIVEN DYEING CONDITIONS.

• ABILITY OF DYE TO MOVE FROM SOLUTION PHASE TO FIBRE PHASE DURING THE DYEING OPERATION

• THIS MEANS REDUCTION IN DYE CONCENTRATION

IN SOLUTION PHASE AND CORRESPONDING

INCREASE OF DYE CONCENTRATION IN FIBRE

PHASE WITH DYEING TIME.

• DYES HAVE AFFINITY TO FIBRE

• PIGMENT AND TINTING COLOURS HAVE NO

AFFINITY TOWARDS FIBRE.

THEORETICAL CONCEPT

DYEING PROCESS• FIBRE DYE BATH: DYE, WATER, DYEING

AUXILIARY• INTRODUCTION OF FIBRE IN DYE BATH• DYEING UNDER SUITABLE CONDITIONS FOR

SUITABLE LENGTH OF TIME• ZERO TIME ALL DYE IN DYE BATH• WITH PASSAGE OF TIME INCREASE IN DYE

CONCENTRATION ON FIBRE• CORRESPONDING DECREASE IN DYE

CONCENTRTION IN DYE BATH• THIS PHENOMENON IS KNOWN AS DYE

EXHAUSTION AND OCCURS DUE TO AFFINITY OF DYE FOR FIBRE

DYEING MECHANISM• DIVISION OF DYE SYSTEM IN THREE PHASES

• DYE IN SOLUTION

• FIBRE SURFACE

• INTERIOR OF FIBRE

• DURING DYEING THREE TYPES OF EQUILIBRIA EXIST

• DYE IN SOLUTION DYE ON FIBRE SURFACE DYE IN THE INTERIOR OF FIBRE

• FIRST EQUILIBRIA TRANSFER OF DYE FROM SOLUTION TO FIBRE SURFACE

• SECOND EQUILIBRIA PENETRATION OF DYE FROM FIBRE SURFACE TO FIBRE INTERIOR

• DISTURBANCE IN FIRST EQUILIBRIA

• PROCESS CONTINUE TILL THREE PHASES ARE IN EQUILIBRIUM

FORCE OF ATTRACTION AND WASH FASTNESS

• DYED FIBRE MUST MEET CERTAIN FASTNESS REQUIREMENT TO VARIOUS AGENCIES LIKE WASHING, LIGHT, RUBBING

• FASTNESS PROPERTY DEPENDS ON SEVERAL FACTORS

• WASH FASTNESS DEPENDS ON

• FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN DYE AND FIBRE

• PHYSICAL STATE OF DYE INSIDE THE FIBRE

• PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF FIBRE

• BOND ENERGY• COVALENT BOND > ELECTROSTATIC BOND > H-BOND >

VANDER WAAL FORCE

• WASH FASTNESS• REACTIVE DYE > ACID, METAL COMPLEX, CATIONIC >

DIRECT, VAT, SULPHUR, DISPERSE

EXCEPTIONS

• VAT DYES ON COTTON• EXCELLENT WASH FASTNESS PROPERTY

REASONS• DYE INSIDE FIBRE WATER INSOLUBLE FORM

• STATE OF DYE INSIDE FIBRE AGGREGATED (VERY HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT)

• BOTH THESE FACTORS LEAD TO VERY HIGH WASH FASTNESS ON COTTON THOUGH WEAK FORCES OF DYE-FIBRE INTERACTION

DISPERSE DYES ON POLYESTER• DYE INSIDE FIBRE WATER INSOLUBLE FORM• VERY COMPACT PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF FIBRE

• DYE UNABLE TO DIFFUSE OUT UNDER WASHING CONDITIONS

BRIEF HISTORY OF DYEING

• PRACTICED AS EARLY AS • 3000 B C IN CHINA• 2500 B C IN INDIA• DYED GARMENTS FOUND IN EGYPTIAN TOMBS• KNOWLEDGE OF DYEING WENT TO EGYPT THROUGH INDIA• DYES USED WERE OF NATURAL ORIGIN, • EXTRACTION FROM PLANTS OR INSECTS

PLANT DYES• INDIGO, MADDER

INSECT DYES• LAC, COCHENEAL, KERMES• MAJORITY OF NATURAL DYES ARE FIXED ONTO FIBRE WITH

THE HELP OF METAL SALTS KNOWN AS MORDANTS IMPORTANT MORDANTS

EXHAUST DYEING

MATERIAL TO LIQUOR RATIO (M:L RATIO)• VOLUME OF WATER TAKEN IN RELATION TO WEIGHT OF

MATERIAL (FIBRE, YARN OR FABRIC)e.g. M:L :: 1:10 MEANS FOR 1 kg OF TEXTILE MATERIAL 10 LITRES OF WATER TAKEN FOR DYEING

% DYEBATH EXHAUSTION• AMOUNT OF DYE GONE FROM SOLUTION PHASE TO FIBRE

PHASE AT THE END OF DYEING PERIOD EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF %. IT IS A MEASURE OF DYE SUBSTANTIVITY. THE TERM IS MAINLY APPLICABLE TO BATCHWISE DYEING.

• % FIXATION: AMOUNT OF DYE FIXED (INTERACTED) WITH FIBRE AFTER WASHING/SOAPING.

% SHADE• AMOUNT OF DYE TAKEN FOR DYEING ON THE BASIS OF

WEIGHT OF MATERIAL• e.g. 2% SHADE MEANS 2 gm DYE TAKEN FOR DYEING 100 gm

MATERIAL i.e TEXTILE FIBRE, YARN OR FABRIC.

BATCHWISE DYEING• DYEING IN SMALL BATCHES, 100-300 kg FABRIC
