Effect of reactive dye mixtures on exhaustion values

Abstract

<span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">The effect of dyes <span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt" lang="EN-GB">mixtures for the <span style="font-size:9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">dyeing of textile fabrics on an exhaustion rate has been studied. The <span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-GB">exhaustion rate<span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language: EN-US" lang="EN-US"> of 3 reactive dyes (Yellow Bezactiv S3R, Red Bezactiv S3B and Blue Bezactiv SGLD), their binary and tertiary mixtures on pre-wetted cotton fabrics has been investigated. <span style="font-size:9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt" lang="EN-GB">The dyeing is carried out at the liquor ratio of 1:40 in a sealed stainless steel dyebath housed on the Ahiba Nuance Speed. <span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;mso-ansi-language: EN-US" lang="EN-US">The results show that the exhaustion rate of every dye in monochromatic dyeing is different from the exhaustion value of the same dye in presence of another dye. A quantitative measurement technique for identifying each individual dye concentration in the mixtures solution and determining the exhaustion rate is also proposed.
