Fibre

How to Mordanting, Fixing and then Dyeing the Textile Fibres?

Cellulose Fiber has no affinity for basic dyes. So chemicals are applied (Mordanting Process) to create affinity in Cotton Fibre Dyeing.
The fibre Dyeing Sequence is as follows:

1. Mordanting

Firstly use Tertaremetic Acid. Then use Fibre+ Tannic Acid Fixation to create Tannin Mordanting Cellulose. In this cases the alternating synthetic mordents may be used.

Mordanting Fixing:

Tannic Acid=4% Tertaremetic Acid=2%
M : L= 1:20 M : L = 1:20
Time = 2 hrs Time = 30 Min
Temp = Boiling Temp= Boiling

3. Dyeing:

Dye→1%
M : L→ 1 : 20
Time → 1 hrs
Temperature → above 70◦
By following above mentioned three steps the Textile Fibre is dyed usually which have no affinity to dyes directly.
