Comparison of properties of dyes
A: inaccessible region :
1) Cotton fiber consists of an assembly of fibrils
2) Cotton is accessible to water and dye molecule only
at fibrillar surface by way of pores and channels
1) The most obvious macrostructural feature to affect the dyeing is its specific surface area, which is inversely
related to its fineness. The finer the fiber, the greater is the rate of dyeing
2) Pale flecks in dyed cotton fabric are caused by immature(or thin-walled) fiber,
since immature cotton fibers lack of a fully developed secondary wall where dye molecules can enter

IK dyes : have a low substantivity and are dyed at RT with a little NaOH and a high salt concentration
IW dyes : have a high substantivity and dyed at 50 C with more NaOH and less salt
IN dyes : have a much higher substantivity and dyes at 50 C with still more NaOH

Stage 1 : It is characteristic of vat dyes that they exhaust rapidly, even at relatively low temperature
Most of the dye (80-90%) exhausts within about 10 min
The dye is absorbed initially in the outer of the fiber, causing ring dyeing
The rate of dyeing is related to surface area of fiber, dye concentration, liquor ratio, etc.
Stage 2 : The second stage is governed by the diffusion of the dye into the interior core of the fiber
The rate of diffusion is dependent on dyeing temperature

2. Dyeing process
1) Dissolving dye
- the same amount of Na2S and Na2CO3
as that of sulfur dye
- soft water without Ca and Mg ion
2) Dyeing
- large amount of Na2SO4 is needed
3) Washing
- cold water
- over flow, 30min
4) Oxidation
- H2O2(35%) 2cc/l
acetic acid 2cc/l
- 50 x 20min
5) Soaping
- Na2CO3 3g/l
soaping agent 1g/l
- 90 x 10min
6) Aftertreatment
- CuSO4 or K2Cr2O7 with acetic
to improve color fastness
