Problems of Dyeing Polyester With Disperse Dyes


Polyester are the synt het ic f iber. They are essentially undyeable below 7080 C, leaving only a 20 30 C range for increasing the dyeing rate before reaching the boiling temperature. At any temperature, the rate of dyeing of polyester with a given disperse dye is very much lower than for cellulose acetate or nylon fibers. The rate of diffusion of disperse dyes into the polyester below 100 C is so low that dyeing at the boil does not give reasonable exhaustion. The rate of dyeing is higher for dyes of small molecular siz e that have higher diffusion coefficients. Dyeing is faster when using fiber swelling agents called carriers to improve the fibre accessibility, or when dyeing at higher temperatures above 100 C to increase the dye diffusion rate. Dyeing of polyester with disperse dyes have good light fastness. This does not always correlate with the light f ast ness on other fibres

Dyeing Problems and Their Solution of Polyester with Disperse Dye: Though dyeing
such as cellulose diacetate. of Polyester with Disperse Dye is very compatible, they have some problems occur during dyeing. Problems and solution are given in table:
