Dyeing Jute yarn with Basic dye.

Objects:

The main object of this process is to dye yarn.

• To dye jute yarn.

• To know about Basic dyestuff.
• To know how it work.
• To have an idea of dyeing curve on jute yarn.
• To know about the recipe.

Introduction:

It is suitable for acrylic fibers (other fibers by mordanting). It reacts with acetic groups, or mordants a
chemical which can react or complex with a chromophore to form an insoluble colour in the fibre. It
has good fastness properties on acrylic fibres.

Recipe:

Dyestuff = 1% owf.

Acetic acid = 1 gm/l

Sodium Acetate =2gm/l

Temperature = 90° c-95ºc

Time = 45 min

M :L = 1: 20

Calculation: –

Sample weight = 5 gm

Here we shall prepare stock sol

Acetic acid = (1×100)/(1000×1%) =10cc

Sodium Acetate=(2×100)/ (1000×1%) =20cc

Additional water require =100- (10+20+5) = 65 cc

Procedure : –

First required amount of dyestuff ,acetic acid agent is mixed in a closed vessel. Then additional water
& Sodium Acetate are added to this mixture. Finally sample is taken in this soln and closed the open
end of the vessel. Then vessel is kept on the rotadryer m/c and heated 90° c for 1 hour. Then the vessel
is open and the sample is drawn out and washed with water.

Result:

It provides ultimate shade range with high brightness. It provides poor levelling properties. Light
fastness is poor but wet fastness is good.
Precaution: –

• The sample should be kept uniformly in the mixture. Otherwise non-uniform dyeing will do.
• Amount of chemical and water must be accurate.
• Chemical must mix with water very well.

Conclusion: –

Dyeing is an important experiment in textile technology. Jute is the mostly used fibre from old ages
to now. Basic dyes will provide good brightness, high tinctorial but poor lightness and shape stability.
