In This experiment, it was divided into 3 parts.
The object of the find out the method of pretreatment leading to good dye ability.
It was found that the dye uptake of sample which was pretreated with aminon(surfactant) and sodium hydroxide showed similar to sample without treatment.
Hence, the fiber without any pretreatment was selected in the next step.
The object of the second part is to find out he appropriate condition of dyeing. The dye uptake and K/S was measured and analyzed. It was found the appropriate condition are and the condition was selected for the next part
The object of third part is to study the effect of mordant on the color strength, dye uptake and dye properties. The mordant using in this work are banana rubber as a natural mordant and CuSO4 as a synthetic mordant. The methods of application of mordants used includes pre-mordanting, simultaneous mordanting and pre-mordant. It was found that. The use of mordants improved the dye properties. CuSO4 as mordant and simultaneous mordanting and banana rubber as mordant and pre-mordanting showed the best dye properties with red shade color and gray shade color respectively
