Fastness of dyed fabrics to dry cleaning

First-Order Parametric Model of Reflectance Spectra for Dyed Fabrics

Dry Cleaning

It has been more than a century since dry cleaning had its origin in Paris, France. Since that time, the dry cleaning process, whereby garments are cleaned in a nonaqueous solvent, has witnessed many refinements. Gasoline and carbon tetrachloride have been replaced as dry cleaning fluids by perchloroethylene (perc, and also known as tetrachloroethylene), Stoddard solvent (a petroleum distillate...

Dyeability and Antimicrobial Properties of Cotton Fabrics Finished with Punica Granatum Extracts

The dry rind of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used as dye stuff since earlier times. In the present study the dye extracts were obtained from the rinds of the P. granatum and used for dyeing the cotton fabrics. The fabrics were assessed for antimicrobial, dyeability and fastness properties. The color strength (K/S) of dyed fabric was assessed through dyeability test. The antibacter...

Wash Fastness of Textile Fibers Dyed with Natural Dye from Eucalyptus Wood Steaming Waste

Natural dyes are gaining interest due their expected low risk to human health and to the environment. In this study, the wash fastness of a natural coloring matter from the liquid waste produced in the steam treatment of eucalyptus wood in textile fabrics was investigated. Specifically, eucalyptus wood extract was used to dye cotton, nylon and wool in an exhaust dyeing process without the addit...
