Fastness of dyestuff solution to sun light

Light Fastness of Ink Jet Prints on Modified Conventional Coatings

Improving light fastness of natural dyes on cotton yarn

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the light fastness of selected natural dyes (madder, weld and woad) and the effect of some commonly used antioxidants and UV absorbers on the light fastness of these dyes. The photofading rate curves of madder and weld fixed on cotton correspond to type II fading rate curves described by Giles. These results are in concordance with those of Cox-Crew...

Improving light fastness of Reseda Luteola natural dyed wool with antioxidants and UV absorbent

One of the problems of natural yellow dyes (weld) is their low stability against light and their high fading rate. One of the main destructive factors in pale of color fibers and hand-woven carpet is the high-energy ultraviolet radiation which causes chemical bonds to break and optically damages of organic structures. In this study, the effect of some antioxidants (gallic acid, ascorbic acid) a...

Effect of Reaction Conditions on Production of Catechinone Hair Dyestuff in Water/Alcohol Mixed Solution

Catechinone hair dyestuff was produced chemically from (+)-catechin by the oxidation with O2 in basic water/alcohol mixed solution. The effects of reaction conditions such as basicity, sorts of added base, temperature, alcohol molar fraction of solvent and sorts of added alcohols on the catechinone formation were studied in order to increase the efficiency of the dyestuff production. The amount...
