Process maximization of salt free reactive dyeing on cotton using Taguchi approach

This study optimized the salt free reactive dyeing process using Taguchi approach. Dyeing of cotton fabric with dyes is popular because its bright and brilliant color in various shade ranges. Cationization ALBAFIX-WFF on was carried out exhaust method. To determine optimum conditions, two types multiple characteristic parameters, including single value conversion method maximization method, were used basis strength (K/S) wash fastness. The confirmed that condition a cationization temperature 40 °C pH 11. Most importantly, optimal conditions by as concentration 30 g/L, at 80 °C, 12, material-to-liquor ratio (M:L) 1:5. More suitable properties are also achieved
