Improving light fastness of natural dyes on cotton yarn
نویسندگان
چکیده
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-Crews. The woad presents a type III fading rate curve, similar to the indigo fading rate curve presented by Cox-Crews. A poor light fastness of the three natural dyes in comparison with synthetic ones is established beyond question. Nevertheless, the use of some additives can improve this default of natural dyes. In all the cases, the use of UV absorbers or antioxidants improved the light fastness of dyed fabrics. The most effectives were the vitamin C and the gallic acid. 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

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.
