Cochineal is the name of both crimson or carmine dye and the cochineal insect (Dactylopius coccus), a scale insect from which the dye is derived. There are other species in the genus Dactylopius which can be used to produce cochineal extract, but they are extremely difficult to distinguish from D. coccus, even for expert taxonomists, and the latter scientific name (and the use of the term "coch...

This paper presents a model of cloth dyeing using the characteristics of the thread and weave pattern. The proposed dyeing model is based on Fick’s second law that defines the molecular transfer under translational diffusion [Fic85]. The algorithm in the proposed model calculates the dyeing distribution from parameters such as the amount of dyeing, saturated amount, and pressure in each cell on...

Newfangled vinylsulfone (VS) based fiberreactive dyes were synthesized and applied to mill desized, bleached and mercerized textile fabric (100% cotton). Padthermosol dyeing method was utilized due to less hazardous environmental affects and high dye fixation to optimize dyeing quality parameters i.e. salt concentration, pH, dyeing time and dyeing temperature. The pretreated and dyed cotton fab...

The dyeing properties of basswood veneer treated by dichlorotriazine reactive dye in a dip dyeing method were evaluated. The effects of dye concentration, dyeing temperature and time, volume ratio, and dyeing agent were observed relative to the dye-uptake and K/S, using gray correlation analysis. Results showed that various dip dyeing factors had remarkable influences on dye-uptake and K/S, esp...

Textile industry comprises of dry mechanical and wet chemical processing,wet chemical process comprises of bleaches, dyeing , printing, & finishing. Dyeing is art of colouration to textiles.Dye get transferred to textile during dyeing. Dyeing operation is performed by the reaction between fiber and dyes. Some dyes are water soluble and some are water insoluble. Some fiber has affinity to dye; s...
