The use of natural dyes on textiles has become a matter of importance because of the increased environmental awareness to avoid hazardous, non-biodegradable synthetic dyes (soluble and Non water soluble) and synthetic chemicals. Pre-mordanting, and post-mordanting of 10%, 30% and 50% concentration of mordants carried out using alum, stannous chloride and ferrous shulphate. Results were achieved for dyeing at 90°C for 60 min at 10%, 30% and 50% concentration of the dye on the weight of fabric using pre-and post-mordant dyeing techniques Treated fiber showed a substantial increase in colour depth (K/S) and adequate wash, light and rubbing fastness properties without and with mordanted and dyed banana fiber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
