Application of single and mixtures of red sandalwood and other natural dyes for dyeing of jute fabric: studies on colour parameters/colour fastness and compatibility

Eco-friendly dyeing of wool using natural dye from weld as co-partner with synthetic dye

“…Natural dyes are mostly eco-friendly, less toxic, and less allergenic as compared with synthetic dyes (Feng et al, 2007;Vankar et al, 2007;Bechtold et al, 2003;Komboonchoo and Bechtold, 2009;Samanta et al, 2009;Sarkar and Seal, 2003). Natural dyes exhibit better biodegradability and generally have a better compatibility with the environment (Deo and Paul, 2000;Parvinzadeh, 2007, 2004;.…”

Indian Textile Industry: Opportunities, Challenges and Suggestions

“…In the global market tariff and non-tariff barriers coupled with quota is posing major challenge to the Indian textile Industry. The environmental and social issues like child labor and personal safety norms are also some of the challenges for the textile industry in India [8][9][10][11][12].…”

Dyeing of Textiles with Natural Dyes

“…Plots of K/S vs ∆L and/or ∆C vs ∆L, i.e., two sets of curves obtained for the said two sets (Set-I & Set-II) of dyed samples indicate the nature of compatibility by closeness of the pattern of the two sets of curves . However, another easy method of Relative Compatibility Rating (RCR) method (Samanta et al, 2009) has been established based on differences between lowest and highest colour difference index (CDI) values [CDI = (∆E X ∆H) / (∆C X MI)] for a binary mixture of natural dyes dyed in different proportions with fixed shade % at standardized dyeing conditions.…”
