Department of Textile Engineering Study on Photo Fading and Color Fastness Evaluation of Disperse Dye on Polyester Fabric

Abstract

In this study, dyeing of polyester fibre in different shade ( 1%, 2%, 3%) with disperse dye is carried out. Here high temperature method is used in dyeing of polyester fiber with disperse dye. The main purpose of this study is to find out the evaluation of the photo fading of the difference shade% of the disperse dye with polyester fiber. The dyeing is carried out at 130 ℃ where we use different chemical for dyeing. I also find out the color fastness rating for the different shade percentage of the disperse dye. I have measured the color fastness to wash, color fastness to rubbing, color fastness to perspiration. these testing is done according to the ISO method. Color fastness to washing rating is excellent for each shade. Color fastness to rubbing is excellent for each shade. Also, color fastness to perspiration is excellent for each shade.
