Introduction Within the textile industry, several sectors can be distinguished. The most crucial water-consuming sector within the textile industry is the textile finishing industry. Water can be used in two different ways: a medium for textile treatment with direct contact with the material or as a heating/cooling medium without direct contact. The following figure shows a[…]
Printing Printing can be described as the controlled placing of defined areas of color on to a substrate. The colorant must first be brought to the fibre surface usually in the form of a printing paste. If it is a soluble dyestuff, it must be diffused into fibres. The colorant must then be fixed in place and[…]
Definition of Pigment A substance in particulate from that is substantially insoluble in a medium but which can be mechanically dispersed in this medium to modify its color and light – scattering properties. In other words, Pigments are insoluble coloring matter mostly mineral origin have been used for the coloration of metal wood, stone, and[…]
Definition of Singeing Singeing is carried out rarely on knitted fabrics and frequently on yarns and woven fabrics. Instead of the traditional singeing process, it is possible to apply an enzymatic treatment (for cotton and lyocell fabrics), for example with cellulose, which uses chemical agents to corrode the fibre surface and remove the fuzz from the fabric.[…]
Among the various fashion articles, denim is the fashion icon. For ages, denim has held its waist. Denim fabrics are made of different colors and different styles. Blue, black, or any other color is basically made with sulphur. In this article, we will discuss the critical points of sulphur dye. Significance/Properties of Sulphur Dyes Note:[…]
Introduction The dyes containing azo groups – N = N – are called Azoic Dye. These are not ready made dyes but are produced by reaction of two components – Diazocomponent or Base/Salt and coupling component (Napthol). Azoic dye also named as Napthol, Branthol, Magic and Ice color. Dye formation in fiber occurs on the basis of[…]
In the dyeing industries, there are so many terms and definitions. If you want to be a perfect dyeing master, you should know these terms and definitions.

Definition of Textile chemicals The processes of conversion of natural and man-made textile fibres according to end uses & attractive qualities as per need of customer where involving the uses of a large number of organic and inorganic chemicals known as textile chemicals. The Textile Chemicals are as follows: Wetting Agent The chemical which is used for[…]
The textile industries dye polyester yarn or fabric use disperse dye for its versatile color. The dyes are hydrophobic, so the dispersing agent is required to spread the dye onto the yarn or fabric surface. Here high temperature and pressure are also required to fix the dye particles into the fibre molecules. The dyes hold[…]
Definition of Disperse Dye The term ‘Disperse dye’ is an organic coloring substance which is free from ionizing group are of low water solubility and are suitable for dyeing hydrophobic textile materials from colloid dispersion. It has low molecular weight and derivatives of Azo, Anthra – quinine, Di phynile amine and other component. Properties of[…]
