Fastness properties of silk fabric with eco-friendly natural dyes obtained from Achras sapota and Cordia sebestena - A comparison
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 3, No 2 (2014) pp. 194-199
Abstract
Bleached silk fabric was dyed with natural dyes obtained from the stem of Achras sapota and flower of Cordia sebestena. The colour fastness properties and colour strength of dyed silk fabric were determined and compared. From the comparative study of fastness properties and colour strength of the dyed silk samples, Achras sapota dyed samples in simultaneous mordanting method with 3% mordant combination gives better results as compared to the natural dye obtained from the flower of Cordia sebestena.
