Application of Biotechnology in the Colouration of Jute Fabric Using Dithlorotriazine Type of Reactive Byes

摘要

Biotechnology has several applications in textile processing field. In the present paper, two sets of processed jute fabric viz,, alkaline scoured-bleached arid bioscoured-bleached jute fabrics were dyed separately with two dichlorotriazine type of reactive dyes namely, Procion Red M8B and Procion Yellow M4R dyes. It is revealed that bioscoured - bleached- reactive dyed jute fabric shows higher dye uptake than that produced by alkaline scoured-bleached-reactive dyed jute fabric in case of both the dichlorotriazine type of reactive dyes. Biotreatment results in improvement of handle and wash fastness properties of jute fabric. Brightness of shade was also improved in case of biotreatment-bleached-reactive dyed jute fabric.
