Study on One-bath Dyeing Technology and its Application for Disperse/reactive Dyes on Polyester/viscose Blended Fabrics

In order to shorten dyeing process, increase yield and reduce consumption of water and alkaline, the one-bath two-stage heating dyeing process was used for reactive/disperse dyes. The key technology of this research was adding alkaline when polyester/viscose (cotton) blended fabrics were dyed by reactive dyes, and then adding acetic acid when dyed by disperse dyes. During this process, acetic acid and alkali neutralize, and sodium acetate and acetic acid form a buffer system, which greatly improves dyeing reproducibility. The results of factory trial showed that color strength and color fastness of polyester/viscose (cotton) blended fabrics dyed by this process were as same as those achieved by the traditional process.
