Abstract

Pad dyeing of cotton fabric with vegetable indigo is studied.The results show that the optimum reduction process is the ratio of plant indigo:sodium hydroxide:sodium dithionite of 2:3:9,reduction at 45 ℃ for 20 min.The amount of sodium dithionite increases by 50% compared with that of synthetic indigo process.The optimum pad dyeing process for vegetable indigo is the concentration of NaCl 60 g/L,dyeing time 20 s,oxidizing time 2 min,padding 12~14 times.The optimum pad dyeing process for synthetic indigo is dyeing time 20 s,oxidizing time 3 min,padding 12~14 times.The soaping fastness of cotton yarns dyed with vegetable indigo is similar to that with synthetic indigo.
