Investigation of Dyeing Properties of Different Fabric Species with Alkanna Orientalis Root Extract

OpenAlex English

In this study, the dyeing properties of different fabric species were investigated using root extract of yellow sormunen (Alkanna orientalis).For this purpose, the cotton and wool fabrics were dyed using the root extract of yellow sormunen by pre-mordanting, together-mordanting and last-mordanting methods with copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ), iron sulfate (FeSO 4 ) and aluminum sulfate (AiK(SO 4 ) 2 ) at medium pH.The same procedure was applied to cotton and wool fabrics that allowed in Artifical Urinary System (AUS) [%3 NH 3 + %3 urea + %3 CaC 2 O 4 (g/v) ] for 24 h.The color codes were determined with Pantone Color Quide, and K/S and L* a* b* values were detected with color measurement spectrophotometer, and also washing-, crocking-fastness levels were evaluated using gray scale.According to the evaluations, the fabrics dyed pre-treated with AUS have higher fastness values than the unpre-treated dyed fabrics with AUS.
