A New Approach for Enhancing Dyeing Properties of Jute-Based Textiles

Abstract

The effect of jute-grade, blending with other fibers, pretreatment regime, enzymatic treatment, as well as type of dye have been studied for attaining high performance dyeings with high value-added and potential applications. Results show that, the increase in fabric wettability, the improvement in fabric whiteness, the decrease in fabric stiffness, as well as the subsequent enhancement in dyeing properties could be achieved via proper selection of jute-grade, blend-components, treatment sequence, as well as dye class and dyeing regime.
