Continuous Dyeing with Pigment Colours

Pale tints of polyester/cotton blend fabrics, like shirting, are dyed using pigment colours. 

The subsequent steps conjure the procedure as a full.
(i) Padding
(ii) Drying
(iii) Curing

For successful dyeing, the material must undergo the correct pretreatment. Particularly crucial are the fabric's wetting characteristics. 

A typical recipe for pad liquor is 

Chemical

Quantity

(1) Pigment

X gpl

(2) Binder

80 to 100 gpl

(3) Sodium alginate

10 to 20 gpl

(4) Acid-liberating agents

4 gpl

(5) Exhaustion

60 to 70%


By including an appropriate cross-linking agent, a softener, and magnesium chloride as an acid-liberating catalyst in the pad liquid, it should be conceivable to carry out dyeing and resin finishing simultaneously.

Process of dyeing

(i) Use five times the maximum amount of water because of the required amount of binder to dilute it. 30% carboxylic acid, if needed, should be added.
(ii) Weigh the pigment emulsion, and add a little amount of water to create a paste, so dilution with water 10 times its weight. 
(iii) Mix the acidified binder emulsion with the pigment emulsion as you add it.
(iv) Supplement it with the required amount of sal ammoniac. 
(v) With stirring, add water to urge the mandatory volume. 
(vi) Use a fine cloth to filter the dispersion before padding. 
(vii) employing a padding mangle, saturate the material with this liquor.
(viii) Hot-flue/float dry the material, then cure it for four minutes at 150°C in an exceeding polymerize. 


Test for pigment dyeing

The microscopic test is the most trustworthy thanks to checking for pigment dyeing. 

A 100–250x magnification is employed to look at a fibre cross-section. supported how the hue is distributed throughout the fibre section, an evaluation is produced.
(i) a traditional dye was accustomed to colouring the fibre if the colouration was equally dispersed over the complete cross-section and also the fibre wasn't "pigment dyed."
(ii) The fibre in question is pigment-dyed if pigment particles are solely deposited on the fibre surface (i.e., the highest layer within the fibre cross-section).
