INTRODUCTION
1. Direct application
2. Yarn dyeing
Characteristics of a dye
1. It must have a suitable color.
2. It must be capable of being fixed
to the material.
3. When fixed it must be fast to
detergents, soaps, water, dry-
cleaning solvents, light and dilute
acids.
Types of dye
The dyes are classified by dye
manufacturers for marketing into the
following types:
OBJECTIVE
To dye wool and cotton with malachite
green.
REQUIREMENTS
500 ml beakers, tripod stand, wire
gauze, glass rod, spatula, wool cloth
and cotton cloth.
Chemicals required: Sodium carbonate,
tannic acid, tartaremetic acid, and
malachite green dye.
PROCEDURE
1. Preparation of sodium carbonate
solution: Take about 0.5 g of solid
sodium carbonate and dissolve it in
250 ml of water.
2. Preparation of tartaremetic
solution: Take about 0.2 g of
tartaremetic and dissolve it in 100
ml of water by stirring with the
help of glass rod.
3. Preparation of tannic acid solution:
Take 100 ml of water in a beaker
and add about 1.0 g of tannic acid
to it. Heat the solution. On heating
a clear solution of tannic acid is
obtained.
4. Preparation of dye solution: Take
about 0.1 g of malachite green dye
and add to it 4oo ml of water. On
warming a clear solution of the dye
results.
5. Dyeing of wool: Take about 200 ml
of dye solution and dip it in the
woolen cloth to be dyed. Boil the
solution for about 2 minutes. After
that remove the cloth and wash it
with hot water 3-4 times, squeeze
and keep it for drying.
6. Dyeing of cotton: Cotton does not
absorb malachite green readily,
therefore it requires the use of a
mordant. For dyeing a cotton cloth
dip it in sodium carbonate solution
for about 10 minutes and then rinse
with water. Then put the cloth in
hot tannic
acid solution
for about 5
minutes. Now
take out the
cloth from tannic acid solution and
keep it in tartaremetic solution for
about 5 minutes. Remove the cloth
and squeeze it with spatula to
remove most of the solution. Now
place the cloth in boiling solution of
the dye for about 2 minutes.
Remove and wash the dyed cloth
thoroughly with water, squeeze and
keep it for drying.
7. Dyeing of cotton directly: Take
another piece of cotton cloth and
pit it directly into boiling solution
of the dye. Keep it dipped for about
2 minutes. Remove the cloth, wash
with water, squeeze and keep it for
drying.
Compare the color of this cloth with
that dyed by using mordant.
OBSERVATIONS
1. The color of wool cloth dyed
directly by dipping in hot
solution of malachite green dye
is fast.
2. The color of cotton dyed cloth
directly (without using mordant)
by dipping in hot solution of
malachite green is not so fast to
washing and is of low intensity.
3. The color of cotton cloth dyed
indirectly by using mordant and
then by dipping in hot solution
of malachite green is fast to
washing and is of high intensity.
