Staining is an unpleasant of dyeing in the are
a that we do not want.
Exhaustion of the dyestuff to the fibers is as f
ollows:
1. Moving of dyestuff from dyebath to surfac
e of the fiber
2. Adsorption of the dyestuff into the surface
of the fiber
3. Diffusion of the dyestuff into the center of
the fiber
3
Classification of Dyestuffs
Dyestuffs can be classified by many methods
as follows:
1. by their ionic (e.g. cationic, anionic and no
n-ionic)
2. by their fiber dyeabilities (e.g. on cellulosi
c, protein, polyester, polyamide etc.)
3. by their names (e.g. acid, direct, disperse, r
eactive, basic etc.)
4. by their chemical structures (e.g. azo, anth
raquinone, stilbene etc.)
5. by their origins (e.g. natural, synthetic)
6. by their colors (e.g. red, green, black etc.) 4
Dyeing Processes can be applied in many
stages such as
1. Mass-coloration of the molten fibers
This method is for dyeing the molten
fibers or plastic chips or textile polymers
with pigment dyes. After that, the molten
or polymers will extrude from a spinneret
to form fibers.
Normally, the synthetic fibers are added
with white pigment in order to give a
hiding power (non-see through fabrics).
Advantage: give excellent fastness
Disadvantage: very difficult to clean 5
2. Fiber Dyeing is the method of dyeing fiber
s before blending with other colors to give fa
ncy yarns or fabrics.
Note: This is used for special purposes only.
3. Yarn Dyeing is the method of dyeing
yarns in forms of hanks or packages dyeing.
This will give Scottish’s style fabrics, carpet
with many colors and styles.
Note: This is used in hand loom weaving in
the Northern and North-eastern parts of
Thailand.

4. Fabric Dyeing is the method after
weaving, knitting, or non-woven to make
fabrics. This is very popular method of
dyeing as the dyed fabrics will be processed
further to garment industries very easily.
Dyeing forms of the fabric dyeing can be
used in 2 ways:
1. Open width form using the fabrics to
spread without any creases and dye them.
2. Rope form using the fabrics with the
form like a rope (many creases and look
like “a rope”)
7
Some people classify into:
1. Exhaustion Process
This method is using lot of water as shown i
n “Liquor Ratio (ratio between water and go
ods)” This should immerge the goods into
dye solution for a long time in order to let th
e dye penetrate into the goods. This will lea
d to produce more waste water than the cont
inuous process.
Advantage: inexpensive, no need to train the
worker to look after and run them properly.
Disadvantage: lots of water needed, very slo
w process (60-120 min/batch.) 8
2. Continuous Process
This method is designed by putting different
machinery into a sequence so that it can
produce the dyed fabric in one pass.
Advantage: very fast process (10-100
m/min), small amount of water in the
process.
Disadvantage: very expensive, need to train
the worker to look after and run them
properly.

6. Garment Dyeing
This method is the last process of the dyein
g of goods. However, the penetration of the
dye solution may not be completely passed t
o the fibers such as between the seams, butt
ons, zippers etc. Normally, it is used for lin
gerie, socks, sweater dyeing etc.

Name of Dyestuffs
Fibers that can be dyed
Acid Silk, wool, polyamide,
leather
Basic Acrylic
Direct Cellulosic, viscose
Disperse Acetate, triacetate,
polyamide, polyester,
acrylic
Reactive Cellulosic, viscose,
protein
Vat Cellulosic
Sulphur Cellulosic 11
Factors that give some choices of the
dyestuffs
1. Cheap
2. Non-toxic
3. Compatible to other dyes and chemicals
4. High color strength
5. Better brightness
6. Better fastness
7. Good levelness on the materials
12
Dyes for Cellulosic Fibers
15
Dyeing Conditions
1. Continuous Process
1.1 Pad-dry-bake
This is very easy method for cotton or cotton
blends fibers.
1.2 Pad-dry-Pad (Chemical)-Steam
This will give brighter and more intense
color than method 1.1.
1.3 Pad-batch
This will put the goods into the dye solution
and squeeze with 2 rubber rollers to get rid
of excess water and then batch at room
temperature for 1-2 days. 16
2. Exhaustion Process
This method will be used in small factory.
Dyeing conditions will be 40-80oC for 30-90
min depending to the types and structures of
the dyes.
17
Textile Auxilaries
1. Salt - reduce negative charges on the fiber
s
2. Water - dyeing media
3. Soda Ash - excite the dye to link with the f
ibers with covalent bonding. Therefore, it en
hances wet fastness
4. Fixing Agent - enhance wet fastness for he
avy shade but usually reduce light fastness.
18
Vat Dye (Anionic when soluble)
The dye is named from the container (Vat)
that used for rotting the dye with alkali
solution. This crucial process will reduce the
dye from insoluble to soluble dye (suitable
for exhaustion in the cellulosic fibers). Now
the manufacturer can synthesize man-made
vat dye.
19
Dyeing Process
1. Dissolve dye into water (insoluble dye)
2. Vatting process by reducing the insoluble
dye in alkali condition. (soluble dye)
3. Absorb into fibers (soluble dye)
4. After dyeing, oxidize the dye with
oxidizing agent (insoluble dye)
5. Wash and soap the goods
20
Dyeing Conditions
1. Continuous Process
1.1 Pad-dry-Pad (Chemical)
The solution of the dye is prepared without
adding reducing agent to ensure leveling
dyeing. After that, the goods are passed to
chemical bath to reduce the dye into soluble
dye and fix within the goods. Oxidizing
agent is added to the goods and converted to
insoluble dyes.
21
1.2 Pad-oxidize-pad-oxidize (many times)
This will put the goods into the dye solution
and squeeze with 2 rubber rollers to get rid
of excess water, oxidize with the air and then
immerse into the dye solution again and
again to allow the dye penetrate into the
goods.
22
Textile Auxilaries
1. Salt - reduce the negative charges on the
fibers
2. Sodium hydroxide - adjust pH to the
dyeing bath and make the suitable conditions
for reducing agent.
3. Sodium hydrosulfite - reducing agent for
the vat dyes.
4. Water - dyeing media
5. Oxidizing agents - (Hydrogen peroxide or
Acetic acid or Air) oxidize the soluble to
insoluble dye
23
Sulfur Dye (Anionic when soluble)
The dyeing process has the same process as
described in the vat dye except that using
Sodium sulfide instead of Sodium
hydrosulfide.

Dyes for Synthetic Fiber
30
Textile Auxiliaries
1. Leveling agent - for levelness dyeing
2. Retarding agent - for inhibiting the dye not
attach to fibers too fast
3. Acid - adjust the dyeing condition and
make the fibers to show positive charges
4. Water - dyeing media
31
Basic Dye (Cationic)
The dye shows positive charge. Normally,
the dye can be applied on wool, silk and
polyacrylonitrile (acrylic).
Dyeing Conditions
100oC x 30-60 min
