ABSTRACT

A mixed bi-functional reactive dye has been applied to the cotton and the cotton/hemp blend and their dyeing and fastness properties were compared. The cotton/hemp blend exhibited higher exhaustion values and better build-up property than cotton, presumably due to the lower crystallinity. Hence, the reproducibility of dyeing of hemp is expected to be excellent. Fastness properties of reactive dyes on cotton and cotton/hemp blend are found to be almost identical. The results obtained suggest that hemp in cellulosic fabric could be used as an important alternative to universal cotton in cellulose fabrics.
