ABSTRACT

The kapok fibers which are the functional fiber materials having natural hollows are environment friendlymaterials the demand and interest of which are increasing. The kapok fibers are environment friendly and natural hollowfibers which are 5-8 times lighter than cottons and have excellent performances in thermo keeping property, airpermeability, bulkiness and resilience. In this study, the pretreatment according to the dyeing behaviors of kapok fiberswere studied. Pretreatment(scouring, bleaching) were a variety of conditions. Scouring and bleaching, images of changedsurfaces and cross-sections and dyeing behaviors of the dye-o-meter according to the concentration measured in metersand compared. Although the final exhaustion ratio of the kapok fibers scoured with a high concentration recipe wasalmost as same as that of the kapok fibers bleached with a high concentration recipe, the initial absorption speed of thekapok fibers scoured with the high concentration recipe was faster than that of the kapok fibers bleached with the highconcentration recipe.
