Exhaust Dyeing Method

Winch/Soft Flow Jet Dyeing

Start dyeing with required amount of dye at room temperature. Run the fabric for 10 min. Add the required amount of salt in 2-3 portions over a period of 20 min. and raise the temperature to 60° C in 20-30 min. Continue dyeing at 60° C for 15-30 min. Add alkali in 2-3 portions over a period of 20 min and continue dyeing for 60-90 min.

Salt and Alkali requirement

% Shade	Common Salt (g/l)	Soda Ash (g/l)	Mixed Alkali (g/l)
% Shade	Common Salt (g/l)	Soda Ash (g/l)	Soda Ash	Caustic Soda Solid
Upto 0.1	05 - 10	8	8	-
0.1 to 0.5	10 - 40	10 - 15	10	-
0.5 to 1.0	40 - 50	15 - 20	5	0.2 - 0.4
1.0 to 2.0	50 - 70	20	5	0.4 - 0.5
2.0 to 4.0	70 - 80	20	5	0.5 - 0.8
Above 4.0 %	80	20	5	1.0

Washing off

To achieve best possible fastness properties, it is essential to remove the unfixed/hydrolysed dye completely from the substrate. Following sequences can be used for this purpose.

Cold rinse -------> Hot rinse -------> Neutralise (with acetic acid) -------> Soap (1-3 times) -------> Hot rinse -------> Cold rinse.

Soaping can be done with 1-2 g/l anionic or non-ionic detergent or polymeric washing off agent at boil for 15 min. (M:L::1:15 to 1:20)

Fastness Properties

Fastness of dyed material to various agencies was assessed as per the standard test methods at 1/1 std. depth, mentionaed below:

Washing: ISO-3 and ISO-4 (Ratings by greyscale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent)
Rubbing: ISO 105 x 12 (Ratings by greyscale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent)
Light: AATCC 16E 20 hrs. (for blacks at 8.0% shade)(Color change ratins by greyscale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent)
Perspiration: ISO 105-E04 (Ratings by greyscale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent)
Chlorinated Water: ISO 105-E03 (Ratings by greyscale: 1 - poor, 5 - excellent)
