Abstract:

A new approach for the dyeing and UV protection of cotton fabric using Henna extract was investigated. In this study, 3-chloro-2-hydroxy propyl, trimethylammonium chloride was used to substitute metallic mordants (heavy-metal salts) in the pre-treatment of cotton fabric. This will eventually prevent heavy metal pollution as well as facilitate dyeing without the addition of salt. Cationised cotton fabrics were dyed with Henna extract at different dyeing temperatures for different dyeing times. Colour strength, fastness properties (washing, rubbing and light), UV-blocking and tensile strength were investigated. Cationised fabric dyed with Henna extract exhibited outstanding enhancement in UV protection with minimal impact on the tensile strength. Enhancement or decrement in UV protection and colour strength was found to be governed by the dyeing temperature and dyeing time.
