  2. Cold pad batch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_pad_batch

    During the dyeing process, the dye must become close and even with the material in order to produce a uniform color that is fast to moisture, heat, and light. [5] Due to their superior fastness properties and simple application, reactive dyes are currently the most common type of dye for cotton dyeing. [6] The CPB technique uses less water and ...

  3. Natural dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_dye

    In natural dyeing, there are "fast" dye compounds (those that have the necessary molecular structure to form stable chemical bonds with mordants and fibres, and so provide good resistance to fading when washed, exposed to light, or subjected to normal rubbing/abrasion; these are found throughout the historic record), and there are "fugitive ...

  4. Stripping (textiles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripping_(textiles)

    In textile processing, stripping is a color removal technique employed to partially or eliminate color from dyed textile materials. Textile dyeing industries often face challenges like uneven or flawed dyeing and the appearance of color patches on the fabric's surface during the dyeing process and subsequent textile material processing stages.

  6. Cationization of cotton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cationization_of_cotton

    The like charges repel each other, and the addition of salt aids in dyeing by generating a positive charge on the cotton surface. [7] [8] The industry has predominantly used reactive dyes to color knitted cotton goods. The treatment of salt-laden, colored effluent generated by the dyeing process is one of the industry's primary concerns. Cotton ...

  7. Dyeing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyeing

    The common dyeing process of cotton yarn with reactive dyes at package form is as follows: The raw yarn is wound on a spring tube to achieve a package suitable for dye penetration. These softened packages are loaded on a dyeing carrier's spindle one on another. The packages are pressed up to a desired height to achieve suitable density of packing.

  8. Textile recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_recycling

    Textile recycling is the process of recovering fiber, yarn, or fabric and reprocessing the material into new, useful products. [1] Textile waste is split into pre-consumer and post-consumer waste and is sorted into five different categories derived from a pyramid model.

    The dyeing process also contributes around 15–20% of wastewater. For this reason, techniques are being introduced to reduce energy and water consumption, such as using CO 2 in the dyeing process, [53] where heat and pressure turn liquid CO 2 into a sustainable solvent for the dye (supercritical CO 2).
