2. Dyeing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyeing

   Khotan. Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials such as fibers, yarns, and fabrics with the goal of achieving color with desired color fastness. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material. Dye molecules are fixed to the fiber by absorption, diffusion, or bonding with ...

3. Colour fastness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_fastness

   Colour fastness is a term—used in the dyeing of textile materials—that characterizes a material's colour 's resistance to fading or running. Colour fastness is the property of dyes and it is directly proportional to the binding force between photochromic dye and the fibre. The colour fastness may also be affected by processing techniques ...

4. Natural dye - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_dye

   See also. Natural dye. Naturally dyed skeins made with madder root, Colonial Williamsburg, VA. Natural dyes are dyes or colorants derived from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. The majority of natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plant sources— roots, berries, bark, leaves, and wood —and other biological sources such as fungi. [ 1 ]

5. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

   Lightfastness is a property of a colourant such as dye or pigment that describes its resistance to fading when exposed to light. [1][2][3] Dyes and pigments are used for example for dyeing of fabrics, plastics or other materials and manufacturing paints or printing inks. The bleaching of the color is caused by the impact of ultraviolet ...

6. Blue Wool Scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Wool_Scale

   Blue Wool Scale. The Blue Wool Scale measures and calibrates the permanence of colouring dyes. Traditionally this test was developed for the textiles industry but it has now been adopted by the printing industry as measure of lightfastness of ink colourants. [1][2] The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists pioneered the work on ...

7. Cold pad batch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_pad_batch

   Cold pad batch (CPB) is a method of dyeing textiles, typically cellulosic fibers such as cotton, in which the textile is impregnated with dye in a cold state, rather than being heated. High dye fixation and no thermal energy are the advantages of the CPB process. [1] CPB-dyed fabrics are less expensive, have a softer hand feel, and have a ...
