SODIUM HYDROSULPHITE OR SODIUM
DITHIONATE
SENSITIVITY
HYDRO IS SENSITIVE TO ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN
DECOPOSES DURING VATTING AND DYEING OF VAT DYE
EXCESS MUST ALWAYS BE PRESENT
DECOPOSITION INCREASES WITH
TEMPERATURE
AGITATION OF DYE LIQUOR
EXPOSED SURFACE AREA OF DYE BATH
HYDROSULPHITE DECOMPOSITION
NEUTRAL MEDIUM
2Na2S2O4 + H2O Na2S2O3 + 2NaHSO3
ALKALINE MEDIUM
2Na2S2O4 + 2NaOH Na2S2O3 + 2Na2SO3 +H2O
PADDING
PADDING
USE WELL SCOURED BLEACHED FABRIC IN DRY STATE
GOOD WETTING OF FABRIC IS ESSENTIAL
SATURATE THE FABRIC WITH DYE DISPERSION
SQUEEZE OUT EXCESS LIQUOR (EXPRESSION 70%)
PADDING MANGLE SPEED 20 M/min.
IF FABRIC IS TOO TIGHT CONSTRUCTION, PAD AT HIGH TEMP (60-700C)
DRYING
DEVELOPMENT MAY BE DONE IN WET STATE OR AFTER DYRYING
IF WET, DEVELOP WITHOUT DELAY
UNIORM DRYING OF PADDED FABRIC ALONG THE WIDTH AND BACK
AND FACE OF FABRIC IS ESSENTIAL
MACHINE USED EITHER HOT FLUE OR STENTER
HOT CYLINDER DRYING IS NOT ADVISABLE DUE TO BACK TO FACE
DYE MIGRATION.
DEVELOPMENT ON JIGGER
SET THE JIGGER BATH WITH REQUIRED AMOUNTS OF
HYDRO AND CAUSTIC SODA.
ADD SMALL QUANTITY OF PADDING LIQUOR TO THE BLANK
BATH IN JIGGER TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DYE WHICH
BLEEDS OUT FROM FABRIC
THE DEVELOPMENT IS SIMILAR TO JIGGER DYEING
OPERATION FOLLOWED BY OXIDATION AND SOAPING
TREATMENT.
CONTINUOUS METHOD
PAD-STEAM PROCESS
PRINCIPLE: INCREASE IN RATE OF DYEING WITH
INCREASE IN TEPERATURE.
DYE REDUCTION ON FABRIC SURFACE
IMMEDIATE DYE ADSORPTION
AFTER TREATMENT
THE FINAL TREATMENTS INVOLVING OXIDATION AND
SOAPING ON 8 COMPARTMENT OPEN SOAPER
METHOD IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR PALE TO MEDIUM DEPTH
OF SHADES
THE STEAMER SHOULD BE SITUATED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE
TO CHEMICAL PADDING MANGLE, TO MINIMIZE HYDRO
DECOPOSITION IN AIR BEFORE STEAMING.
CONTINUOUS METHOD
DYEING OF COTTON WITH INDIGO
INDIGO HAS POOR AFFINITY TOWARDS COTTON
CONVENTIONAL EXHAUST OR CONTINUOUS
METHODS ARE NOT SUITABLE
SPECIAL METHOD OF MULTIPLE DIP AND NIP (5 DIP
AND 5 NIP) METHOD IS USED IN COMMERCIAL
PRACTICE
MAJOR APPLICATION FOR DYEING OF COTTON
WARP FOR PRODUCTION OF STONE WASH

PREMATURE OXIDATION TO INSOLUBLE VAT DYE
EXPOSURE TO LIGHT SHOULD BE AVOIDED
ACTION OF LIGHT CAN BE MINIMIZED BY ADDING SMALL
QUANTITY OF SODA ASH TO DYE SOLUTION
GENERAL PROPERTIES
SUBSATNTIVITY
LOW AFFINITY TO COTTON
GOOD LEVELLING AND PENETRATION ON TIGHTLY WOVEN
FABRIC
STANDING BATH MAY BE USED
DYEBATH IS REPLENISHED AFTER DYEING ONE LOT BY DYE
CONCENTRATION EQUIVALENT TO THAT TAKEN BY FABRIC
EXCELLENT REPRODUCIBILITY OF SHADES
ADDITION COMMON SALT IMPROVES DYE EXHAUSTION
DYEING MAY BE CARRIED OUT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
OXIDATION
CARRIED OUT UNDER ACIDIC CONDITIONS
H2SO4 + NaNO2, NaNO2 + HCOOH, K2Cr2O7 + H2SO4 ARE
COMMONLY USED
APPLICATION
THREE STEPS
1. PADDING OR EXHAUSTION OF DYE FROM SLIGHTLY
ALKALINE OR NEUTRAL SOLUTION
2. DEVELOPMENT ON FABRIC IN PRESENCE OF OXIDIZING
AGENT NaNO2 + H2SO4 (MOST COMMON) AT ROOM TEMP
OR 50-600C OR EVEN HIGHER DEPENDING ON EASE OF DYE
OXIDATION
3. AFTER TREATMENT: NEUTRALIZATION, AND SOAPING,
RINSING
DYEING METHODS
EXHAUST METHOD (JIGGER DYEING)
PAD-DEVELOP METHOD
JIGGER DYEING
SET DYE BATH WITH 0.5 g/l SODA ASH AND 5-10 g/l NaNO2
DYEING TEMP. ROOM TEMP 400C
ADD HALF THE QUANTITY OF DISSOLVED DYESTUFF, GIVE ONE END
ADD SECOND REMAINGING DYESTUFF, GIVE ONE END
ADD 10-40 g/l SALT OVER TWO ENDS
EXCESS SALT CONC. PRECIPITTES THE DYE
COMPLETE DYEING IN 4-6 ENDS
DEVELOP THE BATCH ON TO ANOTHER JIGGER IF STANDING BATH
IS TO BE USED.
RUN TWO ENDS THROUGH H2SO4 BATH AT 50-600C
RINSE, SOAP AT BOIL, RINSE
CONTINUOUS DYEING
LOW AFFINITY. MOST SUITED FOR CONTINUOUS DYEING
TYPICAL PAD LIQUOR COMPOSITION
DYE X g/l, Na2CO3 1 g/l, NON-IONIC WETTING AGENT 1 g/l,
NaNO2 10 g/l
PAD AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
DEVELOP IN A BATH CONTAINING 10 g/l NaNO2 AND 10 g/l
H2SO4 AT 600 C IN THE 1st COMPARTMENT OF THE 8
COMPARTMENT OPEN SOAPER
SOMETIMES THE PADDED FABRIC IS DRIED BEFORE
DEVELOPMENT
INTERMEDIATE DRYING GIVES BETTER COLOUR YIELD
AFTER ACID DEVELOPMENT GIVE
COLD RINSE SODA ASH NEUTRALIZATION HOT WATER
RINSING SOAPING AT BOIL COLD RINSE DRY.
SEMI-CONTINUOUS DYEING
PAD THE FABRIC WITH DYE SOLUTION
DEVELOP ON JIGGER LIKE IN EXHAUST DYEING
COLD RINSE, SOAP, COLD RINSE
