Objects:

1. To increase quality of dyed fabric.
2. Cost minimization
3. Best process selection
4. Observation of different pretreatment process
5. Compare various pretreatment process

Operational activities:

1. Scouring & bleaching:

1. Different amount of wetting agent use.
2. Different amount of detergent use.
3. Different types of detergent use.
4. Different amount of caustic soda (NaOH) and soda ash (Na₂CO₃) apply.
5. Different amount of Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) use.
6. Various liquor ratio use.

Note: When one parameter change then others parameter will remain constant.

2. Dyeing:
Our main object is to observation of different pretreatment process effect for same dyeing recipe. Which process gives us better result.

3. Finishing

Methodology:
The methodology is as follows-

Planning & budgeting

Table: Modal fabric dyeing process with Reactive dye

N.B: Viscose fabric dyeing process is same as to Model fabric dyeing process. Do not use caustic & peroxide, viscose color is a multifunctional chemical which perform scouring & bleaching. Viscose fiber has more absorbency than cotton so liquor ratio uses 1:10. So possibility to uneven dye to prevent it used high liquor ratio & carefully dozing salt and soda.
