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

Dyeing of Viscose Fabric

Methodology:
The methodology is as follows-

Planning & budgeting

Collection of viscose fabric

Collection of chemicals & dyes

Various pretreatment & dyeing procedure

Observation of results

Compare of results

Select best alternative

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.
