CORRELATION BETWEEN WARP-WEFT DENSITY AND FABRIC POROSITY OF THE COTTON FABRICS AND COLOR EFFECTS OBTAINED IN REACTIVE DYEING
[ Volume: 17 Issue: 1 / JANUARY - MARCH 2007 ]
One of the main problems in dyehouses is the differences between the structural parameters of the reference fabric of which dyeing recipe is known and the fabric to be dyed. In such a case, knowledge of the effects of the parameters such as warp and weft density and fabric porosity on the colour efficiency is of importance. Cotton fabrics with different warp and weft densities and porosities were reactive dyed and the colour measurements were carried out by spectral photometer. Warp and weft densities and porosity do not have an evident effect on the colour shade however considerable change of colour yield was determined.
