Abstract
Coconut husk of dark brown colour was selected as dye source and pigment extracted from husk and it was utilized for dyeing of cotton and silk fabric. Optimized various dyeing conditions as time required for extraction of pigment , time for dyeing of fabric ,concentration of dye source, to make the dye permanent different metallic salts( mordants) were taken such as Feso4, Alum, and Cuso4 and for dye fixation post mordanting method was used. Colour strength of extracted pigment, dyed fabric and mordanted fabric was measured by using colour measuring instrument Tinctometer. Colour fastness properties were tested of dyed and mordanted fabric such as washing, rubbing, perspiration, sunlight and hot pressing. Result revealed that 30 minutes time period was found to be sufficient for extraction of pigment as well as for dyeing of fabric, 2 gm concentration of dye source was found to be enough for dyeing of one gram of cotton fabric and one gram silk fabric and post mordanting method for dye fixation was found to be excellent method. Selected mordants make the dye fast as well as developed various shades on fabric. On cotton fabric colour shade produced as light brown , dry leaves brown, light smoke grey .On silk fabric colour shade developed as golden brown , light brown, dry leaves brown and dark smoke grey. Colour fastness properties of silk fabric were found to be excellent and colour fastness on cotton was found to be good to fair. Coconut husk is environmentally eco-friendly, nontoxic and successfully utilized as a good source of dye for cotton and silk fabric and after dyeing fibers of coconut husk reused for industrial products
