Research on printing process of Arnebia euchroma dye on Tencel fabric
The printing process of Arnebia euchroma on Tencel fabric was explored.Sodium alginate,guar gum,and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are employed as thickeners.The K/S value of the printed fabric is tested to analyze the effects of dye concentration,steaming temperature,steaming time,and penetrant dosage on the printing effect.The re-sults show that sodium alginate,as the thickener,has an excellent printing effect on dyeing Tencel fabric with Arnebia eu-chroma.The optimal printing process parameters are as follows:dye mass concentration 7.5%,steaming temperature 105℃,steaming time 30 min,and the mass concentration of penetrating agent JFC 3%.With these process conditions,the color fastness to soap washing and rubbing of printed Tencel fabric can reach levels 3~4 or above.
