Parameters Influencing the Dyeing of Polyester Microfibres

Abstract

The dyeing of polyester microfibres with both high energy and low energy disperse dyes has been investigated. The results show the rate of exhaustion on these fibres are more rapid than on regular polyester fibres with no corresponding increase in the colour yield. With the low energy dye, a wide fluctuation in the amount of dye exhausted during dyeing was observed. It is postulated that changes in the degree of crystallinity of microfibres could attribute to such phenomenon.
