Cold Pad Batch Cationization and Dyeing of Linen Fabric with Reactive Dyes

Abstract

Unmodified linen fabric is cationized through the reaction of two different commercial cationizing agents, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHTAC) and polyaminochlorohydrin quaternary ammonium salt with epoxide functionality (PAQAC). Uncationized and cationized linen fabrics are dyed with four different types of fiber reactive dyes by using the cold pad batch dyeing method. The fastness properties of the dyed cationized linen fabrics have been evaluated.
