The study sought to identify the primary problems arising during the dyeing of protein and synthetic fabrics (polyester and acrylic fabrics. Pretreatment has a stronger influence on the dyeing qualities of materials as well as the environment.
The main goal of this study is to modify protein and synthetic fabrics (polyester and acrylic) by using biopolymer (pectin) to enhance their coloring with synthetic and natural dyes, as well as its antimicrobial properties.
The treatment was carried out by applying pectin solution to the fiber followed by dyeing with synthetic and natural dyes. The efficacy was then evaluated in terms of shade depth by evaluating the K/S value and colorfastness attributes of pectin-treated dyed cloth samples. Pectin-treated textiles were found to have a greater depth of shade than untreated dyed samples. In terms of colorfastness, the dyed samples with and without pectin pre-treatment had nearly identical dry rubbing fastness. Pectin-treated textiles, on the other hand, had lower wet rubbing and washing fastness ratings, especially for materials with greater pectin concentrations
