For present study, colour fastness properties of printed samples with catechu, double coreopsis and mango bark were evaluated. The results depicted that all the dyes have very good to excellent washing and sunlight fastness. Hence, recommended for upholstery items like curtains, bed covers, cushion covers etc. The colours obtained using mordants were soft, lustrous and natural. The use of these dyes is eco- friendly and can be used successfully by textile industry and may be exported.

Abstract


For present study, colour fastness properties of printed samples with catechu, double coreopsis and mango bark were evaluated. The results depicted that all the dyes have very good to excellent washing and sunlight fastness. Hence, recommended for upholstery items like curtains, bed covers, cushion covers etc. The colours obtained using mordants were soft, lustrous and natural. The use of these dyes is eco- friendly and can be used successfully by textile industry and may be exported.
