- Abstract
In textile industry the ecofriendly printing process through modern tool such as ultrasonic radiation has a promising effect in enhancing their colour characteristics as well as minimising the pollution loads. For the present study, the cotton fabric and mixed paste of Pigment Yellow 83 and Black 7 were irradiated by ultrasonic (US) treatment for 10–30 min at 60ºC. Printing was performed using non-irradiated and irradiated mixed pigment past onto irradiated and non-irradiated fabrics. The optimum value for US time was 10 min using irradiated Paste (RP) of 2, 4 and 10% pigments mixture onto non-irradiated fabric (NRC). The reported data show that US treatment has improved colour strength values by minimising the amount of paste used. Colourfastness properties using ISO standard method demonstrated that ultrasonic radiation of pigment mixture has improved the grading of fastness from fair to good. It is found that ultrasonic irradiation can successfully be applied to improve the printing behaviour of other pigments.
