Description :
As dyed khadi cotton fabric has more acceptance than plain khadi cotton fabric and scoured khadi cotton fabric. Application of natural dye is always beneficial as synthetic dyes are more harmful to skin. So, in this study babool is used as a natural dye and alum as a mordant. Physical properties were changed when babool was used as a dye material and those changes in physical properties were tested and concluded in this study. Comparison of physical properties between scoured khadi cotton fabric and dyed khadi cotton fabric were shown in this research study.
These comparative effects of natural dyeing using babool and alum as a mordant on the physical properties of scoured khadi cotton fabric is the aim of this study. As synthetic dyes show environmental and dermatological hazardous effect their natural alternatives are gaining popularity. This study involved dyeing scoured khadi cotton fabric with babool bark extract using alum as a mordant. This experiment analyzed main physical properties, those are tensile strength, elongation, tearing strength, bending length and crease recovery. Result of this experimental work shown different physical properties with increased, decreased and stabled effects. In this way physical properties of scoured khadi cotton fabric and babool dyed khadi cotton fabric compared in this research study.
