  Abstract

In the continuous textile processing, conventional padding is the most commonly used technique for fabric dyeing. Pad dyeing consumes the substantial water, energy, and harmful chemicals. Recently, foam dyeing has been reported as a sustainable alternative to the pad dyeing for cotton fabric. However, there is a lack of research on the foam dyeing of polyester fabrics. Foam dyeing of polyester fabrics would face various challenges such as dye-uptake resistance due to its hydrophobic properties, foam optimization difficulties, and desired performance achievement. For the first time, this paper evaluates the foam dyeing of the polyester fabrics using three disperse dyes. This paper performs foam dyeing of polyester fabric using three disperse dyes, two foaming agents, and two stabilizers. The foam recipes were optimized for each color, each foaming agent, and each stabilizer. The optimized foam recipes were applied on the polyester fabric samples using a foam coating machine. Performance of the resultant foam-dyed fabric was compared with the fabric dyed with conventional pad-dry-cure method. Testing of the dyed fabric parameters included shade depth, color fastness, tearing strength, and air permeability. Results exhibited the successful application of foaming recipes and competitive performance. Subsequently, foam dyeing of polyester fabrics offers substantial cost savings, water saving, and energy saving.
