  Abstract

Cotton, wool, polyester, and polyamide fabrics have been dyed with the aqueous extract of curcumin, attempting to replace synthetic colorants with natural ones. All dyeing processes were carried out without mordants in aqueous baths in the presence of dispersing agent. It was found that curcumin has high coloristic power on both natural and synthetic substrates offering dark yellow shades. The wash fastness tolerance on all substrates was excellent classifying curcumin as a universal natural dye being able to effectively dye both natural and synthetic fibers, and thus possibly replacing the synthetic and sometimes toxic and allergenic synthetic dyes. It was also found that its antioxidant and antibacterial behavior is considerable, providing useful characteristics to the substrates applied.
