  Abstract

In recent years, it is seen that there have been many publications on natural dyes in literature. In the studies carried out, one or more plants were taken and the color and fastness obtained with them in the presence of different mordants were examined. Beyond that, functionalities such as odor, antibacterial activity, and UV protection that natural dyes impart to the fabric were examined. However, the important thing that the literature needs is to represent also the results related to the industrial scale production since industry shows high interest to be able to use natural dyes. In this study, seven plant dyes have been used for the coloration of polyamide fabric. The studies have been conducted both on an industrial scale and at the laboratory scale. Based on the statistical analyses, four dyes with the highest color strength and fastness properties including catechu, madder, mulberry leaf, and pomegranate peel were selected for more studies on industrial scale. The results confirmed the good color strength and satisfactory fastness properties against repeated washing, rubbing, water, and perspiration for all selected dyes. The samples dyed with those dyes exhibited excellent protection against UV radiation. The results obtained in this study showed the potential of the selected natural dyes in eco-friendly industrial dyeing of nylon fabric with acceptable fastness properties.
