Abstract
Recently, a domestic standard of light fastness test for automotive interiors was
fortified to 3rd grade under the exposure of xenon light for 500 hrs. In this study, a high
light fastness anthraquinone-based disperse dye Synolon Black AK-NB and Synolon Dark
Grey AK was utilized to enhance the dyeability and fastness of recycled PET fabric depending
on the concentration of disperse dye (1-6% o.w.f.) and light fastness enhancer (2-
4% o.w.f.). The Synolon Black AK-NB over 4% o.w.f. with 4% o.w.f. of light fastness showed
higher light fastness over the 3rd grade. The light fastness was further enhanced with the
increase of the concentration of the dye, where the 4th grade of light fastness was found in
the Synolon Black AK-NB concentration of 6% o.w.f. On the other hand, 6% o.w.f. of Synolon
Dark Gary AK with 4% o.w.f. of light fastness enhancer exhibited the light fastness of 3rd
grade, which indicates the suitable dyeing conditions for automotive interior. The fastness
of abrasion, washing and rubbing depending on the concentration of the disperse dye and
light fastness enhancer exhibited high fastness over 4-5th grade.
