Abstract

Dyeing of polyester fabric with turmeric powder and pure curcumin were studied in this research.                      The turmeric and curcumin were separately dissolved in water to make 1.20 %w/w turmeric solution and 0.25 %w/w curcumin solution. The fabrics were dyed in the infrared dyeing machine using liquor ratio 1.5 : 100. The dyeing for 30 min at temperature 35, 70, 80, 100 and 130 ˚C, and dyeing at 130 ˚C for 30, 45, 60 and 90 min were considered. The possibility of using polyethylene glycol 400 to improve color strength for the fabric which was dyed at a low temperature dyeing were investigated. Color strength and shade of dyed fabrics were evaluated using K / S,   L *,   a *, b *, c * and h * values which were measured from reflectance spectrophotometer. The fastness of the dyed fabric to washing and exposing to xenon arc light was graded using color- change and color- staining gray scales. The results show that the use of turmeric powder and pure curcumin in dyeing polyester fabric is possible.                      The optimum condition for dyeing is temperature 130 ˚C and time 90 min. Although the shades of turmeric powder and pure curcumin are similar on polyester fabrics, the color shade is more even on the fabric dyed with pure curcumin from the information of color values. The color strength (K/S) of the fabric dyed with curcumin was increased when the concentration of polyethylene glycol 400 was increased in the dyeing system. Low temperature dyeing tends to be possible when polyethylene glycol 400 is added in polyester-curcumin dyeing system.
