Abstract

A combined green dyeing and mordanting method was applied on cotton fabric in which natural coloring agents were extracted from Diospyros malabarica (Green Gaub fruit) and Camellia sinensis (Green Tea Leaf) wherever green lemon juice had been used as green mordanting agent and there is no artificial chemical was used during demodulation process of coloring agent, dyeing and mordanting. Both the treated and untreated fabric samples were tested for their mechanical properties (color fastness to washing and rubbing) and dyeing performance in terms of color fastness properties (light fastness) and color strength, K/S value. For dyeing with green gaub fruit, color fastness to wash and rubbing = Very excellent, color fastness to light = good and for dyeing with green tea leaf, color fastness to wash= very excellent, color fastness to rubbing = excellent, color fastness to light = good. An improved color strength, K/S value had been found for both dyeing with green gaub fruit and green tea leaf while mordanting was applied with green lemon juice.
