Under the following conditions mono azo disperse dyes were applied to polyester:
The dyeing bath was settled at 40- 60ºC by adding the calculated volumes of dispersing agent ( Ejanal , 1g /l ), acetic acid ( pH= 5 - 5.5 ), dye ( 2% ) and water, where liquor ratio was kept at 1:30 . Fabric sample (polyester or polyamide) was added to the bath and temperature was raised gradually to 130ºC for polyester, through 15 minutes). Dyeing was continued at 130º C for 60 minutes then the dyeing bath gradually cooled .On completion of dyeing, the fabric was taken out and washed in a solution containing 5 g/l detergent at 60°C for 15 min. Finally, the washed fabric sample was rinsed with water and dried at ambient conditions.
the value of K/S of the disperse dyes decrease by change of H in benzene ring by substituent likes CH3 ,OCH3 , Cl, NO2 ……but it should increase.
