| Abstract: | The capacity of cotton treated with antimicrobial agent (Reputex-20) to
uptake reactive blue dye has been determined and compared with that of
untreated and dyed cotton. The cationizing efficiency and antimicrobial effect
of antimicrobial agent applied on cotton fabric dyed with reactive dye are
found to be better as compared to conventional method of reactive dyeing on
untreated cotton fabric. Moreover, the fabric pre-treated with antimicrobial
agent shows less antimicrobial activity as compared to post-treated fabric. The
samples pre-treated with antimicrobial agent give better K/S values than the
normal reactive dyed sample. Fastness to light, washing and rubbing of treated
and dyed fabric is also found to be comparable with that of the conventional
dyed fabric |
