| Abstract: | In this study Marigold, Tagetes erecta Linn., petals were used to standardize the
printing paste for cotton. Seven mordants used to study their effect on printing
with said dye were: aluminium sulphate, copper sulphate, ferrous sulphate, lead
acetate, potassium dichromate (chrome), stannous chloride and zinc chloride.
Simultaneous mordanting technique was used. The mordants were added on the basis
of total printing paste prepared under optimum conditions. Out of seven
mordants, two mordants selected on the basis of visual assessment and washing
fastness were chrome and copper sulphate. Fast colours were obtained when 3 per
cent chrome or 5 per cent copper sulphate was used. The use of mordants produced
various colours with marigold flower dye. Beige colour was obtained when dye was
used without any mordant whereas it was mustard with chrome and olive green with
copper sulphate |
