Abstract
Persimmon dye is a natural dye potentially used to promote sustainable textile industry. In this article, cotton and wool fabrics were dyed with persimmon dye. The performance of the dye was characterized using color strength and appearance analysis (ColorQuest), American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists colorfastness tests, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed color strength of dyed cotton and wool fabrics was enhanced with increasing dye concentration and dyeing times. The comparison between cotton and wool suggested persimmon dye exhibits better dyeing performance (higher color strength and higher colorfastness ratings) on wool fabrics than on cotton fabrics. The FTIR analysis indicated no significant chemical reactions or changes in persimmon dye occurred to dyed fabrics, suggesting negligible impact on chemical and physical properties of the dyed fabrics. The reported results are valuable in exploring the opportunity of using persimmon dye as a useful natural dye for a sustainable textile dyeing industry, especially in the case of dyeing natural fibers.Keywords
