Dyeing of polyester fabric with disperses dye in High temperature method (HTP)

In high temperature dyeing method either material or liquor should circulate. Otherwise dye molecules will
not penetrate inside the material. They will stay on surface only. In this method, temperature is kept in
between 105-140°C and pressure is kept from 0 to 170kPa. This method is also known as pressure
dyeing which is used for highly crystalline synthetic fibers and their blends. This technique causes the
fiber to swell even more than which achieved at 100°C temperature. So that dye molecules penetrate the
fiber polymer system. It eliminates the need of carriers.

Recipe:

1. Dye = x% owf
2. Dispersing agent = 1g/L
3. Acetic acid = 1-2 g/L
4. Temperature = 1300C
5. Time = 1 hr.
6. PH = 4-5.5
7. M:L = 1:10

Procedure

1. At first a paste of dye and dispersing agent is prepared and then water is added to it.
2. PH of bath is controlled by acetic acid at 4-5.5.
3. The dye bath is kept at 600C temperature and all the chemicals with material are added to it and
it is kept for 15 min.
4. Now the temperature of bath is raised to 1300C and it is continued for 60 min.
5. The dye bath is colored as early as possible after dyeing at 600C
6. The fabric is hot rinsed and reduction cleaning is done if required. It is done for improving the
wash fastness.
7. Then the fabric is finally rinsed and dried
