Experiment Name: Study on nylon fabric with acid dye
Theory
Acid dyes are highly water soluble, and have better light fastness than
basic dyes. The textile acid dyes are effective for protein fibers such
as silk, wool, nylon and modified acrylics. They contain sulphonic
acid groups, which are usually present as sodium sulphonate salts.
These increase solubility in water, and give the dye molecules a
negative charge. In an acidic solution, the -NH2 functionalities of the
fibres are protonated to give a positive charge: -NH3+. This charge
interacts with the negative dye charge, allowing the formation of ionic
interactions. As well as this, Van-der-Waals bonds, dipolar bonds and
hydrogen bonds are formed between dye and fibre.

Recipe:
Acid Dye: 2%
Acetic Acid: 0.8 g/L
Wetting Agent:1 gm/l
Glauber Salt:40 gm/l
Levelling Agent: 1gm/l
Sequesting agent: 1gm/l
Temperature:8 0deg C
Time: 60 minutes
pH: 4.5 - 5.5
Fabric Weight: 4gm
M:L = 1:15

Calculation:
Total Liquor required
Fabric Weight = 4gm
M: L = 1:15
Required amount of liquor = 4X 15
= 60 gm
Acid Dye := (2x100)/1000 =0.08 gm

Acetic Acid = (60x0.8)=0.048 cc

Wetting Agent = (60x1)/1000=0.06 cc
Levelling Agent = (60x1)/1000=0.06 cc
Sequesting agent =(60x1.5)/1000=0.09 cc
Glauber Salt = (60x40)/1000=2.4 gm

Total Liquor = (0.08+0.048+0.06+0.06+0.09+2.4) = 2.738

Total Fresh Water =(60 – 2.738)= 57.262

Function of Chemicals
Wetting Agent: Wetting agent is substances that reduce the surface
tension of water to allow it to spread drops onto a surface, increasing
the spreading abilities of a liquid. Lowering the surface tension lowers
the energy required to spread drops onto a film.

Acid Dye: The main substance to color the sample.

Acetic Acid: Acetic acid used for maintain pH 4.5-5.5. Because the
Acid dye only works in acidic medium.

Pre-cautions:
All chemicals measure are taken properly.
Temperature maintain properly.
Burner used very carefully.
Time maintain according to recipe.
 Conclusion:
This experiment we done very well with help my teacher and co-
assistant. We used very carefully to required materials and the result
of the sample very satisfying. This practical did very helpful in our
coming work place. Specially thanks to my teacher for helping us
every time when we need. So we learn lot of thing by complete this
practical.
