DIRECT STYLE OF PRINTING ON COTTON USING HOT BRAND
REACTIVE DYES BY STEAMING METHOD
AIM
To print the cotton fabric with reactive hot brand dyes using direct style by
steaming method.
RECIPE
Reactive dyes -2-5%
Urea -5-10%
Resist salt -1-15%
Sodium bi-carbonate -1-2.5%
Sodium alginate thickener - 2-5%
Defoamer 0.5%
Water - balance
Total = 100 parts
PROCEDURE Esesesrannaal
The fabric is printed using screen printing method ~ above recipe is used
for preparation of print paste.
PASTE PREPARATION
Hot water at 80° c is taken. Resist salt and sodium bi-carbonate ee
dissolved with stirring followed by sprinkling alginate powder. The paste is kept
for 8 - 12 hrs. After cooling urea and reactive colours (pre dissolved with 40°
water) are added.
In this process the printing paste containing sodium alginate as a thickener
to act as a vehicle for carrying the dye on to the cloth. To prevent the spreading of
colour on the cloth by capillary action beyond the limits of define dportion in tle
pattern. Sodium-bi-carbonate [a mild alkali] preferred for which decompos:s
during steaming to release alkali. Resist salt [sodium meta nitro benzere
sulphonate] act as mild oxidizing agent protecting reactive colours from ary

$ reducing atmosphere in steamers. Resist salt improves the better colour yield and
brightness of print. Urea is used for dye dissolution and as a hygroscopic agent
which absorbs moisture from steam and help better diffusion of colour in the fibre
during steaming.

PRINTING WITH WHITE AND COLOUR KHADI PASTES
(PRINT - DRY - CURE)
AIM
To print the given hosiery fabrics by using white and colour khadi pastes.
PRINCIPLE
It is one of the special types of printing most widely used. This is sharp and
small design which is difficult to produce in discharge printing. It is possible by
this method. So it is popular. The dyed cloth is printed with a paste contains a
white opaque pigment like TiO, (Titanium di oxide). Thus produces a white effect
on a coloured ground. TiO; pigments are mostly used because of their following
advantages.
1. High opacity
Covering power

Inertngss to organic binder
S
Excellent whiteness
‘There are two types of khadi printing namely
1. White khadi printing '
2. Colour khadi printing
PROCEDURE
WHITE KHADI PRINTING
In this process TiO, is mixed with binder, urea, fixer CCL, Diammoniun
phosphate with emulsion thickener without colouring pigment. This printing past
thoroughly mixed and printed on the fabric in general printing method. It produces
white design on colour ground.
COLOUR KHADI PRINTING
In this printing the above mentioned additions are mixed with colow
pigment and the fabric is printed with general printing method, It produces colow-
Khadi on white (or) coloured ground. After printing the material is dry at 100°c and

TIE AND DYE RESIST STYLE OF COLOURATION USING REACTIVE
DYES (WHITE & MULTI COLOUR EFFECT)
AIM
To obtain the tie and dye style effect on the given cotton fabric using
reactive dyes (white and multi colour effect).
PROCEDURE
Tie and dye style is basically a resist process. The portions to be resisted
are tied using a waxed thread or hydrophobic thread will prevent the penetration of
dye liquor into the tied area. Yarn hanks (or) fabric to be tie and dyed as per
required pattern before dyeing, A dye bath is set with the required conditions and
required dye class (reactive dyes). The tied material is entered and waxed in the
bath. After required colour is picked up the material is given fixation treatment
and washed, squeezed and dried. On opening the tie knot the residual portions are
revealed. This gives a white resist pattern on a coloured back ground. Multi colour,
resist are also possible by repeated tying and dyeing. This style is very simple and
requires less equipment.
RESULT
The given cotton fabric is printed using reactive dyes under tie and dye
style white and multi colour effect.

BATIK STYLE OF PRINTING (WHITE AND COLOUR RESIST) USING
COLD BRAND REACTIVE DYES /AZOIC DYES
AIM
To obtain the batik effect on the given fabric.
PROCESS
Waxing — (apply molten wax with brush) — dyeing — washing (cold water) ~
de-waxing (waxed material into the boiled water and wooden spoon used. Take
out the molten wax) — Washing — dry.
PROCEDURE
This is a mechanical resist process. In which the resist design is applied
with hydrophobic wax. Mixture of paraffin wax and beeswax are (1:1 to 1:3) used
to get good crackling and adhesion effect. The well prepared fabric is applied with
molten wax by brush on special tool (or) blocks as per desired pattem preferably
on both side of the fabric. The, wax is solidified on drying. The fabric is crushed by
hand to form cracks in the waxed area. The cracks will give way for colour
diffusion during subsequent dyeing. After crackling, the fabric is dyed using azoic
or cold brand reactive dyes to the required ground shade and cold wash. The wax
is removed by treating in hot water bath 70 — 80° followed by hot soap and cold
wash. The dewaxed areas produce a white resist pattern with fine hairline cracks,
which are not reproducible. Multicoloured resist effects are also possible repeated
waxing and dyeing operation.
RESULT
The given cotton fabric is developed with white and colour batik style
effect.
