Pigment Dyeing

By R Senthilkumar

Pigments have been used for a long time for continuous dyeing of pale pastel shades. Their advantages include a highly simple and time saving coloration procedure that also ensures high light fastness, a significant benefit in this shade area. The wet fastness of these pale shades also meets the required standards. Pigment dyes are also showing continuous growth in the exhaust-dyeing segment. The washed or weathered look has gained popularity in the leisure and activewear. Pigments allow different styling effects across a broad spectrum of colors. The main limitations associated with the pigment shades are build-up and crock fastness. Another field for pigment application in textiles is the solution or dope dying of modifying natural or synthetic fibres.
