Natural Dyeing Process Of Cotton | Advantages | Disadvantages | Updated Expriment 2023

The natural dyeing process of cotton is the application of natural dyes to the fiber molecule of cotton fabric. It is the most recent technology in the sense of sustainability. It is the most popular dyeing procedure at present. Because less amount of hazardous chemicals is used here. As a result, users convert to using naturally dyed products.

Dyeing fabric has been a part of human culture for centuries, and natural dyeing processes are still popular today. Cotton is one of the most widely used fabrics in the world, and understanding the advantages and disadvantages of natural dyeing processes can be beneficial to those who are interested in experimenting with different methods.

Now a practically applied procedure is discussed below with its advantages and disadvantages.

Dyeing sequence:

We cut the sample for every stage of the natural dyeing process. As a result, you can understand easily. This is the example of a reupdated factory.

After unloading the fabric we send it to the finishing department.

After that slitting> stenter> compacting occurs. Finally, we got the finished fabric.

The finished fabric picture is here

Natural dyeing is an eco-friendly dyeing process. The output product of natural dyeing is a health response. So that everyone should use this product. In natural dyeing, there is some advantage and disadvantage.

Advantages of natural dyeing process of cotton or dyes stuff:

• Eco-friendly dyes.
• These dyes are made from natural sources. As a result, they are sustainable because the dyed cellulosic fabric contains no hazardous man-made chemicals like Azo pigments or Azo dyestuffs.
• The natural colors are exhaust completely. As a result, the drain water is completely clean. Also, the first rinsing bath will be completely clean. This is sustainable dyestuff because there are no residues from the binder. Here are pigments in the drained water and rinsing bath.
• Natural dyes used in textiles contain no Azo dyes, which means the recycling of used clothes is sustainable, which means the pigments are suitable for the “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy.

Disadvantages of the natural dyeing process of cotton:

•   The color range is limited. So that various color is not possible.
•   The fastness properties of natural dyes are not up to the mark specially the light and color changes after washing. Generally, the light fastness for light colors 1-2. For dark color 3. change of color after wash 3.
• Shade variation is more than the normal dyeing process.
• Discharge print is not possible.
• Even dyeing is not possible normally.

Conclusion:

The world is going toward sustainability So natural dyeing is the better option for sustainability. You must have to use to keep you safe.
