Abstract
Chemical cationization of cotton has been a subject of increased interest due to the ability of cationized cotton to attract negatively charged dyes, thus eliminating the use of electrolytes during dyeing and increasing color yield. However, electrostatic attractions between cationized cotton and anionic dyes also result in significantly increased dye strike rates, which may cause levelness problems, especially when light to medium shades are required. In this study, cotton fabric cationized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride was used to investigate the method for obtaining appropriate dye strike rate to produce a level reactive dyeing on cationized cotton. To effectively control the dyeing kinetics of reactive dyes on cationized cotton, real-time exhaustion of six commercially significant reactive dyes were monitored. The influence of temperature, dye structure, and addition of soda ash on dyeing kinetics and levelness of cationized cotton were evaluated.
