Abstract
The current study focuses on the quality of water. As the water quality is important for dyeing the fabric . There are a large volume of water are used in textile industries during dyeing respectively. It investigates that at different areas the water quality is different according to their parameters. The main and vital theme of this research project is to know and check the parameters of ground water (TDS, pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, etc.) from different areas around Lahore and Faisalabad and their effect on reactive dye of cellulosic textile material with respect to Light fastness, wash fastness, rubbing fastness and gray scale rating . and their effect on dyeing quality regarding to Croma, Hue, lightness and total difference as well . The water samples are tested in the PCSIR department of chemistry. The sample of water from Lahore has accepted limits of contaminations but in Faisalabad water has large quantity of contaminations . The object of this work is to study the effect of water hardness on knitted cotton fabrics from selected areas water sample by using reactive dyes (PROCION CRIMSON H-EXL and PROCION NAVY H-EXL).Cotton is a natural cellulosic fabric. Reactive dyes are commonly utilize for cotton dyeing due to its wide range of shades dark shades to light shades of cellulosic fabric. The major objective of our work is to evaluate and observe the effect of dyed sample when the quality of water are changed due to different areas. Here five different concentration of dye are conceder 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 5%. All five samples are processed similarly and the properties of fastness are controlled strictly as color fastness to rubbing, color fastness to wash and light fastness. After that we predict and observe the shade variation with the help of spectrophotometer. For the finalevaluation the information are arranged in the tables. There are no definable effect of water quality on the surface properties of the dyed specimen. The water quality has no effect on the rubbing fastness and washing fastness properties of dyed fabric but has effect on light fastness properties.
