Abstract
The quality of water is very important in the dyeing of textile materials. Dyeing industry uses a huge quantity of water. The quality of ground water is different at different locations. The major objective of this project is to check the quality parameters (PH, TDS, alkalinity and hardness etc) of ground water collected from different industrial areas and their effect on the quality of dyeing regarding to quality of dyed specimen surface (evenness and whiteness), hue, and chroma, lightness and total difference. The effect of quality of water is also studied for washing fastness and crocking of dyed specimen. The water is tested at PCSIR labs. The Faisalabad water has lot of contaminations but the water samples from Multan Road, Kotlkhpat and Raiwind Manga Road has contaminations with in accepted limits. The Knitted fabric samples are dyed with Red, Yellow and Navy colors in different water samples. Fabric samples dyed with different dyes in different depth are compared with relevant samples dyed in Multan road water, selecting as standard. The comparison is done both visually and with spectrophotometer. The washing fastness and crocking of the dyed samples is also measured. All the information are arranged in tables and studied for final evaluation. It is evaluated that water quality has definable effect on the surface properties, Hue, chroma, lightness and total difference of the dyed specimens. It is also evaluated that water quality has no effect on the washing fastness and crocking. The area has bright chances for future research. The effect of water on dyeing can be studied further by varying the parameters of quality of water artificially by the addition of chemicals and by the results prediction of most suitable water, quality parameters for dyeing.
