The color values of dyedcotton fabric samples are measured by using SF 650X Spectra flashspectrophotometer. The physico-chemical properties (rubbing and washing fastness) are also investigated by using Crock Meter (21P00-02) and landro meter.. It is concluded that with increasing the dyeingtemperature of reactive dyeing the value of color strength (K/S) alsoincreases. It is observed that the washing fastness and rubbing fastnessvalues of reactive dyed cotton fabric decrease by increasing the amount of dye concentration and salt concentration. It is found that the washing fastness and rubbing fastness values of reactive dyed cotton fabric slight improvement achieved by increasing the amount of alkali, time and temperature.MA ThesisThesis
