Carrier Dyeing Method of Disperse Dye

The carrier dyeing method is used to dye polyester fabrics deep shades that are difficult to achieve with conventional dyeing alone. Carriers swell the polyester fibers, increasing the inter-polymer space to allow disperse dyes to more easily enter the polymer system. The dye recipe and procedure involves preparing a dye-dispersing agent paste, adding it to a dye bath along with carriers like phenol and acetic acid, controlling the pH, and heating the bath to 90°C for 60 minutes to fix the dyes in the fibers. Carriers enable deeper shades to be achieved at lower temperatures but also increase costs and can be toxic or cause staining issues.

Carrier Dyeing Method of Disperse Dye

The extreme crystalline nature of polyester fibres creates problems in obtaining dark shades by conventional dyeing methods even at high temperature. The carriers are found to assist the disperse dyes to enter the polyester polymer, enabling dark shades to be produced. The carriers swell the polyester fibres, increase inter polymer space and let the dye molecules to enter the polymer system easily. RECIPE: Dye -For light shade <0.5% - For medium shade 0.5-1.5% - For deep shade >1.5%

Carrier (phenol) Acetic acid Dispersing agent Salt (NH4)2SO4 pH M:L Time Temperature

:3gm/lit :1 g m/lit :2gm/lit :1-2gm/lit :4-5.5 : 1:10 : 60 min : 90C

PROCEDURE:
1. At

first, a paste of dye and dispersing agent is prepared and then water is added to it. 2. Dye bath is kept at 60C temperature and all the chemicals along with the material are added to it. Then the bath is kept for 15 min without raising the temperature. 3. pH of bath is controlled by acetic acid at 4-5.5. 4. Now temperature of dye bath is raised to 90C and at that temperature the bath is kept for 60 min. 5. Then temperature is lowered to 60C and resist and reduction cleaning is done if required. Reduction cleaning is done only to improve the wash fastness. 6. Material is again rinsed well after reduction cleaning and then dried.

Advantages of Carrier Dyeing

In conventional dyeing method, the extremely crystalline polyester fibres can not be dyed in deep shade. But by using carrier we can get medium to dark shade in boiling temperature. Materials can be dyed with simple equipments at atmospheric pressure and temperature below 100C. Moderate levels dyeing of polyester fabric can be done. Some carriers reduce the staining ol wool while dyeing polyester-wool blends. Rate of dyeing can be increased by using carriers. Can be dyed quickly by using carriers. Improves fastness properties of fabric except light fastness.

Disadvantages of Carrier Dyeing


Carriers add to production cost of dyeing. Firstly, for dyeing it is used which is costly and secondly for its removal alkali is required. Carriers are unhygienic and toxic. It creates skin diseases. 0 Some dyeing machines may create carrier spot. Carriers affect the light fastness property of dyed material. This effect may be reduced by treating the material with hot air for 30 min.

Some carriers are dyed specific. They posses different efficiencies with different dyes; others have compatibility with certain dyes.
