Application of intensifier with antibacterial effect in dyeing of cottonpolyester textile materials

Abstract

Purpose of the work is to establish the effect of the intensifier on the color characteristics, color fastness indicators and antibacterial properties of the obtained textile materials during the dyeing process. Methods of chemical technology of textile materials were used in the work for preparation and dyeing of cotton-polyester fabrics. The color fastness of the obtained samples of textile materials to washing (DSTU ISO 105-C06:2009), sweat (DSTU ISO 105-E04:2009), to dry and wet friction (DSTU ISO 105X12:2009) was conducted in accordance with standard test methods. Spectral research methods are used in the work. The antimicrobial activity of the samples was determined by the method of zones of inhibition of the growth of test strains of microorganisms. The proposed method confirms the expediency of using the selected intensifier when dyeing cotton-polyester textile materials. Concentrations of the intensifier during their equipment were determined. The influence of the intensifier on the color intensity and its resistance to physicochemical factors was established. The antibacterial activity of the treated samples was confirmed. The possibility of dyeing cotton-polyester textile materials using the intensifier of the phenyl-phenol series with the simultaneous provision of antibacterial properties during the furnishing process has been proven. Practical value of the work lies in the fact that the conducted studies allow us to evaluate the influence of the intensifier on the color characteristics of cotton-polyester textile materials. The results of tests of processed samples for physico-chemical factors show high indicators of color fastness.
