ABSTRACT
Abstract: Dyeing is a process of thorough colouration of textiles, and its success lies on the type and extent of pretreatment imparted to develop good absorbency as well as whiteness. Various influencing factors during dyeing, such as pH, form of textile, type of fibre, formulation of dyeing recipe, preparation of dye solution, liquor ratio, selection of machinery, etc., also, play a crucial role in development of levelled shades with least effort and cost. Right programming of the dyeing schedule and scientific approaches for recipe formulation as well as addition, if required, are the other keys to avail maximum utilization of machineries, workforce, power and finally delivery of the product to the market at the right time. This chapter highlights these basic concepts for effective implementation of technology of dyeing.
