Dyeing Lab

This document describes the testing procedures performed in a dyeing lab. It discusses physical tests like GSM, fiber diameter, and color fastness tests. Chemical tests examine properties like blend composition, dyes, and moisture content. Mechanical tests include tensile strength, bursting strength, and abrasion resistance. Standard methods from organizations like ASTM, ISO, and BIS are followed. The document also provides details on processes like lab dip preparation, calculation of dye recipes, and matching samples to swatches. Lab dipping plays a key role in shade matching before bulk production orders.

Shrinkage test Method
 Shrinkage:Shrinkage is the process in which a fabric becomes smaller than
its original size, usually through the process of laundry. Cotton fabric
suffers from two main disadvantages of shrinking and creasing during
subsequent washing.

There are two types of shrinkage occurs during washing

1) Length wise
2) Width wise

Shrinkage % = (length of fabric before wash)-(length of fabric after wash))/


(length of fabric before wash) *100
Example:
For Length,
length of fabric before wash=55 cm
length of fabric after wash=52 cm

So, Shrinkage % = 55-52=3/55*100%


=5.45 %
For Width,
Width of fabric before wash=36 cm
Width of fabric after wash=35cm

So , Shrinkage % = 36-35=1/36*100%
=2.77%
Here, Shrinkage is 5.45%. Normally shrinkage is acceptable less than 5%. But it
Can Be change in case of buyer requirement.
DYEING LAB DEPARTMENT CALCULATION AND OTHERS

Lab dip is small swatch of fabric to define color


and its recipe before it goes for bulk dyeing.
Developing Lab dip is one of the primary jobs
for a merchandiser to start an order
execution. Lab dip is very important for dying
factory. Because bulk production order
depends on lab dips. Besides, lab dip plays an
important role in shade matching & this is an
important task before bulk production.
Lab Dip:
Lab dip is a process by which buyers supplied
swatch is matched with the varying dyes
percentage in the laboratory with or without
help of “DATA COLOR”
Lab dip plays an important role in shade
matching & and detaching the characteristics
of the dyes and chemicals are to be used in
the large scale of production. So this is an
important task before bulk production.
Recipe preparation in lab dip
Common Stock Solutions:
1. Red – 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% (very common)
2. Yellow – 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% (very common)
3. Blue – 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% (very common).

Preparation:
i. To prepare 0.1% Stock solution, it is necessary to mix 0.1 g dye and 100
cc water.
ii. To prepare 0.5% Stock solution, 0.5 g dye stuff is mixed with 100 cc
water.
iii. To prepare 1.0% & 2.0% Stock solution similar procedure is followed.
iv. To prepare 10% Stock solution of Soda ash, 10 g Soda is mixed with 100
cc water.
Depth of Shade:
0.5% to 5% shade for the goods.
Lab Dip Calculation :
Usually following calculations are followed:

Dye Solution = (Shade % * Sample Weight) / (Stock solution %) (cc).


Salt = (Shade % * Liquor) / 1000 (gram per liter, gpl).
Soda Solution = (Shade % * 100 * Liquor) / (1000 * Stock solution %) (cc).
Sample Calculation for 0.5% Shade:
Sample wt. = 5 mg
Material liquor ratio = 1: 10
Total liquor (5 * 10) = 50 cc
Dye solution required = (5 * 0.5%) / 1% = 2.5 cc
Salt solution required = (50 * 25) / (20 * 10) = 6.25 cc
Soda ash solution required = (50 * 10) / (20 * 10) = 2.5 cc
Water required {50 – (2.5 + 6.25 + 2.5)} = 38.75 cc
Lab Dip:
A lab dip is a swatch of fabric test dyed to hit a color
standard. It is a process by which buyer’s supplied
swatch is matched with the varying dyes percentage
in the laboratory with or without help
of spectrophotometer. Lab dip plays an important
role in shade matching & this is an important task
before bulk production. In previous article of this
author we have to learn on flow chart on dyeing
lab.
Objectives:
1. The main objectives in lab dip are as follows:
2. To calculate the recipe for sample dyeing.
3. To compare dyed sample with swatch by light
Box or Spectrophotometer.
4. To calculate revise recipe for sample dyeing.
5. Finally approved Lab Dip (Grade: A, B, C & D)
Process Sequence of Lab Dip:
Lab Dip Requisition from buyer
↓
Entry in the computer
↓
First recipe is given by swatch/pantone number
↓
First correction
↓
Second correction
↓
Grading of sample (A, B, C, D)
↓
Yarn and knit sample send to buyer
↓
Approved by buyer
↓
Order for bulk production
↓
Production card with approved sample and recipe send to production section.
