    Colour Matching Triangle

    The document describes an experiment to construct a color triangle using acid levelling dyes on wool and nylon fabric. It explains that all visible colors can be produced by combining primary colors yellow, red, and blue. The experiment involves preparing dye solutions of the three colors, setting up dye baths at 50°C with acid and salt, adding fabric and dye, and gradually raising the temperature over 30 minutes to 98°C to allow the dyes to bond to the fabric. Fifteen samples each of wool and nylon fabric will be dyed using varying concentrations of the three dyes to produce colors across a triangle spectrum.

    A COLOUR TRIANGLE USING ACID LEVELLING DYES. AIM: To demonstrate a simple laboratory colour matching exercise.

    THEORY: In this experiment you will have the opportunity to see the effect of mixing different dyes to generate a range of hues. All the colours of the visible spectrum can be reproduced with binary (2) and tertiary (3) colour combinations of yellow, red and blue dyes. Intermediate colours such as olive, khaki, brown navy are produced using three dyes. A colour triangle illustrates the relationships between component primary colours that can be used to produce particular shades. The same three dyes can be used to dye nylon as well as wool, however the colours produced on nylon are not exactly the same as those on wool. If mixtures of wool and nylon are dyed together then special auxiliaries are required to obtain an even depth of shade on the both the wool and the nylon. This is because nylon will adsorb acid dyes to a greater extent than wool. Equipment: AHIBA Laboratory dyeing machine. Sample: 15 x 10g samples of woollen fabric. 15 x 5g samples of nylon fabric Dyes Required: Telon Yellow FG Telon Red FRL Telon Blue BRL Preparation of the Dye: Prepare a 1% solution of each of the above dyes by dissolving 1g of dyestuff into 100 ml of water. First dissolve the dye into 50 ml of warm water, heat on the hot plate to complete solution then make up to 100 ml with cold water. Dyeing Method: 1. Set the dyebath at 50C at a liquor ratio of 40:1 with 3.0% sulphuric acid 5.0% sodium sulphate 2. Add the wetted out fabric and circulate for 3 minutes, check the pH using pH papers. pH should be 2.5-3.5, adjust if necessary. 3. Add the required amount of dissolved dyes to each bath and circulate for 2-3 minutes. 4. Raise the temperature to 98C over 30 minutes and maintain at this temperature for 30 minutes. 5. Remove the dyeings, rinse in warm water then cold water.

    Construct a colour triangle using the following dye concentrations.

    COLOUR TRIANGLE
    TELON YELLOW FG 1.0% 0.75% YELLOW 0.25% RED 0.5% YELLOW 0.5% RED 0.25% YELLOW 0.75% RED 0.75% YELLOW 0.25% BLUE 0.5% YELLOW 0.25% RED 0.25% BLUE 0.25% YELLOW 0.5% RED 0.25% BLUE 0.5% RED 0.5% BLUE 0.5% YELLOW 0.5% BLUE 0.25% YELLOW 0.75% BLUE

    0.25% YELLOW 0.25% RED 0.5% BLUE 0.25% RED 0.75% BLUE

    1.0% TELON RED FRL

    Question 1: At what point in the dyeing cycle would you regard that a state of equilibrium has been reached? Question 2: State in broad terms the extent to which exhaustion has taken place at the end of the dyeing process i.e. excellent, very good etc., etc. Question 3. If there is any unlevelness in your dyeings can you explain how it might have occurred? Question 4: What would you expect to happen to the exhaustion if 10% sodium sulphate had been used in the dyeings. If 20% sodium sulphate had been used what differences would you expect to see. Question 5: In examination of the exhausted dyebaths do any of the liquors appear to contain a proportionately higher amount of any one dye? In the three dye combination do the dyes strike at the same rate? Question 6: By reference to the Bayer pattern card, what procedure should be used for shading or making dyestuff additions? Question 7: If a batch of fabric comes up unlevel or is too dark, what is the initial treatment that can be applied with acid levelling dyes to correct these faults?
