PENGARUH ZAT FIKSASI TERHADAP KETAHANAN LUNTUR WARNA PADA PROSES PENCELUPAN KAIN KAPAS DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN ZAT WARNA DARI LIMBAH KAYU JATI

Abstract

Abstract: The Use of Fixation Agent on Faded-Colour Resistancy in Cotton Dipping Process by Using Colour Extract from the Waste of Kayu Jati. The waste of kayu jati saw dust can be used to colour the cotton fabric. The fixation agent as colour generator can be used in fabric dipping process. The extract of lotus tree (air tunjung) as fixation agent has its impact on faded-colour resistancy. A fine resistance can be produced by various content of lous tree extract (air tunjung). This research uses air tunjung as fixator in various concentration and it is tested by rubbing and washing to obtain the best colour resistancy. The result shows that (1) the waste of kayu jati can be used as colouring agent for cotton fabric; (2) 30 gr/ltr concentration of air tunjung as fixation agent and colour generator has produced a fine colour resistancy.
