Abstract
A polyamine crosslinking dye has been synthesized and applied to silk and cotton using crosslinking agents 2-chloro-4,6-di(amino-benzene-4'-β-sulfatoethylsulfone)-1,3,5- s-triazine and 2,4-dichloro-6-(aminobenzene-4'-β-sulfatoethylsulone)-1,3,5- s-triazine, respectively. The effect of pH, temperature and concentration of crosslinker on fixation of the dye has been discussed in detail. The fixation of this polyamine dye reached near 100 % and the dyeings were fast to dimethylformamide at the boil. This indicated that the dye fixation was achieved by covalent bonding with the crosslinking agent, which acted as a bridge between the fiber and the dye molecules. The dyed samples showed excellent fastness to washing and rubbing.
