Abstract

This research aimed to Keep pace with the global approach to achieving environmentally friendly industries. and Shed light on chlorophyll dye and the possibility of using it in dyeing textile fibers.

The criteria for nations' progress will be measured by how far the environment is not polluted in them. Thus, competition has increased in using environment-friendly dyes and scientific research has become interested in this industry and working on developing and improving it.

So, this work used: 100% Cotton fabric, Natural green dye extracted from the Melia Azedarach plant; two types of mordants

The color stability for washing, rubbing, and perspiration has shown that the greatest values were given when dying fabrics using the pre-mordanting process, as well as the post-mordanting process; using both concentrations and both mordants. As for light color stability, the highest value was given when using a dying concentration of 20gm using the Ferrous Sulfate mordant, this was when using the pre-mordanting process, and also the post-mordanting process.

As for elongation, elongation was recorded in the direction of the weft using pre-mordanting at both concentrations and with both mordants to the standard sample, and for the elongation in the direction of the wrap.

The research recommends that:

We must step directly to using modern natural dyes extracted from plants and algae and mixing between them to reach new color degrees and shades that are environmentally safe and achieve product quality.

Therefore, green dyes are the optimal choice for a safe environment.
