Abstract:

In this study, Mulberry silk fabric samples were successfully dyed with reactive dye for 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 shade% using polyacrylamide as exhausting
agent. Same Mulberry silk fabric samples were dyed with same reactive dye for same shade% using common salt as exhausting agent. Comparison
between fabric samples of corresponding shade% showed that the samples dyed with polyacrylamide exhaustion method are slightly lighter in color.
Washing and rubbing fastness tests showed that the fastness of both type of samples are very good and they are quite comparable to each other.
