In this study we used ultrasonic technology as a means of
enhancing dyeing process efficiency of polyester fibers with
disperse dyes, which had frequency 42kHz and, we studied the
behavior of dye when the polyester dyed with (US) and with
traditional dyeing methods (without US).
In this study, samples of cotton fabric were dyed using direct dye
by the traditional method as well as using microwave energy at
different energy levels. It was noted that the use of microwave
energy increase the dye exhaustion at the used energy
levels
compared to the traditional method, as well as improving the
fastness to washing and wet rubbing.
