Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The popularity of Sustainable clothing is increasing day by day. Consumers are more interested to consider sustainable clothing design on their daily basis fashion but it is expensive to produce sustainable clothing, as there are less availability of natural fiber. Banana fiber is highly available and it can be a great source of sustainable clothing to meet the consumer demand and banana fiber can be a replacement of cotton fibre. The aim of this project work is to observe the dye ability of banana fiber with synthetic dyes such as vat, acid, basic and reactive dyes were studied. Before dyeing, scouring and bleaching of banana fiber was done and whiteness index was measured. Finally after dyeing, color fastness to wash, color fastness to rubbing was examined.

Program Area: Resource Development and Management

Commodity: Banana

Objectives:

In this study, the banana fiber was extracted from the stem of banana plant and then dyed with synthetic dyes. Finally, the dyed sample was evaluated according to standard testing methods.

Methodology:

A. Fiber Banana tree was collected from local village in Chittagong, Bangladesh and fiber was extracted from the tree by manual method.

B. Dyes, Chemicals and Auxiliaries There are four dyes i.e. reactive, vat dye, acid dye, basic dye were used here. All the dyes used in this study were collected from the laboratory of Port City International University, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Other chemicals such as sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium carbonate etc. were collected from local market.

A. Fiber Extraction Initially the banana plant sections were cut from the main stem of the plant and then rolled lightly to remove the excess moisture. Impurities in the rolled fibres such as pigments, broken fibres, coating of cellulose etc. were removed manually by means of comb, and then the fibres were cleaned and dried

B. Scouring and Bleaching The samples were scoured and bleached to make suitable for the next processes. According to the following recipe banana fiber was pretreated and make ready for dyeing.

C. Dyeing of Banana Fiber with Various Dyes In this project work, 1.5% dye concentration was applied on scoured-bleached banana fiber. Then the fibers were dyed by using sample dyeing machine where the liquor ratio was 1:20 for the mentioned dye concentration as the following the recipe of Table 2. The pH of the dye bath was adjusted by soda ash and acetic acid for different dyes. After dyeing, we took the fibre for after treatment. Finally, samples were squeezed and dried.

Achievement/Findings:

The shade and fastness properties obtained by synthetic dye shows that it is possible to dye banana fiber with synthetic dyes. Color fastness to wash and color fastness to rubbing was very good for every dyes used in this study. However, it has been shown that sample dyed with reactive, vat and basic dyes gave better wash fastness compared to direct dyes. Color fastness to rubbing for the four samples was excellent. From the above discussion, it can be recommended that vat, reactive and basic dyes might be suitable dyes for dyeing banana fibre for bulk production.
