ENHANCING THE DYEING PERFORMANCE OF COTTON WITH CURCUMIN: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MORDANT TYPES AND APPLICATION METHODS

Ukanah, S.P.*, salisu Z. M., Shitu, U.M, Gadimoh S., Suleiman A. M, Gero, M., Chibuzo- Anakor, N.C., Umar, I.S, Oddy-Obi, I.O., Daniel, D.

Curcumin, a natural dye derived from turmeric, faces limitations in cotton dyeing due to its poor fibre affinity and inadequate fastness properties. This study systematically evaluates the enhancement of curcumin dyeing performance on cotton using three metallic mordants (alum, ferrous sulphate, and potassium dichromate) applied through pre-, meta-...
