Coloration of Pure Polypropylene Fiber with Super Hydrophobic Dyes; Application of Anthraquinone Derivatives with linear Alkyl Substituents

Coloration of Pure Polypropylene Fiber with Super Hydrophobic Dyes; Application of Anthraquinone Derivatives with linear Alkyl Substituents

Polypropylene fiber was dyed with 4 super hydrophobic dyes having different alkyl derivatives on the same chromophore. Double-tailed cationic surfactant, didodecyldimethylammonium bromide(DDAB), was used to make dye-dispersant complex to improve the dispersion of dyes. As the alkyl groups are longer and the hydrophobicity is increased, the dyeability onto polypropylene fiber was improved and deep coloration was obtained. As for the fastness properties, wash fastness was relatively good, while light fastness was bit low.
