Abstract

Cotton is one of the most popular natural fibers around the globe with the purest source of cellulose. Cotton fiber is often dyed to obtain a wide range of colors and provide an integral component in modern society for human comfort and sustainability. Dyeing is the process associated with the coloring of fiber, yarn and fabric using different types of chemicals and dyes. Color is an essential aspect of our lifestyle and dyeing is the process to achieve that in the desired way. For the dyeing of the cotton substrate, different dyes like reactive, vat, sulfur, azoic, basic and natural dyes can be used. During dyeing, the dye molecules get attached to the fiber by various physical and chemical forces depending upon their molecular structure. There have been various developments in dyeing methods and relative machinery over the years to achieve optimum dyeing of the textile substrate in different forms. This chapter gives a brief overview of different dyes used for cotton fiber and yarn with suitable dyeing techniques and relative machinery.
