Abstract

Fabric pests are insects that feed on and damage natural fibers such as wool fabric. Insects are the only animals capable of digesting keratin. One type of insects responsible for serious damage of the usual protein wool fabric is called hide beetle Dermestes maculatus. In this research, a novel mothproofing procedure is introduced through dyeing of protein wool fabric with madder as environmental friendly dye. The wool fabrics were first mordanted with aluminum sulfate and then dyed with madder as both colorant and mothproof agent. The mothproofing properties of control, alum-mordanted, and madder-dyed wool samples were evaluated statistically. Mothproofing was assessed through the study of damages on wool surface by the larvae of hide beetle, D. maculatus, as feeding protein fibers and wool weight loss (%) were measured. The damage intensity of wool fabric surface was confirmed with scanning electron microscopy images. Further, the analysis of variance was utilized to obtain the optimum conditions for mothproofing. Also, reflectance and absorbance of wool samples were reported. Overall the experimental results indicated that the madder-dyed protein wool has highest protection against D. maculatus in comparison with control and alum-mordanted wool.
