Abstract

Wool/acrylic blends were dyed with a hemicyanine reactive cationic dye, Dye 1, to prepare the fluorescent wool/acrylic blends in this article. The study initially focuses on the optical properties of Dye 1, followed by dyeing properties of Dye 1, then ended with fluorescent properties of the dyed wool/acrylic blends. The results show that the exhaustion, fixation, and fastness to washing and rubbing of Dye 1 on wool, acrylic, and wool/acrylic blend were good throughout. The dyed wool/acrylic blends can emit obvious fluorescence. In addition, according to the EN-1150 standard (1999), the chromaticity of dyed wool/acrylic blends meet the requirements of fluorescent pink when the dye concentrations are suitable.
