Surface Chemical Analysis of CI Leuco Sulfur Black 1 Dyed Cotton Fabric Sequentially after-treated with Cationic Fixing Agent and Tannin

Quratulain Mohtashim et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that sequential cation-tannin after-treatment on sulfur dyed cotton fabric can improve the oxidative washing resistance against perborate-based laundering regimes. In this investigation, cotton fabric dyed with C.I. Sulfur Black 1 was after-treated with a cationic fixing agent (Tinofix ECO) and tannin-based product (Bayprotect CL) and then laundered with ISO 105 C09 washing protocol. Surface functional groups and elemental composition were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to compare visual changes with chemical changes. After-treated and laundered dyeings had higher surface sulfur content and lower surface oxidation compared to untreated dyeings, as shown by reduced over-oxidized sulfur species at 168 eV in the S (2p) spectra. The effect of laundering and surface modification on sulfur dye was related to K/S and % color loss analysis.
