ABSTRACT
Ultrasonic (US) energy has revolutionized the dyeing process by introducing the cost and energy
effective tools for textile processing. The objective of this research was to use ultrasonic waves as
eco-friendly technique to enhance the dyeing process of polyester fabric using disperse red. The fabrics
and dye solutions were exposed to ultrasonic waves for 10-60 min. at 60ºC. It was found that 40 min.
is the optimal treatment time for fabric to get good colour strength using untreated Disperse Red 343.
Whereas good colour strength was obtained by dyeing US treated fabric using non US treated dye solution
for 30 min. keeping M:L of 1:60 at pH 10 of dyeing bath. At these conditions not only leveled dyeing was
achieved but the good colour fastness characteristics were achieved. It is found that ultrasonic radiation
has a great potential to improve the dyeing beahviour of polyester fabric using Disperse Red343 dye.
