To Save energy and cost, one bath/one step dyeing and finishing on cotton/polyester blends is carried out with disperse dyes in the presence of cross linking agent.

To Save energy and cost, one bath/one step dyeing and finishing on cotton/polyester blends is carried out with disperse dyes in the presence of cross linking agent.
Cotton 100 %, cotton/polyester 70/30, 50/50, 35/65, polyester 100 % fabrics were used. wrinkle recovery angle, tensile strength retention and tearing strength retention were determined in according to the dye bath composition, and also determined while the concentration of DMDHEU, molecular weight and concenteration of PEG were varied. Colorfastness to abrasion, washing and light were tested.
For cotton and cotton/polyester blends dyed in the presence of DMDHEU/PEG, wrinkle recovery was improved. Tensile strength retention and tearing strength retention were decreased, in compared with dyed fabrics without DMDHEU. Colorfastness to abrasion was good but colorfastness to washing and to light were poor for the fabrics dyed in the presence of DMDHEU/PEG.
