What is the effect of temperature on nylon fiber dyeing?

2020-06-23 3542

Nylon is a thermoplastic fiber. Therefore, the dyeing rate of fibers is closely related to temperature, and the dyeing temperature must be higher than the glass transition temperature of fibers (35-50 ° C). Nylon fibers begin to adsorb dyes at 40 ° C, and as the temperature increases, the dyeing rate accelerates. By 100 ° C, the dyeing process can basically begin, although dyeing can improve significantly at 100 ° C.

Some researchers believe that the dye uptake of nylon fibers dyed with acidic dyes is related to temperature. When the temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature, the mobility of the large molecular chains in the fiber is enhanced, and the fiber opens, allowing the dye to penetrate the fiber and react with the terminal amino cations. However, if the heating rate is not well controlled, uneven dyeing may occur.
