The impact of the use of different mordantt types on the ecoprint dyeing using tegeran (Cudraina javanensis) dye on primisima fabric

Abstract

The purposes of this study are (1) to determine the effect of mordantt tawas, tunjung, and tannins on the ecoprint dyeing result using tegeran (cudraina javanensis) dye on primisima fabrics (2) to find the best results in ecoprint dyeing using different types of mordantt including the pattern clarity, colour sharpness, colour fairness, and colour absorption. The method of this research is experimental. The independent variables are mordantt tawas, tunjung and tannins. The dependent variables are the ecoprint dyeing results including the pattern clarity, colour sharpness, colour fairness, and colour absorption. The control variables are tegeran (cudraina javanensis) dye, mordantting technique, and primisima fabric. The data of the study were collected by using observation. Based on the test of pattern clarity, colour sharpness, colour fairness, and colour absorption, the best ecoprint treatment is shown in sample C, which is the ecoprint treatment using mordantt tunjung on the main fabric, tegeran (cudraina javanensis) dye on the blanket, and mordantt tawas in the fixation.
