Abstract

This study aims to apply Terminalia bellirica, Ceriop condolleana, Cudrania javanensis, and Pelthopherum pterocarpum as textile dyes to cotton and silk fabrics. The experimental method was carried out to utilize the waste of Terminalia bellirica, Ceriop condolleana, Cudrania javanensis, and Pelthopherum pterocarpum as natural dyes using alum, lime, and ferrous sulphate fixations. The fixation values of alum, lime, and ferrous sulphate using natural dyes were at level 3 (good) on cotton and level 4 (very good) on silk.
