APPLICATION PROPERTIES OF ETHYL BENZOATE: ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY DYEING CARRIER FOR POLYESTER FIBER

Chang Guan, Yu-Ying Zhou, Qun Liu

ABSTRACT:This paper uses ethyl benzoate emulsion as dyeing carrier to low temperature dyeing of polyester fiber, inspected the effect of benzyl benzoate on the application properties of polyester fabrics and disperse dyes. Using the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) method was used to demonstrate that ethyl benzoate as a dyeing carrier had no significant effect on the stability of polyester fibers. Through the effect of the carrier on dye transfer role of dyed fabrics and dyeing rate curves of the Disperse blue 2BLN is investigated. The results show that ethyl benzoate has obvious solubilization and promotion effect on Disperse blue 2BLN.The shade and color fastness of dyed fabric with ethyl benzoate carrier are similar to those with high temperature and high-pressure process and with menthyl salicylate process.
