Natural Dying On Lyocell
Analyse
As a technical manager, my role involved investigating the environmental impact of a product, specifically jogging pants. The investigation focused on evaluating the significant impacts arising from raw material production, product manufacturing, transportation, and product consumption. To measure and assess these processes, Modint eco tools were utilized.
My responsibilities included interpreting the test results to identify areas for improvement in the selected choices or technical processes. The ultimate aim was to choose the most optimized combination of product quality and environmental footprint for the jogging pants. This involved making informed decisions to minimize the ecological impact while ensuring the highest quality standards were met, creating a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly product for consumers.
Testing & E-lab journal
The experiment aimed to compare the color shading of fabrics dyed with synthetic dye and natural dye from galls. Both lyocell and cotton knitted fabrics were used for this purpose. After the dyeing process, the dyed samples underwent wash fastness, perspiration, and crocking tests. The quality of color shading was discussed to determine how different it was before and after each color fastness testing.
The primary objectives were to:
-
Investigate the differences in color shading between fabrics dyed with synthetic and natural dyes from galls.
-
Assess the impact of color fastness testing (wash fastness, perspiration, and crocking) on the quality of color shading in the dyed samples.
By conducting these experiments and evaluations, valuable insights could be gained regarding the colorfastness and durability of the dyes, helping to make informed decisions on the selection and application of dyes for future fabric dyeing processes.
The shade of color was investigated using the 'Icolour' tool. This tool likely helped in accurately measuring and quantifying the color properties of the dyed samples, enabling a precise analysis of the color shading differences between fabrics dyed with synthetic and natural dyes from galls on both lyocell and cotton knitted fabrics. The 'Icolour' tool could have provided objective and standardized data, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of the color characteristics and assisting in the comparison of color shading before and after the color fastness testing.
The experiment's findings, methodology, results, and sources were published as an e-lab journal on the blog. This e-lab journal likely served as a comprehensive report, making the research accessible to a broader audience. The publication allowed readers to gain insights into the investigation's objectives, the approach taken to conduct the experiment, the outcomes obtained, and the references used to support the study. By sharing the experiment through an e-lab journal on the blog, it provided an online platform for others in the field to access and potentially build upon the research findings.
