ABOUT THE BOOK 

Fundamentals and Practices in Colouration of Textiles is a comprehensive technical manual that bridges the gap between the chemical theory of dyes and their industrial application. Written by J.N. Chakraborty, the book is a staple for textile engineering students and professionals in the processing industry.

It covers the entire spectrum of textile coloration, including:

• Pre-treatment Processes: Desizing, scouring, and bleaching.

• Dyeing Theory: Thermodynamics and kinetics of dyeing, including the "Affinity" of dyes for different fibers.

• Dye Classes: Detailed study of Reactive, Disperse, Vat, Acid, and Direct dyes.

• Machinery: Evolution of dyeing machines from manual vats to high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) jet dyeing machines.

• Quality Control: Color measurement, matching, and fastness testing.
