Resist and Discharge Printing Techniques on Different Textile Based Materials

Abstract

A substantial contribution to environmental contamination are the different procedures employed in the textile sector, so there are several initiatives to decrease pollution via using natural dyes or other natural auxiliaries in the textile wetting processes such as:-Discharge printing of polyester fabric using Thiourea Dioxide, Discharge printing of cotton and Silk fabrics dyed by turmeric natural dye, Discharge Printing of Denim Using Potassium Permanganate as Oxidative Agent, Application of Resist Printing using Flour of Wild Taro as a natural resist printing agent for Printing of Silk Fabric and resist printing of cotton fabrics using chitosan as a resist agent.

An Overview of Printing Textile Techniques

“…[2] The use of colour through dyeing and printing procedures has also played a significant part in all civilizations. [3,4] The Colouration of fabric becomes a major process in the production of textile material. [5] Textile printing is an old art form that dates back thousands of years.…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12] It is also the process of mixing a design concept, one or more colours, and a substrate (usually textiles) with a natural or synthetic thickener, while applying a technique to correctly apply the colours. [4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The main objective of printing is to create colourful patterns with sharp borders on textile fabrics without any dye spilling beyond the design motif's borders. [27] Textile printing is defined as a regulated technique of colouring cloth in specific patterns or motifs by employing specialized printing techniques and machinery.…”

“…[27] Resist printing style gets its name from the fact that the cloth is printed with a compound that it is used to inhibit dye absorption on cloth by preventing dye penetration or fixing. [4,7,10] Resist printing is a printing technique in which the pre-treated cloth is first printed with the resist agent and then coloured by dyeing. [12,27] Only the areas that are not coated with resistant paste will be affected by a dye, resulting in a pattern on a colourful background.…”

“…[12,27] Only the areas that are not coated with resistant paste will be affected by a dye, resulting in a pattern on a colourful background. [4,28,48] A multicolour pattern can be made by placing a paste containing a material resistant to second dye on already coloured cloth. [28] Resist printing, in which some portions of the fabric are initially coated with waxes or other compounds in order to prevent colouring by printing pastes or inks and prevent the fixation of cloth, however in the case of resist printing , the cloth is first printed with a resist agent and then coloured.…”

A valuable observation on natural plants extracts for Valuable Functionalization of Cotton fabric (an overview)

“…Recently, both academic research and textile industrial product production have been stepped up to pursue safe dyeing and finishing technologies, using plant waste and non-food plant extracts. [77][78][79][80][81][82][83] Nowadays, there is also a strong demand for textiles dependent on eco-friendly agents that not only help to significantly mitigate the harmful effects associated with using synthetic agents on textile fabrics, but also conform to the regulatory agencies' legislative requirements.…”
