Process Development for Dyeing Linen Fabric with Mangifera Indica Leaves

The present study was undertaken to judge the colourfastness properties of linen fabric dyed with Mangifera indica leaves, mordanted with natural mordants- Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica and Phyllanthus emblica. The dyeing process was carried out according to the optimized conditions. The samples were evaluated for their colourfastness. The fastness properties of linen fabric dyed with Mangifera indica exhibited good colourfastness towards light, washing, rubbing and perspiration.
