1. DYING OF ARAMID FIBRES
BY: MUDDASSAR HASSAN
ROLL NO. 85
2. What are aramid fibers
These are also called aromatic polyamides
Those polyamides,which have aromatic six
carbon rings in polymeric chain
3. Main types of aramid fibers
Technora (made by Teijin of Japan)
Conex (made by Teijin)
Kevler (made by Dupont)
Nomex (made by Dupont)
4. Good Qualities of fibers
Good heat resistance
High tenacity & modulus of rigidity
Non flammability
Greater sticking temperature
Aramid dominate over glass fibers,and
carbon fibers in all over the world market
Stiffest &Toughest than even carbon and
steel
5. High modulus five times greater than
polyester
Excellent in tension
Good chemical resistance
Compactness and solidity of molecular
structure
In dry air,at 260C Aramid shrink only 2%
By Sputter etching, depth of shade
increased considerably
6. DISADVENTAGES
No substantivity to dyes
No environment friendly
Poor UV resistance
Rapid loss of strength with flexing ,folding
&flogging
Low light fastness,even spun dyed yarn
Very expensive
Poor in compression than glass

15. Using no career
Temperature of dying range of 80 to 100C
16. Approaches to improve
dyebility of aramid fibers
More polar solvent
Pretreatment of liquid ammonia
Using benzyl alcohol as carrier
17. Pretreatment with liquid
ammonia
Pretreatment fibers with liquid
ammonia,substantivity towards basic dye
increase quite significantly
Condition of pretreatment process
Immersing 2.5g m-aramid in 100ml liquid
ammonia
Time 10 min &at 40 C
Rinsing with hot and cold water
18. Dependence of light fastness properties on
pretreatment & dyeing procedure
CI Basic fastness to light
A B C
Yellow 28 3 3-4 4-5
Orange 22 1 3 4
Red46 1 2 3
Red29 1 4 4-5
Blue 49 1 3-4 3-4
A : Without pretreatment, dyed without career
B : Without pretreatment,dyed with 70 gl benzyl alcohol
C : Pretretment with liquid ammonia,dyed without
carrier
19. Conclusion
Pretreatment of aramid fibers with liquid
ammonia can not only increase substantivity for
basic dyes,but also light fastness properties, as
comparing with those of fibers dyed
conventionally with basic dyes using career
benzyl alcohol
20. Effect of polar solvent on dyebility of
aramid fiber
These are three high polar solvents
Dimethyl formamide
Dimethyl acetate
Dimethyl sulfoide
These solvents provide chemical energy to
fibers,permitting rearrangement of the polymer
chain through breakage and reformation of
interchain hydrogen bonding
21. Factor of changing solvent diffusion in
nomex fiber
1)Molecular volume
Mol vol = Mol.wtr * 10 24N
Where r is density
N is Avogedro number
2)Temperature of corresponding to onset of
shrinkage.
22. Exhaust dyeing of treated
nomex yarns
Exhaustion of CIBB54 at 100C
At 30 min
Attaining max degree of structural modification
Order of increasing exhaustion rate
DMF<DMAc<DMSO
In DMF,90% of dye liquor being exhausted after
4hours
In DMAc&DMSO leads to very rapid exhaustion
95% of dye liquor being exhausted in 45 minutes
23. Untreated yarns dyed according to commercial
dying procedure in presence of Dymex career
resulted in low exhaution45% of dye liquor
Temperature dependence of exhaustion
rate
With DMF A slight decrease in rate occurs when
treatment temperature decreases from 100 to 50C
Considerable larger decrease in rate occurs on
reducing temp of treatment to further to 40C
With DMAc major change in exhaustion rate
occurs between samples treated at 82.2&75C
24. Influence of treatment time on
exhaustion rate
An increase in treatment time, leads to faster
exhaustion rate
Temp from 30 sec to 30 min,solvent diffusion
And polymer interaction are considerably faster
But exhaustion rate is unaffected
Structural modification changes also depends on
treatment time
25. Conclusion
Optimum condition of dying 100c and 30
minutes then substrate is readily dyeable in
atmosphere pressure
After solvent treatment ,loss of polymer chain
orientation and or formation of void takes place
Solvent treated fabric leads to attain greater
dyebility at expense of initial modulus and tensile
strength
Elimination of larger amount of careers
26. Lower dyeing temperature and shorter dyeing
time (significant benefit)
27. Effect of varying liquid ammonia pretreatment time

29. Influence of sputter etching in
shade of dyed fabrics
The aramid fabric Technora dyed with CI
Disperse54 etc, are treated by sputter etching and
argon low-temperature plasma
Sputter etching is effective I increasing color
depth of dyed Technora
As a decrease of L* for blue and red dyeing and
considerable increase in C*for all three colors
These effects on dyed Technora are slightly less
with low temperature plasma treatment
30. No significant effect on CONEX FABRIC
Basic purpose of sputter etching is to
produce deeper shade deeper and or more
vivid colors on dyed aramid fabric without
actually increasing concentration dye
Technora caused by sputter etching is
thought to be due to formation of
Microcrates during treatment that severely
restrict the reflection of incident light
31. Name of device used for sputter etching,
Shinku-kiku RFS-200
Depth of shade is measured with colorEye
