Abstract

Environmental concerns are becoming increasingly significant, and there is a movement to restrict the usage of harmful products. Consumers, like the textile industry, prefer natural dyes cloth over synthetic dyes. The purpose of this research is to identify natural dyes components derived from natural dyes. Indigo, Turmeric, Madder and Terminalia, Cassia singueana Plant, and Stink bean pod (PARKIA SPECIOSA HASSK.) on silk fabrics, and Synthetic Dyes as a reactive dye as well as to assess the quality of silk dyed with natural dyes. The natural dyes were then applied to the silk and then performed testing the quality of the silk color. The results revealed that natural dyes primarily generate pastel hues, According to the quality test, all-natural dyes have a poor resistance to washing at 40o C and a poor fade resistance to acid sweat, but they perform well against bases perspiration. It may be determined that all silk colored with natural dyes has better tensile strength than uncolored silk.
