Abstract

The environmental effects of the textile industry, as well as the use of raw materials and natural resources, are quickly becoming top priorities. It is no longer sufficient to have a completed product that is simply safe for humans; the product must also be ecologically safe throughout its full life cycle. The study aims to get environment-friendly printing on silk fabrics by a new thickener based on s-triazine di-sulfanilic xanthan for reactive printing of double-sided designs on silk fabric and Printing properties of a novel nitrogen-free urea replacement in reactive dye silk printing.
