Abstract
A study has been carried out to correlate the wet fastness properties of dyed knitted fabrics, derived from both poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(lactic acid) (Ingeo) fibres, with the thermal migration properties of the disperse dyes during heat treatment. The results indicate a greater amount of disperse dye at the surface of the Ingeo fibre fabric than the poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabric, after post heat‐setting using the conditions needed for fabric stabilisation, correlating well with its slightly lower wash fastness properties.Keywords
