Abstract :

As today’s fashion environment, the most scientific and advanced level of dyeing are used in various ways. Upon, many processes are used to do coloration. In this manner, dyeing is a process which is applying directly on the fiber, yarn or faic without any additives. Based on these, the proposed method is developed for coloration/ dyeing in faic using natural resource. In this proposed work, the natural dyes are extracted from Tecomastans flower with the help of alum mordant and then the extracted natural dyes are applied into the faic which is 100% pure cotton knitted. After dyeing process, the proposed work can be helped to analyze the properties of the dyeing. The main motive of the work is done an antibacterial activity of natural dyes using Staphylococcus Aureus (S.aureus) and Escherichia Coli (E.coli). In the antibacterial test of the natural dyes, the S.aureus is produced good results than E.coli.
