Abstract

Unmodified linen fabrics were cationized by reaction with two different commercial cationizing agents, CHTAC (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) and PAQAC (polyaminochlorohydrin quaternary ammonium salt with epoxide functionality). The uncationized and cationized linen fabrics were dyed with four different reactive dyes with the cold pad batch dyeing method. The fastness properties of the dyed, cationized linen fabrics were evaluated.
