There are lots of key and slight problems of textile dyeing industries such as shade variation or dyeing faults and establishment of hue spots on the cloth external through coloring and downstream treating of textiles materials. Such problems in the delivery quality of fabric are generally attacked through a Hydrose and Caustic chemical stripping process which is a common practice in dyeing industries for the medium to dark shade batches. However, reactive dyes cannot be stripped satisfactorily

... from cellulosic materials due to the development of co-valent bonds between dye and fiber. This research was undertaken using 1.5% and 3% reactive dyes on R.F.D cotton fabric and dye sample stripping was carried out in different time and Temperature alkali reductive stripping process. The main objective of the work was to find the best stripping quality of cotton fabric. To find out the Strength loss, weight loss, and pilling resistance of stripped fabric were considered. When the increase of Time, temperature & concentration (Hydrose & Caustic) of stripping chemicals, the stripping percentages were improved; if stripping chemicals, processing time and temperature will much higher than the fibre or fabric damage will be occurred. So, we need to select optimum or suitable stripping Chemical, time and temperature.
