Abstract
In the past two decades, worldwide interest in the natural dyes obtained from plants has rapidly increased, and a diversity of health and environmental benefits were found or argued for the practice. Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum, which their chemical compounds makes them suitable for the application in dyeing process. The important essential chemical constituents of clove include acetyl eugenol, beta-caryophyllene, vanillin, crategolic acid, gallotannic acid, and methyl salicylate. In this study, clove as the plant-derived dyestuff was used for dyeing the wool yarns to be investigated the effects of the different dyeing parameters including dyeing methods, acid and mordant type, and concentration and dyeing temperature in the yielded dyeing. The dyeing capability of the samples at different concentrations and temperatures was investigated using the spectrophotometer method and Beer–Lambert law. The results show that applying high concentrations of dyestuffs resulting the maximum dyeing ability of the samples at 60 °C. At the low amount of dyestuff concentrations, the increase in temperature from 30 to 80°C showed no significant difference in the dyeing ability of the samples. The use of different mordant created different shades such as yellow, brown, and dark gray. Furthermore, it was proved that using the 80% (weight of dye/weight of wool yarn) dyestuff through the Metachrome process would yield the optimal conditions for dyeing the wool yarn with the clove dyestuff. Finally, although the type of acid used did not affect the resulted shade, it affected the amount of exhaustion the wool yarns.
