Abstract

The Soybean Protein Fibre (SPF) has good empathy to human skin. The natural colour of Soybean fibre is light yellow, and it mostly resembles the colour of silk. With good fastness to light and moisture, it also has more dyeing brilliance and dyeing fastness than silk. The Soybean Protein Fibre (SPF) is regenerated protein fibre with various applications in textiles because of its unique properties. Though, due to the lack of antibacterial properties of such protein comprising polymers, it is detained as drawback for its applications on hygienic textiles. Hence it is essential to make it antibacterial. On the other side, a lot of marigold flowers which is antibacterial by nature, is used in Idol worship causes a huge rate of temple waste. There is incredible prospective to make use of those wastes as a good source of natural dye that is eco-friendly. A study says that the tannin mordant was obtained from the seed coats of tamarind, amla and harda and their application in natural dyeing by means of temple waste marigold as a dye was carried out. Marigold dyeing by using most available alum mordant was also carried out for association of the purpose. After dyeing the SPF fabrics with these mordants, it was evaluated for antibacterial activities, colour brilliance, fastness properties as well as durability of the same. The results clearly suggested the advantages of using such mordants are beneficial in case of achieving antibacterial functionality as well as eco-friendly dyeing..
