- Abstract
Indigo dyed denim garment washing has recently become an essential method for creating stylish products of leisure wear. To achieve different fading effects and an aesthetic look, several techniques are used. In this research, acid wash was performed in the presence of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) (0.5-2.5gm/l) to obtain better fading effect as well as physical properties and draw a conclusion of optimize acid amount. Owing to the change in acid concentration, variations in the fabric's physical and mechanical properties like strength, weight loss, GSM, EPI, PPI, dimensional stability and absorbency were observed. In addition, color abrasion values such as Color Measurement Committee (CMC), Color strength (K/S), yellowness, whiteness values as well as color fastness properties of the treated fabrics were also assessed evaluated. According to the results of the experiments, 2gm/l phosphoric acid was the most successful in stripping dyes from denim fabric, resulting in an excellent acid washing action with the least amount of fiber hydrolysis.
