Practical aplication of reinforcement remazol dyes on cotton material using fixation abu ash and amylum

Remazol is a synthetic dye from chemicals. Remazol can be used by dyeing, dripping or quenching. This dyestuff has water soluble properties, has brilliant colors with good fastness, low affinity. In the coloring process, color requires a fixation process. Fixation process, as a binder or reinforcement so that the color does not fade. Fixation is done with Na2CO3 or soda ash. soda ash or also known as Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, is a sodium salt of carbonic acid which is easily soluble in air, white powder. soda ash can be used as a reinforcement for reactive type dye batik. By adding soda ash to a reactive dye solution or remazol, this automatic dye can become strong and not fade. After the soda ash fixation process is added starch which has the function to glue the fabric to the dye so that it is strong and does not easily wear off.
