Study on the Effect of Natural dyes and Synthetic dyes on Textile Fabric

Natural dyes are very useful for dyeing textile fibre. Natural dyes have been used for long back. In the Mughal regime, it was found that natural dyes were used to dye textile materials. Starting from the Muslin to the household textiles the use of natural dyes was significant. For more than a hundred years, it was evident that synthetic dyes become popular for dyeing textile material. Natural dyes for jamdani sarees are not easily available in Bangladesh. These dyes are imported from outside of Bangladesh and for this reason, this type of dyes is not available in the local market. But at the same time, the risk of using synthetic dyes is high for human health because of cause different health hazards like breathing problems, skin diseases and skin cancer. Compared to synthetic dyes natural dyes are not easily available and they are costly at the same time. The unavailability of natural dyes made the use of synthetic dyes more popular among the manufacturers of textile products. Though natural dyes are sustainable, due to unavailability and high cost it is hindering the acceptance to use natural dyes. In this study, it was evident that natural dyes normally have significant eco-friendly properties especially the absence of banned amines compared to synthetic dyes. It was found that synthetic dyes have banned amines.
