A comparison of Physical Properties between Plain and Madder Dyed Khadi Cotton Fabric using Harda as a Mordant

Abstract Any dyed khadi cotton fabric has more acceptance than plain khadi cotton fabric. But as we compare synthetic dye with natural dye, synthetic dye is harmful to human skin. Among these in this study madder is a natural dye with harda as mordant. Due to application of madder on plain khadi cotton fabric leads to change in their physical properties. Breaking strength, tearing strength, crease recovery and bending strength these physical properties studied in this research. Increase, decrease or stabled changes in physical properties was observed. In this way physical properties of plain khadi cotton fabric and dyed khadi cotton fabric compared in this research study.
