Title StatementThe feasibility and effectivity of cow's blood as chemical fixer for dyes
Physical Description38p
Summary, Etc.Cow's blood is tested for its effectivity as a substitute to known chemical fixers for textile dyes. The blood is first separated into its components, which are plasma and cellular elements. Cotton is used as the textile tested for the effectiveness of cow's blood as a chemical fixer. Cotton is dyed with scarlet red, blue and yellow dyestuff. After dyeing, it is fixed with pure cow's blood, blood plasma and cellular elements which are the three treatments, then compared with the usual chemical fixer which served as the control. The intensity of colors and color fastness produced by dyes with cow's blood as fixer, are compared with those produced by the dyes with the usual chemical fixer. Findings show that the color difference between the treated textile with usual chemical fixer and treated with cow's blood is negligible. Moreover, the color fastness of cow's blood as a chemical fixer is much better than the usual fixing agent. Cow's blood, therefore, proved to be an effective and feasible substitute to usual chemical fixers for textile dyes. Cow's blood intensifies color in the same manner as the usual chemical fixer. It also perks up the color fastness of dyes better than the usual fixers. The results of this study would be very significant to the textile industries and agricultural trading. Not only is cow's blood made useful, but there is now an answer to the waste disposal of unwanted agricultural by-products, such as blood
