Study of Fluorescent Dyeing Process and Influence of Mixture Dyes on High-visibility

In this paper, we present the results of an investigation and analysis of an experimental study of fluorescent disperse dyes used for dyeing polyester fabrics to high-visibility colors. This paper describes the results of spectrophotometric color measurements for yellow luminous, red luminous and orange luminous fluorescent dyes and their matching with the requirements of the EN 471 standard. The results of this study showed that the adsorption isotherms of polyester dyeing with fluorescent disperse luminous dyes follow the Nernst equation; the Nernst constants were determined and interpreted. The adsorption kinetics of fluorescent disperse dyes on polyester is studied by using the peudo-first-order model, the pseudo-second-order equation and the intraparticle diffusion equation. The results show that pseudo-second-order models fit well the experimental data with higher average regression coefficients (R ² > 0.98). They also show that high-visibility is influenced by the dye concentration, and that the dye mixtures can affect the high-visibility.
