Natural Dyes or Vegetable dyes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533402752)

The textile industry has now stepped into the golden era of natural dyes i.e. dyes derived from natural resources. These dyes can be of vegetable, animal or mineral origin. This book mainly deals with vegetable natural dyes. After the accidental synthesis of mauve by William Henry Perkin in 1856 and its subsequent commercialization, heralding the advent of coal tar dyes (also known as synthetic dyes) the use of natural dyes had receded in the industry and had become the domain of hobbyists. A wide range of synthetic dyestuff was thrust upon the industry and it was readily accepted for its distinct advantage over natural dyes with respect to application, colour range and availability.
