Abstract


Nowadays, the traditional silk dyeing practice is more popular while the natural material of dyeing is seldom used in the dyeing process. To figure out of finding a new natural material of dyeing, this research is aimed to 1) investigate the use of tamarind seeds as natural ingredient in silk dyeing through the process of seed extraction, 2) determine the effect of the mordant (purple-colored orchid, tamarind leaves, alum and mud) on the quality of dyeing and 3) apply in silk product. The results show that the extraction of water dyeing from tamarind seed and seed coat by using tamarind seed and seed coat 1 kilogram each with 7 liters of water and then boiling for one and a half hour. Silk fibers after dyeing with water dyeing from tamarind seed and seed coat show golden brown to gray color according to the mordant. Silk dyed is strength and color fastness to hot pressing, rubbing and perspiration are quite good to quite excellent (2/3-4/5) but the color resistant to fade is low quality. Also, silk dyeing combination with alum and mud are the best overall color fastness, which can be applied to silk production. Therefore, the outstanding of this research is the utilization from the abundance of tamarind seeds to support the silk product in terms of commercial value and could be served to the customer, save cost as well as the dyers and wearers are safe from chemical dyeing.
