Abstract

Color fading of denim fabric was done in this study by using natural reducing agent to make environment friendly effect and reduce toxicity for the application of chemical process on denim fabric. Different natural reducing agents such as; lemon, tomatoes, tamarind, sugarcane, pineapple barks, edible root, dubbed sloughs, emblica, cucumber, palm cabbage sloughs, grape, lotkon, carambola were used. Denim fabric was rubbed 20-30 times by these natural reducing agents. Denim fabric was dried atmospherically after manual process of fading. The fabric was washed with 1-2% detergent at room temperature then dried at 80°C. Color difference value, CMC value, stiffness, tensile strength, whiteness index (°CIE), the GSM of naturally faded denim fabric was also investigated to make a comparison with chemically faded denim.
