Abstract
The present study proposed a sustainable, cleaner, alternative, safer and environmentally friendly method for dyeing polyester fabric using a natural deep eutectic solvent as a dyeing medium. Besides enabling water conservation and reducing wastewater generation, the process also successfully eliminated the use of toxic and environmentally harmful auxiliaries. Dyeing performance, measured by CIELab and K/S values, was compared to conventional dyeing. The NADES dyeing method achieved higher K/S values and eliminated the need for additional auxiliaries, such as levelling and dispersant agents. The polyester fabric structure remains intact, as confirmed by physical property results. SEM analysis shows that the surface morphology of all polyester samples is smooth and uniform with no visible changes, indicating the dyeing process did not affect the fiber surface. Fastness ratings are consistent across all dyed polyester samples.
