Factors affecting dyeability such as sodium hydrosulphite concentration, dyeing temperature and dye concentration were also studied. It was found that color strength (K/S) values of the carbocyclic vat dyes on PA and PET are high, which confirms the usefulness of these dyes for dyeing PA and PET fabrics in a neutral medium (acid leuco) at the specific temperature 120°C with very good fastness properties. However, K/S values obtained using heterocyclic vat dyes are very low compared with those obtained using carbocyclic vat dyes. The results indicate the possibility of using carbocyclic vat dyes for the one-bath and one-stage dyeing of PA/PET blend fabric with very good fastness properties. %U https://ejchem.journals.ekb.eg/article_63530_a9c3cc7907822dc5bbfeb97debac6e72.pdf
