By following welleknown methods, sulfonated aiylamines dichlorotriazinc based reactive dyes were synthesized, isolateøi and applied on knitted pure cotton fabric by exhaust process. Various parameters to define color and fastness properties were measured. Desire hue and properties can be obtained by changing the coupling reagent; sulfonated aiylamine during the synthesis of sutfonated arylamines dichiorotriazine based reactive dyes. Orange, red and purple hue were obtained by using I anaphthol3suIfonic acid, 6 amino, I enaphthoi.3esulfonic acid, I amino and l4laphthol’3,6-disUIfOniC acid, 8 amino respectively, while lenaphthola3,Sadisulfonic acid, S amino and 1,5-disulfonic acid, 7 amino provided peach puff hue. The prepared dyes delivered a change in color equivalent to gray scale step 4/5 to 5 for wash fastness, gray scale step 3 to 4 for spotting with hydrochloric acid, gray scale step 314 to S for spotting with acetic acid, gray scale step 3 to 415 for steeping with sodium carbonate and gray scale step 1 to 3/4 for spotting ith calcium hydroxyl& Chromatographic, visible and infrared spectroscopic studies of synthesized dyes were also performed.
