Abstract
Polyester fibre fabricated from poly(ethylene terephthalate) modified by adding 3 wt. % sulfoisophthalic acid Na salt dimethyl ester (Ukanol DM Sip) can be dyed with cationic dyes. The modified polyester fibre had color type, saturation, and fastness close to Nitron fibre, especially when Blue O and Red 5G cationic dyes were used. As a result of pilot industrial tests, it was found that the modified fibre can be dyed with cationic dyes to colors of medium intensity on complete selection of the dye from the bath. Standard polyester fibre cannot be totally dyed in these conditions.
