Evaluation of palm fiber (brahea dulcis) dyeing with basic and disperse dyes
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study evaluates the dyeing of palm fiber (Brahea dulcis), widely used in the Mixtecaregion of Oaxaca for the artisanal elaboration of hats and other utensils, through the application of basic and dispersed dyes. The fiber was classified based on its natural coloration and previous treatments were applied to improve the penetration of thedye. Subsequently, dyeing processes and tests of fastness to rubbing, sweating and ironing were carried out under ISO standards. The results showed that the dispersed dyes provided more intense tones and better resistance compared to the basic ones, although in both cases the lightfastness was moderate. It is concluded that the incorporation of modern dyeing techniques in traditional fibers allows to expand the chromatic range and improve the quality of artisanal products, generating a potential for cultural and commercial valorization.
