Abstract:	Heavy shade microdenier nylon 6,6 fabrics usually have poor washfastness. The effects of dye concentrations and dyeing conditions on washfastness of these dyed fabrics were investigated. Aftertreatment with various synthetic tanning agents (syntan) was also studied. The fabrics were dyed with 13 dyes including metallized 1:2 and 1:1, non-metallized monoazo, disazo, and anthraquinone dyes. Dye chemical structure was found to be the most important factor affecting the washfastness of heavy shade microdenier nylon 6,6 fabrics. Metallized dyes can achieve high washfastness. Syntan treatment can significantly improve washfastness on the fabrics dyed with non-metallized, two sulfonate group containing acid dyes. Good washfastness for heavy shade microdenier nylon fabric can be expected when the properly selected dye type, optimized dyeing conditions, and appropriate aftertreatment are used.
