Though no data are available for the specific waste flows for this process their contribution to the environmental impact of this process can be assumed as low. Water losses due to evaporation are not recorded.10The data set represents the country / region specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.While dyeing the following physical or chemical processes occur: 1. the dye diffuses from the liquor to the textile material 2. the dye molecules accumulate on the surface of the fabric, what is controlled by the affinity of the colorant for the fibre 3. the dye diffuses into the interior of the fibre, a process which is slower than the transport processes of the dye to the fibre 4. the dye must be fixed within the substrate, e. g. by covalent bonds, by Van der Waals forces and other short range forces between the fibre and the dye. Disperse dyes have no solubilizing group and are of low molecular weight. Most disperse dyes are simple azo compounds, but also anthraquinones are important. The dye is attached to the fibre by hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions and Van der Waals forces. Disperse dyes are used for polyester, polyamide, acrylic fibres, and acetate. Dyeing can be carried out in a continuous process or, as it is done in the analyzed process, in batch mode. Batch dyeing means that a certain amount of textile material is put into the dyeing machine and brought to equilibrium with a solution which contains the dye and the auxiliaries. This process can last from minutes to hours depending on the fibre and the dye. When the right shade is reached the dye bath is drained and the textile material must be washed to remove unfixed dyes and chemicals. An important parameter is the liquor ratio, i.e. the weight ratio between the total dry material and the liquor. Disperse dyes are generally applied at high temperature without the use of carriers. The necessary amount of dye is 1.5 % of the dry weight of the fabric for dark dyeing. The stripping process with sodium hydroxide is carried out to give more brilliance to the colour. The machine used for the analyzed process is an overflow. In this kind of machine the fabric is transported in a very gentle way by the gravitational force of the liquor overflow.Provision of a standard technical product according to the applied technology.f316d6ee-9008-11db-b606-0800200c9a66_Textile_Dark disperse dyeing in overflow.jpgUnit process, single operationAttributionalNoneNot applicableFor details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"All data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.NoneCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).
