Abstract
A comparatively greater quantity of dye is necessary to dye microfibre fabrics than conventional fabrics. This quantity depends on the finen ess of the fibre and on the size of the dye molecule. A difference bet ween the structure of the amorphous zones of polyester microfibres and conventional fibres can be invoked to explain this behaviour. This di fference in structure also explains the poor mechanical behaviour of m icrofibre fabrics during the washing process, particularly polar fleec e.
