Cellulose Fiber has no affinity for basic dyes. So chemicals are applied (Mordanting Process) to create affinity in Cotton Fibre Dyeing.
Sequence is as follows:

1. Mordanting and Fixing:
Tertaremetic Acid
Fibre+ Tannic Acid Fixation Tannin Mordanting Cellulose.

Alternating synthetic mordents may be used.

Mordanting Fixing
Tannic Acid=4% Tertaremetic Acid=2%
M : L= 1:20 M : L = 1:20
Time = 2 hrs Time = 30 Min
Temp = Boiling Temp= Boiling

2. Dyeing:

Dye→1%
M : L→ 1 : 20
Time → 1 hrs
Temperature → above 70◦
