Use of Bio-polymeric Dye from Butea monosperma (Palash Gond) Resin for Sustainable Textiles cotton, linen and silk Using Tie-Dye Technique

Abstract

This research paper examines how to extract natural dye from Butea monosperma (Palash Gond) and by using it for making fascinating fabric patterns through tie-dye techniques. The textile industry needs to evolve better ways to colour fabrics that do not harm the environment by use of Bio-polymeric dye. Natural dyes from plants offer a safe choice instead of chemical dyes that pollute water. In this research, mixed method research is used which integrates both qualitative and quantitative research which effectively address the research objectives. Aqueous method have been used to record how Palash resin works when applied on cotton, linen, and silk using traditional tie-dye technique like marbling, Nui shibori, and binding techniques. The findings reveal that Palash resin creates warm colours ranging from reddish pink to orange with clear pattern lines because the resin is naturally sticky and thick. Textile artists and small craft businesses can make use of natural dye to make special fabric products that customers’ value for being traditional and environmentally friendly
