This paper studies the direct relationship among temperature, dye fixation, fastness properties and breaking strength of cured dyed jute fabric. Jute and jute-cotton union fabric was dyed with direct dyes by the continuous method with very good fastness properties and dye fixation. By curing the dyed sample fabrics at 1500C for 1 minute, maximum dye fixation of 89% was achieved. The corresponding fastness properties of the dyed fabric such as washing, rubbing and light fastness were found to be 5, 5 and 7 respectively. The findings of the study indicate that jute and jute-cotton union fabrics can be successfully dyed in a continuous dye process with direct dyes.
