Estamparia e sustentabilidade: o uso de corantes naturais no processo de tingimento de tecidos

Abstract

In this work we present research results on printing and the use of natural dyes in the processof dyeing cotton fabrics, from the extraction of elements from nature close to our coexistence.The investigation is part of the final work of the Technology Course in Fashion Design at the Instituto Federal do Piauí, Campus Teresina Zona Sul. We adopted quantitative-qualitative and experimental research as a methodological guideline to verify the feasibility of sustainableuse of new sources of pigments. natural materials of vegetal origin for the artisanal textile printing, in cotton. We analyze the data from the perspective of the SWOT matrix, verifying strengths and weaknesses,opportunities and threats. The research points to satisfactory results in the sense of use in small-scale production, since the fixation of the color still does not guarantee the durability of the product, such as those that receive industrial color treatment
