It is certain that oak, chestnut, sumack, walnut, waxberry, persimon, pomegranate, lotus, wormwood, onion skin, clove buds, tea, arecanut are the well-known plants used as color-brown dye materials both in the west and in the orient from old time.
For many centuries, these kinds of dyes have existed with history of our ancestors. They not only have beautiful color, but they are also no-pollution dye plants.
Although no-pollution dyestuffs are being required, pollution is overflowing in dyeing because of the highly industrialized struckture. So to speak, our actual world is severed from the culture of plants dyes.
So the purpose of this theses is not only to explore the history and characteristies of these ancient vegetable color-brown dyeing but to study specific traditional recipes for helping revive and develop the dyes into our national product and folk art. Each type of dye is introduced by a investigation of its historical origins followed by method of obtaining and using the dyestuffs.
Silk cloth was dyed with the color-brown extracted by boilling at a high temperature, and those dyed cloth were treated with several varying mordant(tin, chrom, copper, lime, lye, iron). These laboratory works gave the seal to the coloring matters.
We have obtained the following results. All the abstracted coloring matters obtained by boilling at a high temperature of the color-brown dye plants dye red-brown with tin-mordant and obtain beautiful color-brown with lime-mordant used traditionally.
This non-pollutive, beautiful color-brown dyeing has to be developed as the national industries, and is regarded as important because of the preservation of tradition.
The industrializing method:
1st; To manufacture highly enriched matters for easy custody and use.
2nd; TO manufacture and sale the liquefied coloring matters extracted by traditional method.
3rd; To manufacture highly enriched powder.
Therefore, it is urgent that we develop the natural dyes with the synthetic dyes.
