Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2015 / V.27,no.2,Jun Title Characteristics and Application of the Highly-Durable and Highly-Sensitive Super Hydrophobic Acid-gas Sensing Dye Authors Taekyeong Kim† and Seonae Lee Institution/Affiliations Kyungpook National University Pages/Total page pp.105 ~ 112 / 8 Language Korean Abstract bstract: In order to detect gas phase strong acid on fabrics, a hexyl-substituted monoazo yellow dye, which was the modified form of a conventional pH-indicating dye, Methyl Yellow, was studied in view of acid-gas sensing properties and its fastness. The dye was printed on polypropylene non-wovens for protective coveralls and examined under various conditions of strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. The dye showed color change from yellow to red on exposure to gas phase hydrochloric acid as low concentration as 1~3 ppm very instantly. Considering reuse of the dye-printed non-wovens, the repeatability of color change was tested on the same sample for 50 repeats and 100 days. The acid-gas sensing function was maintained almost the same level of initial performance. The color fastness of the dye on polypropylene non-wovens was very good showing higher than ratings 4 except for 3~4 to rubbing under wet condition.
