The amino composition, tensile strength, and elongation of Tasar silk is different from that of mulberry silk. Tasar silk, therefore, requires different wet processing conditions. Procedures for desizing, degumming, bleaching, dyeing, printing, chemical finishing, and calendering Tasar silk fabrics are discussed. Both reduction and oxidation bleaching methods are described. Dyeing with acid dyes, direct dyes, metal complex dyes, cold brand reactive dyes, and azoic colors is considered. Printing Tasar silk with direct and discharge methods is discussed. 11 refs.
