A Research on the Colors Obtained from Rockrose Cistus laurifolius L. and Their Fastness Values

Abstract

Rockrose is a plant of class Pareitales, family Cistaceae, genus cistus L. The aim of this research is to determine colors obtained from rockrose with different mordants and mordanting methods, these colors fastness values such as light, friction, wet and dry water drop fastness, and to form a color catalogue. In this study, by doing totally 45 dyings, rockrose gaye very different kinds of colors, if mordants were used alone at the rate of 3% and 5%, yellow, earth color, mustard, cumin colors and tones were obtained from rockrose. Mustard, tobacco and yellow tones were obtained by mixing fixed Pbc with the other mordants separately. If mordants were used alone, light fastness values were between 2 and 8 generally. They were in the middle level. However, they changed between 4 and 8 by mixing fixed Pbc with the other mordants separately. They were generally in the good level. The friction fastness values of the colors obtained from rockrose were between 1-2 and 3-4 generally. These values were in the middle or good level. The water drop wet and dry fastness values of the colors obtained from rockrose were between 3- 4 and 5 generally in both method.
