Abstract
Terry towels are widely preferred product in textiles and are generally made from pure cellulosic fibers. The huge quantity of terry towel, after use, is discarded as waste material. In the present investigation terry towel waste was converted to CMC and then utilized as a thickener in textile printing. The rheology of the thickener, which plays an important role in printing, was also studied in comparison with the standard CMC. The prints were analyzed by measuring color value (K/S), bending length and fastness to washing, crocking, and light. Results suggest that CMC obtained by waste recycling can substitute the sound CMC as a thickener in printing.
