Sumario:This work aims to conduct an eco-friendly textile finishing process by applying agricultural by-products as a dye for the finishing of polyamide fabrics. A natural dye was obtained from pomegranate peel extract. Polyamide fabrics were dyed at different conditions, and four mordanting agents were tested. The finished fabrics were analyzed in terms of CIE L, a, b and color yield (K/S) values, as well as washing fastness, rubbing fastness, light fastness and antibacterial activity. Results show that pomegranate peel extract could dye polyamide fabrics. The rubbing and washing fastness of the finished samples was good. The light fastness was fair, and its antibacterial efficiency against the tested bacteria was good.
