...Hejun Nie; Jianhong Jia; Yuanbin She; Mingyan Li Purpose Pigments, as essential colorants, are extensively used in industries such as coatings, inks and plastics. However, the dispersibility of pigments during application critically affects their performance. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance...

... of them was at an acceptable level. Originality/value Prodigiosin extracted from S. marcescens can be used as a bioactive compound to design and manufacture of anti-biofouling and anti-biofilm formation products to use extensively for industrial applications as a natural color in marine...

.... The evaluation of dyeing was studied by colour measurement and fastness properties in terms of wash, light, rub and sublimation fastness. Percentage dye exhaustion of modified dyes on a fabric was determined by measuring the optical density of diluted dye bath before and after the dyeing process...
