The cold pad–batch dyeing process of wool pretreated by hydrogen peroxide was carried out with Lanasol reactive dyes and Realan reactive dyes. The influences of various conditions of the dyeing process, including urea dosage, sodium bisulphite dosage, pH value, batching time and the liquor pickup on colour yield, were analysed. Fixation, levelness of dyeing, dye penetration, colour fastness, breaking strength and elongation were compared between untreated and treated wool fabrics. The study showed that cold pad–batch dyeing of wool fabric is a good prospect for future use because of the resulting advantages, such as higher fixation yield, less energy usage and lower sewage discharge.
