Penggunaan Mordan Akhir Terusi terhadap Hasil Celupan Kain Batik dengan Ekstrak Kayu Secang

Batik cloth color durability is a prerequisite for improving the competitiveness of the product, as the number of consumer complaints on the subject. How many treatments that can be done to address and improve fastness, is to perform the process of perfecting the end of the fabric that has been dyed using the final mordant materials, namely “terusi” or cupric sulfate (CuSO4) .5H2O. The use of extracts of the wooden cup on a batik cloth, batik cloth produces the erosion resistance value is low, so it is rarely used in the singular in batik dyeing, but mixed with wood extract Cleaner or other materials, but the results did not show its true colors.
