Here, a commercially available absorbent with a high adsorption capacity (Cloisite® 15A) was coated on a relatively cheap and flexible polyester fabric through simple pad–dry–cure method for removing dye from an aqueous solution. By using this component with good activity against discoloration expected to produce a substrate with a good ability discoloration. FESEM images with EDX patterns and X–ray diffraction spectra revealed the presence of nanoclay on the fabric surface. Discoloration of Reactive Red 4 dye (RR4) was performed by addition of a piece of the coated fabric with stirring in the dye solution. The surface of the coated fabric was colored by the presence of nanoclay acts as adsorbent dye.
