Reactive Dyes

Reactive dyes form a covalent bond after they contact a fabric molecule for a firm fabric bonding. Reactive dyes are very commonly used in the textile industry on different materials such as wool, silk, and cotton. Different popular applications of reactive dyes include exhaust dyeing, discharge printing, and inkjet printing.Reactive Dyes are the most versatile and popular class of Organic Dyes for importing colour on cellulosic fibres. As the name suggests, these dyes chemically react with cellulose to form a covalent bond between dye molecule and cellulose. The salient features of Reactive Dyes are

  • Brilliant shades
  • Ease of application
  • Overall good fastness
  • Properties
  • Economy

Reactive Dye Factors

  • pH
  • Temperature
  • Electrolyte concentration
  • Time for dyeing

Reactive Dyes Properties

  • Reactive dyes come in all shades
  • Powder, print-paste, and liquid are the different forms
  • Good Water solubility
  • Resistant to degradation caused by Ultra Violet rays
  • Good light and wash fastness
