Direct Dyes

We are a famed Direct Dyes Manufacturer and Supplier in India. Direct Dyes are another class of dyes, one of the two types of dyes that are mixed in 'all purpose' dyes such as Rit. The other type in the mixture is an acid dye, which will not stay in any cellulose fiber for long. The advantage is that direct dyes may be more lightfast, that is, resistant to fading in the light, than fiber reactive dyes. The "Direct Dyes" classification in the Colour Index System refers to various planar, highly conjugated molecular structures that also contain one or more anionic sulfonate group. It is because of these sulfonate groups that the molecules are soluble in water. Though most Direct Dyes still can be obtained in powder form, it is increasingly popular to receive them as liquid concentrates. The advantage of concentrates is that they are easy to handle and meter. The disadvantage is that the surfactants and co-solvents needed to keep the dye concentrates stable may interfere with retention and sizing in the case of very deeply colored grades. Availability
