Product Description Product DescriptionDirect dyes are a type of dye that can directly dissolve in water and directly dye cellulose fibers (such as cotton, linen, viscose, etc.) under neutral or weakly alkaline conditions. Their product properties can be described in detail from aspects of chemical properties, physical properties, dyeing performance, etc. as follows: Chemical PropertiesChemical StructureMolecules contain water-soluble groups such as sulfonate groups (-SO3Na) and sodium carboxylate groups (-COONa), which endow them with good water solubility and enable them to dissociate into negatively charged dye anions in water.The chromophoric system is mainly azo-type (accounting for more than 70%), containing chromophores such as azo groups (-N=N-). Some varieties are anthraquinone-type, phthalocyanine-type, etc. The molecular structure usually contains multiple aromatic rings (such as benzene rings) which impart rich colors (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.) to the dye through the conjugated system.The molecular weight is moderate (generally between 500-1000), and the molecular structure is linear and planar. It can combine with the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in cellulose fiber molecules through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces to achieve dyeing. Chemical StabilityThey are relatively stable under neutral to weakly alkaline conditions and are suitable for use in dye baths with a pH of 7-10. Under strongly acidic conditions, water-soluble groups may be protonated (e.g., -SO3Na→-SO3H), resulting in decreased solubility or even precipitation.They have poor stability to oxidizing agents and are easily oxidized to destroy chromophores, leading to fading. Their stability to reducing agents varies by variety, and azo-type direct dyes may be reduced and decomposed.Some direct dyes (such as copper salt direct dyes) contain metal complex structures, with relatively better stability, and better light fastness and wash fastness. Physical PropertiesAppearanceMost are powdery or granular, and a few are liquid. The colors cover almost all color spectra, with moderate color brightness. Among them, azo-type direct dyes are mainly red, yellow, and orange, while anthraquinone-type are mainly dark colors such as blue and green. SolubilityThey are easily soluble in water, and the solubility increases with temperature. Some varieties (such as direct light-fast dyes) have low solubility and need to be heated or added with cosolvents (such as urea) to improve solubility.They have low solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol usually only slightly soluble or insoluble. Other Physical PropertiesThe melting point is not clear, and they are easily decomposed when heated, with the decomposition temperature mostly between 200-300°C;The density is generally 1.3-1.6 g/cm3, depending on the molecular structure. Dyeing PerformanceApplicable FibersMainly used for dyeing cellulose fibers (cotton, linen, viscose fiber, rayon, etc.), because cellulose molecules contain a large number of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces with dye molecules;They can also be used for dyeing protein fibers (wool, silk) and polyamide fibers (nylon), but the affinity is low, and process adjustments (such as pH adjustment) are needed to improve the dye uptake rate;Some varieties can be used for coloring paper, leather, and wood. Dyeing ConditionsDyeing medium: Usually carried out under neutral or weakly alkaline conditions (adjustable with soda ash) to avoid dye precipitation caused by acidic conditions;Dyeing temperature: Most direct dyes are dyed at 70-100°C. High temperature can promote the diffusion of dye molecules into the fiber and improve the dye uptake rate; some low-temperature direct dyes can complete dyeing below 60°C. Dyeing MethodsMainly dip dyeing and pad dyeing. Sodium sulfate or salt is often added to the dye bath as a dyeing accelerator. By increasing the concentration of sodium ions in the dye bath, the repulsion between dye anions and the negative charge on the fiber surface is reduced, and dye adsorption is promoted;After dyeing, fixation treatment is required (such as treatment with formaldehyde, copper salts, and cationic fixing agents) to improve wash fastness and rubbing fastness. Fabrics dyed with direct dyes without fixation are prone to color fading. Color FastnessWash fastness: Generally poor (level 2-3), especially for dark varieties, which are prone to migration or fading during washing. It can be improved to level 3-4 after fixation;Light fastness: Varies by structure. Azo-type has moderate light fastness (level 3-4), anthraquinone-type and phthalocyanine-type have better light fastness (level 4-5). Direct light-fast dyes can reach level 5 in light fastness through molecular structure optimization (such as introducing sulfonate groups);Rubbing fastness: Moderate (about level 3). Dark fabrics are prone to color fading due to rubbing, which needs to be improved through post-treatment. Classification and Typical Varieties Type Characteristics Typical VarietiesOrdinary direct dyes Low price, complete color spectrum, but poor wash fastness and light fastness Direct Red F2G (CAS 12222-48-9), Direct Yellow RDirect light-fast dyes Introduce electron-withdrawing groups (such as -Cl, -NO2) in the molecule, with excellent light fastness and good wash fastness Direct Light Fast Blue B2RL, Direct Light Fast Yellow 5GDirect copper salt dyes Contain copper complex structure, with better color fastness (light fastness, wash fastness) than ordinary varieties, and darker colors Direct Copper Blue 2R, Direct Copper Red BDirect diazo dyes Can generate azo chromophores on fibers through diazotization reaction, with bright colors and high fastness Direct Diazo Black BH Direct dyes are widely used in the dyeing of cellulose fibers such as cotton and linen due to their convenient application, low cost, and complete color spectrum, especially suitable for small-batch and multi-variety production needs. However, their insufficient color fastness (especially wash fastness) can be compensated by fixation processes or blending with other dyes (such as reactive dyes).Specification Company profile Exhibition Packing & Delivery FAQ
