    The document describes different dye classes including direct, azoic, vat, sulphur, reactive, acid, and disperse dyes. It provides a general description of each class including application method, color range, fastness properties, and main applications. The direct, azoic, and reactive dyes are mainly used for cellulosic fibers. Vat dyes are commonly used for high quality cotton goods. Sulphur dyes are mostly used for heavy cellulosic goods in dark shades. Acid dyes have a complete color range and are commonly used for wool, silk and nylon. Disperse dyes are mostly used for polyester and acetate.

    Dye Class General description Main application

    Direct Simple application; cheap; complete colour range; Mainly used for cellulosic fibres;
    moderate colour fastness but can be improved by can also be applied on rayon, silk
    after-treatment with copper salts & cationic fixing & wool
    agents.

    Azoic Complicated application; limited colour range Mainly applied on cellulosic


    (Naphthol) (red, orange, navy among the best); bright shade fibres, especially on brilliant red
    at moderate cost; generally good wet fastness but shade
    moderate to poor dry cleaning & rubbing fastness;
    also called naphthol dye due to the use of
    naphthol, or ice colour because of the usage of ice
    during application.
    Vat Difficult to apply (requires reduction treatment to Commonly used for high quality
    make soluble in water & oxidation to resume cotton goods, e.g. towel; specially
    insoluble state after dyeing); most expensive; used in the dyeing of denim fabric
    incomplete colour range (strong in blue & green
    but weak in brilliant red); good all round fastness
    except indigo & sulphurised vat species; tending
    to decrease in popularity due to increasing use of
    reactive dye
    Sulphur Difficult to apply (application similar to vat dyes); Mostly used for heavy cellulosic
    cheap particularly for dark shade; incomplete goods in dark shades.
    black, navy, khaki & colour range (strong in
    brown but no bright shade); poor washing &
    rubbing fastness & sensitive to chlorine; may
    cause fabric rendering of cellulose upon storage
    (aging).

    Reactive Easy application; moderate price; complete colour Commonly used for all cellulosic
    range; good fastness due to direct reaction with goods especially in knitted fabric
    fibres. batch wise dyeing; selective dyes
    can also be applied on wool, silk
    & rayon; increasingly used in
    printing due to good fastness
    Acid Easy application; complete colour range with very Commonly used for wool, silk &
    good bright shades; fastness properties may vary nylon
    among individual dyes.
    Disperse Require skill in application (either by carrier or Mostly used for polyester &
    under high temperature); moderate price; acetate; can also be applied on
    complete colour range; limited solubility in water nylon & Acrylic.
    (normally dispersed in water for application);
    good fastness after reduction clearing treatment;
    sublimation property.
