About Bifunctional Reactive Dyes
Superior Dye Fixation and FastnessHarnessing the power of two reactive groupsVinyl Sulfone and MCTthese dyes achieve robust fixation on cellulosic fibers at optimal temperatures (6080C). The bifunctional chemistry elevates both color yield and fastness, making them ideal for diverse textile applications, including garment, home textiles, and industrial fabrics.
Versatile Application MethodsBifunctional Reactive Dyes are engineered for compatibility with standard dyeing processes, including exhaust, continuous, cold pad batch, and pad dry pad steam. Their high solubility and anionic nature ensure consistent performance across varied methods, catering to both large-scale operations and specialized textile production.
Eco-Conscious and Safe for Textile UseManufactured to meet strict ecological and environmental safety standards, these dyes are free from hazardous substances and do not impart odor or toxicity under normal conditions. Their excellent washing, rubbing, and perspiration fastness further assure long-term textile quality with minimal impact on the environment.
FAQs of Bifunctional Reactive Dyes:
Q: How do bifunctional reactive dyes achieve superior color fastness?
A: The dual reactive groupsVinyl Sulfone and Monochlorotriazineform strong covalent bonds with cellulose fibers, leading to enhanced fixation and improved washing, light, and perspiration fastness, typically rated at Grade 45 per ISO standards.
Q: What processes are compatible with these dyes for textile applications?
A: These dyes are suitable for exhaust, continuous, cold pad batch, and pad dry pad steam methods. Their high solubility and ionic nature ensure broad compatibility with various dyeing auxiliaries and cellulosic substrates.
Q: When should common salt or sodium sulphate be added during dyeing?
A: Salt is generally added during the dyeing process to facilitate exhaustion of the dye onto the fiber, improving color uptake and consistency. The amount depends on the specific process and material being dyed.
Q: Where are these dyes primarily used?
A: Bifunctional Reactive Dyes are widely used in textile manufacturing across major global markets, including South Asia, the European Union, North America, the Middle East, and Africa, for dyeing and printing cellulosic fibers.
Q: What benefits do these dyes offer in discharge printing applications?
A: With good dischargeability, these dyes are well-suited for discharge printing, enabling clear, bright patterns and shades by selectively removing or deactivating color in specific fabric areas during processing.
Q: Are these dyes safe for use in eco-friendly textile production?
A: Yes, the dyes are formulated to comply with international environmental and ecological standards for textile use, are non-poisonous, and do not emit harmful odors, making them ideal for sustainable manufacturing.
Q: How should the dyes be stored for optimum shelf life?
A: Store in tightly closed HDPE bags, fiber drums, or carton boxes under recommended cool and dry conditions. Under these conditions, the shelf life reaches up to two years.
