Disperse dyes were formulated and introduced to permit dyeing of hydrophobic thermoplastic fibers including acetate, triacetate, nylon, polyester, acrylic, and other synthetics. The disperse dyes are small polar molecules, usually containing anthraquinone or azo groups, which do not have charged cationic or anionic groups within the structure. The disperse dyes are sparingly soluble in water and must be dispersed with aid of a surfactant in the dyebath. As the small amount of dissolved disperse dye diffuses into the fiber, additional dye dispersed in solution is dissolved, until the disperse dye is nearly completely exhausted onto the fiber. A special class of reactive disperse dyes has been introduced that can react with fibers 1ike acetate and nylon after diffusion into the fiber. The light- and washfastness of these dyes is generally good, but difficulty has been encountered with fume fading with certain of the disperse dyes. Many disperse dyes have appreciable vapor pressures at elevated temperatures and can be "dyed" onto thermoplastic fibers by subl imation, which involves diffusion of the dye vapors into the fiber.
