DYE AND DYE CLASSIFICATION


Dyes as  colored  unsaturated organic molecules must  have affinity for fibers  to  be  effectively applied. The   dye s on  fibers  are  physically bound to the  fiber by one or more  physical  forces  including hydrogen   bonding, vander  Waals, or  ionic forces   and   in certain cases chemically bound  by covalent  bonds. Dyes  may  be  classified  in a number of  ways,   including color,  intended use,  trade  name, chemical constitution, and  basis   of  application. Of  these classification  methods, chemical constitution  and  basis of  application  have been  mo st  widely used. Chemical constitution  indicates the  major  chromophoreS  present  in the dye but  does not indicate more  than  such structural aspects of  the  dye. A classification scheme for dyes   has  been  developed and  evolved  for  use by dyers which  is  based on the method  of application and to a lesser degree  on  the  chemical constitution  of  the  dye  class. The classification  scheme  and  major dye classes are outline below.

Dyes Containing Anionic Functional Groups

Dyes  Requiring    Chemical
Reaction   before   Application
Acid  dyes
Vat  dyes
Direct   dyes
Azoic   dyes
Direct   dyes
Sulfur  dyes
Mordant   dyes

Reactive    dyes

                                                  
Dyes Containing Cationic Groups

Special  Colorant  Classes
Basic  dyes
Disperse    dyes

Solvent   dyes

Pigments

Natural    dyes
      Dyes  classified  by this scheme  are assigned  standard  designations according   to  dye  class,   color, and  overall constitution   by  the  Society of
Dyers and  Colorists in the Color Index   (e.g"  Acid  Blue 141, Vat Green 17,
Disperse   Red  17).
