Description
A large class of water-soluble dyes that quickly adhere to fibers without the aid of a mordant. Natural direct dyes include Henna, Annatto, Saffron, Turmeric, and Archil. Synthetic direct dyes, or substantive dyes, were first derived from Aniline in 1884. In general, they give bright full colors when applied directly onto fiber in a neutral or slightly alkaline aqueous bath containing Sodium chloride or other salts. Often direct dyes are applied to Cotton or Linen, but some work well with Leather, rayon, Silk, or Wool. Because direct dyes generally possess poor colorfastness, some after-treatments, such as diazotization development, are used to improve washfastness. These after-treatments, however, produce new chromophoric groups that change the base color of the dye. For more information on developers see Naphthol, Phenylenediamine, Phenol, Phenylmethylpyrazolone, or Resorcinol.
