Description
A class of water-insoluble dyes that are applied to textiles in a reduced, usually colorless, water-soluble form. Once applied, the dye is oxidized to an insoluble colored form. Natural vat dyes, such as Indigo, Woad, and Tyrian purple, have been used for at least 4000 years. The first synthetic vat dye (indigo) was discovered in 1880 by Adolf von Baeyer. In 1901, indanthrene was the first vat dye to be sold commercially. In general, vat dyes are very resistant to washing and sunlight. They are used on Cotton, Linen, Rayon, and Cellulose acetate. Other examples of vat dyes include several anthraquinone derivatives such as synthetic alizarin and Alizarin yellow.
