Description
A synthetic dye that reacts with the fiber to form a covalent bond. Reactive dyes were first discovered in 1954 by Rattee and Stephens at ICI. They were marketed as Procion dyes in 1956. Fiber reactive dyes have bright colors that are both lightfast and washfast. They are most commonly used on cellulose fibers but also react with the hydroxyl or amino groups found in wool, silk, nylon, acrylic, and acetate fibers.
Synonyms and Related Terms
fiber reactive dyes; fiber-reactive dyes; fibre-reactive dyes (Br.); colorante reactivo (Esp.); corante reactivo (Port.)
Examples include: Procion [ICI]; Cibacron [Ciba-Geigy]; Drimarene
Other Properties
Soluble in water.
